    Fifth Set of Titles Greenlit

    For some reason I'm really drawn to Distance. Not sure if it's my fondness of Tron that's influencing it though. War Thunder looks bloody impressive.

    Your favorite game of all time

    Someone mentioned HL3. Then there was valve-rage. Then Gabe's staffing levels got brought in. Then someone got some lube. Then things just got.... oh, um.... nevermind... Ahem <cough> yes, indeed.... Battletoads! Awesome game! :sneaky::cautious: [edit] Hahaha... Just noticed how awesome...

    Saving your game any damn place you like. Technically, I'm on the fence with this one as for some games it does absolutely fine. But there are games out there that, just like the regenerating health, it ruins any immediacy and/or difficulty in game. If you can save seconds before going into a...

    Playstation 4 thread

    I always preferred the PS controllers to the XBox controllers. Preferred the old N64 controller to both of them to be honest. It felt the most comfortable and natural to me. Try going back and using an old SNES or even a NES controller. Man, do they give you cramps! Weird, considering they...

    I've just been accepted into 3rd year at Uni. Which is awesome considering that I was hoping to be given 2nd year. I do believe I'm in a good mood, the first I've been in for months. :woot:

    Least favorite game mechanic?

    Oh man, that is definitely one of my most hated. Sweat pissing out of you, you're in first as you get to the final corner/dip/jump/stretch, you've driven a perfect course, only to clip a corner/lose concentration for a split second/fecking blink - and its all over as you come in fourth!!!! And...

    Post Your Desktops the "Willie will give you bananas if you do eet" Edition

    Personally, I'm too lazy to keep my desktop tidy for any length of time. This may help me to keep it that way. The fences also give a clear definition between groups of icons (I know, I could just leave an empty icon space, but I've already said I'm lazy and messy). Makes it much easier to find...

    Indeed it is. Found it on deviantart quite randomly one day. Will have to download a new wallpaper seeing as I can see the desktop now... take advantage of all that space.

    Least favorite game mechanic?

    Holy crap! I remember Asheron's Call. That game was awesome. Is it still going? I remember the support was pretty limited and a lot of the folk I knew that played it ended up quitting because of it. As much as I know where you're coming from with the classes limiting you in some ways, I've...

    Post Your Desktops the "Willie will give you bananas if you do eet" Edition

    Ah.... Ok, I was actually hoping it wasn't that haha.... Dammit. If it's something like that It'd require me to put some thought into it and I'm too damn lazy for that. Even though its just a 5 minute job in Photoshop. It does look cool though

    Post Your Desktops the "Willie will give you bananas if you do eet" Edition

    This is probably gonna sound like a really dumb question, but how did you get your desktop like that? Is that a Windows 8 feature, or can it be done in windows 7? My desktop is horrendously messy. I think It could benefit from that kind of sectioning. Reminds me of the old Windows 3.11 way of...

    Least favorite game mechanic?

    Same. Recent games for me that this has been horrendous and irritating are XCOM and Space Marine. The ones in Space Marine totally break the pace of the game and are annoying as hell. XCOM.... really? We need that many? Especially that early, and frequently in the game? I know of a few people...

    SimCity 5 Announcement

    Googled. Found. Applied. Turns out my problem was, indeed, SC4 disliking my multicore. Shoved ' -CPUcount:1' into the command line and it runs fine now. Cheers Vegeta. I'm such a lazy arse, it took a kick to get me to do something. Now please excuse me, there are matters arising in Boobiesville...

    SimCity 5 Announcement

    Yeah, posting here was more of a knee-jerk reaction rather than actually searching myself (I can be quite bad for that sometimes... being a lazy fecker probably doesn't help). Not really been gaming much the last few days, even though steam is running all the time. I'll try some of the tweaks...

    SimCity 5 Announcement

    Bit of a tangent from where this thread has reached, but.... I'm a bit pissed. With all this talk of the new SimCity, I reinstalled SC4.... and it crashes my rig. Every time. I get about 30 mins of play, then it dies on me. And I mean the whole computer, not just the game. The whole thing just...

    Playstation 4 thread

    Same. I still haven't changed from my PS2, which is quietly gathering an obscene amount of dust. Consoles lost their appeal to me a loooong time ago. Anyways, I don't see the point of forking out hundreds of money for a console for the privilege of paying 10-20 quid more for games that are...
