  3. Hawken, or: Fuck Me, Mech Games Are BACK!

    I can understand that the game uses a heartbeat sound effect to build tension in the player, it just doesn't make very much sense to me in the world. It was simply something that stood out to me at the time; i'm not saying "GO BACK AND REMOVE THAT GOD DAMN HEARTBEAT SOUND EFFECT, IT RUINS THE GAME IDIOTS!!" that would be ludicrous.

    Gah, that high pitch tone is so damn annoying.

  6. The threat of Big Dog

    I doubt Jake even reads this thread anymore, probably just sees it constantly reappear in the Idle Banter section and weeps.

    You weren't trying to sell your song commercially through a company though, were you? Bottom line is, if you are trying to get people's money off them they have every right to express their opinion.
  8. Hawken, or: Fuck Me, Mech Games Are BACK!

    God damn if that game doesn't look and sound incredible, when that huge ship flies in it's damn impressive and those turret animations look awesome. I can appreciate that it's still in development, but I really hope they a lot more work into the HUD/cockpit, it looks kind of awful. I also can't understand why you get a heartbeat when you get low on health if you're a mech. Apart from that though, that game looks beautiful and the gameplay seems like it could get insane in larger battles.

    This song is great, but it has this really weird music video. Contains partially naked hippies and other weirdness. CBI7VOd-VeE

    Japanese learners appear! The Mission Impossible theme started playing as I started typing this, amazing. I was just going to say, it does feel like you are a wizard when you can decipher the code. I need to learn this technique. I have a book with 300 kanji in it, so far i've gone through like 10. For some reason I hate the look of Katakana, i'm scared to learn it in case it pushes Hiragana out of my brain. Thanks!

    C-c-c-c-combo breaker! I've mastered Hiragana (The Japanese writing system), I only have Katakana and ~3000 Kanji to learn before I can read a newspaper.
  13. Idle Thumbs Camping

    GoLive is terrible in my opinion, it's cluttered and overwhelming. Instagallery is cleaner, I quite like it. However, they both fall into the 'I'm an internet designer, therefore this website must have either: A. A leather or wood texture for the background. or B. Old advertising style art to communicate my point.' trap. I think design has become far too homogenous, sure, both those things can look nice, but that doesn't mean every website should have them. Anyway, I don't see why this website for a camping site in rural England should follow either GoLive or Instagallery's examples. Why not make something appropriate for the thing you're trying to sell instead of something that looks like every other designer's wet dream? Keep it simple stupid, as the saying goes.
  14. Awesome stuff guys, I haven't seen that server since... ages ago. Screenshots 1 and 2. (I added the Congrats Nick)

  17. EA Presents

    Old thread is old. Activision Presents: "Bobby Quixote" - Bobby Kotick goes insane and runs Activision as if he were a knight-errant. Includes Quixote's unforgettable attack on indie developers he believes to be industry giants.
  18. Dreams!

    Oh, hilarious. I can see myself doing that. On the subject of prophetic dreams, there's one nightmare that sticks in my mind as a particularly weird example: This is from years ago, I would have been pretty young (I don't really have a good grasp on time in my past years) and it was terrifying at the time. In the dream i'm sitting on my dad's lap in the dining room, he's eating breakfast and talking to my mum who is also eating breakfast. They talk about business and such and at some point I become aware that from behind a curtain that divides two sections of our house a skeleton is slowly approaching me. I proceed to completely lose my shit. I yell at my parents in that kind of 'I'm so scared I can't actually talk' voice and they laugh at me because they can't see this goddamn skeleton. I can't get out of my dad's lap and i'm just trapped as this thing slowly shambles toward me. I wake up. I get up and walk into the dining room, my parents are eating breakfast, talking about the same things as they were in my dream and my dad reached out to pick me up, I vividly remember freaking the fuck out and running back to my room. I didn't look at those curtains the same way for a while after that.

    Was there any explanation given? That's bizarre.

  22. Idle Thumbs Camping

    A campsite in the middle of rural England and an invitation from a man on the internet. Nothing could possibly go wrong.
