Oblivion? More like Fallout with guns.

Chris's music for Spacebase is perfect, it can really blend into the background but still be present as music like this should.

I like it too. It's quite relaxing

I missed it on purpose

Good point. Not even the Duke took off his shirt.

What a horrible addition to steam

So I've played all prototypes today. Autonomous Awesome experience, it took me a while to figure out how the head programming worked. I never messed around with the sliders, it didn't feel like it made a lot of difference in the prototype. Figuring out what all the different parts could do was nice. The controls to create/program the bots was quite clunky. The whole environment, sounds, special effects, etc. is awesome. Spacebase DF9 First off all, the music is absolutely awesome. Building the base is fun, I've been messing with this game for hours, probably 50% of the time I spend playing AF games was spend on this game. A lot of the game logic is still unknown for me, there are probably a lot of bugs in the AI. But its fun to play none the less. Hack 'n Slash Quite a few game breaking bugs in this game. I got up to the point where I shouldn't have entered the princess's room, but I didn't at that time, and then I couldn't enter it anymore. So I had to replay it from the beginning, didn't feel like doing that. If the "hacking" that I did in the game is the final form of hacking, than I'm rather disappointed in the game. I did some hacking myself on the game files (was probably not supposed to do that). White Birch Played it for a bit, managed to get past the first "puzzle" despite its many bugs. When I failed at the second puzzle I was put back to the place before the first "puzzle". And that's where I gave up. This game really feels like a console game as the controls are almost impossible with mouse and keyboard. Black Lake It looks great, but that's about it. The part of the game I played was very boring and linear, no real exploring going on. And then I reached a point where I had to do something with music, but I couldn't figure out what. Nothing was happening, maybe a bug. Anyway, this game as me convinced the least. So, from all the prototypes Autonomous is the most polished, and I spend most of my time messing around in Spacebase DF9. I would buy these games instantly, Hack 'n Slash probably not. White Birch, probably. Black Lake really needs to re-convince me. Either way, it's absolutely amazing what all teams produced in just 2 weeks.

I just realized something, and it made me sad. After watching most of the daily reports (I have some backlog) I'm really excited for Spacebase and Autonomous. And I think they do have a good shot to become actual games. But here's the sad part,... it'll take a year or two before it will be out. This sadness will only become worse when the prototypes get released :/ Of all the games I think the hacking game has the least chance to become an actual game, especially in its current concept. Having the game crash due to your own actions as part of the game isn't going to be accepted. Despite how awesome the concept is (to me).

King of Monsters the Movie?

I just got notice that GOG.com xmas sale is going to start. Besides major discounts they are giving away Duke 3D for free in the next ~48 hours: http://www.gog.com/

wow.. must be a true fan to dedicate such a large part of your body

One of my collegues in India was putting on his coat today when he was about to leave the office, it was cold outside... Funny guy, really... It's 23:00 in India right now and 25 degrees celcius. That's sort of "normal" for a summer day in the Netherland... not at night. Oh right, I'm in India this week.

Me too (well, often, not all the time), especially for work related stuff. I think it makes me a better software developer. Most of my colleagues don't understand it, not even when I explain it. They just complain that I'm being negative and that nothing is good.

I tried f.lux ... maybe it's irony, but my netbook screen was switching between teal and orange tints every few seconds.

I submitted the same one as Ben

or use a pencil

(pardon the kerning)

(And The Passage hates you.)

I really voiced my opinion about the cover

Those russian traffic videos can be categorized in: - carelessness driving (including pedestrians) - failing infrastructure (manhole covers, car maintenance, etc.) - random tree attacks

On the subject of books for graphics programmers, I think "GPU Gems" is sort of a must read. I'm not a graphics programmer, but this book usually pops up on shelves of graphics programmers.

Needs more massive online MMORPG game elements.

So... in Halo 5 she will also get nipples and boob physics? (Or does she already have boob physics?)
