  1. Tomb Raider

    Well, the game can still have that Die Hard quality even if it's not intended. But it's another example of how so many gamers and developers are just very lost.

  3. Neal Stephenson's CLANG

    No, this is in the correct subforum. Neal Stephenson is making a game about swordfighting. He's kickstarted it, and this whole thing is nuts. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/260688528/clang?ref=live

    You can still limit the characters strength and speed. When the player moves the controller, that's the position the character will try to move his hand to, as fast as the character can. If something gets in the way, he won't be able to go all the way. At that point the character is probably in a vulnerable position and the player should react. There's no problem as such if the controller is able to track movement well enough to maintain "absolute" position.
  5. Unreal Engine 4

    From what I hear, UE4 should definitely be more accessible than previous versions.
  6. Excerpts from the Dwarf Fortress wiki for adventure mode:
  7. Movie/TV recommendations

    I just saw the Ghost Rider sequel. I went in expecting a dumb, boring action movie with hopefully some good Nicolas Cage moments (like the first Ghost Rider), but if you are able to enjoy schlocky action at all it's very entertaining. It's one of the better action movies I've seen in quite a while. It doesn't take itself seriously, the script is actually quite fun and it's pretty well directed. The cinematography is not standard dull Hollywood action, but actually has some inventive shots. The CGI and animation is fun too, surprisingly considering that it wasn't great in the first film. It has a shot of Ghost Rider pissing fire. It's not tied to any action scene or anything, it's just there for shits and giggles it seems. Then they refer to it and show it again later. The biggest criticism I have for the film is that the female lead is just pointless and boring, but there's no romantic sub-plot, thank God. Oh, and Idris Elba is made to speak with a dumb accent, which is too bad considering how awesome his actual accent is. But it's a really fun film, and not even in a so bad it's good way, but in a silly but good fantasy action movie with a light touch way.

    I haven't seen the movie, but that doesn't seem like a problem to me. I'm guessing they're not actually speaking American English in Asgard. On the other hand, when he is actually speaking English, shitty Middle English is the only English he knows. Although having seen The Avengers I don't remember any similarities with Middle English at all. Closer to 19th century.
  9. Two Guys from Andromeda (Space Quest) Reunion

    Sure, but they won't have any money for it.
  10. Neal Stephenson's CLANG

    It's the Razer Hydra controller (probably), it's mentioned in the FAQ.
  11. Home: "A Unique Horror Adventure"

    Did you play the new version he made specifically for you, which allows windowed mode?
  12. Movie/TV recommendations

    I'm thinking the studio demanded it. He's been downplaying any relation to Alien in interviews.
  13. The threat of Watch Dogs

    I'm just tired of getting hyped up about games that may end up very different to original expectations.
  14. Movie/TV recommendations

    That's how old guys look in the future.
  15. The threat of Watch Dogs

    A GTA-like where mass murder is purely optional (but possible) much like sneaky vs. shooty in DX would be brilliant! I don't know if this is it, though that's likely because I can't be bothered to watch the videos. We'll know at release.
  16. Idle IPv6

    Seems faster for me. Dunno why, could be a fluke.
  17. Gifts - Stuff for Free

    Well, here's one: HIPTR-A3ZG3-CPFN5
  18. The threat of Big Dog

    I can't watch that. Jesus Christ.
  19. Life

    I found a place for him: He can sleep under the table when they're not recording. Or whenever if he's quiet. Congratulations, shammack, that's wonderful.
  20. Game of Thrones (TV show)

    Hey, thanks for revealing what happens next season
  21. Game of Thrones (TV show)

    So, regarding GoT: I liked the bit with the vault.
  22. Life

    I wasn't arguing against the vast amount of atheists, was I? I am one, for Brahma's sake.
  23. We are playing Arma in about an hour, right?
  24. Home: "A Unique Horror Adventure"

    So that was pretty interesting, though the end didn't work for me.
  25. Home: "A Unique Horror Adventure"

    What kills me is seeing 'an helicopter' everywhere. I have no idea which is correct, but I know which one sounds stupid.
