  1. http://www.gowatchit.com/ With the endless number of streaming services available, it's handy to have a site where you type in the movie and it gives you listings.
  2. Agreed on Moonrise Kingdom. Brilliant stuff, except for the child acting. Then again, almost every movie ever has awful kid actors. It's a fact of life; you give a kid a decent script, and the little fucker will butcher it.
  3. With the overwhelming amount of content created previously? I don't know about you guys, but I have 325 games in my Steam library, and that's not even counting my PS2, 360, PS3, Wii and Vita games. I think I would be good for a year. But I can guarantee you that after that year, people would still be pirating stuff in droves.
  4. Any game from Valve, really. My favorite from theirs might be Portal 2. Deus Ex Human Revolution is multiplatfrom, but it had a specialized PC version that controls more like the classic game. Plus, it's only something like $7 this weekend, so jump on that. Bit.Trip.Runner and Super Meat Boy are great if you can handle challenging platformers. If you're an adventure game fan, check out anything by Wadjet Eye. Their Blackwell series and Resonance are on GOG, and Gemini Rue is on Steam. Into horror? Amnesia: The Dark Descent is a must buy. Not for the feint of heart. Atom Zombie Smasher is a top-down strategy game that is oozing with style. Audiosurf, if music games hold any interest for you. The Binding of Isaac is an excellent combination of dual joystick shooters and Rougelikes, with some cute, horrific imagery. Freedom Force: Campy, top-down superhero game. Frozen Synapse: Brilliant competitive game with completely randomized levels. Garry's Mod: You'll have to own a Source game like Half-Life 2: Episode 2 to play this, but you can do amazing shit with it, like building airplanes made out of bathtubs or posing ragdolls in silly positions. Hard Reset: Neat arena style shooter that will test your reflexes with plenty of tough, robotic enemies. Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis: Old school adventure game with Indiana Jones. Jamestown: Bullet hell shooter which asks the question, "What if the revolutionary war happened on Mars?" Lone Survivor: Dark, moody, Silent Hill-esque game where you have to keep yourself alive and sane. Overlord and Overlord II: These were also multiplatform games, but if you're truly looking for something unique and different, you'll want to check these two out. You play an evil, Sauronic villain who takes little imps by his side into combat, fighting various parodies of Tolkein and fantasy lore. Painkiller: No one does arena-style shooting better than Painkiller. Better than the first one, anyway. Don't buy the sequels. They're shit. Civilization V: An amazing, addictive strategy game that will have you playing until you glance up and realize it's morning and you never went to bed. Also, the best in the series, despite what some may tell you here. Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery EP: Just buy this fucking game. It's brilliant. Team Fortress 2: Completely free, and completely amazing. Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers: Short and a little frustrating, but there's nothing quite like it, and you'll easily fall in love with the world it's created. TrackMania: There's a free version on Steam somewhere. Crazy racing game; you can race with over 300 people at the same time, you drive through each other's cars like ghosts, the maps are all insane and user-created, and it's incredibly addictive. Trine: A side-scrolling fantasy action game, with gorgeous visuals and an amusing story. VVVVVV: Platformer that looks like it was ripped right from the Commodore 64, but the soundtrack and gameplay are truly wonderful. Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War II: It's a Company of Heroes-like RTS that makes excellent use of squad mechanics. That reminds me, I forgot to recommend Company of Heroes. Get that one. The Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings: If you're into third person action RPGs at all, this is a must-buy. In fact, it's the most brilliant RPG ever made. World of Goo: Puzzle game involving creating structures with cute little goo balls and leading them to safety. Zeno Clash: First person fighting game set in one of the most bizarre worlds you've ever encountered. I could come up with more suggestions if you want them. I own something like 324 games on Steam, so I have quite the library to draw from when it comes to recommendations. I also mostly left out multiplatform suggestions since chances are you've probably played stuff like BioShock and Batman Arkham Asylum.
  5. Sounded like Falling Down with less direction.
  6. http://rugrats.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Deceased_characters
  7. Alfred Hitchcock's "Dial M for Murder". Neat little detective story that takes place almost entirely in one room.
  8. Forum chat will be down for a while as the administrator is in the process of renewing the chat license. Thank you for your patience.

      It's a feature, not a bug.

      Say that to my avatar's face. SAY IT.

  9. Really? Because from what I read, it sounded like the problem was that some people were still restricted even after 72 hours, not that the "up to 72 hours" was a mistake.
  10. Oh yes, play the demo for Resistance. It's utter shit, IMO.
  11. http://videogum.com/543091/breaking-j-r-r-tolkein-ripped-off-harry-potter/everyones-a-critic/ TIL Tolkein can copy someone else's ideas from beyond the grave!

      Though I did like that petition to get Peter Jackson to change the name of The Two Towers because he was exploiting the 9/11 tragedy.

      Harry Potter was itself not wholly original http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_(film)#Similarity_to_Harry_Potter

      (it's also a huge pile of crap IMO)

      But yeah, total troll.

      deanb

      Yeah it's an obvious troll. Dunno why it took off the ground tbh.

  12. I played Lead and Gold on my brother's Alienware laptop once. It did the same thing; depending on whether you were on the red or blue team, the colors changed to red or blue.
  13. Wings of Liberty
  14. I'm just angry because I gave them money for this, and I no longer want to trust them with my money until this is fixed. And yes, you got those two definitions right.
  15. I'm not buying it even if it DOESN'T have it. Until they can get my game to run flawlessly on this behemoth of a PC, I'm not giving them another cent.
  16. Just died for the fourth time this week due to crippling lag. I'm done. I don't ever want to look at this fucking game again. If this is how Blizzard games are going to be from now on, I don't ever want to play their games again, either.
  17. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/5889089807 This is some next-level bullshit, Blizzard.

      Wow... Is botting that big a problem? Because comparing it to various MMOs, that's what those rules look like...

    2. Enervation

      Enervation

      72 hours? Really?

       

      What's stopping botters from purchasing like, 50 boxed copies of D3 and shipping it to themselves?

    3. MasterDex

      MasterDex

      Da fuck? Really? Good thing I don't buy ActiBlizz games.

  18. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/5889089807 Oh, Blizzard, why do you have to be like that?
  19. Big Japanese developer on the Wii U; "the Wii U gives the chance for many unique ideas -- using the control pad to observe bishojo girls, for instance."

      Strange how Nintendo's most recent hardware innovations can be used very easily for...well...these types of "experiences". Styluses, wand controllers...

      3DS anyone? Even the DS had some pretty ecchi stuff.

  20. Man, Giant Bomb absolutely RIPPED into Quantum Conundrum during this week's Bombcast. Shame; it looked like it could be good.

    1. P4: Gritty Reboot

      P4: Gritty Reboot

      It could still be good...

  21. Oh yes give me all of your Willem Dafoe. He's one of my favorite actors.

      Calculators are too mainstream, I use my MIND! (actually I use pen and paper but apparently carrying a little black notebook makes me a hipster wannabe or something.)

    3. Mal

      Mal

      What the fuck isn't or couldn't hipster anymore?

    4. fuchikoma

      fuchikoma

      I worked with a guy who had a watch like those, but I'm sure he didn't buy it recently. Certainly no hipster though - he'd just been working desktop tech support for the last 15 years!

       

      I just imagined hipsters carrying abacuses (abaci?)... "Yeah, I was totally using these before anyone else was into them."
