  1. Using Games as a documentary medium

    What about Spec Ops?
  2. Show me your desk/gaming space

    But explain National Security and The New Guy? (not to mention My Girl) Not even Short Circuit makes up for that.

  5. The two T-Shirts I bought from the old (european) spreadshirt idlethumbs store were actually quite good quality, both shirt and print. Not sure if what the quality of the US spreadshirt is. Anyways ...
  6. Curiosity – What's Inside the Cube?

    Is it Doug's recipe?
  7. I'd buy (more) Idle Thumbs T-Shirts. I like T-Shirts, and wear them to work (because I'm a software engineer). I wouldn't be interested in assless chaps. As for open world games where you can skip stuff, how about most Bethesda games? Especially Fallout 3, one wrong turn and you skipped a whole bunch of the story.
  8. It's not fair that the black cat has two flying henchmen.

  10. Steam Trading Card

    gamification of steam?
  11. Steam Trading Card

    what's this?

    Deponia Another one of those point and click adventures of Daedalic. I'd quality this as the Simon the Sorcerer equivalent of point and click adventures that were released in the early part of the 90s. Meaning: illogical inventory puzzles. Needed a lot of trial and error to figure out how to deal with the larger puzzles. If it only had the same level of humor ...
  13. Proteus

    Bought it yesterday, and spend about an hour in it. First play was a short one because I needed dinner. Second playthrough was complete. I understand it's more or less the same experience every time you play it? That's a real shame, I would have liked more exploring and more variation in the experience.
  14. Meeting people from the internet is weird

    I'm in the south!? Maybe from Groningen, but in that case almost everything is in the south. ps, how could I even be Spanish? As far as I know "El Muerte" is incorrect Spanish.

  16. I Had A Random Thought...

    And people will look weird at you, because adults.
  17. Meeting people from the internet is weird

    I thought the only correct way to approach Jake in public is while riding a big dog?
  18. I Had A Random Thought...

    But it is hard being an adult.
  19. Fez

    The red sewer? yeah, that sucks big time. There is a checkpoint halfway through it though, although, more like at 66% of it.

    Question mark means a puzzle (piece). This could be a tetris cube decoding thingy, or a RT LT thingy, or an interaction with something.
  21. Quitter's Club: Don't be ashamed to quit the game.

    I'm no longer going to play Krater, ever. I reached the 2nd major city, and also completed some quests around that. But now I have to finish a quest for which I apparently are not skilled enough because I keep getting killed quite fast at the second to last dungeon level. I will probably have to grind like shit to accumulate enough cash to unlock the next level for the 3rd character so that all my characters are at level 15. But this probably is still not enough because my weapons simply suck. Either way, the game feels like it's focused on grinding, or maybe requiring coop to continue. I cannot find much fun in playing this game. (I gave it 5 hours)

    Mark of the Ninja Finally decided to play this game, has been on my todo list way too long. Everything Remo said during the podcast is true I still haven't completed Klei's earlier games (Shank 1+2) because I'm sort of stuck at a meat circus. This didn't happen once with Mark of the Ninja. There's usually more than 1 way to get past something, except for when a new game element is introduced. Every level also has some cheevos of things you can do, most of them try to raise the bar of ninja-ness. And some of them hint at alternate ways to achieve your goal. It's worth trying to get most of them. The challenge chambers (which you encounter during levels) are also great, a nice distraction of the normal game. They also help you to control some game play element, or at least, understand them better.
  23. GeoGuessr

    I'm looking up stuff, because it's like an adventure game.
  24. Brütal Legend on PC!

    Yeah, the radial menu is quite bad with mouse and keyboard. But other than that I haven't had much issues with the PC version. In fact, the RTS part is more playable on PC than it is on the PS3. (I haven't remapped any keys)
