  1. Life

    Well Aurelius means golden one. Maybe a different emperor is in order? Perhaps Septimius Severus? Or, seeing as how it's a cat, and therefore the spawn of Satan himself, something with a bit more hubris, like Elagabolus, the Sun God-emperor?

    Is your cat golden colored?

    More Professor Elemental. NW_MNiivpTI
  4. Recently completed video games

    I just beat Enslaved. Overall a good game with great acting and decent writing (until the end). The problem is that it was riddled with random difficulty spikes and cheap deaths. For example, the enemies won't attack you during a kill animation, but you can still suffer damage, so the giant laser pointed at you will still kill you. I liked the world, and it was full of lush and fleshed out environments. The combat was just frustrating. The ending was...not very good I don't think. If the writers were Overall I recommend it, it's a fun game, cheap by now, and an original IP (for what it's worth).
  5. Back to the Future

    Anyone know if the TT version will activate on steam like Poker Night did (I think?)? Also, is there any Jake/Sean involvement in this series?

    Damn, doesn't include Back to the Future, and I already own everything else from a Steam Sale.

    1:14 is one of the creepiest things I've ever seen.
  8. Metro 2033?

    I don't remember having a big problem with this, in fact, I remember quite the opposite. I could kind of be a boogey man for the enemies and hide in the shadows and shoot out all the lights while they freaked out and backed up. Maybe it's the difficulty setting?
  9. Metro 2033?

    I just treated the game like Far Cry 2: be stealthy at first so you can begin the engagement on your own terms, then when it starts to get crazy, improvise and hide when needed.

    You missed the Mad Professor then (who I think might be the bearded guy from Twisted Pixel).
  11. Metro 2033?

    Same here, then when I went back, the game locks up when I try to load my save. I never looked into it, but I want to finish it by the end of the year.

    I've gotten addicted to Fighting Trousers. That song burrows itself into your brain. Unfortunately none of the other songs on the cd seem to be nearly as catchy as the two with videos. Also, man do I not like Mr. B.

    Just beat Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. I actually like the platforming in that game, especially the Assassins' Tombs-like levels, but they really need to tweak the sensitivity in those parts. It's really enjoyable when I can just flow around the room, but it's so incredibly frustrating when I arbitrarily fly off into the middle of the room, nowhere near where I had pushed him to go. As for the ending...

    This was pretty funny, and unlike every other Vent video, it wasn't predicated on making the other people mad. It's weird to laugh ALONG with someone on the internet.
  16. WTF is Telltale's new game?

    I very strongly doubt it. It wouldn't be going through steam at all, which I'm pretty sure is required to get achievements.

    I kinda like this idea. We can eventually build an intercontinental underground rail to the old world. Those who want can stay where they are now, those who want a new world can move.
  18. WTF is Telltale's new game?

    Oh does it you spineless, soulless, fleshless bot? (I hope that gets quoted by another bot) I love Max in this game, and in general now, and Strongbad is making me want to play the Strongbad games I got in the Telltale pack.

    So SMP health tomorrow. Barricade your doors! I suppose that's if we implement it.

  21. WTF is Telltale's new game?

    First impressions: it's poker, it plays a little slow (compared to RDR poker), I don't like Tycho's voice, the other characters are good, I'm not as good at poker as I thought.
  22. Christmas Cards

    Wait, like in Dragon Age?
  23. General Video Game Deals Thread

    Amazon is having Black Friday sales already, Amazon UK is getting them too, but different sales I believe. Keep an eye out, I'd post that Civ V is on sale, but there isn't a whole lot of time left I don't think. For UKers - Fallout NV and Civ V are both 20 pounds off.
  24. Kinect

    Damn I just came to post that. Still, if Kinect sells, it'd be kind of miraculous what Microsoft did in just two console generations.
