    The Stanley parable. Cool idea but it wasn't a lot of fun. Playing a game again and again to get different mildly amusing endings isn't that enjoyable for me.

    Same, I did laugh a few times and its probably worth 5 bucks and not 12.

     

    I really enjoyed the game in the sense that it felt as though I was playing a conscious game. Imagine playing a game that were actually alive and could alter itself according to your actions. Thats what it felt like to me. I'd really like to see an intelligent game be made one day, the Stanley parable gives me a taste of that, even though that was probably not his intentions when he made it.

     

    For me it's been my game of the year - not chuckled so much at a game in a long time. I'm one of those gamers that wants to explore every direction and check out every nook and cranny, so this game that caters purely to that OCD exploratory nature makes me happy indeed. Plus I have so little free time outside of work nowadays, so something that can be enjoyed in tiny chunks is a definite plus point as well.

     

    EDIT: Love the ridiculous achievements in the game too - nice little dig at the current state of gaming.

     

    Needed more content and wasn't as fresh as the mod itself, even though the looks were. I'd probably be as excited as you if I hadn't already played the mod. A lot of similar content.

    Go home Nintendo, you're drunk:

    Had to double-take this when I first saw it, but nope - it's real. I realise it's for the kiddy market (no 3D, so safe for little Timmy and Tammy to play the Pokemons) but it just looks like a half-arsed bit of kit you'd find on a market stall in the seedier end of town.

     

    Nintendo is behaving like Microsoft.

    Microsoft-Windows-Release-Cycle-Sine-Wav

    They produce something amazing (Wii, 3DS) and then follow that up with some crap (Wii U, 2DS).

    There is probably alot of $$$ to be made by alternately buying and selling Nintendo stocks every time they announce a new device.

     

    A. I think that chart is missing some Windows builds and B. Windows 8 is a great OS. People are just stupid and stubborn.

  4. sooo Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs is due to be released soon. not the same developers from Dark Descent/Penumbra, but they have connections with that Dear Esther game. All these deeply philosophical first-person trip games.. just started playing Gone Home, but would love to be playing this using Rift. I could only imagine the terror of playing something like Amnesia with Oculus Rift in a sensory deprivation tank on a moderate dose of ketamine... that would be one hardcore VR experience..

    Gone home is amazing, beat it just a few days ago. It would do so well with the oculus rift, although I can't see what FPS game wouldn't benefit from it. I really want more games using more of Gone Home's style. It was just really fresh, and rewarding and you don't have to kill anyone to enjoy it.

     

    Also looking forward to A machine for Pigs. The title alone has me gripped. As a fan of Dear Esther and Amnesia I am totally stoked for it. So tired of all these killing games. Finally games with decent graphics and FPS where you don't have to kill.

     

    Minor Spoiler

     

    Gone Home has such potential to be a great horror game, not that it's current story isn't great just if efforts were geared toward something more spooky and terrifying it would be just that

  5. Finally finished bioshock infinite, I was stuck at the comstock deck level for far too long with the wrong upgraded vigors. Dunno what the ending was all about, but a fun shooter for sure.

     

    Also finished Telltale's walking dead and will be definitely replaying this one, trying out different choices, going through it with a different crew. It has been a while since a game's story, choices you can make, has been able to affect me, made me care about moving pixels :) .

     

    Now on to play Catherine, I like how the story plays into my onlooking girlfriend anxiety's about marriage and forbidden fruit temptation. Pretty mature subjects for a puzzle game.

    The ending is what ties up the the whole game. Once you realize what is going on it should make you gasp. The whole time you are left pretty much clueless and careless to all the things that are happening to you / small details and then 30 minutes till the end it is all explained.

     

    Also anyone looking for a FUN free to play competitive game look no more, sign up for League of Legends.

    The matches can be 20-60 minutes long, but the game is really fun. Its pretty much the only thing I've been playing with my friends this summer.

  6. Got my new laptop, but all my music is split between my old laptop and my external harddrive like 17,000 songs worth. It's gonna be a pain in the ass to get them into the library on this new one... I do have everything on my ipod though. Anyone know a good program that let's you extract mp3s from an ipod into a library? (I don't get why they don't just let you do this anyway, stupid DRM)

    If you enable show hidden files and folders you can copy and paste the files straight off your ipod to a PC. They are in a hideen folder on your iPod. The files will be named with 4 letters like XJCP or ICOK but they will all have the appropriate tags and show up correctly in your favorite music player. Also You can get foobar for free and try the ipod manager. http://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_dop

  7. I dunno, I'd say Raspberry Pi got there first - this one just has a bit more of a marketing appeal behind it. Plus nVidia are trying to get there too with their Android based console - http://shield.nvidia.com/

    This isn't a handheld, its on the big screen and Raspberry pi doesn't have the graphics power to do modern games. Although arguable, the PC could substitute either, but both are small and Ouya has the ability to power modern games. Plus Ouya will have an open development kit, meaning you won't have to licences to make games on it, thus more cool games.

    indiana university has a couple of unisex bathrooms. i always thought that was really cool.

     

    every housing bathroom at my school is unisex! even the dorm showers... it's like fuckin starship troopers in there

     

     

    does that lead to a lot of sex? =/

    Iirc we've been voted horniest campus two years running. Not like I would know, I'm certainly not having any of it. Fmllll

    What campus is this?
