    Alan Moore can bite me, as well as his pal Dave Sim, and every other bloated comics industry persona that writes flowery phrases like, "not unlike." TROLL DONE!

    Ah, Ashley Wood, very nice.
  7. http://www.wcgultimategamer.com/ I don't think any of these people have even played Dr. Mario. Why are they crying? Who is producing this? Nascar? Activision? Honda? Gamer Grub?
  8. ULTIMATE GAMER (only attractive people apply)

    Just like these!
  9. Trouble on Blobolonia

    NO THEY WERE IMITATING A STORYBOOK, GOSH!!!
  10. Trouble on Blobolonia

    You have to collect 25 treasures around the city and underground and use the them to buy special jellybeans. Then you feed a certain one to your blob on the street and rocket away to Blobolonia when you are all stocked and ready. There you have to dodge a bunch of marshmellows and shit on every screen and try not to lose whatever small amount of lives you have left from trying to get all the treasure in the first section of the game. That's about where I left off. I could probably win with an emulator, but it pissed me off so much back then repeatedly trying to beat it, only to be killed in that area, that I just no longer care. The game was just too sensitive and hard to handle, especially if you do something retarded like accidentally turn your blob into a bowling ball and throw him off a cliff, while you are out of the teleport-type jellybeans. Then you have no choice but you kill yourself.
  11. ULTIMATE GAMER (only attractive people apply)

    Not that I gave much thought to that aspect of the show before, since I was too busy retching, but now I'm imagining the ultimate gamer to be a lanky 30 year old Japanese guy who can beat anyone at Puyo Pop in less than 20 seconds. I'm only saying this because Japanese games that are not made by Nintendo tend to be really fucking hard and very good at trying your patience.
  12. Trouble on Blobolonia

    Well character designs aside, they both have soft digitally painted backgrounds with similar brushstrokes and share a lot of the same color palettes if you compare screenshots. I'm not saying this is a bad thing at all, but I would be very surprised if the art team wasn't inspired by Braid.
  13. ULTIMATE GAMER (only attractive people apply)

    That was the problem I was originally having. I had to check if this was seriously being before posting here, just in case I was falling for a prank.
  14. "Dear Blizzard"

    I think what interviewers really want to know is: How big is your cock?

  16. "Dear Blizzard"

    That's the problem though. You may be disqualified by less knowledgeable interviews if you said your worst quality was taking long lunches or something. But apparently it can work for you to be honest if Rusalka is an example to go by.
  17. "Dear Blizzard"

    Why do people even ask, "What's your worst quality?" if everyone is going to answer, "Perfectionist." It's such a stock answer, but I hear it all the time. I've done it plenty of times for jobs that I don't give a shit about, and any career classes I've taken have encouraged the same things. Hell, there was even an intern at my job, and on his first day he had to let the guy overseeing him know that he was a perfectionist three times without even being prompted. I wish we could just retire the, "What's your worst quality?" question. And anyone saying they are a perfectionist too. Besides everyone's worst quality at game companies is using the internet instead of diligently working.

    Jake, what the hell is this? Spamignature?
  19. 50 Cent: Blood On The Sand

    Fiddy didn't get shot 9 times and then sign a major record deal just so you could ignore him.
  20. 50 Cent: Blood On The Sand

    He has a point. You should all download for the laughs. Or rent. Or wait for someone to put videos of them playing all over Youtube.
  21. Dragon Lair 2

    Burton didn't invent distorted cartoon landscapes at all, and that screengrab is not gothic, nor really that creepy. I'm guessing that's a Steve Purcell background, although it's hard to tell without seeing the original scan as the pixels obscure the original stroke quality. I'm pretty sure there are little to no influences from Tim Burton's underdeveloped scribblings in his paintings and comics.
  22. Dragon Lair 2

    Please don't call it "Burtonesque."
  23. Dragon Lair 2

    I actually am still in shock about how ugly EMI was. What was wrong with LucasArts? Why did their craftsmanship go down the toilet (After Grim Fandango I mean)?
  24. Dragon Lair 2

    I'm bewildered there's someone in the Idle Thumbs forum that doesn't know about Dragon's Lair. Dragon's Lair 1, 2, and Space Ace can be found in many arcades still rotting in their original cabinets. They must have all been repackaged for nearly every system. The amount of times they have been reported and said to have "new graphics and sequences" and to be "just like the original" on the PC or DVD is probably in the dozens now. I think these three Don Bluth games might be the kings of shovelware. Isn't the original "game" the one that basically created quick time events? Here's said game: You can also buy a recording of someone playing said game and control their recording by completing the correct quicktime events! I'm not trying to be a cranky forum member, nor am I a Don Bluth fan, but if this is a joke, I guess I'm the butt. Anyways, Dragon's Lair 2 is probably the best example of what they were trying to achieve. the "inventory" system they had added a little bit of depth, as well as making it much more clear with what you are supposed to do with the flashing objects and ledges. It was probably the least buggy and best timed out of all of Don Bluth Laserdisc series.
