  1. New Forums! Post feedback, notes, etc here

    Cool, I can edit which forums are shown in the 'View New Content'-section. Very thoughtful. There should be a link to the main-site somewhere in the forum-region, no? (Stupid that the small font size from before The Change correspondes to '8' now. Makes all my old shit unreadable.)
  2. Plug your shit

    Hey SpeedyDesiato, I really enjoyed Episodes 10 and 11 - all the epiosdes I've listend to till now - of your podcast Buried in the Credits (episode 10 a bit more, with Dave you seemed to have a better chemistry somehow). You have a good podcast voice, at least in my ears, and the concept of the show is great. I hope you continued to find interesting people to talk to.
  3. New Forums! Post feedback, notes, etc here

    You just earned yourself a Warning Point.
  4. New Forums! Post feedback, notes, etc here

    Oh, new, cool! It says I have '0 warning points' - what do I have to do to get more? And Jake, you probably noticed, but your non-square Avatar is squared in the thread-header. It looks silly.
  5. Unnecessary Comical Picture Thread

    (hilarious) Poor dog.
  6. The Dancing Thumb (aka: music recommendations)

    To embed youtube videos you wrap [YOUTUBE] tags only around the silly letter-and-number-combination at the end of normal youtube-links. (When you 'quote' me, you can see for yourself.) I like the song.
  7. There is an easy way to check whether you might be interested in reading the updates. Chris made one big thread where all the important (meaning: made by actual DF-people) updates are collected. You find it in the 'DFA: From Double Fine and 2 Player Productions' subsection of the 'Private Kickstarter Backers-Only Area' forum. To quote our own Chris Remo on the matter: I usally read the DF-starter-posts you find via this collecta-thread and then skim it for other DF-input. (And to finally actually answer your question...) The DF-updates are highly interesting, I recommence you read them. One of the latest ones shows new art be Nathan Stapley, very cool!
  8. Show me your desk/gaming space

    So, Thompson, what did Julia answer? (I really like like the Japanese artpiece.) Wait, I think there was a brackets and size mixup.
  9. Survey

    Done as well. Can you maybe elaborate on the nature of the school project, I don't know, what is the point, or your point on the matter? Just curious. Oh, and not for the sake of argument, I do not want to argue about piracy on the internet! (At least the intellectual property kind.)
  10. Life

    Oh, Germany, I know that country. One could even say I am there right now. Rodi (Or anyone else, for that matter. You all seem nice [enough].), if you happen to find yourself east of The Wall you should visit certain places - I could show you around Halle or Leipzig.
  11. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    Oh, really? (But you mean, like, his parents are are from some other place. No?) Anyway, I don't care, I just want to hug him and look at him with dreamy eyes.
  12. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    His accent is adora--great. Makes him sound very likable. Eastern European, maybe even Russia, no?
  13. Favorite early cancelled TV series

    As far as originalty goes (regarding your question) it is basically Firefly in highschool, but aaaaaaanyway, I liked Freaks & Geeks. Great show, was killed way too early.
  14. Zorro Joins Double Fine

    Well good for you, Chris... No, really, cool stuff, congrats!
  15. Deus Ex 3

    I wish I had known beforehand that I was supposed to not kill in the pre-aug level as well to be considered a pacifist. I mean post-operation I had the tools and the skills to unconsciouscate everyone, but at the beginning they gave me just a gun – and I used it. Yeah, that’s the kind of pacifist I am. (Not that I care about stupid achievements. Stupid mean achievements.)
  16. Unnecessary Comical Picture Thread

    You lady seem to to have a vast library of pictoral animal-extraordinarities. I applaud you!
  17. Wasteland 2

    Just for the record, after being not super-excited some weeks ago about Wasteland 2 and Brian Fargo, I am now super-excited about Wasteland 2 and Brian Fargo. It all just gets better and better.
  18. In spirit with this threads title: A comment regarding Stacking. Okay, probably not that interesting, but it confused me and made me smile and I wanted to share it with you. So many big words, so much ideology just for little Stacking. Maybe someone can even enlighten me where he's coming from or what his point is...
  19. Gifts - Stuff for Free

    New people and list updated-bump. (Some stuff is probably already gone, what do I know.) Yeah, new people, there is a list with free stuff, mostly Steam, in the first post. (Some might not gift to non-regulars, but I suppose most really don't mind at all - you people figure that out.) Berniesbc, is Magicka still available? I am a bit interested - is it good in single player as well or just fun in coop?
  20. What would Molydeux

    I wish I'd look like this dude. (Oh, wait, I petty much do. Btw, it's from one of Mark Hamers Polaroids.) But yeah, people's avatars greatly influence my perception of them. And when people change pictures, I get confused.
  21. Leisure Suit Larry in "gimme your money"

    So this remake was announced at least half a year ago and now they want to kickstart it. That's strange. Haven't played a Larry game in a very long time, so my memories are cloudy... ...Are the Larry games good adventures? ...The sexism, it is pretty dumb, no? Or is there commentary or something validating it? I did like (parts of) the kickstarter-video, though.
  22. I've no idea how Amazon-referrals work, but if you can get referrals for the same book on German Amazon, I'd buy it thusly.
  23. Wasteland 2

    So if they hit $2.1 million Chris Avellone of Obsidian/Fallout/Planescape-fame is on board. Very-very exciting! He is supposed to "to help push the density and literary content of the game." Okay, now I'm as emotionally invested in this Kickstarter and its success as I was with Tim Schafer's. The update.
  24. IDLE THUMBS KICKSTARTER!

    I see you point Chris, and it does make sense. Guess I just wouldn't mind even if the progress-casts would be free for all. But yeah, with all Kickstarter-promises that is not really an option.
