  1. Happy Birthday!

    Maybe you some day boost to the moon.
  2. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    More importantly is the question: are they belong to us?
  3. Idle Thumbs PAX Panel Live Stream?

    If a Wizard is a Thumb; (s)he fucked up.
  4. Toonstruck... 2?!

    Hopkins FBI wasn't good either. I just wanted to confuse people by mentioning less known adventure gamers of a not-so-great quality.
  5. Toonstruck... 2?!

    oh wait.. it looks much better in it's original or double size... the scale used in the embedded movie is quite terrible.
  6. The Witness by Jonathan Blow

    Ah. I'm making a note here. "Huge Success" anything else?
  7. Toonstruck... 2?!

    ugh... interlaced video... did somebody create an improved engine for that game yet?
  8. Toonstruck... 2?!

    I've never played Toonstruck. On a scale of Bud Tucker via Chronomaster to Hopkins FBI, how does it rate?
  9. Mass Effect 2

    ME2 is a RPG?
  10. I liked how you replaced the police sires with a laugh track.
  11. Mass Effect 2

    Statistics are not fit making conclusions; they are just measurements.

    I really really really love the opening part of the monkey island theme. It has something magical.
  13. The Witness by Jonathan Blow

    those line puzzles look like some of those puzzles in Prof Layton

    that doesn't sound like IdleThumbs, it's correct...
  15. Video games

    I've had gaming dips too in the past 10 or so years. It's usually around the time I'm investing a lot of time in programming. But also, lack of really interesting games. A lot of games become quite tedious after a while which really hurts your gaming motivation. What really helps in those times is to dig up a classic you really enjoyed, but haven't played in a while. Then again, I'm no where near as old as you (only 29) so I don't know what's it like at that age. Getting back on the 40 or even 100 ours of play. I don't know what the appeal is, why I really invest a lot of times in some games, but don't want to do that in others. I have noticed that there haven't been a lot of games lately where I wanted to put a lot of time in. At least, not like the older days. There must be some magic involved. The most recent game I really spend a lot of time in (and enjoy it for most of the time) was Just Cause 2. I literary spend over 2 hours once just driving around. But for example Dragon Age... at a certain time I simply tried to rush through the game as fast as possible.
  16. Meh.. not worth it. Already have two copies of the game. But more importantly... fucking comic sans
  17. The threat of Big Dog

    Jake, you have something new to fear: 68mp7dYUOWU 8VLjDjXzTiU
  18. Duke Nukem Forever Canned [and then not]

    Nothing beats setting up laser trip mines and luring your opponents into them. Or using a shrink ray on a mirror to hit your opponent just to squish them, they never saw it coming...
  19. Starcraft 2

    the prothos side missions pretty much said
  20. Starcraft 2

    Yeah, ok. So actually hunting for the worms made a enormous difference. I also decided to upgrade armor and weapons of the vehicles and planes. This time I barely lost units at all. So, I came quite far without actually killing worms that were not within siege tank range (I checked, I was just over 70%). Those worms were never this annoying in the missions before that. So, yay.. I finished Starcraft 2 on normal (every mission, even the alternates). Timed missions sort of sucked every time, specially the first Odin mission was annoying. The normal skirmish missions had the same flaws as RTS games back in 1995. Create a proper defense, take out enemy bases part by part, in the mean while build an army so large than you cannot fit every unit within a single screen, waltz through the rest of the map without blinking. The commando missions were all fun. The secret mission and the last prothos missions were the most intense (if you exclude my wrong try on the final mission). The ending of the game doesn't make sense at all. Also, the most likable person in this whole game was Tygus, or at least, the only one with an actual personality.
  21. Duke Nukem Forever Canned [and then not]

    I even played Duke3D with friends (4 on total) on a local LAN in June 1999. I still knew all ins and outs of the levels because I played it so much since 1996. I also made a shit load of cool stuff with the Build editor, but I think I lost is all. I created quite some nifty levels. Duke3D was really something special/revolutionary. DNF won't be, but that doesn't matter, all that matters is that it offers the same gameplay. And that's what I've been hoping for since DNF was first announced.
