Oops, I meant Mington, obv!

Which I'm glad about. Merus, is your suggestion to pan and scan? If so, yuck!

That first quote is word for word what someone on the DF forums posted, so it seems like one noisy person running around pretending to be surprised every time...

That's fantastic news regarding the cutscene assets!

I don't think I've seen these here yet. Someone just posted this on the Double Fine forums: Seems TFYC are making a series of short videos celebrating certain women in the industry, called "Vivien James Presents - Women In Game Design". It was probably unintentional, but the editing choice at 2:10 comes across as hugely sarcastic!

Oh ffs, yes I did, thanks!

Search doesn't return any results for "gaymer", though I'm pretty sure GaymerX has been discussed on these forums before, so I'm not sure if the Kickstarter for the third one (now renamed GX) has been linked to yet. There are a few companies who have sponsored or donated heavily. I wonder if they'll be getting linked to the asshole-gamers' blacklist?

Something else from Matt Lees, a video aimed at people on the fence and who don't want to talk about politics, just about games: tl;dw - talking about this stuff is talking about games because if all the diversity is harrassed out of the industry/medium, games will get even more homogenised and shitty.

Sorry, I'm misusing this thread, but does anyone remember where it was here that someone was pointing out holes in Minority Report (something about his eye colour) recently? I just re-watched the film and want to go back and see what that person was saying, but I can't find the damn post!

Reported.

I can't believe people are talking about this. It's a joke. Follow the money: there's only a problem when it flows to the journalists from developers and publishers, not the other way around. That's just being a consumer.

Ah shit, sorry, got conned by the fake account Hermie, can you remove the link from your quote of me, please?

Someone else may have waited until the next page to do this, but

Ooh, it's on Netflix UK, so I'll try and watch it while avoiding all the spoilers Netflix shove in your face at every opportunity. (Adding to your list? Have a synopsis! Buffering? have a screen-filling, seemingly random grab from the film! Paused the film for two seconds? Have a synopsis again just in case you missed it!) I recently saw: Lucy, which was more interesting than the Black Widow/Bourne film I was expecting and moves more in the direction, but still has a load of Besson tropes and is quite messy and directionless. Sin City 2 - similar opinion to the first one, which is it generally loses the comic/cool timing of the original comics, the copious voice-over feels overdone to the point of a Zucker Brothers film, and makes some strange minor changes, always for the worst. Okay, and probably more enjoyable if you haven't read the comics, but just like those, the films start to feel very repetitive very quickly. 22 Jump Street. Enjoyable and I was chuckling throughout but, despite ramming jokes about their self-awareness of it into the ground, is basically a re-run of the first film, while ironically less interesting and trope-defying in an attempt to be a little different from the first. The credit sequence is phenomenal, though.

Well, you posted girl probs on a forum so you're getting advice! I'd wait for two weeks, then text her (or whatever you kids do these days) with something brief like "no pressure or expectations!" at the end. If there's still drama after that, it's probably not going to happen. Sounds like you're probably planning something very similar anyway!

I'd advise you to tell her that you're willing to take it super-slow and let her take the lead, and that if it doesn't work out then it's okay. That way she'll hopefully be able to relax and enjoy her time with you without worrying exactly what it means minute to minute. The thing is, you actually have to mean all that, otherwise it's not going to be satisfying for you. But if you can get in the mindset of "let's see what happens and have fun whatever" and not fully commit emotionally until you know there's reason to, then you should be able to enjoy it too!

Ohhh yeah, I should have said "pointed to".

Vine works for me now! Yayyy!

You joined today at 08:16 and posted at 08:24 asking Twig for a free game. I think that contravenes his guidelines: I really fucking hope some arsehole hasn't linked to this thread as a way of getting free games again.

You know what's not visually appealing? A chocolate-covered turd.

I thought "just gravy" meant "an additional bonus", as in "the rest is just gravy"..?

Yes you do, Syd! Hello!

I would have done that but Codicier was already aware of it!

Ugh, some of these games, eg Dishonored and Bioshock, are on my backlog to play but now my anticipation for playing them has been mixed with trepidation.
