  2. Just from Staysicks "nitpick" on the homefront thread: Infant = a young child. birth to, can be up to like 10 I guess.
  3. Cue an early mission in game: Denton "There's a voice lock to the stronghold, what do I do?" Radio guy "Our intel got the passcode for that a while ago, four letter word, just speak into the lock" Denton "okay, what's the code" Radio "Sending it to you now" *beep beep* -DEUS- in-game message -use your microphone or headset to speak the passcode- player "ah bollocks"
  4. http://www.zavvi.com/offers/mega-monday/games.list?utm_source=ENZ-_2087121160&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=ENZ-_2087121160 So I'm looking forward to some major run through of games over summer, any of these worth pikcing up: http://www.zavvi.com/games/platforms/ps3/resonance-of-fate/10074062.html http://www.zavvi.com/games/platforms/ps3/star-ocean-the-last-hope-international/10072228.html http://www.zavvi.com/games/platforms/ps3/enslaved-odyssey-to-the-west/10174149.html Also I recommend: http://www.zavvi.com/games/platforms/pc/batman-arkham-asylum/10035801.html http://www.zavvi.com/games/platforms/ps3/demon-s-souls/10220178.html http://www.zavvi.com/games/platforms/pc/the-witcher-enhanced-edition-platinum/9996336.html
  5. deus ex machina "DAY-əs eks MAH-kee-nə" It's latin for "god from the machine". Since Latin is a dead language and there's no known native speakers alive, how it's pronounced is pretty up in the air I'd guess. also I'm unsure what "Deus Ex" stands for on it's own cos all it's missing in the "machine" bit. So "God from the", or maybe "the god". or "From god" maybe.

      I came to this realization back in the mid-90s while in high school. I actually thought I'd get into Digipen. I took a C++ class and hated it after a week. I eventually got a C and was forced to move down to a more generic computer science class.

      Once I got out of high school, I knew I wasn't going to be programming games. I thought I could possibly help with the design, but I didn't stay my highly artistic youthful self. I do hope that in Advertising I can possible do in-house for a company, but I'll go where the work is.

      I'm hoping to get in through creative means- I didn't think it was possible until Alex Garland got to heavily edit Enslaved, to the point where the dev team actually said he was indespensable in making the experience better overall and more detailed. That's my dream job, basically (though I'd love to make games in general, will never happen and can't really happen).

  9. I'd imagine for ladders it's an animation thing. I can't 100% remember for Deus Ex, but I'm pretty sure it's like most FPS games of it's time where you just sort of magically glide up and down without the use of hands or feet.
  10. heh, they getting in some cross post action, bulk up stuff spread the page hits.
  11. http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/03/19/wot-i-think-homefront-single-player/ Was tweeted as "Wot John Thinks about Homefront: http://is.gd/wlLepD. All four hours of it."
  12. Supposedly there's a quake due to hit along the San Andreas fault "soonish" but that's "soon" on a planet scale, so could be days could be months. But in general these' supposedly come in pairs over the past year or so and san andreas is the only side of the tectonic plate the last years of earthquakes have been on, Japan included, yet to be affected.
  13. btw: http://www.pomwonderful.com/the-greatest-movie-ever-sold/
  14. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzHQ2cTjxNA A look at the different playstyles of the game. I'm not a fan of "HEY I'M AN INTERACTIVE OBJECT!!!!!", hopefully it can be turned off in-game. And for those who are curious and don't pick up on it this is a PS3 run through.
  15. Bide btw is a horrible move. If you don't time it right you end up attacking instead of leering/growling when someone uses it. And unless you then kill them in the second blow, they kill your pokemon outright, even if you're a few levels higher.

    Steam

    Well in working backwards, Darksiders should be $7.50. £5 = $8.
  17. Is it even really possible to hide your games these days. Smartphone n handheld games must be about it these days. Console games have trophy n achievements that'll track all your moves. And on PC Steam does pretty much the same. Even more "screwed" if you use stuff like Raptr.

    Steam

    Well MNC works out right in that aspect (though maybe in favour of euro users there, it's right for £=$). But the Darksiders one seems iffy to be that price. Actually $10 = €7.00/£6.16. So Euro users get it for the most, selling at €7.50, US just after, then us £ users get it the least, especially when you realise about 17% of that is tax the US don't have.
  19. I don't think I have any. Pretty open on all the games I play and not very embarrassed of any.

    Steam

    He's Irish, uses Euros, thus it's the same across the board on Steam. (Darksiders is actually £5 for us, so I'd guess that I'm not far off the truth and it is $/€7.50. MNC is £6.69)
  21. You have a very impressive head of hair.
  22. Well if you're all ganging up I've got an event set up for Sunday for those with the game (and an thread in Event Planning)
  23. Yeah, MNR is a pretty competent kart racer. Looking forward to putting some time in with it over summer.
  24. Yeah my lillipup is on par with with Snivly in level cos he's so good against other pokemon. Bummer is when trying to level up rest of my team if I come across another lillipup they kinda kick my ass.
  25. oh btw. This guy is awesome. not so much. Oh I also hate the resolution of the rear pokemon sprites. They're really low. Why'd they do that?
