I wouldn't remotely compare it to Monkey Island in any format or way. Well, maybe the humor. Twig is spot on though. It's why people watch Lorenzo Lamas movies. It's just so fun to see his world destroyed by shittily CGI'd velociraptors. The big recurring joke is that

I. . .shit, I really said that didn't I. Look, I'd just gotten back from a movie and I was doing stuff and. . . I'm going to go read a dictionary as punishment.

The King's Speech is a great damn thing.

Beat the Bad Company 2 single player. I still really enjoy the characters (I watched a friend play the first as was enthralled by Sweetwater) but otherwise, fairly standard "move through this location and shoot dudes on your way to the next cutscene" Still, not the worst shooter campaign I've ever played.

I hated, hated, hated this game in beta. I now have some 2.3 hours on it, and I only expect that to go up. Thumbs team, anyone?

Fixed your erroneous mistake.

Not having played it, I couldn't say. They bear a resemblance yes, but do those things even talk?

Oglaf is always pretty great, but recently, a new set, pair, thing of characters have arrived. The nurses are pretty awesome. I feel like they're a reference to something, and I just can't remember what. . .

?

KILL YOU.

(Normally I hate this phrase, but I can't think of anything else that fits.) What is this. . .I don't even. . .

I have been frothing at the bit since the Vanguard render showed up. My only fear is that they'll try to innovate what is already an almost perfect game. Just give me new graphics (not even amazing ones, just '07/'08, or at least something better than what it looks like now) and a few new toys to play with, and the occasional update. I will never play anything ever again, if that happens.

Oh gods, the flashbacks! ozYg8vDTmkc

Healing Beam Vs Arcane Beam at a point X metres in front of the 'party' is sort of my bog-standard co-op response now. Lots of goblins? CROSS THE BEAMS! Big scary dude who is about to destroy us? CROSS THE BEAMS! It would likely be beneficial if I could find a way to cross the beams without resorting to Life/Healing, because if I fuck that one up, in the time it takes a teammate to get an Arcane beam out, I might have healed the baddy. We got pretty adept at it though. It even sort of goes back to what the Thumbs were talking about with Little Big Planet. Hermie and I were on Skype (which I think is the superior way to play), but I also played with Purple without VOIP. If I chucked a healing beam out through a group of enemies, it might take him a second, but he would always intersect it with some arcane a moment later, wiping out a huge vault of enemies. Once you sort of instinctively understand and recognize element combinations, teamwork is a sort of fluid, almost synchronized activity. Again, worth the 10 bucks. (That's not to say it doesn't end in awful hilarity 9 times out of 10.)

Slightly buggy at the moment, but still incredibly fun. Patches to come in quick succession should solve that.

Has anyone seen "The King's Speech"? It looks potentially amazing.

A full Thumbs group. Dear gods. From the little that Hermie and I played, absolutely worth the 10 bucks. By far.

Well. Swedish + Intentional satire is bound to be really bad. (Especially since, as a denizen of the internet, and the dev not speaking exceptional English, a lot of what he hears is probably memes.) Meh. Also, Twig, what be your Steam?

Mmmm, stomach virus. Finally got to sleep about 4AM, woke up with a cold sweat about an hour ago and finally held some broth down. On the bright side, I have a house to design this coming month, so I'm happy to have some work to do.

I was just coming back to post and only because ALL OF YOU MANGY BASTARDS HAVE LET ME DOWN. But my faith is renewed.

Thiiiiiiiis?

Uhhhhhh, where did fascism sidle into this from? It's crass humor that I'm surprised they're getting away with, but not much more than that. Though upon re-watching, the game play looks. . .decidedly uninteresting.

From the music choice to the horrible pun choices (at least they didn't go with "He's really pissed" like I was waiting for them to do), I. . .sort of actually want to play this game again. Damnit.

Demolition Man. Fairly old, but still. Firmly in the realm of "So corny/bad it's good" Wesley Snipes uses the line "Say hello to my little friend" at Stallone, for fucks sake.

Rubber is. . .interesting. Worth a watch, though. I now present to you, the greatest thing.
