    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    I'm playing Minecraft, LIKE A BOSS.

    What's your GOTY?

    Far and away the winner IMO: Minecraft. Runners up were Pokemon Soul Silver, NetHack and Triangle Wizard. Minecraft is just so INCREDIBLY addictive. Searching for ore veins, building stuff, exploring/spelunking, killing things, setting objects on fire, playing with dynamite... EDIT...

    Fallout: Nuka Break fan film trailer

    The vid IS definitely aiming for silly-dumb-slapstick but I thought it was funny. Not like I could take FO3 or NV seriously to begin with.

    Humble Indie Bundle #2

    I slapped down the caps for it, and I have to say Machinarium is wonderful, Braid's not bad, and Cortex Command would be incredible if it ever got finished, which judging from the DataRealms forums is gonna be half past never. Revenge of the Titans is a TD (a shiny polished TD, but a TD) and...

    Just discovered DLCs...

    DLCs don't do FO3 any real favors. The level cap increase from Broken Steel and Point Lookout are the only really decent additions. Mothership Zeta is just absurd and Op Anchorage is downright awful. ITG much?

    One Two Times Lucky Japanese Postapocalyptian Dies at 93

    Father Time finally accomplishes what Fat Man and Little Boy could not. This is why you go for LK 10, kids.

    DRM and You! Thread

    The number of people who don't know what DRM even IS, much less CARE about it, is still fairly large. The lay "gamer" doesn't give two shits, he just wants to play something. When it becomes a hassle to play something, he'll bitch and moan and then go ahead and buy ANOTHER DRM "protected"...

    DRM and You! Thread

    Microsoft sez: "Tired of GfWL's bullshit? Buy an Ecksbawks, enjoy a 1 in 3 hardware failure rate and a pay-to-play online networking service!" Someone should really do something about this trend towards absurd DRM. Dunno who, or what they would do, but someone should do something. Like...

    I enjoyed Oblivion way more than Fallout 3

    More like a successful headshot automatically has a greater critical threat range (16-20 instead of a normal 20) and a special critical roll is made to determine if the target is dazed, KOed or outright killed by the shot. Did I mention that this is under the assumption that something...

    I enjoyed Oblivion way more than Fallout 3

    As an FPS FO3 fails horribly. The number of times I yelled "FUCK YOU" at my screen when a PERFECTLY AIMED sniper rifle shot went THROUGH the target without hitting it has long since slipped my memory. The number of times a Raider has taken bullet after bullet from a .44 Magnum (ONE SQUARELY IN...

    Chinese Remnants HUH?

    That isn't going to cause a target to burst into flames unless he's been drinking Sterno and bathing in gasoline. It goes well beyond SCIENCE! to just "stupid".

    I enjoyed Oblivion way more than Fallout 3

    *Spot enemy* *Enter VATS* *Use up AP* *If target is not dead yet, kite it until your AP replenishes* *Repeat as necessary* Yeah. OK.

    Chinese Remnants HUH?

    That amazingly doesn't turn the gun's barrel into a molten pile of slag?

    Chinese Remnants HUH?

    After 200 years of ghoulification and relative isolation in hostile territory I'd say they've gone batshit crazy like every other "feral" ghoul. Here's a good question: what where the Commies doing all the way over in D.C.? Didn't we oust them in Alaska (right before the bombs fell) before they...

    The Only Olympian for his country!

    I am imagining elitist Austrian and Swiss skiers choking on their cocoa when he shows up at the Village.

    Borderlands

    It's enjoyable enough for now. Currently a Lv 10 Soldier. The Skag respawn dens are annoying, yes. The humor isn't highbrow but it makes me chuckle. I hate using a gamepad to play the game on the PS3, though (That's what I get for having a craptastic computer). It looks fine to me, though...

    You see: A thread.

    What kind of magical prescience must modern video game protagonists have, to automatically know the EXACT name of the perfect stranger they've just bumped into at the market? Simply amazing. Why, I remember the bad old days when I actually had to give an NPC more than a passing glance to discern...

    How picky are or should Gaming Critics be?

    Peer reviews and recommendations are the only ones that matter anymore IMO. Any magazine or e-zine that registers as more than a tiny blip on the radar of video game journalism is going to be prone to things like reviewers that give positive reviews and ratings to games that do not merit a...

    Can you really disappear without a trace?
