  1. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    Oh god you couldn't be more right about that video. Absolutely hilarious, but I can't even articulate why. I lost it when he started chasing the kids around
  2. What was the game they were talking about at the beginning that supposedly looks just like diablo 2? Oh thanks for doing the video for us...games!
  3. Books, books, books...

    Has anyone read any of the Mass Effect books? I really like the expanded universe of that series, but I can't imagine some contracted sci fi books would be particularly interesting or well written. Can anyone tell me otherwise?
  4. Movie/TV recommendations

    I really want to watch the borgias because I love Assasin's Creed and the mythos behind all of that conspiracy stuff, but I can tell just from the trailer that it's going to be sooooooo bad. And not bad in a sopranos/entourage guilty pleasure kind of bad either.
  5. Crysis 2: Oh Shit.

    So almost every review is saying Crysis 2 is a better game, but hardcore PC gamers are butthurt because they feel the game was dumbed down because it didn't take advantage of all the new 500 dollar graphics cards? Time to get over it people.
  6. Movie/TV recommendations

    I'm about halfway through season 2 right now, and I think my favorite episode is when the republican lawyer, Ansley Hayes gets hired in, her first day was filled with so many hijinks and funny asides for all the different characters, that it's easily my favorite episode so far. Especially the president finally getting medical clearance and getting the doctor's permission to have sex with his wife again lol!
  7. Movie/TV recommendations

    So after all these years I finally got around to watching the West Wing. What a great show. I've been marathoning the dvds for weeks now when I've been able to find the time. Such interesting characters and witty dialogue you can't help but love it. Yes I know I'm about 10 years late
  8. http://www.gdcvault.com/free/gdc-11 I'm such a nerd for this kind of stuff after reading books like masters of doom, smartbomb, and following the duke nukem saga, and now we can watch these sweet developer post mortems without having to pay several thousand dollars. Thanks GDC!
  9. Left 4 Thumbs - The Homethumbing

    if we do it sunday night i can play
  10. Books, books, books...

    I've never actually read many of those dickens classics. I need to make some time for that.
  11. GDC 11 Panels available for free now

    Carmack is a true genius, but he's not exactly a public speaker
  12. Crysis 2: Oh Shit.

    I've been playng the PS3 version online a lot over the past few days, really enjoying the tradeoff between the different suit powers, and the clashes that result because of it. The only thing I wish they would have done is unlocked other game modes sooner. I've put 4+ hours into multiplayer and I still only have access to 1 non TDM mode.
  13. Duke Nukem Forever Canned [and then not]

    It's not like that list of games are huge, well known IPs, duke nukem wouldn't get buried.
  14. Duke Nukem Forever Canned [and then not]

    It's definitely not a PR stunt. Stockholders don't appreciate it when you fuck with their quarterly margins
  15. GDC 11 Panels available for free now

    i remember playing the genisis version of out of this world randomly as a kid, not really understanding it's importance or uniqueness at the time, can't wait to watch that one and learn more about the game.
  16. Life

    Welcome to the realities of a job in the games industry I suppose. I'm sure for most people in it, they are working on a game they'd rather not be working on.
  17. Dark Souls(Demon's Souls successor)

    The game can still be challenging, but it needs to explain it's core systems and upgrade methodologies better then Demon's Souls did. That was the only big issue with the first game. Learning how to upgrade and what stats affected what in different ways.
  18. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

    I absolutely adore this game and I agree with many of the poisitive things you gents have put forth. I also really love the story they've built for the franchise as well. I've spent hours pouring over wikis and forum discussions trying to understand it all better, and try to predict where it's going.
  19. Hawken, or: Fuck Me, Mech Games Are BACK!

    Environment textures look nice but the particle effects and animations look really iffy in that video. Still damn impressive for an indy project though, and if the gameplay is there, none of that visual stuff matters in the end.
  20. Demon's Souls

    That's actually the best starting class. Having that ranged attack will make things a lot easier. Don't be afraid to try levels 2-1,3-1, and 4-1, you don't have to finish all of world 1 before you try the others if you're stuck.
  21. Let's talk about all the tall people in the games industry for awhile Cool Convo Bros I was also cracking up at the will wright discussion. It's hilarious that one of his old panels was called, "The future of content" That's so typical Will Wright, such a broad and indefinable topic really, it would be like a scientist hosting a talk, "Applications of Carbon"
  22. Man, one conf grenade was deadly enough, but there's no way that pack of enemies will be able to survive a SECOND conf grenade! Especially when it rolls down the hill into them!
  23. Jake sticking his thumb in at 1:00:15 or around there
  24. Games to pod to

    I heard a grenade rolled down a hill.
  25. Games to pod to

    I listen to podcasts when I'm playing my sports games or Street Fighter 4 online
