  1. Summer Steam Sale

    So did people get Arma II? I think it's back on sale. Some Thumby Arma action would be awesome.
  2. It's the gameplay that lends power to the cutscenes, not the other way around. Cutscenes are an effective form of driving a linear narrative, and there's no reason to shy away from them completely as long as there is a strong backing in gameplay, which all of those games do have.
  3. Summer Steam Sale

    I was thinking of getting this. If there are enough thumbs interested in multiplayer for it, I'll definitely get it. I don't know how frustrating me getting slaughtered repeatedly would be for the rest of you though
  4. Summer Steam Sale

    Yes (and only over the net). Up to six players apparently. I only know of it because Tiberius of Ultima Lazarus worked on it. I think he did some of the level design.
  5. Summer Steam Sale

    Sure. I mostly bought it (and Titan Quest) to get another co-op game to play with the brother. I've never played DoW2 or any RTS since Total Annihilation though. Not a genre I prosper in. Also, for Metro 2033 which has been beckoning me for a while and now I have the PC to run it.
  6. Summer Steam Sale

    Goddamnit. I did my best not to buy anything but ended up getting the THQ complete pack
  7. Summer Steam Sale

    Nah, man, Colonization came out three years later than Civilization. I loved that game, although like Civ I was never good at it. The new one has some problems that take the fun out of it
  8. But Sundays are for zombie slaughter and C4
  9. Life

    I skip over the pain and gloom posts.
  10. Monkey Island 2: SE

    Woah. Fine, I'll buy the goddamn thing.
  11. Life

    Kingz, how long had you owned Ada before the new puppy followed you home? Because the new one looks a bit like your older dog. My first thought was the puppy smelled its mother.
  12. Dragon Age

    The kicked my ass. Other were easy. If I ever get the chance to I will do it without hesitation.
  13. Pub, London, this Friday.

    Damn, I can't. Friday's not good for me
  14. Road Trip

    I don't think so. I doubt it. I would've suggested the Grand Canyon and The World's Largest Ball of Twine.
  15. Man, I have such a love-hate relationship with him. Anything he says about movies, I tend to agree with or at least respect. But for some reason he insists on taking a stand regarding something he just doesn't understand. Why do that? I guess he just doesn't see what a fool it makes him look like for most everyone younger than 30.
  16. Driver: San Francisco

    Driver had a pretty revolutionary movie recording mode, I remember that. I didn't spend all that much time with it, but most was fiddling around with the clip recording stuff.
  17. Couriers are fucking shit

    That's atrocious. What the hell are they doing to the packages? I hope you get everything in working order. By Sunday.
  18. Life

    That's great, gdf! You were wasting time hoping for self-catered accommodation, you could have just presumed self-catering
  19. The Witcher 2

    Man... "dark fantasy" everything is dark and miserable, people live in filth and destitution, and every woman has two pounds of silicone threatening to topple them over at any moment.
  20. Team17 hasn't put out anything really worthwhile in a long, long time. Only rehashes of their old franchises that fail to capture the magic and stuff like this.
  21. XCOM returns

    It's more interesting that more goddamn grey people with anime eyes.
  22. Puzzle Bots

    I think you both fell into his trap.
