  1. The Walking Dead

    I wonder if you'll have time to hear her reaction and react accordingly. I did enjoy how quickly you have to make some of those decisions, it made me really feel like
  2. New people: Read this, say hi.

    You mean Fallout 2? Wait, no, my mistake. No idea.
  3. The Walking Dead

    You're a terrible human being. Also, one thing I forgot to add: the voice acting/direction in this game is /really/ good.
  4. The Walking Dead

    I think so, yeah. I think your first playthrough should be completely instinctual, and your second more calculated and aiming to explore the gamey-ness of it. That being said, if you're showing your gf the game, then I'd save the game-exploration stuff until the third playthrough or something. Just go with the flow when you're showing people.
  5. The Walking Dead

    I've had this 'Reply to Thread' page open all day now, because I'm still finding it really hard to put my thoughts into words about this computer game. That may be because I've not written a review in a long time, because I haven't typed long posts in a long time, or because I don't really know how I feel about the game. So I'm just going to type and hope for the best.

    That's nice to hear, thanks man. Tell your friends or something.
  7. Favorite early cancelled TV series

    Am I the ONLY PERSON on the internet who thinks that Firefly is horrendously overrated and I can kinda see why they didn't renew it? I'm not saying I disliked it - in fact, I kinda enjoyed most episodes - but I never EVER felt like 'Oh man, I want to watch the next one right now!'
  8. The Walking Dead

    Save Doug!

    Let me know what you think! (Unless you've already said in 'rad', and I can be happy.)

    If any of you are interested in listening to the interview, it's available here.
  11. Gifts - Stuff for Free

    Ah, blast. Too late! I would've loved a code - currently trying to scrape together the money for the series before I chat with Sean (and possibly Jake?) for Buried in the Credits in the coming weeks. Curse my slowness!
  12. Movie/TV recommendations

    I have friends who went to pre-screenings who have been raving for weeks. I'll be seeing it early next week, and expect nothing more than a fun action movie. Contrary to the rest of the internet, I don't think Joss Whedon is /that/ special.
  13. Movie/TV recommendations

    (I actually really want to see Salmon Fishing)
  14. Movie/TV recommendations

    I, too, am going to the cinema tomorrow! With a lady! To see Salmon Fishing in the Yemen! (Next week I will see The Avengers)
  15. New people: Read this, say hi.

    Now THAT'S what you call managing a community.

    I did, yeah. Also, that was horrifically awkward so I'll concede there. But I just enjoy interviewing in person because you can see body language, get a rapport etc. On Skype all you have is my awful voice trying to be serious and stuff.

    Interview complete: I'll be posting it Friday at 6pm BST. I hope you guys like it. I'm really not sure as to how it came out yet - it's the most nervous I've yet been for an interview - so hopefully you guys won't hate it =)

    So later today I am interviewing Dave Gilbert for my Buried in the Credits thing; does anyone have any questions in particular they'd like asked?
  19. I'm still waiting for an Excitebots UK launch.

    Thanks, man. That means a lot

    A first is the highest grade you can get for a University essay. 40/100 = Pass (Third class) 50/100 = 2:2 (Lower second class) 60/100 = 2:1 (Upper second class) 70/100 = First (class) Basically it's a measurement of the quality of your work, like grades A,B,C,D,E,F and U. When the degree is finished overall, most people aspire to a 2:1 (it's a pretty freaking good mark, will get you into postgraduate courses at the best universities alongside a good candidate for the course) and a first is pretty great. I'm not saying that I'm amazing or anything - this is my only first class essay this year - but I put an awful lot of work into the essay and I'm glad to see it paid off.
  22. Life

    Finally got my essay about the importance of ethnographies in relation to understanding Soviet Russia and present-day Russia... It's my first 1st! Woo! 70/100 so only /just/, but a first is a first is a first!
  23. I know it's likely that everyone here contributed to the Kickstarter, but this wasn't a public progresscast. Maybe want to remove the link?
  24. Oh man, I had a beer with Phill two weeks ago! As someone who wishes he could get into strategy games, but finds it goes way over his head all the time, this is the best I can add to this topic. Sorry
  25. "Adults Should Read Adult Books" - Joel Stein

    ... Shit, it really has been a while since I read that, apparently.
