Hah! Played this through a few weeks ago and didn't have much to add. I think this is the first game I've wanted to play through again with commentary. I tried to get some custom levels in place today, on a Mac, and jesus was it a fuck around. Found I had to use a console command to open them, and no matter what key I reassigned it to, it wouldn't open the console. Still, a small disappointment compared to the game. It made me laugh all the way through, and I loved going through . I even grew to like Steven Merchant in it, despite him usually grating on me. The last bit didn't seem as challenging as it was in the first, but it's beautifully done.

I had a lot of trouble with this game at first. The first Argus kept killing me over and over, and it took a while for me to get how the movement and cover work together. I was trying to play it like Gears of War, but the massive one hit kill beam sometimes goes through cover, and sometimes doesn't. Then I tried boosting around like a nutter and kept getting killed quickly. Balancing the two took a while, but I've progressed to flanking enemies with boosts then getting kills pretty quickly. It's gone from hating this to just now finding myself grinning while shouting "In your pointless fucking face!" at the fragments of one of the big robots that can boost Edit: It also has

Hold on... if someone wanted to be a complete bellend, that would be okay by Valve as long as they paid them a hundred dollars?

That's pretty funny. I'd like to see an attempt at designing it that doesn't just make it into another system that can be gamed. I suspect that would be impossible.

Just throw a devil horn gesture and say "Hail Xenu!"

Those are probably long range rockets going off at that speed and angle. Probably shooting at something over the horizon, and no engagement close by. I very, very much doubt anyone could get away with firing any kind of rocket for the sake of a youtube video, let along a couple that big.

Well this is a story, all about how... Z6KNjZmRLrY It gets super-absurd just after 10 seconds.

I despised dupstep until I tried dancing to it, then it suddenly made sense. Edit: Your brother is correct. Much as I like Basement Jaxx, that's just borrowing things from dubstep and making them much gentler. It tends to have much harsher percussion and more complex basslines: CoIZ3jWoGPA uCHptTnXKUM ha6pdeOUin8

Totally in favour of this too

I've never made any tags directed at you Tanu. While Patters expressed it badly, he has a valid point about you overusing ellipses and it making your posts hard to read. I was trying to express it in a kinder way.

I met at least one company between 2007 and now that offered middleware for taking menu systems built in flash then recompiling them for the front end of a game. While some middleware doesn't necessarily make sense over something built in house, something like that really could streamline your UI process a lot. Just eliminating that one interaction between an artist and the programming team counts for a lot.

I don't think I've made any really bitchy tags. I mostly forget they're there, then find them pretty funny when I remember about them, but I've not checked or added any recently. Tanu, I will try to be less of an ass to you in my posts. Your frequent use of ellipses can make your posts hard to read, and using them is a habit I once fell into myself.

Pretty sure the answer to that will be "YES!". We could host a lot of jammers

This for me too. Because I donated to the yes campaign, I did get one phone call from someone who was evidently very young and naive. The smugness of the no camp crowing "democracy has spoken" and "12 million people can't be wrong" is making me quite sick; their inability and unwillingness to debate or engage with the mechanics of voting systems is astounding. The yes campaign was also really bad. There were some very clear and unequivocal arguments in favour of AV, but they chose to go for propagandistic claims and celebrities, just like the no lot. Except Yes to AV weren't anywhere near as good at it. So, we are stuck on a dual party voting system with multiple parties and independents fragmenting it, possibly for the rest of our lives. Upside: With the Liberal Democrats utterly ruined at least there are now only two main parties. Joke.

Interesting question, and debatable. Not sure. We think it's very cool to have people prototyping stuff here, and we're planning to offer co-working space (also known as hot-desking to corporate types), as well as rent benches for bigger projects (Members get storage boxes as part of their membership). If anyone is seen to take over the space though, it really corrupts it, ala the Roommate Anti-Pattern. I think having a company based there full time, even a small one, would probably do that. Edit: Just discussed it with one of the other founders, and we think it's a really interesting debate. Verdict so far: If it's for good, no. If it's for a couple of weeks, yes. Basically, we think prototyping stuff in a hackspace, for profit or not, is all good. Running a company inside one is not.

Well, assuming exponential growth, which seems likely, next month.

Soilered.

My bank change card numbers every renewal, which means I'm a tiny bit less worried about online services that store details. Still try to avoid them though..

Ignored. Compressed:

So far, we have about 30 paying members and assorted other people that come to events and the open nights every week. What we've found is that whatever space we go into, it limits expansion to a degree. We started by just doing events in the pub a year ago, then moved into a store room with access to a shared event space, then got our own workshop and teaching rooms. At each step we found the group would only expand so far before stalling. Now we have 4275 square feet

Obama humiliating Donald Trump while also putting the birthers down is priceless: k8TwRmX6zs4

I can see why they would: Hanging around in a morgue, or a grave, the body is both a target and an icon. They just wanted rid of it as soon as possible, and to avert any kind of glorification they could.

We just moved Nottingham Hackspace from two small rooms to a bunch of absolutely huge ones. It's so big we can ride bikes around it. We've got a lot of work to do to get the space exactly how we want it, and with the workshop facilities from the last place we're only using about a quarter of what we've got to expand into now. It's really fucking exciting

Fixed.
