  1. Had to be done. Things were getting out of control. Oo, you got the guy who did the totally fantastic music for Gibbage to do totally fantastic music for this! I just wish there was more ambient music, it's pretty quiet most of the time. And the cartoony Gibbagey graphics are back too, yay! The game has been really funny so far, but I'm not too far yet. I'll report more later.
  2. Oo, I'll definitely download that. I loved Gibbage (bought it as well). I'd really love a sequel which would be friendly to the HDTV I have as a secondary monitor and my gamepads, but I guess it's good for Dan to do other things.
  3. Oh, that last bit is gold I doubt the Finnish post would even try, just deliver it back to the sender.
  4. Zero Punctuation

    I would buy a shirt with some model in it.
  5. Movie/TV recommendations

    What? What? The film is complete trash once the horror elements kick in. As horror it's utterly unsurprising and not the least bit terrifying, and every interesting theme from the first hour or so gets thrown out the airlock. It's a disgrace.
  6. I don't agree. I'm very happy with the faster pacing. Seasons 2 and 3 had too many episodes, and with no end in sight there was a lot of filler.
  7. Mass Effect

    Yeah, I understand what you're talking about. Interactive dialogue is the only interesting idea I've had for a thesis and you're thinking along the same lines I have been. I won't have to think about it for a couple of years though. I'm playing my little brothers copy and have liked it a lot so far. The combat is not up to action game standards, but it's more fun than the usual RPG fare. I really liked the first bit, and Citadel was nice, although a bit talky, but Noveria was a tad boring. I'll see how things develop. toblix, the game autosaves pretty regularly so don't worry too much about that. Also, if you press space for a while the tactical screen opens up. You can choose which weapons your teammates use there. You have to have one of each type of weapon, but if your character only knows pistols you won't have to get better shotguns etc. for that character, so it doesn't matter.

    No-one likes Haze. There's certainly no reason to expect Yahtzee not to bash it.

    I heard the trains over there are about as reliable as the weather, though.
  10. No it fucking wouldn't. It would be terrible.
  11. time to make some album covers

    It's fine among all these American indie wankery albums
  12. 25 Years of Tom Cruise

    Man he looks old for 25.
  13. Happy Birthday DanJW

    Hey, happy birthday Dan and the rest of you I didn't congratulate for reasons of being a douche
  14. You could ask that guy to mail you some of his shit.
  15. Big Fat Recommendation

    LostWinds is great, though you can't put it on a shelf. It's cheap, short and very sweet.
  16. Beyond Better & Evil!

    Oh man, how didn't I notice that... I've seen that movie a bunch of times.
  17. That Monitor Thread

    That's actually the exact same one I have. I've been happy with it.
  18. That Monitor Thread

    Ack, sorry about that. I mean DVI. You don't want or need a SCART unless maybe if you've got a Wii. Even then component (three separate cables) is a better choice
  19. That Monitor Thread

    You can find HDMI->SCART cords, so you only really need a SCART input, more than one if you want them connected at the same time.
  20. That Monitor Thread

    You probably should be! It'd be better for your posture. http://consumerist.com/tag/false-advertising/?i=374408&t=apple-sued-new-20-imac-screens-display-260k-colors-not-millions I wouldn't get that one.
  21. Penny Arcade Adventures

    I bought it straight away. I think I've played it pretty near to the end now, and it's been really great. Really appeals to my sense of humour and I think they've found real several real, usable ways of improving gameplay like this. They've managed to remove a whole bunch of small annoyances.
  22. 50 Cent: Blood On The Sand

    I think it's "mise en scéne".
  23. Crock Band

    No 100%? Loser.
  24. Movie/TV recommendations

    I saw Coppola's new film, Youth Without Youth. It's very beautiful, the cinematography is great, Tim Roth gives a wonderful performance, as does the female lead I didn't recognize. However, there is not a single minute in that movie that makes any sense. It's completely incomprehensible. Made me want to read the book it's based on -- there has to be something that didn't translate to film.
