Apparently I had the best Tweet on the Twitter Wall at the 3DS Launch event. So I should have one shortly... or whenever they show up.

 

[Gazunta]

Yes, qantm sucks. But why did it cost you $20 to go to the city?

Public transport was, and still is, stupidly expensive when you live out yonder.

And they don't sell paper return train tickets anymore.

"Why don't you get a Go Card. It seems cheaper".

FUCK YOU. I LIKE PAPER TICKETS.

 

[Mush]

FUCK YOU AND YOUR CRAPPY PLASTIC. I'M SUPPORTING THE ENVIROMENTS BY PURCHASING THESE PAPER TICKETS.

I fully expect a blow-by-blow account of your victory tomorrow morning, evlcookie.

By the way, my fiance's flying to Melbourne tomorrow and doesn't get back until Sunday. I forgot what it was I even did when I was by myself. Apart from reverting to my foul bachelor frog ways for a few days, does anyone have any suggestions?

 

[Rezbit]

So jelly of Vook and the 3DS.

In Melbourne it's not, in fact my friend who lives/lived about 2 hours away from the city spent less than I do on tickets.

So uh, whenever the Crysis2 demo decides to work, anyone wanna play?

 

[Planet_JASE]

Now, I don't think I'm ugly, but I don't think I'm attractive enough to start talking to a stranger without it seeming creepy.

I neither think I'm attractive nor horrendously ugly. What I never thought I looked like was a rapist. However, the other night when I was out for a walk/run, some woman treated me like I was holding a neon sign that said "I'll have you. Permission or not." She crossed the street multiple times when our paths crossed on a couple of occasions. Not subtly, either. Stare at subject. Let him know I'm on to him. Cross Street. Making list of features for identikit picture.

Listen, lady, if you think everyone out at night is going to harm you, don't go out a 8pm for a walk, kay? Oh, and I think you were the suspicious one, alright! Why the fuck are you wearing a hat and sunnies when it's pitch dark? Huh? Huh???

Having said that, it gives the confidence a bit of a kicking. Do I look like a rapist during the day, too?

Resist the temptation to spoil all the Black & White stuff, that's for sure. I don't know how you've pulled it off so far, man.

I've gotten very good at looking away or scrolling down as soon as my brain registers that something is a spoiler. I flirt with danger though when I post in any Pokemon-related thread, though, and bail as soon as I see a pic.

Worst part is that my copy of White is on the same shipment as my copy of LSW3 for 3DS, so I'm going to have to wait longer.

I'm going to play Dragon Age Orgins for a few hours tonight.

I would enjoy that time much more if I had an idea of what shit I need to clear out of my inventory so I'm not left dumping a bunch of stuff inside dungeons.

I have a capacity of 90, and cleared out a bunch of gifts and sale-only items like wolf pelts, gems, letters etc; as well as all the weapons/armour I don't need, and yet I'm still hauling around 80 pieces of crap. Haven't done a lot of crafting and there's a bunch of random crafting shit - is that what I need to clear out?

Any other tips for inventory management? I hate dumping loot and/or making repeated trips back to town to hock my wares.

Hit up the wikia for information on the items themselves and if they are worth keeping around. Other than that I would recommend picking up either Wardens Keep DLC or Awakenings for the storage chest if you are into that kind of thing. Plus Awakenings is even better than vanilla DA:O. Really starting to look forward to picking up the GOTY edition of DA2 in 18 months or so, Bioware have been fantastic with post-game support this gen.

4/5. Approved.

 

[Doncamatic]

Mainly yes. I only really use herbalism, skip traps entirely and only use poisons that I loot (only melee character is my tank, rogue is an archer), so I keep a hold of elfroot only rest I sell/dump. Also I'd recommend the Bioware mod to place a storage chest in your camp, saves you having to go to Warden's Keep if you have that DLC. http://social.bioware.com/project/463/#details

That wiki really is great. I've been using it largely as a spoiler-free reference tome for the many subtle intricacies of the game, avoiding plot and character stuff. I'll have it loaded up on my MacBook beside me at all times while playing, it's almost part of the experience.

The Mass Effect 1/2 wiki is great too, although I didn't really pore through that until I wrapped up the second game.

You know what I want? A snazzy 'Codex' app for iPad that has all the codex entries presented in a whiz-bang super futuristic Star Trek style interface so that I can geek out and catch up on my Mass Effect infos.

I would buy a damn iPad just so I could use that. I would totally sit on the train and listen to the codex on how Krogans have 4 balls and could not care less how many grandmas look at me sternly.

edit: So the PSP can be used as a rear view mirror? Think of what Sony could do with their new tablet if they made it PS3 compatible. Imagine Ni No Kuni on PS3 using a tablet to read through a digital version of the magic book, with the touch screen being used to activate spells. Nice.

I'm reposting Gazunta's post from the iPhone thread to here

Hey guys, I wanted to give a shout out to a new game that came out on the App Store today. I've got nothing to do with it besides doing some early Beta testing, BUT it was made by a couple of ex-Krome folk, AND it's awesome

Poker Invaders - YouTube Trailer

It's called Poker Invaders, and like the title suggests it's a cross between Poker and Space Invaders. Aliens come down the screen, and to destroy them you have to beat them at poker.

Each alien space ship has a poker hand displayed on it, and you have to assemble a better hand with your available cards. It's pretty damn addictive!

It supports OF and GC and is 99cents on the App Store. YAY FOR NEW GAMES!

As Gaz said, it was developed by some of the Krome Adelaide guys, who I used to work with. Support Adelaide game development!

So I've gone from incredibly excited about Crysis 2, to pretty much not caring.

Limited graphical tweakability, issues with MP, no destructibility and linear gameplay make me go meh.

PC Mod community will save Crysis 2 for us! Also Steam sale at Christmas time for $10.00! I hope the multiplayer turns out okay as I hope Free Radical can get the opportunity to make another Timesplitters.

That Poker Invaders game looks more enticing than anything that came from Krome, booting up my ipod touch now. The Aussie iphone games have been quite impressive, hopefully it can become a viable platform for us (with eventual Steam/etc. indie titles).

There's only so much the modders can do, the game has to be as accessible as the first one for anything to be changed. Is there even an SDK or map editor planned?

The mod community did amazing things with the original and even if Crytek lock it up tight they will tear it to shreds and do whatever the hell they want with it, especially since everyone believes it has been "consolified". Crytek poked the bear with the half-arsed demo port and now all the modders will be clearing their schedules to create a Crysis 2 worthy of being a part of the "glorious master race". Should be a fun OT.
