Wubbles

Cutscene/gameplay dissidence becomes very funny near the end. Your worthless Marine buddy, for a moment, suddenly becomes meaningful. EDIT: Also, the multiplayer's fun if not a little insubstantial.

I've begun to read Infinite Jest. Everything about it is great.

Soul Calibur III was the best, though. Whichever one had Link in it was the best.

Here is a space review of Space Marine from Rock Paper Shotgun.

oh yeah

My first thought when I see a person saying is that this person is exaggerating their mild dislike of spiders so that their thoughts on seeing a picture of one ("Spiders are kind of gross. I wish I didn't see that picture.") are made amusing enough to merit posting. I do not think that this person is so revulsed by spiders that exposure to them leaves this person badly shaken for a while after.

Minecraft Facebook account says: "The date for 1.8 is expected to be released this week. I saw jeb_ scratching his head to make this happen. So it must be a good thing :)"

just teasing

They can't hurt you.

By the way, Notch (or someone else in Mojang) said 1.8 should be out sometime next week.

Fuck those games. Soul Calibur IV was terrible, also.

Everything is safe.

The raw brutality of life lost. 0l3wOT9cSg4

Right. See, the problem is that I just bought this hammer and I'm really itching to try it out.

Yes, but only because I thought you were trying to extrapolate on what a purple future said about Notch's work ethic. If you weren't, then ignore what I said.

What indicates Notch isn't working hard on the game?

He's not obligated to stick to a schedule in any event.

Space Marine seemed to have a very thin veneer: after about 2-3 minutes of gameplay, it was remarkable how quick any amount of novelty in the game became routine - basic combat is repetitive, the execution animations are repetitive, the Orks' barks are repetitive, and the environments are repetitive. I hope this stuff is emblematic of only the first few levels, because this is going to be a pretty dull game if it isn't.

Did you know you can download the demo for this game on Steam? I am sure this excites you.

meee

I'm pretty sure Notch and another programmer named Jeb are the only people in Mojang currently integrating features into the game.

@thunder: Huh. The idea of playing a female in a video game to ogle her seems so weird. That's never occured to me.

How are you guys doing?

Not to seem conceited, but could anyone could tell me what they think of that? No contempt or hostility, please.

I'm probably stupid, but I feel the more pertinent legacy of the poll should be that the Facebook voters, most of whom probably possessed mainstream sentiments about the place of women, appeared to take no issue with the idea of Shepard being female.
