  1. Steam Summer Getaway Sale

    304 is the max
  2. Steam Summer Getaway Sale

    I've put a premium sale on the market, lets see if anyone notices:
  3. Steam Summer Getaway Sale

    Wait... so, reach level 5 for a badge, and then when you play the game you get only foil cards for that game? So spend 5x7x12 = 3.50 euros and get 4 card drops worth 1 euro, thus making 0.50 euro in profit.
  4. I Had A Random Thought...

    haha Now if the tax man would do the same it would be awesome.
  5. Maybe kickstarter should introduce an upper limit. So, you can back a project until the deadline was reached, or when the upper limit was reached. That way you can protect a project from scaling out of bounds.
  6. I take it your friends don't work in a field where you create new stuff all the time? Because slipping deadlines happens in a lot of projects, not just video games. The higher percentage of the project consists out of "new stuff" the higher the risk becomes that you will have to "pick two". With pick two I'm referring to the common project management triangle. There are different triangles out there, but a common one is {scope, within budget, within time}. (Although, dropping time usually means you will also lose on budget because of manpower.) When a publisher has the control they usually will reduce the scope. And this is very noticeable, and often the complaint by reviewers and players. They complain that the game feels rushed or unfinished. So, now the publisher has been cut from the picture (with crowdfunded games) the gamers are behaving like publishers. How ironic.
  7. Unnecessary Comical Picture Thread

    You might say that the raccoon was operating the toaster.
  8. Why So Serious Sam 3?

    I still haven't finished SS3, I guess I haven't reached the part where it become like SS again.

    "This video previously contained a copyrighted audio track. Due to a claim by a copyright holder, the audio track has been muted." Seriously?!
  11. The Walking Dead

    I was just joking. I think there are multiple endings, but all off screen.
  12. The Walking Dead

    I replayed episode 5 so that everybody dies; much better ending
  13. Recently completed video games

    Just finished the Tiny Tina DLC for Borderlands 2... I'm now done with this game. The Tiny Tina DLC was ok, it was different, yet the same. The worst part of it was how incredibly linear the world and adventure was.
  14. QUILTBAG Thread of Flagrant Homoeroticism

    Ok, yeah so it's not a small step, or subject to making a step, it's a big thing. But I think that if there wasn't a lot of opposition some law makers in the US would also try to get laws like these.
  15. Movies with awesome music usage

    I was watching Dark Shadows again. One thing that really sticks to me with this movie is the awesome usage of (licensed) music. It doesn't happen that often that I think that the usage of music in the movie is really fitting and contributing to the movie. So... here a thread to discus movies where licensed music really plays a contributing role (rather than supporting). So it's about preexisting music that was properly used in a movie. Thus, no original music created for a movie.
  16. Movies with awesome music usage

    Oh right, Watchmen. The title scene was absolutely excellent. And then there was the burial.
  17. QUILTBAG Thread of Flagrant Homoeroticism

    ... back you up in what way? I'm pretty sure I'm agreeing with you.
  18. Steam Summer Getaway Sale

    I feed on that.

  21. Idle Thumbs 115: Robot News

    Watched the video stream. The point where Sean dropped the bucket almost killed me. It's around the 9 minute mark
