  1. Just saw Leon: The Professional

    I stole this movie in Kerry when I was 18. Excellent.
  2. Nintendo, I love you.

    excellent.
  3. New Zelda details

    I always thought that'd be a good addition to zelda game. cool.
  4. "in the mould of Doom - but without the gore"

    I hate that saying 'judge not lest ye be judged'. It seems to me that it was written by someone who doesn't want you to make up your own mind. Critical faculties? A terrible thing indeed. My point would be that the ponderous edifice of religion was created in the first place to control people, not encourage them to be kinder. The fall of the Roman Empire? Never happened. They just added 'Holy' to the name.
  5. Video games sales chart

    bastards. My little nephew, my little cousin, their little friend, my ~40 year old uncle... they all like it but don't know who the fuck it is. They'll learn.
  6. Video games sales chart

    nah, I don't think so. That's only 1 week's worth of sales at the end of april, I think.
  7. Willy Wanka & The Chocolate Factory

    is there a parody called 'chocolate and the charlie factory'? There should be.
  8. Video games sales chart

    no, but I know a man who could help you - bumkum - teehee
  9. Spore presentation from GDC now available!

    more like katamari, methinks
  10. Spore presentation from GDC now available!

    It can, but nobody in the game industry seems to be interested in doing it. Lots of stuff about it here and here
  11. "in the mould of Doom - but without the gore"

    you could make some seriously violent games from it.
  12. Gamer's Manifesto

    If some of you don't check out grumpygamer, then you also may have missed Tim Schafer's blog at double fine, along with a plethora of action comics, which was updated today, even though the thumb finger didn't notice it.
  13. Jobs suck...

    I started on monday. No more no getting up before noon free coffee all day no playing games all day Lots of money it's sunny outside and I'm stuck at my desk I can afford those new rims ...I could do this all night but I have to get up for work tommorrow
  14. Gamer's Manifesto

    yeah well you probably should. Look at this shit That Is Linked To On GrumpyGamer Today.
  15. Yes or No?

    vote no. I haven't looked into to it much, but you could be voting for software patents, or paving the way a bit more. Along with lots of other pointless crap. Human rights issues are not part of the discussion. All countries should uphold them anyway.
  16. Gamer's Manifesto

    oh, you found it, eh? Coincidental that Ron found it on exactly the same day. :ponycrap:
  17. Spore

    mermmm welll B&W didn't really go far enough with it. There was basically a linear path through the game with a bit of freedom in how you messed with the pre-defined creature behaviours. More smoke and mirrors than what Spore seems to be shaping up to. The gameplay in spore will probably be more tried and proven alright, because Wright's games always seem to play smoothly, but I'm not expecting a standard RTS interface at all.
  18. Hapland

    also, MindWinder!!! it's fucking cool. This guy will be snapped up by some clever dev studio pretty quick.
  19. Hapland

    I found it while browsing deviantart and posted here the day he put it up, so that's probably why that happened. The sequel is really good. It seems it's a bit uncool to play it cause lots of l33t-speaking uber deviant younglings are into it, but frankly, my plentbouy linfistains don't really flan that way.
  20. Boycott Star Wars III

    yes. everything makes sense now.
  21. Indiana Jones - new in gaming (!)

    christ. it's like sky news or something. Where it's "uncool" to know the facts.
  22. Banned!

    Rockstar just released tentative websites for two upcoming games, called 'The Warriors' and 'Bully'. It looks like they're trying to incite the amer|can fam|ly assoc|ation or whatever to go all out and ban all computer games. Incitement to anarchy and bullying, respectively. Won't go down that well, I'd say. I'm looking forward to them, though.
  23. just because

    I couldn't put it in the hate thread, and it's not really a spoiler, but a package arrived today for me that, well, I couldn't not post about here. At fucking last. Raz is thinking 'mmmm, bacon!' sweet.
  24. just because

    dammit I have to get up early tommorow. I could play that game all night. hmm. I could stay up all night. I've done that before. no no, it's always a big mistake.
  25. Jobs suck...

    full control. I'm just finished too, and it looks like I'll be starting my carreer doing this proof of concept/simulation/hardware design thing malarkey. I second the ambivalence about working for some big game studio. You could always work on some indie project. Maybe it could appear on the revolution.
