http://www.gametrailers.com/video/episode-3-pop-fiction/701341 So apparently Master Hand was playable in Melee after all!

Tripod, 10-sec timer. It's 2010, people!

Why do I sense an impending foot fetish uprising in the community? Also, Duckboy's not what I expected he'd look like :E

Ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

I'd get L4D2 if I loved the first one a lot, but I kinda got bored of it after awhile. Personally, I'm waiting for Mirror's Edge to get dirt cheap. I wanted to play it for awhile, but don't want to spend too much for a game that I know is pretty flawed.

I don't think tilting affects my drawings too much unless I'm using Painter and it's special tools, since that program has a massive boner for tilt sensitivity and realistic effects. I'm also using a 6x8. Only problem with that size is that when I switched to a new computer with a totally different resolution and aspect ratio, it took me a week to readjust. But it's really all about taking it slow enough that you can adjust your stroke on the fly, but fast enough that it looks smooth. So yea, practice a lot :V Today's warm-up was pretty fun. I might color it, cause I want to experiment with different tools and brushes in a few different programs.

I'm definitely keeping an eye out. I just got a super sweet desktop for graduation, so all those PC games I couldn't run on my laptop are playable for me now. Awhile back I nabbed Bioshock for $5, and I finally played through that on my new machine, which was nice.

I kinda like his voice. I don't even like grunge. And his tracks are all, like trippy and shit :< I'm still listening to 6 myself so I can't vouch for how good it is compared to the rest. This episode seems to be more revolved around ideas than gaming (the final segment is about a gamer with a 13 inch dick. Not sure where he's going with this yet in terms of "game ideas"), so maybe it's not everyone's cup of tea, but the earlier ones are much more game centric.

http://alifewellwasted.com/ So, the sixth episode of this show went online today. It's about game ideas, and I thought it was a perfect coincidence in light of a certain fangame idea thread...The opening hits the nail on the head (once you get past the silly game ideas that listeners suggested, which are kinda used to illustrate his opening and the fact that everyone and their dog has some great game idea). The other episodes are really good, too. Make sure to check out the B-Side of Episode 3. I think it's actually really cool and better than the "real" episode 3. But they're all worth listening to, really well made, and (hopefully) get you to think about our pathetic gamer culture in a different light. The EGM one is a favorite of mine, since I grew up with gaming mags, and when Nintendo went to shit, EGM was my new home until that died. Oh, and the music's super trippy. I love it.

Porn. It'll get my mind off of him.

That's like asking a chef to "please make my food not disgusting." I don't think any Sonic fan's asked for a storyline period. Absolutely not. "I agree but I'm going against the thing I agree with because...I feel like it." Welp, this guy can't be helped. I quit. You guys have fun with him. I'm gonna go talk with someone who's more responsive to words and logic. Like a wall.

But but but... all that other stuff I said! Point freakin' one! And point freakin' three! Sure, point two is subjective but one and three were entirely within the scope of reason! And you've blown them off! This is my critique of the baby fetish kid all over again! >8U

Yeeea. Uh... Look...Your enthusiasm is appreciated buuuut... 1) As we've mentioned, we have game creation-centric subforums for discussing projects we're working on. You're supposed to be posting your fangame stuff there and not here. This is where we discuss vuvuzelas and how badly we want to smother Sonic with a pillow while he's sleeping, forcefully pressing it up against his face, ignoring his attempts to break free, until his limbs finally fall and he leaves this mortal coil. 2) The world never asked for more Sonic Shuffle. Hell, the world stopped asking for more Mario Party after the second one. The current stigma against both party games and Sonic the Hodgepodge do nothing to whet our appetite for another one, let alone whet our appetite enough that we'd want to know exactly what time we'd get more information on said game. This isn't Smash Bros. Brawl. I greet the prospect of this project with the same enthusiasm as I would the blood-drenched ghost of Joseph Stalin riding a carpet of screaming babies. 3) People who join the forums and expect everyone to possess any give-a-fuck about their screenshot-less, demo-less project proposal (and that's what this is, a proposal, not a project), let alone massive amounts of give-a-fuck, usually don't finish what they're working on, and no one bats an eyelash. Anyone can get a keyboard and type up a long paragraph that basically amounts to "I'm gonna make a really great game!" The people and projects we pay attention two are the ones who aren't all talk and actually demonstrate the talent to follow through with their intended design. This is the part where I say "this thread is bad and you should feel bad", but since I already compared your game idea to a blood-drenched ghost of Stalin riding a magic carpet of screaming infants in the same post, I'll ease up, give you a metaphorical pat on the head, a hearty laugh, and kindly ask that you post solid evidence of your game's development when you actually have said evidence, and in the correct forum. Have a super day, sport <3

