Yeah I don't think that'd happen

Yeah I guess I'm saying that.

So I had a Gameboy Color as like my first console of my own ever. And for it I had Pokemon Blue, Pokemon Gold, Pokemon Pinball, Pokemon Trading Card Game, some Lego puzzle game, Warioland 3(?), Game n Watch 2, n maybe one or two others. I've gotten a pretty decent emulator for my phone, so currently playing Pokemon TGC again. So what great GBC games are out there? I'm pretty sure I've missed a lot of them. Oh and ones that don't require quick reflexes, cos it's pretty decent but it's still on a phone, not proper buttons, so sucks in that regards (as with all phone emulators). I still find myself tapping options directly on the screen instead of with the A/B

Nice watch, even if you're not a Burton fan. Still a few of those I've yet to watch (I guess Nightmare before Xmas is the big one). I'd suggest Big Fish if you haven't seen it. edit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SG23bVpw65o Via Jon Moose.

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/260688528/clang Looks kinda neat. Seems it's aiming for Move integration. And probably Source support too...

So is

Not really bought since I got em for free. Tom is off to US, getting rid of worldly possessions. I got second pick of his pile. He also sucks at looking after games n such so I'll likely find some of those will be missing discs, or the wrong discs etc. (for example in one of the cases we found my original copy of Demon's Souls...which means I have two copies of that now. Also not pictured is a Heavenly Sword case which has no game, so I'm using that to replace the "lost orignal packaging" version of Heavenly sword I got a while back)

That's cos you changed the image! But yeah Funnyjunk has some anti-hotlinking feature. Just finished download for me, so gonna watch it during my meal.

I'm not getting rid of the character, I'm closing the account. I'll potentially still come back to it in the future.

So if anyone wants my stuff hit me up before tonight (cos I'll be canning my account later tonight you see)

Just to throw this one out there, but

Pretty authentic.

Yeah FFXII is nice. I had a bummer moment in packing last week to find I was missing XII n X-2 and non of my friends had it. Then last night got a call that one of them did have it, just with their books, so I'm finally gonna beat that damn game cos it was pretty good (I'm like 90% of the way through, just I dragged out setting off the Bahamut stuff)

I'd imagine price depends on the developer. i.e Activsion will likely go "we're selling COD for £40" and Steam will be "sounds good". Whereas little fresh faced indie will be "We think £5 is okay price" and Steam will go "well similar titles sell for £15, want to try that?" (or vice versa). Which is another thing Steam can offer developers: Vast amounts of data n figures and years of experience. Origin is looking to pick up Kickstarter titles by the way, so it will likely end up with an equal quantity of high priced established titles and newer cheaper offerings as Steam has.

XI and XIV are the MMOs.

Thanks for the videos. I'll watch em later. Anything on why he seems to have such a cult following?

Thing is if you look at the Steam Top Sellers only 5 of them are running with sales, and one of those is just a slim 10% pre-order bonus (unlike Origin which charges £5 up front to pre-order). And the full price titles include stuff like Skyrim, Game of Thrones, n Max Payne selling at £30-£35 a pop. ARMA II is up there due to the whole Day Z craze, which shows how good mod support can be. And heading below the Top 10 you've still got stuff like Ghost Recon pre-orders, Modern Warfare 3, Crysis 2 etc selling for full price. If you've a high end product you can sell it for a high end price. So established companies can maintain their profit margins if they like. It's hardly like the sales are required (the latest two COD games never go on sale), so if you've a strong product it will still sell. It is mainly the indies that will want to sell low, but they're also generally offering a smaller product. Of course when they sell low and offer a product of better value than those established guys with £30-£40 games that's when it becomes an issue for the big guys. It's not that the established game, let's say Skyrim, might go on sale for £20 that devalues the IP, it's that the unestablished but equal contender that goes on sale that's the problem. See the fact that Diablo III (from long runner Blizzard, retails for £45) is being compared with Torchlight II (company is a few years old, 4 copies for £45). It's that the cheap indies undervalue their games that is the bother. It's also worth noting most of the Top Sellers have some form of steamworks support, be it as simple as achievements or all the way up to Workshop support. Origin has nothing comparable to offer either developers or consumers, at best a wide range of non-connected services like Battlelog, Autolog, Bioware Social etc. Aloso if you sell a million copies for $5 instead of half a million for $10, sure you've got the same amount of income, but on Steam you have twice as many people to market your sequel and DLC at.

Okay here's one: What/who is Mr Rogers? All I know is he's dead and seemingly every Americans kindly great-uncle. As for Daily Mail, that it serves up Fox News-like content while being an established British paper with a fancy looking logo might be part of the allure to americans. Same news, less stigma in reading it. Though the reputation will likely start to spread over time as readership increases.

I'm going to assume it's running on a Nvidia card. (Which makes the tags funny)
