  1. Recently completed video games

    Saints Row The Third Just finished the main game (still have the DLC to complete). I picked this up during the steam sale. Simply put, I loved it. It's like GTA Vice City / San Andres, but much more ridiculous. All seriousness and realism has been thrown out of the window and they just focused on creating dumb fun. The best part of the game is the amount of variation in missions (including side missions). It doesn't really become tedious.
  2. Odd quotes that stick

    "I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite store on the Citadel!"
  3. Movie/TV recommendations

    ugh. why?! has hollywood really lost all creativity!?
  4. New Forums! Post feedback, notes, etc here

    or give the forums a goldblum favicon
  5. That track is awesome. Somehow it reminds me of the "Fata Morgana" ride in the Dutch theme park "Efteling". Something like this: http://www.youtubemu...ght-morgana.php
  6. And this is what Torchlight 2 will have: See also http://www.torchlight2game.com/news/2011/05/06/music-of-torchlight-ii/
  7. I haven't played Diablo 3, and don't intend to. But after the discussion of the music I simply had to sample it. And I fully agree with Remo. All emotion, mystery, whatever is lost in the music. Torchlight 2's music sounds absolutely awesome. Diablo 1+2's Tristram Music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obsFxm4fj7g Diablo 3's bastard child: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xm0_9U4CdsA
  8. just so you know. The MP3's album title meta data still says "Idle Thumbs Postcast" and not "Idle Thumbs"
  9. Thirty Flights of Loving

    My jetpack didn't work
  10. Odd quotes that stick

    "You know what might look better on your nose? The bar!" - Ben, Full Throttle "Yes a mysterious shape, a sinister shape a shape fraught with...Shapeness. It must be a plot element otherwise there'd be a better label!" - Rincewind, Discworld http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5a_6v8HM9cA&feature=player_detailpage#t=434s (copy paste it because time offsets are not supported)
  11. Steam Summer Sale 2012

    So Steam closed its doors? Or is there some awesome discount going on? I haven't been able to reach the storefront for almost an hour
  12. Rockstar's L.A. Noire

    And you've only just started.
  13. Movie/TV recommendations

    there's a new batman movie?
  14. Movie/TV recommendations

    Wasn't D&D2 already bad enough?
  15. This wouldn't fall in the category SFW
  16. Steam Summer Sale 2012

    Been playing it this whole weekend. It's like GTA Vice City and San Andreas. I think it's fun. Bought the DLC because it was also cheap. Note that those non-game DLC contains some cheating stuff, like a tank and a vtol. So it's a bit cheating by buying them.
  17. Steam Summer Sale 2012

    I haven't had much issues with GFWL. Well, except that it's quite slow logging in, and sometimes it forgets me so I have to log in again. The most annoying part is that it logs in every time you start the game. It's a shame a lot of game don't use the offline saving functionality of GFWL (i.e. being able to play and save the game without being logged in).
  18. Uplay

    And I was almost considering buying Ubisoft games again.
  19. How to care what happens in an FPS

    "You" as the player? or "you" as the in-game character? I don't think you will succeed in making the player feel bad about this actions. It's all virtual anyway. This can be achieved through the role the player is playing. Take for example Deus Ex: Human Revolution. You can play the game killing everybody, or you can play the game killing nobody, or some sort of middle ground where you only kill some people. I played the latter, I didn't kill any police, but I did kill the evil guys (and zombies). The way you play is not forced in anyway, and I think that is very important. Not killing anybody will give an achivement, but other than that it has hardly any influence on the game (only for certain key figures). I think the important thing to you if you want to introduce some kind of feeling for killing, is that you do not force people into a direction. I think the article also goed into that a bit. You are forced to torture somebody, and after that you can decide if you kill him or not. There was no option in not-torturing. I think it would have been better if you had the option to torture, and get the info but also introduce some negative side effects, like some friendly NPC won't help you anymore. If you didn't torture, then you didn't get the info making the next part more difficult, but the NPC will still help you. Or, simply don't give any option at all and torture the guy and kill him. No fake morality systems please.
  20. Xbox Live: Threat or Menace?

    I think PSN is better than the App Store. But Steam (and pretty much any other digital retailer for PC, like GOG.com, etc.) is much better than PSN. Don't know about XBLA. But they all suck for browsing the collection.
  21. Plug your shit

    boy... did you waste your time. Time you could have spend mine crafting
  22. It's also unworkable for me, all my actions take seconds to become final. The ender farm also looks broken, very rare endermen spawns.
  23. Rockstar's L.A. Noire

    ugh... posted that months ago... still haven't finished it.
