  1. A Song Of Ice And Fire

    I'll take this to mean there are no good non-ASOIAF GRRM books!
  2. Half-Life 3

    Hee hee! FInally the response I wanted from Rodi to my slambang posts!
  3. Looks like something got removed due to causing problems. Probably for the best, though it's a shame. Maybe we can have a new one in a month or so?
  4. Games giveaway

    Oh God, this is horrible. Newcomers: this is a thread for regular forumites to gift each other games. Showing up and throwing a few mindless posts around the place is still not going to get you free games. I suggest we report users who have only registered in the last few days, too.
  5. Half-Life 3

    I heard insider gossip that HL3 will be the SteamOS launch title killer app. I'm not posting this just to annoy Rodi by bumping the thread, it's deffo true.

    " I have edited one of my posts to include a Steam code for Half-Life 3, but you must read the ENTIRE Feminism thread in order to find it..."
  7. Please help with Identifying music from games

    It was a superb and extremely popular game so actually the odds are really low, actually.
  8. A Song Of Ice And Fire

    My girlfriend just said she fancies reading another GRRM book. What's a good one to pick up?
  9. Games giveaway

    I'm guessing lurkers got most of them too ):
  10. NO THIS IS THE STAR TREK THREAD GET YOUR OWN THREAD.
  11. Games giveaway

    Agreed. So, miffy, you still got that copy of Saint's Row 3 from twenty pages ago?
  12. Games giveaway

    Has someone linked to this thread on Reddit or something?
  13. Please help with Identifying music from games

    Oh, sorry, the first three are from Second Samurai (the track titles are "Elite Frontier", "Super Skidmarks" and "First Samurai"), the second three are from Gibbage (track titles "Zak McCracken And The Alien Mindbenders", "Thruster Buster" and "Theme From Gibbage: Reprise"), and the last one is from the Famicom SMB3 secret underwater cloud level which doesn't show up on the OST.

    Number Three is First Samurai; the rest are in order from first to last.
  15. Games giveaway

    Hey Azkat, this is just an informal thread where regular forumites gift games to each other. As you're brand new, some people may want to get to know you before gifting you games. On the other hand, there are plenty of people who have left keys open for anyone and presumably wouldn't mind if you took one, although I'm sure they'd like you to hang around afterwards and join our community. Above all else, follow the teachings of Bill and Ted, and you won't go far wrong: Be Excellent To Each Other (And Party On, Dudes).
  16. Games giveaway

    I took the first Humble Bundle one, thanks Cigol! It turned out to be Scribblenauts Unlimited, which thankfully I didn't have and so was not wasted! Are all those codes from the WB Games Bundle, then? If so, the others will be some of these, right?

  17. Movie/TV recommendations

    To be fair, the first two films were sold very intentionally in that way by Wright/Pegg/Frost - SotD was described as a "RomZomCom" and "Spaced with zombies", and HF as a "British Bad Boys 2". My expectations were so skewed that it took a second viewing to appreciate the films for what they were - a zombie film with comedy elements and an intricately constructed murder mystery comedy. I'm hoping I'll enjoy TWE a lot more on my second viewing as well - although I'm not sure if confounded expectations had as much to do with my disappointment for this one.
  18. Please help with Identifying music from games

    It's First Samurai. The other ones are Elite Frontier, Super Skidmarks, Zak McCracken And The Alien Mindbenders, Gibbage and the Famicom version of Super Mario Bros 3. You're welcome.
  19. I'm Going to Make a Game

    The question is whether Messi wants to study adventures for historical value, regardless of quality.
  20. Wow, SecretAsianMan has recommended some genuinely good episodes of sci-fi drama here. Yesterday's Enterprise and Best Of Both Worlds are cracking sci-fi and The Drumhead feels eerily relevant.
  21. It's beginning to look a lot like...

    23 minutes til Christmas! Merry Commercialism, everyone!
  22. I'm Going to Make a Game

    Ah, okay, thanks for clarifying. Yeah, it's more that it's very talky, right?
  23. I'm Going to Make a Game

    As it sometimes causes confusion, I'll point out that you do need to own a copy of Grim in order to get those data files - Residual doesn't provide them, just facilitates them. Other adventure game types you might want play are old Sierra games (I'm not a big expert on these - maybe a Kings Quest or Space Quest), text adventures (Zork is the big one) or newer, more interactive fiction-leaning adventures like The Walking Dead, Longest Journey or Beyond: Two Souls. I haven't played a lot of these games though, so I can't vouch for all of their quality!
