Watch them between seasons 2 and 3. Oh man. The season cliffhanger at the end of 2 is incredible. I'm re-watching them all now and am a few episodes away.

Has anyone else watched the first webisode yet? Gaeta....

Speaking of Fez, does anyone know if it's still being worked on. The website was last updated in February.

I don't yet know how I feel about the "Starcraft 2 trilogy", although from the press release it sounds at though they have slightly more legitimate reasons for expanding the game over three releases.

Cave Story.

I really enjoy it. I like the change in pace from most of Valve's shooters, specifically that it's not completely up to you. The Director does the job of making you feel rushed so as not to get caught in another swarm, while the game-play favors a slower, more methodical approach. I've only so far gotten to play single-player, but I imagine it only gets better when you can strategize with friends, especially in the four last stand levels. My only disappointments so far are superficial: I wish they had made better use of the cornfields in Blood Harvest. I wish characters didn't tend to float around at the edge of cliffs. Idle Thumbs server this weekend?

Might be easier to just plan for the weekend. Can't wait though...

want to play tonight at around 4:30 my time? (3 and a half hours?) Dunno what time it is there.

An emphatic yes!

My anticipation for The Fall has been growing ever since it was first mentioned on this thread. My first chance to watch it on a real television is over Thanksgiving break and I'm counting the days. His other movie, The Cell, looks visually interesting as well, although it's not supposed to be as good. I've seen and can recommend Mulholland Drive: It's just fucked up. Absolutely weird, though it left me oddly dissatisfied. David Lynch does a good job of keeping you in a state of gripping terror the whole time I've also been watching Dexter. I'm on the third or fourth episode of season 3 now, and it's great. Some of the plot-lines are a little melodramatic, but the last 5 episodes of Season 2 were some of the most intense hours of television I've ever watched. Definitely good stuff, but...

Obama wins!

This is one of those times I wish I had a 360. I'm so anxious to play this game, but I guess I have to wait until "late winter". Gah. Good to hear it's as fun as it looks, though.

I'm working on getting a cross-platform program to run on my Windows PC. Thought someone could give me a hand, I'm utterly lost. http://vmpk.sourceforge.net/#Installation The program file was .bz2 and extracted to a single .tar file. Apparently I need Qt. And now I need help putting the two together.

I'm with you. It's not that I don't see how people could have fun with an MMO, but I despise monthly charges. I don't think there's any game I would pay monthly to play. Going along with the whole craziness about Spore recently, when I buy something, I want to own it and be able to play it whenever I want on my own terms. Knowing I'd have to shell out $15 just to keep playing would stress me out.

Yeah, this is an incredible game. I'm only on the 2nd world, but the level where is awe-inspiring. What is this 6 moon levels thing? And Jonathan Blow, please give us PC users Braid!

There's no reason to franchise this game in my opinion. It works so well as a standalone title. I'd love to see another "spiritual successor" under the Bioshock name, employing similar utopian principles to a completely new setting and context. Of course, I'm one of those crazy people who still thinks the team should be working on rewriting the last 5th of the original game.

If only every company was a Valve...

I've been looking at this for a while, and it just keeps getting better. I love zombie horror. Then again, I would literally buy anything if it had Valves name stamped on it.

Sooooo. How about that expansion pack. I forgot about the whole Sims expansion pack phenomenon.

Has anyone else checked it out yet? I really liked it. Funny, relatively good music.

Ugh. Spore did what flOw had done earlier and better, regardless of who thought of what when and while working for whom.

I was under the impression that it was inspired by spore, but that it was an example of the interpretation being inspiring to the creators of the original project. The whole jumping up levels, getting lighter towards the surface, seeing other creatures below you aspects weren't in any early trailers I saw. But if he's on the design team, then that's different I guess.

I love both the cell and creature stages, which I've played through as both an aggressive and peaceful creature, but I hate the tribal stage. In fact, I've been unable to get past it. The cell stage works as a flOw rip-off with some interesting ideas. The creature stage is amazing just for the thrill of exploring the planet. However, when you get into a game-style as obviously game-oriented as the tribal stage, Spore's weak design begins to show. I'm having a ball with the editors though, especially the vehicle ones.
