Patters

Everything you are about to read is written by a hungover and angry person. I wrote personally. I'm fucking fed up with people wanking over the god damn property, proclaiming that it's the best thing ever. My point is it attracts the worst kind of gamer, those who I have distanced myself from. Maybe I'm being a dick about this, but so are a lot of the fans. I feel that the way they are advertising it is horrible, in the same way those that link feeds (Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, etc) and auto updates from websites like Raptr, I don't fucking care, I don't want to read the same thing twice, I don't want to know what you are playing (if I did I would look on Xbox.com/Steam). This sort of behaviour is similar to extremists, be they religious or otherwise. I'm not going to force Vegetarianism down your throat so stop fucking spamming shit about Scott Pilgrim. There is a big difference between enthusiastic and annoying, SP fans tend to be the latter. AND DONE, sorry. Addendum: Very little/none of this applies to Thumbs by 8 bit I don't mean the game, I mean game trope which started in 8 bit coins flying out of enemies, etc, I'm not going to touch the art in the game, nor the music, "loud" references are pretty much bullshit, like overused memes.

I'm going to second this, adding that I have read the most of first book (which I have nothing positive to say). The references are fucking stupid and far too upfront, to the point where I would call it a parody of games. References should be subtle. Everyone I know, personally, who is a big fan of the comic is either not a gamer or is an illiterate, Kotaku reading hypocrite. Maybe tending to a different type of game (serious tones, modern, etc) and being fed up of 8bit type games leads me to this.

I've been playing a decent amount with shackers, it's pretty cool seeing how much we've built in less than 2 days (since the server crash). The Castle with a moat is mine, accompanied by caves below. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7834948/20100818_1839.png

I'm blaming the Tories for this.

Just want to add that Iron Maiden are ridiculously awesome dudes, very few bands would do that.

Just grab the character string at the end of the url. So for the video I linked earlier it's sfCiOzL7cYs.

Well if you're OK with it, I guess it's all good. I'll PM you your username and Murdoc can PM the game details if he is happy with it also.

Only a couple, if people are OK with it. It wouldn't be fair to Speedy not to.

The game has a pretty good tutorial which it'll link you to in the game, this is helpful also for battles.

Right, I have it sorted, Speedy is in. We have a couple of ways to do this, the best would probably be a reroll of 3/4 names to keep it fair, those who can do so post here and I'll send the amended names. Sean deeply apologises for not being able to participate, as I said before the dude's incredibly busy.

I heard about that, Sonisphere right?

I want him to be my friend.

How long can you last? sfCiOzL7cYs

Fixed.

Which ever has the most beer.

Who linked to a potentially unsafe site which Chrome is upset by?

Happy Birthday!

Yeah this is how I feel, I want Deus Ex set here.

If everyone in the game wants to kill me, I'm going to be a little annoyed I want a functioning city.

OK that's done, I'll nudge those who haven't joined once I have the chance.

No. Excuse me while I go throw up for citing a Kotaku article.

No they've just been busy. I'll message them as soon as I have received both names and scrambled them to keep the game as random as possible.

Yeah.

He's in the game.

The entirety of Doctor Who is awful, at least to me. I probably hate it more because I spent the last year living with a whovian (like a trekkie but worse).
