  1. Steam Summer Sale 2012

    Payday could be good, but it's not. It's a bad shooter where you murder about a thousand police officers for a bit of money in each map.

  3. A new Kickstarter by Pendulo Studios

    Probably. This is John Walker's take on Pendulo:
  4. Crusader K+ngs II

    It's funny, at first I felt just as overwhelmed as with other Paradox games, but something just clicked surprisingly quickly. It's not all that complicated, at least not the way I play it. I've done almost nothing in regards to tech, for example, since it seems to develop so slowly and not play into things in a huge way.
  5. Gaming headphones

    Huh, my HD 555's are open. And light. I'd love something like HD 598 with a mic attached.
  6. Gaming headphones

    Hmm, those look very good and my HD 555s are held together with tape because I've been mean to them...
  7. Crusader K+ngs II

    I've honestly had Victoria II for some time and I never realized it was Paradox because I haven't installed it.
  8. Hitman: Absolution

    Looks good, but... the nuns, oh, the nuns.
  9. Steam Summer Sale 2012

    Oooooo.... I hadn't even considered playing it multiplayer. I'm not even sure how that would work. Would make a long game.
  10. Ouya: Ooooh Yeah!

    It's at 4 million now.
  11. Worst Kickstarter Ever

    Do one better and steal their wallet.
  12. I want to start paying for music

    If there's something specific you're looking for and it's not from a big name artist, their publisher might have a store. For instance, I've bought a ton of Autechre from Bleep (https://bleep.com/), who offer both mp3 and wav.
  13. Crusader K+ngs II

    I love this game. I've bought several Paradox games but they are too much for me. This one is just golden. Worrying about actual(ish) personalities and titles and such is so very different from just economy + conquest. That that I'm not doing conquest when I feel like I have the chops for it. Right now I'm Hugh the Kind, King of Scotland and now Denmark as well.
  14. I want to start paying for music

    Amazon doesn't have DRM for music.
  15. The Walking Dead

    Yeah, that bit had me looking for other solutions, but there weren't any.
  16. Ouya: Ooooh Yeah!

    Oh hey, guys, if you have a thousand Android phones and you want to play a game on each of them, do you need to buy it separately or is there a single account that holds all the games?
  17. Ouya: Ooooh Yeah!

    Huh. My first thought was that this was silly and you can't come up with a console with a couple of million dollars. But apparently it's just for initial production and such... What I wonder about is how can it be that cheap when Android phones are so expensive? The phones don't need mechanical controllers and such either. Apart from that it seems enormously clever and if I had the drive to actually make games like I've wanted to have (but don't), I'd be thrilled to develop for this along with Android phones. It seems like porting an Android game for this would only require a developer to port the controls, which would be smart anyway for the PC market. Oh, and regarding them name-dropping SC and LoL, they way you can watch them on Twitch.tv, not play them.
  18. The Walking Dead

    I feel the same. That stuff was just going to rot there.
  19. Aww, I'm sure Flux means well
  20. Homophobic?

    If you find something non-sexual, it'll almost certainly be either racist or trivializing violence. Go with "Stop being mean to me!".
  21. Feminism

    That's pretty bad regarding the story about our finance minister, but there's a deeper, more depressing side to it. Back when she rose to the head of her party, she just looked like a school teacher that went into politics (which is what she is, although us school teachers are highly educated over here). On the national stage, she got blamed of looking stiff etc. until she got that fancy hair do and changed how she dresses (not like that, though). Then a few people called her a tart, but mostly things calmed down.
  22. Life

    He looks like a Jedi Master.
  23. If only they had the money to hire that artist, they could model every hair follicle.
  24. You mean that GUI you posted? Because it's really garish and amateurish. Also, it doesn't matter whether they have an artist or not, there's something wrong when they thought those images wereokay to publish.
  25. Us and the Game Industry Kickstarter

    If you played through Paypal you might be able to get your money back.
