  2. That's why Kindle rocks!

    You just need to change the format of the file with some program that youcan find online for free, but if you want to save yourself the work, Amazon can do it for you for some cash.
  3. Three Moves Ahead Episode 77: Starcraft 2 with Chris Remo “Troy – suffering from a splitting headache – is joined by Rob Zacny, Tom Chick (hooray) and Idle Thumbs/Gamasutra star Chris Remo before he heads off to join Irrational Games. The topic: Starcraft 2. Why does such a competitive, sports structured game like SC2 have such wide appeal? Is the single player campaign really that different from other campaigns? And how about that writing? What are the great joys and great disappointments? Finally, what does Starcraft 2 mean for the future of the PC RTS?“ http://flashofsteel.com/index.php/2010/08/10/three-moves-ahead-episode-77-starcraft-2-with-chris-remo/
  4. Anyone Remember?

    And the fourth one is called ''Of Horse Bags and Emotion Engines''. Anyone feels a need to open that?

    Well, since even we are supported there is almost no chances that Finland wouldn't be, although it would be smart to check. The 3g is pretty much wi-fi on the go, that drains your battery life(it's very usefull when you are travelling and don't have a computer or internet access). But if you are intending to read it just at home, there is no reason to buy one. Unless they are going to expand the newspaper idea what would be totally rad(got a chance to try the iPad and was blown away by Wired app).
  6. [insert name here] writes....

    Nope, just seamed a waste of time to write mails that would never be read so I thought there was no reason not to post them.
  7. Starcraft II

    Okay, let's get this organized on this side of Atlantic also. Anyone has any preferences? I would sudgest the usual Saturday multiplayer time(one used for L4D), but any termin would probably do.
  8. WTF is Telltale's new game?

    Just like Put-Put!

    You can't touch it, but eyes certanly interpretate it as paper not a crappy LCD screen.
  10. That's why Kindle rocks!

    Uk. Amazon ships Kindles only inside UK, so you have to order one from America, but since the dollar is lower than pound you could get it at about the same cost even if you include shipping. Anyway, I've been playing around with the new Kindle. It's still, well..Kindle, but a very perfected one. The UI and the OS(OK, a program that runs it) are pretty much the same. If you already own one it's not so important to upgrade(exapt for PDFs). I did try the reading a little and it's exactly the same, although I had to return it pretty fast so there may be some little changes.
  11. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    Kinda expected both things to be said actually. Experiment sucseed. Anyway, I really don't know what to think of this: CAV0XrbEwNc
  12. Starcraft II

    And invest in some duck tape so everyone can get their Starcraft 2 as one game instead of having it in three pieces.
  13. I hate you, Sony

    @Kroms: Haha, I'm totally with you man. This kind of shit has been part of my gaming life since I first became aware of video games. Sucks, for both of us.. And the world! Also this happens to my for a lot of Youtube videos. They are just blocked(and it suspiciously happens with a lot of Sony stuff).

  17. Thanks for everything. It is realy interesting how the podcast influenced my life(From the episode Kohler was on I listened to the podcast almost every day. Yeah weard I know). Thanks again, for everything.
  18. Life

    Nope, it's just very bad quality photo I somehow managed to make while trying not to kill myself by losing the balance.
  19. Life

    Something nice for a change. This photos were taken some days ago by me while biking(that sounds bad). Edit: Okay... forum crashes me if I try to upload more than one picture. Well, I guess this will have to do.
  20. Starcraft II

    The biggest problem probably still is the region lock. If this is ever removed(common let us play with diffrent regions, even if it is limited to friend), it would be very fun to play some sort of turnament like thing.

  22. Bingo. Also you could add iPhone and DS(since you point and comehow click on both of them).
  23. Honestly, the biggest problem with adventure games is that they aren't avilable anymore. I still can't belive how big of a luck I had to find english(since I buy most of my games in Austria, at least I did, where most games are localized with no english option) Full Throttle and 3rd Monkey island in some local online store. Also just bought the Steam packege couple of days ago and am enjoing Fate of Atlantis more than I expected. Don't linch me if I haven't played so many adventure games as I should. They just didn't exist for me.
  24. Recently completed video games

    Wow. I also just finished Bioshock 2.I really don't know what to think of it. While to certain extent I did enjyoe the combat, it didn't click to me as it did in the original. Mostly this goes to the weapons themself. This sounds stupid, but when I upgraded weapons in 1 it was like 'YEAH, Fucking yeah', while here it was just boring. The thing I did love a lot was the fast that you could use plasmids and guns at the same time, mostly because before it just disoriented you while you were trying to remember what you were going to do because you had to focus on the keyboard etc. I had also some minor gripes, mostly mentioned above so I fell no need to repeat them. @miffy495:I found a combat easy, or more likely less tense since you always have a big drill as one of your hands. I remember the joe when I found 1 ammo clip in Bioshock 1 since I was literaly dead every 5 minutes. Here, meh I have this big drill and rocket luncher so I can pretty much kill everything in 1 second(I killed big sister with constanlly freezing or shocking here and then drill dashing. Also, the person that made shotgun so unsatisfying should get fir...I mean should refine it's idea of a satisfying weapon. In general I think this got a lot of boos for being a Bioshock sequel. I tryed to play it without thinking about original and I could actually see why this game is so good, but well...it is called Bioshock (2). Or I was just naive to think it could be. Still a good game.
  25. General Video Game Deals Thread

    2 S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games are on steam for the price of 7.50. I am thinking of getting them since they are currently together less than if I would buy them individualy(I'm intending to play just the new one, but hey, free stuff is free with a reason).
