You never tried lockpicking a crate, have you? I failed to pick one just the other day and it damn near blew my head off. The science behind how a wooden crate mostly filled with coins can suddenly and mysteriously explode is quite complex, but the existance of this phenomenon has been irrefutably proven.

So that means my blatant cowardice is a sign of true manhood? Sweet!

I would recommend anyone thinking about shelling out the big bucks for Braid, to look into what is possibly the greatest indie game ever made: Enviro-Bear 2000: Operation: Hibernation. Its completely free and you will get an enormous amount of indie-cred to impress your friends with. It really makes you wonder why we should put up with paying up to €50 for a so-called "real" game, when you can have this for free.

With Photoshop etc. it doesnt matter if you change your hardware or whatever. You can have it installed on 2 separate machines at any time. So if you reinstall windows, you just reinstall photoshop and it works. Change your hardware, doesnt matter still works. You have unlimited installs, you just cant install it on more than 2 computers at the same time. With this DRM, you run out of installs sooner or later. And when atari shuts down the support in a year or two, you wont be able to install it at all.

Portal was a good game with bucketloads of charm, or whatever you might call it. But the storm of praise it got was sheer, unfounded mass-psychosis.

yes, these covers are really...awesome *cough*

I saw the first episode and I am not watching this crap again. Its hard to put your finger exactly on whats wrong, it just has that Joss Wheedon vibe of cheese. Its also quite boring.

World of Goo is guilty of crimes against humanity for spawning an entire generation of boring physics-puzzle games. A lot of them being made by friends of mine.

Im not on a warpath, Im just surrendered by a lot of annoying people praising "Braid of Goo" as we more sensible people refer to the phenomenon. And yes, I tried it.

Overrated is when people start behaving like a game is gods gift to man, but in reality its just an ok game. Maybe even good in some cases. You cant buy that, its a spontaneous mass psychosis.

Swedes dont heckle, we sit silently and.. well, ok theres the drunken fighting and running amok in the streets after the game, BUT NO HECKLING.

It's true though, Portal was tremendously overrated. Not on the Braid/Goo scale though, those games should be ashamed of themselves.

Thats increadibly stupid. Professional software like Photoshop or 3ds MAX have limited installs in relation to the number of computers you can have it installed on at the same time, but you can install it an unlimited number of times.

Yeah, but when you do a small project everyone pitches in with ideas in almost every area. And you always have to account for what practicly and technicly possible to do with a small team and limited budget, you cant just let loose and take a leap into unknown country. Every step of the way you need a coder or an artist saying "we probably cant do that" 1. Lets make a teambased multiplayer shooter, in 3D but not FPS or OTS. Fast-paced action but some room for team tactics. 2. If we use UT3, we can do alot of these that by just working with pre-existing code. And it works really well with max, which is what us artists use. Making it top-down would mean we dont need as much detail in the graphics so we could get alot more content in less time. 3. Lets make the style more realistic than UT3, modern day with lots of tacticool equipment. Like cod4 maybe? 4. Story is not important, lets just say we have two major fictional powers of equal tech-level duking it out in a not too distant future. Sorry. Im not sure how coherent this post is, I kind of restarted it several times doing other things in between.

No, Im just sick of the "braid of goo is the best game evarh!! indie rulz!! LOL!!!01010!!!" sentiment that goes on over where I live. 9/10 of all game projects at my uni are physics puzzle games as a result of that trend.

Overhyped novelty piss. Not touching even with gloves and a pair of plyers.

The only way you can get a correct reading is if you compare men and women with the same education and career, doing the exact same job, for the exact same hours. Otherwise you're staring at patterns that doesnt actually exist.

Ive seen lesbians in reality, ok? And I think we should be glad that those women stick to other women.

I do it because its fun and also because I cant stand radical feminists. We had tons of them at artschool, I had a relationship with one and I HATE THEM. I stand behind equality and equal wages for equal labour to the max, but when the nutbags whip out the old "gender power order" bullsh*t it makes me sick. KAFTAN SMASH!! AAAAARGH!!!!

Yeah, right. And while we're at it, why dont we make like "E.R : Pallative Ward" which is just episode after episode of people dying horribly from incurable diseases. That would be tasteful and entertaining.

The fun thing is that woman have themselves to blame for 99,9% of this. There is no evil global male conspiracy that forces girls to study social anthropology instead of engineering, all of the fashion mags and tv supposedly encouraging anorexia are run by women for women, and female comedians are generally less funny because they have this idea that they have to cater to girl-humor because they're girls instead of just doing whats actually funny. (the last one is more of a Swedish thing, see Nour al-refai)

I was shocked to find that this website actually claims dinosaurs existed. Every sensible person knows god buried those weird bones in the soil to test our faith.

The only one we get here is that horrible spinoff that only deals with rape and sex abuse. Its revolting, I cant imagine what the hell they were thinking when they greenlighted that. You turn on the tv and its all: -My father raped me and made me have the child! Now my child raped my second cousin! -That's ok, I was raped too. Here, have some raisins, you'll feel better. And the average TV viewer goes "Sweet! This show rocks!" The only american cop show I like is Homicide: life on the streets, its really really good. ok so I lied a little: i also love miami vice

Boys rule, girls suck!

MY Swedes have invaded America and are about to go to India, but Im having problem with cities. What differentiates a fully buildable city from one where you can just have a goverment building and walls? It cant be population, Christiania has a pop of 1.5 million, but I cant build anything there. And
