  1. I Had A Random Thought...

    I don't know, maybe being rich or something. Or CEO of a worldwide conglomerate with evil plans to take over the world.
  2. I Had A Random Thought...

    I feel I should have accomplished more at this point in my life.
  3. Life

    Grade 4? Lucky you? Grade 5 kids are really a PITA. I have no idea what grade 4 is. But I do know I don't fancy teaching.
  4. Movie/TV recommendations

    Corner Gas is truely amazing. Canadian comedies really don't get enough attention. Just like "Little Mosque on the Prairie", Corner Gas is really off the radar.
  5. Leisure Suit Larry in "gimme your money"

    Does it matter Tanukutsune? You play pretty much every Steam game anyway.
  6. Movie/TV recommendations

    I approve of Corner Gas.
  7. Gone Home from The Fullbright Company

    Stupidity.

  13. Armikrog: Earthworm Neverhood 2?

    lets not forget the that podcast that;s already delivering
  14. Boards management game? Boarding until you get board?
  15. I haven't played the Last of Us, not sure if I will, not really fond of the Zombie genre. But what I've taken from the 3 Uncharted PS3 games, Naughty dog always fails to wrap up a game. It always ends in tedious sequences of fights.
  16. Routine

    I hope this game comes with a pansy-mode. I would really love to explore that world without starting from scratch every time I make a mistake.
  17. Games giveaway

    I'll try and see if that code still works
  18. I Had A Random Thought...

    I turn up the volume and try to tune them out
  19. Movie/TV recommendations

    I think Big Momma's House is the best Coen brothers movie.
  20. Nextbox 1080: The Reckoning

    I also have a R4, and it contains games for which I also have a cartridge.
  21. Recently completed video games

    Just finished both Puzzle Agent games Overall the puzzles were quite simple. There were a few rather difficult puzzles (e.g. space numbers). I screwed up a few puzzles mostly because the description wasn't clear. Unlike Professor Layton you're not bombarded with a shit load of similar puzzles, so I didn't get tired of the puzzles. Anyway, funny story. Had 6 hours of fun (in total).
  22. Spoiling games

    Let's talk about games that spoil what's going to happen. For example this screenshot from Darksiders II: It's quite obvious that after you enter this room, it will be locked, and you have to fight a few waves of enemies that spawn out of nothing. When a room doesn't have doors, or openings in the ground near entrances you know for sure that there won't be a fight in the room. The same thing also happens in a lot of third person games which feature cover mechanics. As soon as you reach an area where you see a bunch of chest high walls you know for sure you're going to be attacked. (Usually by previous invisible enemies). It's not just more recent games. Doom 3 was also riddled with predictable elements, although not that visible as the above examples. Doom 3 quite often had the sequence of: shallow hallway, light breaks/goes off/..., enemy spawns behind you. At some point in the game I simply walked backwards through these hallways go kill the imp directly when it spawns. These repeating game elements really make the game predictable, and there for boring. It really doesn't have to be like that.
  23. Nintendo trengthens internal development studios

    Never has a thread title be so cromulent in conveying a message.
  24. Spoiling games

    The Walking Dead also does that a bit. But it's rather weird, because what you see might in the preview might not even be what you will experience in the game. However, I am rather annoyed by the previews, because it will kind of steer my actions in the game because I have an idea what might come. I guess the previews worked while you had to wait a while for the episode to appear. But I'm playing it with all episodes available. So I have a fresh memory of the stuff in the preview.
