Huh, I had to check and you're right. If the Wikipedia page is correct, the format only supports a limited number of resolutions and framerates, which is damn weird. My primarily still camera shoots 60fps progressive video, which is unsupported by Blu-ray. Dang weird. TVs aren't so limited, though, otherwise we wouldn't have games that ran in 60 fps or more.

Shouldn't be any trouble at all. I'm completely certain the Blu-ray format supports at least 60fps. And if you connect your computer to the television, I'm sure that'll show way more than 24fps. Most monitors are around 60hz, it is entirely possible yours is 100hz.

I agree. I'd have preferred HFR in 2D, however.

Heh, I was thinking the opposite: from the complaints I've heard, I was thinking it's the change in shutter speed that's the problem. Keeping it at 1/48 could have helped. But I thought 48 fps was just spiffy, so I don't have a full understanding of what bothered people about it. My mom and dad didn't have any trouble either.

Holy shit. Good to know you're doing well.

One day I'll actually finish my damn thesis and start looking for teaching jobs.

Probably just logistics. Somebody must have liked them, considering that's how they did Far Cry 3 in its entirety.

I think you are weird.

Woah. It never occurred to me things could be done like that. It's really weird to me that you don't choose the places you apply to. Is this within the city you live, or can they decide to send you to somewhere in the north of Saskatchewan?

Huh, so does the Board of Education assign you to a school or something? We apply for teaching positions directly.

So it's a bit like if you took the repeated dying out of Hotline Miami and made it possible to just murder everybody on the first go?

I figured you get feverish from the weirdo plague you have when you get physically hurt.

I don't think so.

Yeah, sleeping heals you. You rarely need medicine unless you fall or are beaten to an inch of your life by the beast, although I've died once from being stuck in the dark and not finding anywhere to sleep. If only the island was closer to my latitude, you could see a lot better in the summer night... Climb a hill. Often you can climb next to the giant heads. Once you find your own position by finding two landmarks you know, you can draw lines to all the unknown landmarks you see. Later, when you're somewhere else, you can do the same thing and if you find the same unknown landmarks, drawing another line to it makes it a known landmark. Eventually mapping the island will seem less impossible as long as you can find vantage points.

You can't make a triangle with only two corners. And yes, there's special medicine you can make later, though it can be tough to find the ingredients.

How come everybody draws Grand Canyon stuff when cool places like this exist as well?

Hi folks! I'm doing a thesis on using foreign language board games as a catalyst for rich language use for language learners. It aims to give reasons for institutions to include more and better board games in language classrooms, for teachers to use them and for textbook makers to invest in good game design if they include board games in their books. My brother owns Paris Connection, which I believe would be a good game to use in a case study, but it's the Scandinavian version. It seems that the only difference is the single page of rules and the back cover of the box. If anyone owns this game, you can further the cause of board gaming in a small way by scanning the rules and the box for me

You could take a map of France, make a hex map out of it, and then over the course of months balance out the distances and points awarded from each city through rigorous analysis and testing. Then you whittle two hundred or so tiny trains, paint them and you're set.

That fucking music. Thank god I sold my Wii ages and ages ago.

I forget whether I already posted in this thread. Crusader Kings II gets the grand prize because it's the first historical strategy game that creates stories like the ones I learned about when studying English history (esp. ~800-1066).

Reading thread titles is too much to expect from me.

EDIT: Wrong thread.

This is such a strange sentiment. Far Cry 2 is one of very few games where every moving part has been carefully chosen to present a very particular experience. I can't relate that expression to Far Cry 2 in any way.

It should eventually leave (and despawn) if it can't see you or find you. You're safe in houses. If you die, you lose all progress since your last save, but that's it. Saving happens when you sleep and also when you light candles, lanterns, campfires and a certain kind of stone statue that has a fireplace you can light if you are carrying something burning. I dunno, they were one of the first Greenlit games and they're on sale in Steam. They've gotten some coverage at least. A lot of people bought Amnesia, although Miasmata doesn't have the kind of viral marketing. Hard to say, it's a unique experience, but I think that's a strength as long as you're not expecting Call of Duty money.
