In Duke 3D they actually begged you to kill them. This is, like most of what I've seen of DNF, a poorly thought-out tribute to Duke 3D.

I'm not paying for an MMO again until Guild Wars 2 comes out.

Are we seriously talking about THIS again? Piracy is not stealing. It may be illegal. It may even be similar to stealing. But it is not logically or legally actually equivalent to stealing. What's the mystery? Why are we talking about this?

Speaking of Dungeons & Dragons Online, me and Harri has been playing it recently and I'm really enjoying it. It's quite unlike any other MMO. We're on the Khyber server (EU and US play on the same servers) if anyone wants to join up. http://www.ddo.com/playnow/

I am completely convinced you could make a great, challenging yet accessible game in the direction that Bethesda is trying to bring Skyrim. But from what I've seen of Skyrim I'm not too impressed. The combat still looks very stale, which is really the first thing they have to deal with if they want the game to be actually fun to play.

IT IS TOO HOT. WHICH IS AN AMAZING PROBLEM TO HAVE!

I'd love to see you take your own advice.

FDS people are not downvoting your posts because they dislike the notion of druggie gamers. People are downvoting your posts because you're coming across as a giant douche.

I genuinely do not get why gamers who have already played the games get excited for HD remakes. I'm not gonna pay for a HD port game I've already played, much less one I still own in it's original version.

I love this game but here is the one real gripe I have towards it: some of the maps. Now, the maps are procedurally generated and most of the time there is no clear advantage to either side... And then you run into something like the start of the above video. It's a guessing game. If the opponent guesses wrong two times in a row, my rifleman may survive. If he guesses right either of the first two rounds I have no chance. His shotgun dude spawns right next to my rifleman and runs faster. It's basically a 3v2 match.

Myself I'd actually get it for the current price even if I had nobody to share it with just because it's so far proven to be long-lasting in multiplayer. I don't play it A LOT, but I almost always play it a bit

I would like to submit another smaller example of Magicka, where it gives you access to (most) of the mechanics at once and simply ramp up the challenge until you need to use it all. That's the thing though, most gamers I know stay away from fighters largely because of that.

Yeah sure an introduction can like all things be done wrong. Once again I submit Portal as an example of doing it fucking right.

Good game design: having the game introduce the player to the game's mechanics neatly without having it feel like a tutorial. Example: Portal. Bad game design: RTFM

I'd like to clarify this. I am genuinely interested in games as an art form. I am however less interested in the debate because it usually turns into a discussion on the definition of art.

This is the Grado iGrado (bonus points for retarded naming) Picked up for 50 euros yesterday. Really enjoying them so far. Really, if you're one of us few crazy people who like neckband headphones (I do) then this is the only somewhat-quality option.

Johnny's into fighting games in general... I'm just not up to date due to being unable to afford any of the newer fighting games at the moment.

Trackmania United consists of a ton of different tracksets that all feature different graphics, car handling and track pieces. Nations is my favourite and is the one featured in the free version. Everything from the free version is in United. United players can play on and host free version servers.

Indeed, I would even claim the free trackset to be the best... But the other sets in United are well worth paying for.

Anyone who enjoys arcadey racing owes themselves to try Trackmania. United Forever is on sale.
