  1. This was the final CTF game, I decided to stick to defense
  2. Here's a capture from last monday. This was the 3rd map we played, the 2nd CTF. And I still suck big time at swining around. But this last second save was awesome.

  7. A Super Fun Quiz for everyone!

    too many console games
  8. Quitter's Club: Don't be ashamed to quit the game.

    No, it's a game which might be fun for people with experience in programming, and probably not much for people who do not have experience.
  9. Life

    So do the Scotts want to become independent from English to become more, or less part of the European Union?
  10. Quitter's Club: Don't be ashamed to quit the game.

    Yep, it's a programmer's game. The hacking complexity increases at some point. I don't know if you managed to get back to the wizard's castle, but there it becomes more difficult if you're not a programmer.
  11. Recently completed video games

    Lili: Child of Geos Originally a mobile game, and it shows. The main gameplay mechanic revolves around swiping, but it's quite doable with the mouse. The game world is quite beautiful, or maybe just very colorful. It reminds me much of a studio Ghibli movie. Anyway, the core gameplay element where you have to pull flowers out of the back of spirits becomes tedious at some point. Luckily you don't have to bean all spirits in order to complete it. The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing An action RPG with the usual elements. The game is not very well balanced. Most of the it's between easy and challenging, and then sometimes it's seriously hard and you die within a second. And those are not even boss fights. Some boss fights I completed by getting some hits in, run away for potion and spell cooldowns to finish, and get back. This was quite tedious. When you reach the 2nd part of the game the devs apparently lost interest in dressing up the world and it's just hordes and hordes of monsters you have to fight through without much variation. The worst part is probably the tower defense segments. In the 2nd part you have a lair which at 2 occasions you have to do a tower defense game. The version I played was rather bugged and some traps did not work as they should (according to forums). Either way, this was tedious as still, and impossible to finish without monsters getting it, but I did not have to retry it (luckily). Anyway, there are much better other action RPGs to play. This one isn't strong in mechanics or story, or anything else. You're better of playing something like Titan Quest, or Grim Dawn, or Diablo, or Torchlight, or etc.) Stick It To The Man! This is kind of an interesting platform game. Running around in levels, reading and influencing people's minds. Most levels have a puzzle part where you have to put thought stickers at various places, and some avoid-attackers jumping around stuff. The latter part is tedious and sometimes feels like it's mostly chance rather than skill. The sticker puzzling part was sometimes just trying everything on everything to see what sticks (pun intended). The game has a funny story and great art direction. Hack 'n' Slash just finished this recent Double Fine game. It's one of the games that made it out of the amnesia fortnight. It was rather short, hopefully the community is going to create some additional content. In this game you "hack" the game in order to progress. Initially you hack by setting variables of objects (which are hackable), later on you'll be able to alter scripts. You don't get full access to the script, you can change some operators and variables. Some variables are the function being called. So you could do a lot, including breaking the game. There's no info on what method names can be used, so you have to check other scripts to get some info on that. The scripts are presented in an assembler like way, and editing a script gives you a node based graphical representation. So it is a bit difficult to read and analyze this. But this is part of the fun. If you screw up big time the game can crash. But that's not a big problem as every level transition automatically saves, and you can go back to any save point. And just like Paper's Please you can branch a save game at any time. I would say that this is a game for programmers.
  12. Shaving My Thumbs

    I only use the trimming side of an eletric razor once a week to trim it down. No close shaves for me. Erm... I mean I use a very sharp hunting knife and nothing else. Very manly!
  13. How would you write multiline formulas, like the quadratic formula?
  14. Yes, yes it is stupid. ∈ is just too complicated to write, so a shorthand will be introduced in the IDE to auto-replace isin with ∈, and prodof with ∏ So why not use the shorthand to begin with rather than making the code difficult to type with (you might as well use TeX commands for the shorthand). Programming langauges which are difficult to write will evolve in languages which are easier to write.
  15. What is the Nadir of the Simpsons?

    Why are you people trying to ruin one of my favorite TV series? #SimpsonGate
  16. What do you think made you who you are today?

    Parent, friends, family, teachers, challenges, and a fair does of gamma radiation.
  17. Quitter's Club: Don't be ashamed to quit the game.

    WHAT?! there are also bossfights? I barely cleared 1 level.

    if you're going to do that, then why not use frozen cookies
  19. I Had A Random Thought...

    I actually looked that up the first time I encountered that word in relation to clothing, and I still cannot believe why anybody would use that word to describe clothing.
