Well pretty much as I see it, a game needs not to be fun exactly, but to compel you to continue until the end or until time you see fit to finish playing in a game which has no proper ending, or it is a failure to a point. of course this compulsion could well be seen as fun, but in a sense it isn't true fun, it is something else. If a film, album or novel isn't compelling then it is usually a bad thing. If I don't care about any aspect of the subject then I wouldn't consider it a success, which of course is subjective, so I could not comment on another's perspective without first understanding theirs. Although the obligatory tag of "game" implies that it will be fun, if any sort of non video game is not fun then it is not a success, at all. So maybe the use of the given tag is at fault here. Although the use and meanings of words can and often does change, but game is one which I highly doubt will change to something almost entirely different. Any game for me has to have a decent fun to time ratio (although no figure is applicable) or it won't get the time it wants, which is pretty much why I am done with Catan. I cannot put my thoughts together into what I am thinking properly so I might try again in the next few days. These are just initial thoughts.

it was 2008

ATI?

Probably Forza 3. We should combine this with (or make a separate thread for) the game of the decade.

Yeah, the one thing I loved about Prince of Persia Warrior Within.

3 resets for me too, annoying as hell.

Dependant on the actual size of the screen then yes, it could well seem identical, despite technically not being.

Fun game, scavenge is excellent fun. Really close game, smoker is probably my favourite over all, I like most infected though.

It seems to me to be an homage more than a parody, which in itself is neither a good nor a bad thing, an illegitimate reason to make a game, but we will see.

I may well be.

I believe that in the near future (or now) it is 4K, being either 4096 × 1714 or 3996 × 2160. the standard would have been (or still is) 2K.

In your endo!

That is one fantastic looking mushroom.

Apologies for my awful sense of humour, I entirely blame my housemates for making innuendos out of everything, must have rubbed off more than I thought.

Eating disorders are a horrible thing, my sister was bulimic among a lot of other fucked up things (and probably still, but that is besides the point). Hopefully if you feel you are heading towards a resurgence, you can stop it occurring.

accidentally shooting a gun, this among other small references. I have a terrible sense of humour either way. Sorry... I'm not.

Same here, apart from the car bit.

It's not all of them, just a few people, and a few who have exceptionally poppy voices.

cocking your or someone else's gun

Not a good one.

Listened, and it's all well and good subject wise, however for the love of god use a better mic and a pop shield, god damn.

Double fine aren't owned by EA though?

Kind of put me out of the question, but I'll suggest some other stuff. Almost anything by Amon Tobin (supermodified or out from outwhere are the best albums), Animal Collective are also a good bet. Both are electronicish.

How has no one made an innuendo?

I'll likely pick it up on Xbox also, I have friends who hate PC games, who I often play with, won't be until december earliest though.
