Fitness is alright, put a couple of kilos on since winter and haven't been riding around. Nothing to worry about, after 2 years of straight loss and losing 78kgs it had to rebound sometime.

Me Me Me ! I have internet access again!Gazunta said:Who here feels up for beta testing a website? No prizes, no rewards but the warm fuzzy glow of helping a Gazunta. It's not exactly the most complex site in the world either
I know it's going against the AusGAF rules but the site is games related.
Also Vook expect a steam gift. IF you accept my friend request

You should. The first few were written over such a long period of time that they are really enjoyable to see how King changed over the years, what direction his writing was going, who was influencing him at that point, etc. The last few books were bashed out fairly quickly considering everything that he went through. The graphic novel (comic) extrapolates on the early part of the story REALLY well. I recommend the comics just as much as the early books.legend166 said:

Man, Steam really needs better searching options. I was wondering what sort of stuff my HTPC could play, and what would be suitable to play with a gamepad. I'm still wondering.

Take on an apprentice to do your shitty jobs such as achievement whoring or game completion. Works well with movies that all your work mates quote too. They can make up nice little summary cheat sheets.Bernbaum said:
Also, I think I don't like video games anymore.
I played Portal 2 and I could see it was an exceptional game. All the pieces were there, it was immaculate and yet I felt nothing.
Oh, and it's bedtime. That means HOURLY CARCASSONE IPHONE PUSH NOTIFICATIONS MOTHERFUCKER between now and getting off the train for work tomorrow.

Oh, I thought I already mentioned but I guess not: I'll beta test Gaz. I've done it before many times for my sister's boyfriend's web design business.

You're now me Bern, CONGRATS!
Also is anyone else interesting in a regegade ops 4 pack over steam? There's x3n and myself so far. $10 for the game or if you're real cheap you can try get it from the US for $7.50.
Fuck it's foggy and frosty in Melbourne this morning, I can't feel my face D:

I still like video games and had pretty much the same reaction. The game was polished, smart, well put together, but emotionally it wasn't really there.Bernbaum said:
It started off well, but mid-way through the game lost any emotional connection I had to it. I still enjoyed it, but it was more a tech demo than an engaging game.

This time around it always felt like people were spazzing out just because it was Portal and that's what you do when a Portal game comes out.
I still haven't played it.

Portal 2 was meant to have emotion? Considering all the characters were damm similar to each other and it tried way too hard to be funny, It was flawed in the emotional attachment aspect you're trying to sell.
Portal 1 barely had any emotional aspect to it either apart from the silly companion cube. Glados wasn't something to be loved or even hated, it was just there.
There was nothing emotional about either game.

It was humourous, sure, and Wheatley was a fantastic character. The early part of the game, what with the
was great, but as it wore on it became more a lonely experience without much to hold me emotionally.
Not to say I didn't enjoy it, but it just felt kind of... hollow, without much depth.
escape from the box, when you first meet GLaDOS again, etc

Bern you need to play Rainbow Islands, that's what I always do when I hate games.
Nah it's cool your tastes are changing. Also I can't overestimate how much of a difference the iPad and even the iPhone has made to my daily gaming habit. Instead of flicking on the Xbox and subjecting the wife to games about moving sand around on the TV I just play
Carcassonne, Drop 7 and the EXCELLENT Magnetic Billiards on the iPad.
And I'll start sending out PM's now about the site testing. Thanks lads, don't get too excited
I play Rainbow Islands every day

I think most games with a story need some sort of emotional hook to make you invested, yes. You don't have to like the characters, but you have to feel something toward them.Omi said:

It's an interesting series, some parts of the story drag though and i find King's writing to be hit and miss.legend166 said:
A few of the books are completely different in tone/setting and I actually found those to be the best. There are much better fantasy books out there but they are worth a read.

Well yes, if it's not fun then the rest falls by the wayside along with that.Omi said:

I think I enjoyed co-op more than the single player in Portal 2.
Choc said:in other news, Omi did you see West Ham and Millwall fans joined together to protect Upton Park from looters
crazy times we live.
Also 90% of PL is on @ this stage and all of championship.
Hehe no, I didn't see that, did watch a video on the Guardian of the Millwall guys 'protecting' Eltham however.

I found parts of it funny, There's no question on that. It just felt tiring after so many hours and for some reason every character started to feel the same. They all had their own little witty remarks but that's all it really was, which is why it felt like it was trying too hard to be funny. Lots of one liners and little else.
