  1. She's not said anything about it on Twitter, apart from (it seems) this in reference to a now deleted 4chan thread on the thing about her being upset over TLOU DLC: https://twitter.com/amy_hennig/status/441259959875928064
  2. Most disgusting thing you've ever done

    Thread resurrection has reminded me of some more quality gross stuff: I used to live with a labrador. One summer day while I was on the phone to a client, with no warning, she threw up two enormous puddles of liquefied fox shit. It's the worst thing I've ever smelled, worse than dead things. There was like, three square metres of it. Thank fuck for wooden floors. I'm not very squeamish, but got off the phone while struggling to not puke myself. -- A friend I had as a kid had a very disgusting younger brother, and a slightly sadistic teenage sister. She made it her mission to basically ruin whatever we were doing together by hanging around being as disruptive as possible. Their mum was of the mind that "everyone should be included" and thought we were just making things up about her (to be fair, we were little shits too). One time, we were going on a bike ride, and on finding out we were about to leave she furiously dug her bike out of the garage. She then rushed back into the house to get something, and in the minute or so she was gone, we'd convinced their littler brother to pee all over the handlebars and seat of her bike. We heard her screaming his name as we rode away.
  3. The threat of Big Dog

    This is astonishingly close to a thing that happened in Nathan Barley.

    Shammack, Subbes, thinking of you both today. I hope Cabot has a good last day.
  5. They're really big on signing for the deaf, so translated a lot of their books into sign language videos. That chapter was named "Winning the Battle Against Masturbation".
  6. We covered the JW sign language anti-wanking thing before. 50 Cent fits surprisingly well over it.

    When he's coloured with rainbow stripes, the cult leader of Heaven's Gate looks remarkably like a certain games-related emotional handwaver:
  8. Where to Find Game Assets (Audio/Textures/Models/Etc)

    There's a bunch of music for use (with credit) at http://incompetech.com/
  9. What does your view look like?

    Do you think the giant wicker penis in the garden means anything?
  10. Spelunky!

    Ah, my mistake, must have been a crate. I sometimes see people drawing attention to dailies on Twitter, but it's a bit random.
  11. What does your view look like?

    Ok, I finally got out on foot during daylight. Here's the view from the end of my road this morning: and down the road: and a couple of the tops, where my landlady keeps some sheep:
  12. Unnecessary Comical Picture Thread

    :0 I will never read all of that, but feel intensely glad it exists.
  13. Spelunky!

    Congrats Bjorn. It's been in the mines on a couple of Vita dailies in the past few months. Once crated in a snake pit, and once in a vase I think.

    Sophie Houlden wrote an excellent tiny essay on this sort of AI behaviour the other day: http://pastebin.com/0YYk7VS2 The crux of it is that once, it was a sophisticated way for a game AI to behave, but now, it's a convention by which the AI announces "I HAVE DETECTED YOUR PRESENCE AND NOW I AM TRYING TO FIND YOU".
  15. The Dancing Thumb (aka: music recommendations)

    How had I never heard Bloc Party before now? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_I-3fjegAo

    Subbes, Shammack, I'm so sorry :(

    I still feel too weird to talk much on them, because I feel like anything I can say is utterly mundane and the tiny audience (if any) it'll get it people who are much better than me at Spelunky. The mic is great for catching "Oh fuck no fuck fuck" reactions though.

    Oh bugger. Sorry Anyway, fuck your ex-tutor he sounds like a douche.
  19. Life

    Classy! He sounds like a truly pathetic man. I bet it's just as difficult to get fired from a university job in the Netherlands as it is in the UK.

  21. Next Car Game

    I played the free tech demo at a friend's place, and the damage model is hilarious. I turned the car into a ball of metal with one functional wheel by driving it off things then feeding it into various mashing devices.

    That totally sucks subbes. Sorry to hear it. I recently saw a games journalist commenting on a post about games industry sexism on facebook, saying he didn't believe there was an industry wide problem and it was just isolated cases. Later, he argued that statements about it were "just too vague". The thread went on for hundreds of comments, many giving very specific examples. I cannot believe how stubborn some men in this industry are when it comes to seeing the problem.
  23. Baby Animal Gif Emergency Rations

    Not a gif but daaw: It's the milk running off it's face that makes it especially pitiful.
