Maybe he had only played Gravity Bone. I was forced to replay the first act of Gravity Bone several times because my graphics card drivers and the game were not willing to co-operate. That did not really bother me because practically everything about the opening - the visual style, the setting, the sounds of the crowd, and so on - was perfect. I remember hoping that someone (preferably Blendo) would eventually make a longer* game based on that first act of Gravity Bone. Judging by Jake's description Jazzpunk isn't that, but it seems interesting enough for me to pick it up eventually. * I usually prefer shorter games, but Gravity Bone was really really short.

Those paintings look great. Again, excellent job you all! Please post pictures of the Campo Santo office once you have hung all the paintings. And when you move to a bigger office and everyone gets his own room, please make sure that everyone has a "wrong" painting on the wall behind him.

Haha, yeah. The first sentence in my previous post was actually a reference to people constantly praising Stoner. Anyway, I picked it up after I finished reading Pnin. I'm not completely sucked in it yet, but it seems good.

Can't wait for the stuff to arrive and for their heads to explode. Nick's hysterical laugh would be good too.

I knew about the croc because of Remo's stream and avoided it by jumping. I also had the ankh with me so I would have been ok in any case.

Chris already knows about this: http://www.twitch.tv/chrisremo/b/501905407 I'd love to see them constantly whipping sacrificing rescuing each other in the daily challenges, though.

WOW! Amazing work once again, Blambo! Have you send that to Chris yet? Edit: Apparently so, cool stream! The Double Fine guys seem really sweet. One would have to completely insane to leave them for the dicks at Campo Santo. Kidding! Except for the Double Fine guys being cool. And Campo Santo guys being dicks. Kidding!

That book about a university professor that people keep recommending? It's pretty great: occasionally hilarious, often sad, but always beautiful. There is something fascinating about a novel on a Russian professor living in the Unites States and constantly struggling with his English written by a Russian emigrant who has mastered the language like perhaps no one else ever. The novel is full of passages like this: "The accumulation of consecutive rooms in his memory now resembled those displays of grouped elbow chairs on show, and beds, and lamps, and inglebooks which, ignoring all space-time distinctions, commingle in the soft light of a furniture store beyond which it snows, and the dusk deepens, and nobody really loves anybody." The novel does convey exceptionally well the fish out of water feeling (Nabokov would really deserve less worn-out idioms than this) of living in foreign surroundings and having to communicate in a language that you are not completely comfortable with. I was delighted by the transformation from a comical and clumsy professor to a knowledgeable croquet master that Pnin underwent when he was in the company of his Russian peers. At the same time, the novel is also a sad reminder that I will probably never be fluent enough in English to enjoy Nabokov’s writing to its full extent. Perhaps not as "perfect" as Lolita but definitely less harrowing, Vladimir Nabokov's Pnin is worth checking out, especially if the subject matter of his most famous novel has kept you from reading Nabokov until now. Incidentally, listening to Lolita - narrated by Jeremy Irons - while playing SimCity (2013) was easily the most bizarre literary experience I have ever had. By the end, I couldn't help but think that among my citizens, who keep dutifully cheering at every extension to my mansion and forget all about their sadness the minute the waves of pleasure caused by the construction of a new park in their neighborhood reached them, there might roam a Humbert Humbert-esque rationalizing monster and that there was nothing I could do about it despite being an all-powerful city building god. By the way, now that I have finished Pnin, Goodreads recommends me to check out John Edward Williams' Stoner. Has anyone read it? Is it any good?

Hahaha... That Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters discussion was fantastic! Congrats Nick! :tup:

God damn, Congrats Nick strikes again! I hope you can somehow squeeze the password out of him and start streaming again soon.

My usual hangover breakfast is a lunch of spaghetti with whatever else I happen to have in the fridge, which is typically ketchup and Tabasco. EDIT: forgot to mention that you should drink water before going to bed.

Fuck! Well, that sucks. He was fantastic in The Master (among other things). Incidentally, I was just watching Boogie Nights when I heard the news.

That thing is just marvelous. It's amazing how long it took for logo designers to realize that '4' looks exactly like the letter e.

Thanks for organizing this subbes! You're awesome!

Just listening to the latest podcast. Haha.. Hooooly shit! Also, awesome Nick, Blambo!

:tup: To Sean dunking on Obama! Fantastic card!

Yeah, Dirty Three is absolutely fantastic! Here's another video with Chan Marshall singing about horrible things in a beautiful voice.

Let's turn the caps lock off, at least.

Steve Gaynor has a thing for cyberpunk: http://rekall.tumblr.com/

It's about time someone put an end to the reign of terror of the Spider of the Top Left Corner of the Screen.

I really don't pay attention to previews one way or the other. I only linked it because it said positive things about the game like Frentic Pony was asking for. I haven't followed the progress of this game very closely, but I was of course hoping it would end up being good. Shame if that is not going to happen. Oh well, the game and the reviews will be out soon enough. Has Dishonored 2 been confirmed yet?

I think it is just an oversight by the author, though I'm sure hardcore Tolkien fans are somehow able to rationalize past it. (also none of that is actually true)