Does that mean I can report the people actually using them at the games too? Cause I would love to see them all arrested and all the bloody horns tossed into a fire.

Meloman. Lost him when we switched from the old boards.

Rap Battles are stupid. This guy, however, is even stupider. The original is even harder to watch. SHUT THE FUCK UP BEFORE I PUNCH YOU IN YOUR...TITTIES. (strong language, obviously) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXPomVf9Bsk Probably my new favorite meme. Here, Guile saves Microsoft's E3 conference: http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=iTYtH28esTg

None. If I want to play an old game, I play the old game. I paid good money for my new consoles so that I could play new games. It's like how frustrated I am when movies and TV shows and comics and shit keep getting remade into new movies because apparently we as a species have written every story we could possibly write, so we just repeat the old shit. TL;DR: Dear world: stop remaking everything. <3 PeeGee

I'd rather OoT not be remade in 3D. One, because I'm more interested in new games, and two, there are certain things I don't want to see in 3D...

THIS CEL SHADED. JUST DO THIS. SERIOUSLY I'LL CLIMB A WALL OF DICKS IF I CAN JUST HAVE THIS FOR A 3D ZELDA. IT'D BE PRETTY AND OLD SCHOOL AND AWESOME. But seriously, I like that they want to go with the impressionist style...I just don't think they nailed it at all based on what they showed. Supposedly things at a distance will give that effect, but they only showed off a closed area. I wish it had brush strokes for the textures; I think that'd reinforce it more. EDIT: I'm personally tired of instruments. Except the pan flute in Spirit Tracks, which was just so darn clever. But howling, conducting, and the ocarina weren't much fun for me, and I don't like how they've been grafted onto the franchise when it did just fine without it. It's not a huge gripe for me, but it's an annoyance.

Which ending? The final one after the Chapter 5 Zadornov missions? Annoying as hell, those were. Especially since the last one wouldn't unlock after I beat all of the available non-boss missions. Did a few of the boring bosses, replayed the Paz mission to get an A, then it finally triggered. Liked the second ending, though it's depressing to see Big Boss slowly become the guy from Metal Gear. First ending felt kinda bland, mostly because it kept going and going, from Peace Walker's reveal to the chase sequence to the second and third PW fights, and everything in between, it was pretty drawn out. Solid game, though. Only a few side missions left for me. Definitely skipping the bosses, though. Especially that brutal Monster Hunter one. Oi vey.

Eh, they're being very safe. However, Gabe Newell just took the stage, as per Valve's surprise package. Oh look! Portal 2! Not exclusive, but nice to finally see it. EDIT: So Paper Mario, Star Fox 64, and Ocarina of Time are all coming to the 3DS? Huh.

I just realized the Vitality Sensor wasn't shown at all.

Sony can. Nintendo doesn't have much for Q4 besides that Kirby game. But the 3DS definitely has me pumped, and the announced developers and projects for it are really exciting. No release date, though.

Cel shaded Twilight Princess? Sword beams? Yes please. Now if they'll let me pick my handedness... Still, looks like they're hitting a lot of right notes with this one. Interested to see what the press will say about it when they try the demo. EDIT: FUCK YES RARE STUDIOS FUCK YES DONKEY KONG COUNTRY. LOOKS FANTASTIC. EDIT: Okay, Project Sora's 3DS title looks awesome. Drop dead gorgeous, and the gameplay looks fantastic. I hope to god it's a launch title. I really want it.
