Damn, I didn't even know I could do that!

I like how Dead Space has moments that seem like they're cutscenes, but then you realize "Shit! I should be shooting! What am I doing just sitting here?!"

RIGHT, I read Axe Cop too. How could I have forgotten that one.

Touché.

I just used the screen-cap function on the iPhone and uploaded it to dropbox with the app. Screen-cap function? Does the ipod have that or just the phone?

How did you save that?

Edit: Booo embed fail

Telltale is doing 50% off most of their games right now. I don't know which deal is better between them and Steam. I guess it depends on what you want to get.

What's gonna stop people from just making it "blowscocks.com"?

It sounds neat on paper, I'll give you that, but from a consumer standpoint it just doesn't make sense unless you're a hardcore gamer, and let's face it, most hardcore gamers back then were depending on their parents to buy their games. Putting out an add-on that requires the other system to run? If you didn't already own it, imagine trying to sell that pitch to your parents. It was almost impossible. "Can I have this one system so I can play this other system that has different games from the first one?"

I tried to post a screenshot but apparently this icon only shows up on the app. Sorry!

tl;dr.

Yeah if you never saw the movies then you might be a bit lost. Still a good game, but it uses that terrible movement control scheme from Monkey Island that I hate. It's a little better, but not as good as the Sam and Max season 3 one.

I did love PBF, but oh well...Right now I read Penny Arcade, PVP, Lackadaisy, and Dr. McNinja. It used to be more but I don't really follow comics that never update anymore. And several finished their runs.

There was an icon at the bottom for posting updates but it's greyed out now.

They were announced at the same time, but it will be a good while before Jurassic Park. No clue how they intend to do it. It's definitely the most mature license they've picked up. And dinosaur chases are a bit hard to convey in a point and click. Who knows. As far as Back to the Future goes, I love it. The writing is great and it's just like seeing a fourth movie. I don't wanna spoil it, but I'll just say that a bunch of the classic moments, lines, and gags from the trilogy are brought back for the new story. It had me grinning so many times.

I keep getting images of Dr. Robotnick when I see your name.

Yarf's inspirational story filled him with the power of the spirit.

Hope the Steam version doesn't come with a free TF2 Delorean or something!

Oh god, how could I have forgotten Dante's Inferno. And I could understand Da Vinci Code if it was a puzzle game, but I never played it so I really have no idea.

Whenever a big movie comes out, studios scramble to make a game for it, knowing that it will probably sell pretty well. For some movies, whether the game is good or bad, it is as least conceptually sound. Aladdin is about magic and adventure, so that made a pretty decent game. Transformers was about giant fighting robots. That game was...less good, but at least it was appropriate. But some movies just do not fit the game world at ALL. There is nothing in the film to make you think "this should be a game." There was no game-like action and/or the story or structure of the film itself was incompatible with that medium. Going from next-gen games all the way back to atari, some films simply should not have even been attempted as games, but that didn't stop people. What are some that you remember? To start things off, I present you with Disney's Fantasia. Remember, this is not about BAD licensed games, it's about licensed games based on licenses that just plain aren't conducive to video games.

I just got back from True Grit. It was...funnier than I was expecting it to be, but given who was at the helm, maybe I should have seen that coming. Good movie, though.

I liked the power rangers game as a kid...
