  9. Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

    Did go that well for me. Lost the ahnk in the blackmarket because I screwed up a jump. After that it went down hill quite fast. The black market sucked a bit, no jetpack no gloves. I don't understand how I died. I had 1 health left.

  12. The threat of Big Dog

    This is why you shouldn't believe the "it's just meta data" lies. There's no such thing as meta data.
  13. Recently completed video games

    Killing is Harmless aka Spec Ops: The Line: The Book What?! Yes... it's a book by Brendan Keogh about Spec Ops: The Line. It goes through the whole game analyzing all parts of it. So why post it in "recently completed vigis"? Because reading the book feels like experiencing the game again. Initially I picked up Spec Ops: The Line at a steam sale, because.. why not. It looked like a generic shooter game I didn't like, but I heard some things about it. But when I played it, I was astonished by the experience. Recently I recalled the game and came to realize that it's belongs to my list of best games ever made. On the drive back from my recent ski trip I was sort of bored and started to check out the ebooks I bought via http://storybundle.com , and I noticed the book "Killing is Harmless", I started to read it... and read it... and read it. The 8 hour drive evaporated while I was, once again, mesmerized by Spec Ops: The Line. The drive wasn't long enough, or I was too tired, so I wasn't able to finish the book in one sitting. I needed a few hours to finish it, which I had today. Soo... the book does analyze the game's story a lot, and to some agree even over analyses it at some points. But reading Keogh's walkthrough and analysis initiated a total recall of my own experience. So I feel like I've played the game again. ... I feel I have to actually play the game a 3rd 2nd time.

    Had a great run. First time to spawn inside the maoi and get the weird hat. Sadly I didn't survive the damn alien.
  18. Plug your shit

    (ianal) It's perfectly legal. It's your art, your creation, despite it is inspired by the work of others. BUT that doesn't mean "they" won't try to sue you into oblivion.

  21. Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

    I haven't heard anything about Samsung plasmas continuing. I'm not fully convinced on the current state of OLED.
