    The map indicates everything to get to 200%. So if level is not gold, then there's something there for you.

    I ended up using javascript.

    I can't reproduce the characters on those signs, that's why it's difficult. The easiest spot I had was right in front of a canadian post office that had the name, state and country posted on the first spot. I usually end up looking for road signs or restaurant names. But even with a lot of info, you can still end up in Australia rather than the US

    Asian locations are difficult I just scored this: http://www.geoguessr.com?v=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

    in new game plus you still have to climb to the top, but
  9. Idle Thumbs Shirts

    my Idle Tees are starting to get worn out, so I need new ones
  10. An Education (in video games)

    Pff.. That's quite a difficult question. Do you want to teach them pinnacles, or the ground breaking games which are usually more rough. For example, if I wanted to show more of the pinnacle side I would show Super Mario World, but if I would show ground breaking, I'd show Super Mario Bros 3. Not that SMB3 is rough, but I see SMW as a perfection of the SMB3 formula. For example, would you show Dune 2, or Supreme Commander? SimCity, or SimCity 2000? Anyway, games I would consider include: Day of the Tentacle, because it's an excellent of point and click adventures. Titan Quest (instead of Diablo 2 I think) as a top down action RPG. Supreme Commander is a good example of small to large scale realtime strategy games. It was way more focus on strategy than the more arcade like C&C games. Settlers 2 (the remake) and a prime example of ... erm, what's that category? The remake it pretty much the original with better tech, but still the same gameplay. There's a lot of focus on resource management, but also change environments and hostility you have to account for. Unreal so show FPS games before they changed into what we currently call FPS games. Unreal is still fast paced, has large open levels (i.e. not a linear path) and it great to look at. Rogue Spear as an example of tactical FPS game as contrast to the action oriented FPS games. Deus Ex: Human Revolution. It's modern, but still very much like the the System Shock/Deus Ex formula. It's maybe a bit more accessible than the others. Prince of Persia Sands of Time. I think this is a good example of what platform games have evolved to. And SMW to show what it was before. Legend of Grimrock the dungeon crawler genre. If there is ever a HD remake of Stonekeep I would show that one. Hmm... there's simply way too much. I'm not even halfway through.

  12. Double Fine is closing :(

    Great bundle. Except that I own everything at least once.
  13. I need help identifying a game

    Was this the wall: http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/teenagent/screenshots/gameShotId,582496/
  14. I Had A Random Thought...

    No, it's because from that angle they can still see the TV
  15. I Had A Random Thought...

    No kidding. A while ago I saw a double rainbow, all the way. It didn't know what it meant, so I googled it...
  16. Double Fine is closing :(

    great video Who's that $1,000,000 guy?
  17. I need help identifying a game

    Sounds a bit like Realms of the Hauting, but I guess that's not it.
  18. I just realized that English is a foreign language. Back in the day not a lot of games were localized in Dutch, so there was no other way then to play the game in English (and have an English manual).
  19. Using modern technology to help you with games.

    You can also use the brower in steam's overlay to look things up. You know what would be great, if the Steam overlay had a notes feature that would allow you to make per-game notes. Also allow you to create and annotate a screenshot. This way I wouldn't need to resort to paper or boogie board,

    I listened to it yesterday while putting my prints of DFA and Plain Sight on the wall.

    Chocolate on bananas? That's bananas! The only thing you can add to bananas is herring.
  22. I Had A Random Thought...

    Don't agree. I prefer my bananas at room temperature. Apples otoh are better served cold.
  23. Life

    Are you going to include secret passages and stuff? I wish I had the money to make up my own house and let it be built.

    No, I agree. Decoding the whole alphabet sucks, and you only need it once afaik.
