The Vine engineers must have dreamed about this day when ensuring all their clips default to play on loop

You're just doing what he wants, G! Don't fall for it. And if you could leave the lights and heater on that would be great.

Well I guess this hasn't been posted over the last page and a half, maybe someone here is yet to enjoy an episode of light or even heavy rofling to the powers of Cockatoo Elvis

Can you 3D print the badges at all? Is there a Nintendo PrintBoy coming to market anytime soon? For the 3DS. It wouldn't work on the 2DS because there are some pieces of Nintendo Magic Dust that can only be properly experienced in 3D.

Dude did someone splill some mustard on your name?

There's a distinction between being uncomfortable and flinching with discomfort

The Nintendo Badge Arcade is a fascinating thing: the physics simulation, the writing, the way it sidles up to the line and over it with incentives to put down for a bunch of plays and a wallpaper that can't be worth the dollar price (surely?) but oh man, and girl, does it ever take a long time to load sometimes

What level of analytic data can you see, SVM? Becoming Verified is essentially a proof that you are good at lending credibility to Twitter as a platform.

Also, Tom Chick is drafting the revised Half-Life 3 storyline

Seems like the generally accepted theory is that code breaking efforts accidentally skipped a step, meaning the Red Herring badge was obtained earlier than intended, something that encouraged people to keep looking for clues when really the finish line had already been crossed. Another complimentary theory is that the ARG was added only after Valve employees noticed people searching for one and decided to have some fun with it. This can be supported by a couple of things, such as the late date that Store pages were changed to house part of the puzzle's mechanism, and the Red Herring badge's "ARG?" subtitle. There's a good rundown on the Reddit sub's wiki if you want more -https://www.reddit.com/r/steamsaledetectives/wiki/summary

The community of volunteer developers over at Promods has continued to work away at its map enlargement and refinement project for Euro Truck Simulator 2, and released Promods 2.0 the other week. That means a ton of new roads, vistas, cities, even whole new countries to explore / topple over on / crash into / receive speeding and traffic offense fines in, and as it coincides with me getting back into ETS2 in a pretty fun way over the last few months, I wanted to give it a mention here. It's a huge free addition to the base game, and good for the ETS studio if my experience is even partially representative - I ended up buying one of the official expansions a good deal earlier than I otherwise would have. Thank you Promods.

Yah, check out the Half-Life 3 thread

No love for "SNEZZ"?

Had the annual red-dots-on-black-backgrounds, blue-lines-on-whites freak out the other day: What's wrong with this computer? Why are the colors messed up? Hm. Screen keeps blacking out. Is it a faulty cable? That's an inexpensive replacement.... nope. Is it a bad graphics driver update? That'd be a hassle... everything seems up to date but not recently updated. Has the graphics card shorted out, cracked, broken? Oh no. Please don't be the graphics card. That's money. Uh ohhhh Wait. It's a bit dusty in there. Better take the case off and clean it all up a bit before burial. > clean, clean, clean < Working again, hurrah!

Having checked isthereanydeal.com, Castorp, that definitely happened over the past few days for Tomb Raider 2013... brings the price more in line with Amazon's sale discount, whatever the reason.

I hope that Snoke guy turns out to be a product placement for e-cigarettes Spoilered the offensively mature cheese of a dad joke there.

Absolutely. But as long as we're talking Harisson Ford's Dr. Jones, that makes him somewhat related to Han Solo for me.

Good puppy sweater, Ming! Wishing everyone an appropriate amount of Christmas peace, as needed.

Speaking if which, is there a decent Star Wars equivalent of (or fan mod for) the Elite / Frontier space trading and smuggling type of game?That was my first thought when seeing the scene unfold. Didn't Amy Hennig work on the Uncharted series of games? Doesn't Nathan Drake have traces of the Han Solo cocky rogue character about him? And isn't Hennig working on a Star Wars project at the moment?

Don't stop believing!

So remember when Theories, speculations? Something for another film to explore, or something left on the cutting room floor .. er, hard drive?

Come on, let's get into it then! I'm fine with keep spoiler tags on until Friday, the US release.

Plus some of us now need somewhere for semi-informed Episode VIII speculations

I really want to talk about it but, you know, spoilers.
