It's truly amazing what feats an adult with a grasp of typing words into a google search field can accomplish. Bravo!

Fascinating! I have recalibrated my sensors and placed you at the center of the fucking universe. Hopefully this will prevent any future missteps on my part. In other news... YAWN!

WOLFENSTEIN RPG IS OUT!!! Also - I've been pretty addicted to Flight Control and Minigore lately.

I really dug this too. Especially the story about the agoraphobe.

hey toblix - rad that you enjoyed Fieldrunners - it's definitely my favorite iPhone game. I've seen screenshots of a snow map - so I'm pretty sure there's gonna be another map update at some point. Hopefully soon.

It's the North American nekkid ladies edition. $27.99 on Steam until August 12. I was really bummed about the console version getting the kibosh, but I'm gonna do an XPadder map to my 360 controller and play from the loveseat in my home office. Yee-ha! Fucking 14GB download though - yeesh!

I bought the Director's Cut on Steam last night and am eager to tear into it this weekend!

I love that the spam post ended with a lone "Olympics", like the way a grade school kid would end a spelling bee attempt or a speech. Totally adorable - by accident!

You wanna be a little more clear about that? I reckon you're kidding, but I don't get the joke...

I have no idea how much work it would entail, being a consumer and not a creator by any means - but a title with the attention yours is getting seems like it would make a splash in the app store, and the interface seems perfect for adventure games.

I saw the new Harry Potter last night and I enjoyed it. I read/heard that it was the same cinematographer as Amelie, and it showed. Really, really great looking stuff all over the place. Definitely the best looking of all the films, but my favorite (book and movie) remain #3. Some stupid fucking bitch 3 seats down from me had diarrhea of the mouth and couldn't stop yapping to her friend or waving her fucking Blackberry around. Cunt. I HATE movie theaters. I always end up sitting next to the fucking chatterboxes and I get so pissed & preoccupied with them that I can't enjoy the movie. Guh!

Your pun. It is clever. It made me .

This looks really fun! I saw that Monkey Island just landed on the app store and it made me think of you guys. So... On a scale of 1 to 10, how likely do you think an iPhone port of this lovely game would be?

Good to hear! I'll download the demo fer sure, but I'm saving my $pacebucks for Shadow Complex & Mothership Zeta.

Not being a touch typist - this is a barrier of entry for me. That said, I don't really gravitate towards the "spectrum of input" type games like RTS or simulators, but just I can't get the hang of WASD. I remember being a kid with an Atari 2600 and thinking there was NO FUCKING WAY I was ever going to get the hang of a d-pad after using that joystick for so long, but I eventually did, and I reckon WASD is analogous to that. What I crave though is a Wii-style nunchuck analog input + mouse for PC games. That would rule.

I think you nailed it right there. Both obviously have their unique merits. A sloppy, half-baked analogy I'll offer is skateboarding. You don't decide whether you're going to be goofy-footed or regular-footed before you start skating - you just do what feels right at first and take it from there. Next thing you know - you skate one way or the other. Something like that anyways. I agree 100% with Chris about PC being essential because it is an open platform. And what's even better is that most of the insanely creative indie stuff seems to run fine on modest specs - so that furthers it's inclusiveness greatly. And El Muerte, thanks for addressing every single point with such vigor and determination. I'm well aware of all of those points, but what may seem like no big deal to you might be a colossal inconvenience or headache to someone else. I play consoles and PC games, certain things feel better on one, and some on the other. It's my preference - I'm sorry if that's somehow "wrong" to you. Also, my 90+ hour Fallout 3 and Mass Effect saves disagree with your notion that western RPGs don't work on consoles. Yes, yes - I'll relieve you from having to point out that both of those are also on PC, and with more available user made content - but I enjoyed the living shit out of them both on consoles. P.S. I don't think I can live in a world where I don't have a machine capable of playing Shadow of the Colossus.

I think the soundtrack is shit & doesn't fit the look of this at all - but this looks pretty interesting otherwise. Currently planned for PC, but I'm hoping XBLA and/or PSN as well. <object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7MSTpt346o&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7MSTpt346o&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object> edit: fixed video

Hey look! A new thread to continue some discussion that's begun here.

Seriously... FUCK THIS GUY!!!!!

Mothership Zeta DLC looks shit-hot! http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/59526

Enviro-bear is truly an instance of "so bad it's good". If you took Rodney Greenblatt (Parappa the Rapper), fed him Peyote, cut off all his fingers, and duct taped a stylus to one stump, a single button mouse to the other and set him loose in Corel Draw or MacPaint - you'd end up with artwork along these lines. It's hilariously awful, but oddly charming.

Grappling hook. Hacksaw. Done!

I really enjoyed the theatrical release of Watchmen - so I'm sure I'll like the DC even more. And yeah - Jackie Earle Haley's Rorschach totally blew me away (-IGN.com).

It was kind of amazing. My wife and I had been drinking all day (being the 4th of July and all) so we kinda got pretty misty/choked-up a few times. Those guys are 100% genuine and sincere. They really impressed upon me how much they fucking mean it. They sounded really really great. We couldn't see the fireworks from where we were in relation to downtown - but it didn't matter. Easily my favorite band in existence, and this lived up to some pretty high expectations.

Thane is too fucking cool.
