Geez, the unknown and seemingly lost in time PC games. Superfrogs and buff dudes who look like they are in Link to the Past.

I don't know, I run 8.1 and I really like it. I had 8 for a second and didn't know how to get to anything, but 8.1 is great once you get used to it. I prefer also right clicking on the start button to get a menu of all of the important stuff. Also I prefer the metro screen to get to all of my applications and I really don't need the start menu back. Why are they doing this? Start menu was shit unless you had quick launch icons (which I have in 8.1, since I have needed 'em since XP). Like who wants to click start, hover a menu option for half a second, go to another menu, hover, click the program, and then wait? And if you wanted to drag and drop a shortcut to another submenu it was absolutely finicky and obnoxious. So with the Metro screen, you pin your stuff that's important and use sometimes and the rest of your applications are one click from there without hovering. Plus the windows key on the keyboard quickly gets you there and if you are already using with a hand on the bottom left of the keyboard and a mouse 100% of the time on the computer, then it's pretty natural. But then again, I still boot to desktop and click my quick launch icons to this day which were disabled by default in Vista and 7, so I might be the one who is insane.

Hosting is like cable bills. They give you some good rate for like 2-3 years and then screw you when it's time to renew. So you have to then threaten them with leaving and if they still can't match it, you then really have to leave and get someone else's promo rate. I'm with Bluehost now, but only because it is cheap. I can't say they are remarkable or anything. Would you be able to make your own site with wysiwyg editors like Micrsoft Frontpage (LONG DEAD!) or Dreamweaver Tegan? I used Dreamweaver for my site because I have no god damn idea what I am doing but it works well enough. Also I've heard Cargo Collective is a great free place to get a portfolio template that a lot of artists have used for portfolio sites (at least 3 years ago). You just have to request to be brought in.

#1 is #8 is It's been a long time since I last heard that one, had to search around for a while. #9 is I like #12, such a nice song, but I don't know what it is.

My best guess is that it is because Enslaved was originally planned as a series of games, or at least just a sequel. Game sales weren't very good and they moved on to the Devil May Cry license to save the company. However, I don't see any box art or titles screens with the ™ after Odyssey to the West so perhaps that is just a typo by whoever put it up on Steam? I don't remember how it appeared in game though.

Oh yeah on Worms, further into the episode I now remember the ninja rope is the reason I quit. I only really liked playing it online at some point despite everyone calling me a Yank, since my friends all got into being cool teens, but everyone seemed to be crazy with these ninja ropes and I never got the hang of it. So I just was not having fun ever because I was just constantly dying and couldn't be bothered to get good at the bad rope physics (which are good if you know how to use it).

Yeah I played the shit out of that demo with my friends until we got the Worms 2 demo. I feel like I almost killed all enthusiasm by the time I could actually pruchase Worms 2. Pretty much lost interest after buying and starting Armageddon. That Smash Brothers decision is bizarre. It's as if the game case and media it's on doesn't instantly give away what the hell it's for.

Best double post in history.

Is this not on PSN? I didn't see it this evening. Also you didn't get a platinum Miffy! Downloadable titles aren't allowed such treasures.

If this is Whole Foods in Austin, don't do it. Fuck ever driving downtown for any shitty paying job.

My wife mostly hated games growing up because her dad bought her a 3DO! ARGH!

Even if he's talking about pirate treasure, he's still got it figured out.

Yeah, it does seem rather tacky, but I won't judge you ultimately.

Damn. I mean it goes to the file name, it just has a blank screen, but thanks Bjorn, I'm gonna join this group and see if anyone can help me. Seems promising.

Hey can anyone help me out with Joystiq Podcast archives? I'm looking for Episodes 65 and up. Since I downloaded the last batch, Joystiq removed all of them from their website. I e-mailed their support and the guy didn't seem to know or care where they went. I think they are just making room for the current podcast. I found a torrent that supposedly had them all, but no one is seeding. So if anyone has all of the Joystiq Podcast files, think you could share them with me?

Can you imagine the chaos if we could all embed whatever mp4s from our hard drive? Insanity!

Huzzah! Also yeah, the Arsenal Gear music is really weird. Even though it's mostly ambient noise it's very memorable and fits the bizarre shit in that area. Plus I remember sneaking around way too much in that section and failing each time.

Is there some OCD reason I will have to buy these Amiibo figures? I really don't want to but if they unlock exclusive content, I guess I am forced.

Hah, well, you could give me the Conker one, since that song isn't the Beardy theme, it's the drunk theme. As long as Horsebag isn't offended.

THEY'D BETTER!

Sounds about right to me, really.

Only the five colors are free, everything else beyond a solid color is on sale for $1-3.

Well I guess it was nice of them to give us themes by giving us NOTHING GOOD. I'm not buying that shit. At least on PS3 I can select from a nice variety of colors. Well, hopefully later there will be promotions for free themes like how sometimes on PSN or XBLA themes are free depending on the game. Maybe it's just me, but I can never be bothered to actually pay for virtual vanity items, but I will use them for sure if I don't have to pay.

10 is 15 is I'm kind of ashamed I remember that one as after spending horrendous amounts of hours 100%ing that game, it finally made me finally realize I shouldn't play Sonic games anymore. 17 is The rest I have no idea whatsoever, but I'm glad I quickly got the ones I knew. EDIT: Ah shit, I just repeated Horse Bag, took too long researching my reply, oh well.
