  1. Recettear: An Item Shop's Sale

    I also just completed the game. It's so damn wacky. I love it though.
  2. Awesome Medical Breakthroughs Thread

    NVidia to the rescue!
  3. The threat of Big Dog

    So for some reason today I decided to find out what the fuck was up with that hologram concert. Turns out the hologram girl is Hatsune Miku, the song is The World Is Mine and the hologram is being projected onto a screen. Here are some links if you care to learn way too much about it. Behind the scenes Also, don't click the spoiler tag text below unless you wan't to bring the full horror of that concert/song to bear.
  4. Life

    So my dog got put down today. He was pretty old and his spine basically gave out, it's really depressing. I'll miss him, but at least he doesn't have to suffer. My avatar is an accurate representation of my face.
  5. GOTY.cx 2010

    I disagree, there was nothing wrong with it as far as i'm concerned. From immersion of the gas mask to the awesome oddity of the light pump and objective list lighter I loved all of it.
  6. World of Poo

    It's a trap.
  7. Steam Trezer Hunt

    5 so far, might as well do it even though I won't actually win.
  8. Cataclysm

    You should watch the hour and a half Gran Turismo 'Quick' Look.
  9. GOTY.cx 2010

    GOTYs 1. CODBLOPS - Don't really need to explain this one. 2. Just Cause 2 - I love the world and the crazy addictive properties. (Guess who got all the achievements. This guy.) 3. Metro 2033 - I've said it once before but it bears repeating, this game is Half-Life 2, Cryostasis and all the S.T.A.L.K.E.R games jammed together by crazy Ukranian mans. Honorable Mentions: 1. Cataclysm - I've only played the beta so I can't really call it a GOTY and I can't really call it a 'would have been GOTY' so it's got to be an honorable mention. 2. Bad Company 2 - I don't really like it quite enough to call GOTY on it, but I do have to mention it, if only for it's graphics and sounds which are both pretty stunning. and of course 3. Recettear - I can't really give this on of my precious GOTY spots, but damn, this game is great. Games that WOULD have been GOTYs (If i'd played them): 1. Red Dead Redemption - One day I might get to this game, I really hope I do. 2. Episodes from Liberty City - I might pick this up during the Christmas Steam sale, so maybe i'll get around to it. 3. Poker Night at the Inventory - Purely for the level of thumbs involved in it's development I must give this the benefit of the doubt. Dishonorable Discharges (From the anus of the video games industry): 1. Plain Sight - For being probably the worst 7 minutes of my life I cast this game into the pit of oblivion that is the uninstalled games list on Steam. 2. Medal of Honor - The game had real promise and the singleplayer did turn out pretty well all in all, but the multiplayer was the second worst (Only behind Plain Sight) online experience of my life. 3. Half-Life 2 Episode 3 - For not releasing for yet another year. (I still love you Valve) Douchy extra game: Minecraft - Because fuck you! That's why.
  10. Cataclysm

    An actual QL. Amazon has shipped...
  11. Kinect

    But the quality and finesse of movement looks so much greater than the Wii, they are tracking that controller to tiny detail.
  12. Never playing Super Meat Boy again.

    Probably actually want to make a list of games that AREN'T safe, that's way more relevant and would have far fewer entries.
  13. Kinect

    The future of video games. Watch the second video to know what the hell it is, then watch the World of Goo video. Honestly, that's the first motion sensor i've genuinely wanted.
  14. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    That looks exceedingly dangerous, absolutely terrifying and awesome.
  15. Cataclysm

    http://www.giantbomb.com/a-tour-of-wow-cataclysms-brand-new-azeroth/17-3570/ Hurry up Amazon.
  16. The threat of Big Dog

    She doesn't look disturbed at all, she looks bored. Hell, she even yawns at 2:04.
  17. Recettear: An Item Shop's Sale

    This game has destroyed me and I managed to drag SpeedyDesiato down with me. I've never been a fan or JRPGs or cutesy anime stuff but this game does enough to overcome my dislikes and be highly addictive. The game is also NUTS. Buy it.
  18. Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale

    Dayum. Delete this thread please.
  19. The Dancing Thumb (aka: music recommendations)

    I feel like Teenage Bad Girl are more crazy and unwieldy while Justice's music is very controlled and shaped but extremely over pronounced and grandiose. Most of those words were adjectives.
  20. The Dancing Thumb (aka: music recommendations)

    YES! God I love Justice.
  21. Metro 2033?

    I might as well just spoiler tag all of this, so if you don't want to read how I got past the bridge part with ninja awesomeness don't click the black text below!
  22. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    I'm simultaneously crushed and inspired. I've dabbled with kinetic typography because for some reason it melts my brains and I love it but I don't have anything anywhere near the talent and creativity required. I hate myself.
  23. An Idle Thumbs Christmas Song Proposal

    Agreed. I would contribute, but I really can't sing. Really.
  24. Metro 2033?

    When I got past that bit by being the world's most badass ninja I felt like an awesome person, but when I was bashing my head against it a million times in a row to precisely execute every step of my plan perfectly I hated it with all of my being. Although that generally describes my entire experience with this game.
