Idle Thumbs 1: Let the Games Begin
elmuerte replied to Chris's topic in Idle Thumbs Episodes & Streams
That would be an interesting question for the next thumbcast: What happened to the good old enormous game boxes and the various stuff they contained besides the disc and manual? And maybe... love/hate 'em? want them back? For example my Crusader No Remorse/Regret came with a large collection of other stuff like company news letters (from the virtual ingame company), or Stonekeep came with a small novel. Or foam darwinians. -
There is no "uncanny valley" for sound...
elmuerte replied to ThunderPeel2001's topic in Video Gaming
Sounds isn't limited much by technology. A lot of game devs simply do not care for that level of detail, and a shit load of players don't care either. For example. One of the most noticeable things is the sound of footsteps, in most games the footsteps always have the same sound no matter on what surface person is walking on. Simply changing the sound of footsteps makes a bit difference. For example in Little Big Adventure you had different sounds, they even went so far that one foot made the sound of carpet, and the other of brick. Another big thing is the usage of music. In movies everything is static, so you can perfectly time the music and produce a proper flow. This adds a lot to the mood in the game. For interactive entertainment you need to use dynamic music. But this isn't used that often, even though the technology has been around for years. Some games that come to mind with excellent dynamic music would be Unreal and Star Reach/Space Federation. As for environment effecting the sound. I've seen a couple of games where they they did do it. But it wasn't always that obvious (and had various bugs). Don't know exactly which games had it, but I'm sure it was at least of of the Rainbow Six games. Of course there were a couple of other games around the SBLive! era when real time sound modifications came up. But these days I don't really notice much difference. So... it does loke like the sound department doesn't get the level of detail other department get. -
"Why?"

that is a awesome box, much better than the average crate

make sure you read the description to see if it includes a game disc or cartridge.

I'm pretty sure they also warned you it might not be there. I wonder if the next episode will contain a game disc or cartridge. -

shouldn't that be Dark Forces 3? Because Dark Forces 2 was Jedi Knight 1

Game journalism is a joke (no matter from where you view it)
elmuerte replied to Marek's topic in Video Gaming
probably... 1% of 1.000.000 is more than 1% of 100.000 but there's also a chance that of the 900.000 extra people more than 1% is pirating -

So bend over and accept it?... no thanks. Also his reasoning that because the masses are dumb/oblivious doesn't mean I should also jump from the bridge. -

It's not game journalism, it's journalism in general. -

Yahtzee made a game: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/content/games/yahtzee/artoftheft it's one of those annoying games where stealth is important, haven't tried it yet. Also, I was just notified about Knytt stories, sort of a sequel to the cool game [thread=4793]Knytt[/thread].

I don't think it was an accident. But other than that... thank you... because of you I had to clean my monitor. I hope you're happy. Sucks for the people who worked there. Game wise... don't see it as a major loss. Or is ncsoft doing something else besides a gazillion MMOGs?
