I'd read it.
I'd also recommend Middens, which started out as a Yume Nikki fangame on that very forum, but eventually became a wholly different beast, though still very surreal (there's way more dialog than there will ever be in any YN fangame, and the deuterogonist is a talking magnum).
There is not enough laughter in the world to respond to this statement.
^^ First I'll have to find a good game. This Me one is pretty good but I'm already halfway through so it wouldn't make sense to liveblog it
Are people actually bitching that the new XCOM replicates the worst part of the original?
[But the panic chain reactions were fun! Sort of.]
Gonna have 50 bucks for gaems on Steam. What get?
I was thinking about Walking Dead, since you guys seem to enjoy it. Do I need to know the show or comic to enjoy?
Also Portal 2 and Fallout New Vegas have been on my list for a while. I'll probably get those.
What's so great about Walking Dead anyway?
Seconding that recommendation, as well as the Alan Wake one.
I keep hearing the name Alan Wake but I don't know enough about it. let me research.
It does horror really well by forcing you to make difficult choices (not good or evil so much as varying flavors of bad results), often with very little time to do so.
I see.
Not at all. The game takes place in the same world as the comics, and one or two characters show up, but you wouldn't be lost at all if you went in without prior knowledge.
A lot of reasons. It's probably the best piece of zombie fiction I've ever seen. I'm kind of tipsy so I'm not going to write a ton, but it's really well written, especially compared to the show. It's actually pretty horrifying, and really emotional.
Also, they did the impossible and made the token kid who the protagonist has to protect the best character in the whole thing.
EDIT: There was a whole page that I didn't realize was there. :l
Yeah, I'm not too interested in zombie games, but I trust Telltale to write a good story.
> 50 bucks to spend on Steam
Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams: $13.49

Ys Origin
Recettear: an Item Shop's Tale
Chantelise: a Tale of Two Sisters
Fortune Summoners
Fairy Bloom Freesia
Aquaria
Crayon Physics Deluxe

Terraria
I've kinda given up on Marathon Eternal.
The game's mostly alright as a game. That is, mechanically. The story however just....it reads like bad fanfiction, it really does. There's the generic villain OC, everyone being wildly out of character (Tycho as genuinely selfless, helpful, and un-rampant? Yeah, not buying it. I'm sure this is explained away at some point but I'm not sitting through 52 levels of this bullshit). The biggest crime of all is that the terminals are simply boring to read. Gone is the odd metaphors and weird tangentally related tales, it's all boring, dry exposition. And the attempts at making everyone out to be SUPER CHESSMASTERS is just blah.
I'm not sure why this is so highly regarded. It comes nowhere near the original trilogy in terms of quality.
Also the upbeat dance-influenced electronica soundtrack is really dissonant to the mood of the game.
Tycho wasn't rampant until he was captured by the Pfhor.
People talking about Marathon's story always kind of confused me.
I played Marathon once. Got like an hour in. Didn't encounter a story. I don't know if there was something that was failing to load or if I was playing a different game called Marathon or what, but I've always felt like I'm missing something.
I suppose that's true.
It's still really, really weird seeing him all butlery.
Still, that's probably the least of my gripes with the mod.
ProTip: you should read the terminals.
Okay. I'll keep that in mind if I try it again.
I barely remember it, but I basically went in with no introduction and just sort of played for a bit then stopped.
Here's the story outline.
The full story is the equivalent of seven of your doctoral theses.
I think I'm going to download the original trilogy and play some of that. Infinity is the best, if you want my opinion, but it's also impossible to blind jump into.
Okay, so I'm dicking around on Kongregate, and they just badged this
http://www.kongregate.com/games/turboNuke/american-racing
It's a pretty dull game, there's no way to improve your terrible maneuverability, and the camera is constantly spazzing out and pitching all over the place like it's having a seizure. But the part that bugs me the most is that it's supposedly American stock car racing and all the fonts are decorated with 'MERICA flags and colors and stuff, but the tracks are all named ridiculously British things like Chesterfordshire. Like seriously, about 3/4 of the track names end in "C(h)ester", "Ford", or "Shire", or "Ham".
For some reason, I was reminded of this game.

Play this shit, you won't regret it. It's an authentic piece of dada art, and hilarious as hell.
Hey
Ford and Ham are very american concepts
I did play that one. It got old pretty fast, but it was funny.
I did love how you basically win the last race by STABBING EVERYONE ELSE TO DEATH.
My friends are convincing me to go back to League Of Legends.
Pros for 4: I like its feelies a good deal more.
Cons for 4: Will probably finish the game before it arrives; it costs $200.
Pros for 5: Would be able to use its reference materials while playing instead of loading tons of PDFs.
Cons for 5: I don't like its feelies quite as much.
Thoughts?
See a doctor.
