  1. Plug your shit

    Sorry dude, tried to listen to this but my ears hurt every time someone laughed. You've got to sort those levels out, man.
  2. Movie/TV recommendations

    Yeah, that's why I said "plus".
  3. Games giveaway

    Someone has taken Aquaria.
  4. Movie/TV recommendations

    Yeah, come on guy, spoiler tags for plot points is pretty standard. Plus in the zombie genre there's a much higher possibility of that not being the ending. Plus Larry Sanders almost 20 years ago really kicked it off (Ricky Gervais is a massive Shandling fan and carried this trope over to Extras)
  5. I read they've embiggened the studios too.
  6. Monkey Island 2: SE

    I'd rather have had Ron Gilbert's (and Schafer's/Grossman's) MI3, and then if the ending allowed have the rest of the games come after that. On topic, I preferred the original graphics in both SEs and found that a lot of the dialogue didn't work spoken and a lot of the acting was either miscast or just bad. Good to hear Earl Boen do another great LeChuck voice though.
  7. Deleting or deactivating your account?

    It wasn't the Half Life 3 thread, was it?
  8. Monkey Island 2: SE

    Gahhh, let's move this over to the LA playthrough thread...
  9. The Big LucasArts Playthrough

    Pretty sure Disney would disagree with you on that one.
  10. Monkey Island 2: SE

    MI4 gets a lot of stick. I remember it being okay, but it kind of went overboard with the contemporary references and some of the graphics haven't aged very well.
  11. Movie/TV recommendations

    Yep, Cloudy is amazing, and the 3D is great too. Looking forward to the sequel!
  12. Monkey Island 2: SE

    Or Sam And Max Hit The Road.
  13. Life

    Also keep us updated on the punishment meted out to his assailants, please.
  14. Movie/TV recommendations

    No! No dialogue twixt the ladies as far as I remember. Tegan is spot on with everything, though I'd rate it one and a half stars out of four. Far too much Revenge Of The Sith and Transformers in there, not enough Batman Begins.
  15. Plug your shit

    Looks like a great concept, and an excellent trailer, well done! My immediate touchstone was Micro Machines rather than Mario Kart. Is there a slightly more, um, professional announcement page anywhere that I can plug?
  16. Monkey Island 2: SE

    I thought they allowed speech with the old mode for MI2SE: http://uk.ign.com/articles/2010/06/23/six-changes-to-monkey-island-2-special-edition
  17. She looks near-identical to me. Maybe I'm not looking at the right pics?
  18. Kickstarter - A VAMPYRE STORY: YEAR ONE

    You mean "people thought it was bad"?
  19. Far Cry Action-BubblesTM
  20. Dreams!

    Yeah, I get the running and punching thing. Someone told me once that it's because our actual body is asleep and we can't move it, so that translates into our dream. The cool thing is, soon after I was told that, it happened to me again but I remembered what I'd been told and realised I was dreaming, which led to me having my first and only lucid dream, where I could control what was happening, which was amazing. I've tried to get it to happen again but can't.
  21. Weird Medical Shit

    Occasionally when I sneeze for no particular reason, I get a strong lavender-y, flowery smell. I'd take this to mean that I'm having a momentary allergic reaction to some flowers nearby, except it's always the exact same smell and sometimes I'm nowhere near any flowers or lavender or pot pourri or anything.
  22. On Video game faces

    Just to clarify, which bits of this are jokes? We're talking about square jawlines essentially, right? Personally, I don't think the last two of your video game examples really fit. Randomly picking this choice of attractive current actresses doesn't show too many, either: http://latestwebstuff.com/top-10-sexiest-and-beautiful-hollywood-actresses-of-2012/2916.html But if indeed you have noticed a trend we haven't, an interesting point is that, comparing that photo of Jolie to younger photos of her (say, in Hackers), she did not always have that jawline. Perhaps as more actresses feel obliged to approach zero percent body fat, more of them have jawlines resembling that of a skull. And gaming follows accordingly.
  23. Half-Life 3

    Well, I was trying to give Rodi a heart attack, but this'll do.
