Man, that does sound like A Thing. Though I actually just finished the game - my first time - back in January. I've been meaning to write something about the game, actually, so you can count me as... sort of in?

It's definitely the stupidity that gets me, although it's also helped me out on occasion! The most egregious incident I remember was when I backed off from an early engagement with about a dozen bandits. They were far too numerous for me…

If it addresses the AI too, I'm sold. :)

Call of Pripyat is fantastic. I've not finished SoC but I'd say CoP is the stronger of the two. Waking Mars is also splendid. My completion stats are currently at something like 120%, which I think is the devs having a bit of a laugh at …

Lulz. The easy availability of self-publishing has eradicated any semblance of quality control to the point that you'd be hard pressed to find a single reviewer or critic who will agree to review such a thing. Unless you have an existing pedigr…

Oh yes, I remember that piece! It was a good'un. I have vague plans to spin my love of science fiction into something similar focusing on space 4X games.

Trine 2
I played a bit of Trine 2 on the Xbox with AJ, and we thought it was no great shakes m'afraid. Hint: whoever is the wizard can just summon a crate, that beats almost every puzzle. :(

Anyone care what I think about the other three rooms, or shall I save my bullshit for elsewhere? Do kinda want to talk about them but discussion seems to have gone a bit one-sided.

On The Matter of the Great Red Dragon
I didn't interpret that the same way, HM. The closing passage I read as a communitarian commentary on late capitalism and individual identity, rather than a more specific critique. Ha, I was about to say "but I think you know my views on…

On mwm's OP: I would like to see a clinical sociopath hooked up to this device. That would be interesting.

HM journeys through the exhibition
And finally, the Matter of the Great Red Dragon! I've still not played TSWCE bar a five minute post-install check that it worked okay, so this is really my first proper encounter with Jonas's The Land of Dream setting. And I enjoyed it! …

I have less to say about The Conversation I Can't Have. I think everything you've said, HM, is spot on, and I don't really have much to add. Kink isn't my thing, but I've got friends who enjoy it and have read a bit about it…

I really like the writing of Duck Ted Bundy; the tone, the dark comedy, the smothering introspection. And the repetition... well, it could've been interesting if the game had featured memory of past actions and events branched as a result. I im…

Huh. I've gotten round to playing through the exhibition a bit later than I'd originally hoped, but now that I have (and will be playing EVERYTHING this weekend) I finally read this thread, intending to pitch in, and... HM has already said…

Earth Defense Force 2025
But the PC ubermenschen told me that the Xbox is just a PC in a shiny box! And I'm playing it with that controller everyone plugs into their PC. P.S - it's an awesome game and I'm really disappointed by the lazy reviews I've be…

TPP
Amusingly, TPP has now proven so popular that it's breaking Twitch's chat system.

Should I buy Humble Bundle XI?
I will construct a monolith in honour of Monaco. In Minecraft. Real construction work is hard.

RIP irrational
It does sound like an unpleasant situation for a lot of Irrational employees to find themselves in. I await with mild curiosity the first anonymous blog, interview with the press or (preferably) Reddit AMA.

Fair answer. Are you going to be continuing Counterweight with Joel?

Unexpectedly Political Games
It's not really come up in any discussions of The Wolf Among Us I've yet seen, although in fairness we're only two episodes in as yet. But there's already a lot to take from it about immigrant communities, political corruption, c…

Ha. I look forward to this latest post, given that I'm finally playing Dark Souls. Take all the time you need, dude!

It has been a while since the last episode but, uh, why?

All good points. A volume combining select old content and new could achieve everything you're hoping to do, HM, or a dual release using each to promote the other.

I actually found Civ5 more conducive to a peaceful playstyle than Civ4, if only because the AI isn't very good with the hex layout and can therefore be easily beaten with an inferior army. I.e. I can focus on building up my cities. War is decla…

I don't have the mohawk and sidies any more, and have grown a beard, so I probably look quite different now. But I found that old photo whilst searching for an icon and liked it! Also your high school friend spells his name wrong.
