    Also, Redneck Rampage, which came with high resolution textures and stuff. I think Tekwar was one of the more interesting usages of the Build engine. It had a lot of similarities with Deus Ex (except being very good).

    I didn't read it before my previous post, I'm not even sure if I saw that post before I replied. But I have read it now, and to me it gives sort of the opposite message of what you said in the part I quoted. Your message gave me the impression that it was the youth raging against the government by destroying their own community, which to me is just simply moronic. Same think like football supported beat up half their city when their team wins/loses. The main message I got from Naughton's post was the group of outsiders rallying up the locals to start a riot and "profit" from it, in sort of a past time activity or my looting. And not so much about doing the anti-government stuff. From the few reports I read/listed about these riots it sounded much more like people partying (by fucking up stuff), and not really about changing the status quo as it was the case in other countries. But sure, I must have been miss-informed by single sided media that's just there for the sensation. (not sarcasm)

    Then set parliament on fire. You don't shit where you eat. You don't ruin your own neighborhood when you're angry at the sheriff.

    it still cheaper than the European version.
  12. Rage

    lol... somehow I think at least 75% of the audience can't follow this keynote. The first part was interesting when he was talking about Rage's technology. The last part I've heard (and complaint about myself) numerous times. I like how John didn't name his "right hand man".
  13. Collector's/Special Editions

    Yes, you USAians only have to pay 105 euros, which is much more reasonable.
  14. Collector's/Special Editions

    Skyrim Special Edition has been announced: http://bethblog.com/index.php/2011/08/05/quakecon-2011-skyrim-collectors-edition-announced/ 150 euros ($220) is quite steep though. The extra stuff isn't really worth 100 euros.

    argh... stop including games I already have...

    Also, making a comic like that also scores high on the dick scale

    Maybe they should simply rename it to "Grabened"

    Actually, it's mostly this:

    Then I'd say, screw the universe.

    Steam's offline mode only works if you've played the game via steam recently. Although for steamcloud games there is often not much use in playing offline as progress might not be loaded, and very likely not even saved.

  22. Life

    Money isn't everything. If you earn enough for basic needs + a bunch of extras, then I think it's more important to work at a place where you like it. Of course you won't know if you like it at the new company.
  23. Recently completed video games

    Killzone 2 (on the lower side of it) finally managed to kill the final boss, probably due to luck. I didn't really enjoy this game. The environment wasn't that great, aiming wasn't annoying (ridiculous slow turning), staying alive was mostly luck based. I really don't like FPS games with a controller. Team mate AI wasn't that great either. AI of the enemies was a bit better, but in a lot of cases they were still following the same path. I'm not even sure wtf I (read: the in-game I) was fighting for. Anyway, other comments can be found in the killzone 2 thread

    that's sexist... go to the feminist thread right now to become re-educated
