So you know I occasionally make dumb silly internet things. I've got a couple of them on my "dumb ideas board" (it's labelled as that) and need some people to bounce them off.

First one - thought Guardian's Comment Is Free has got so predictable you could generate their headlines, I Did Something Once Thus It Applies To Everyone... and then could throw on a Telegraph extra (where it's just "Why Owen Jones is wrong about..." and then a random word).

Second idea is along a similar bullshit vein, a fake product page for a "Check Your Privilege Home Testing Kit".

Third - I think it's the strongest name but I have no fucking clue how it'll work/what it'll do - The Shipping Forecast. Crossing the... well, the shipping forecast (radio 4 saying what the sea is like) with... the sort of shipping you see on Tumblr. I love the pun but have got no further.

[Hot Coldman]

Game of the Year is still between Metal Gear Rising and TLoU for me, and to be honest I don't see GTAIV changing that.

Still got to try Gone Home, of course.

I would be very surprised if GTAV can hit the same notes as TLoU, or hit them as well as TLoU.

1. TLOU
2. Bioshock Infinite (yeah i was shocked how good it was I hated first Bioshock)
3. MGR

 

[Reknoc]

Still waiting for GotY to come out, I already know what it is, and it's due out this month.

 

[Jackben]

youre/ur/youare

Fairy muff.

Yeah, I'm using this phrase now.

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

GTAV is gonna be game of the gen, let alone the year. TLoU is fantastic but it's not going to be as good a GAME as GTAV, just a better story.

Can't drive off a mountain in TLoU. End of discussion.

I would need to consult lists of releases for my other GOTYs this year, prob would be Bioshock which I loved passionately for a weekend and maybe Year Walk on iOS to round out my five.

 

[BGBW]

Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA F right.

Can't drive off a mountain in TLoU. End of discussion.

If that's the criteria then Excite Truck won Game of the Gen already.

 

[Reknoc]

Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA F right.

no, i tried the demo of that, shit's impossible.

NO

If RAGE gets in the way of gameplay in GTA5 like it did in GTA4 and MP3 that is a big negative for me. Super awesome and realistic animations are only worthwhile when they aren't slowing things down.

 

[Deaf Spacker]

Started playing Gone Home with my headphones cranked up, bad mistake.

Truth right here.

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

Gonna get on the PS in a min if you guys are readies. Who's got a computer capable of setting up the Skype?

Third - I think it's the strongest name but I have no fucking clue how it'll work/what it'll do - The Shipping Forecast. Crossing the... well, the shipping forecast (radio 4 saying what the sea is like) with... the sort of shipping you see on Tumblr. I love the pun but have got no further.

The more I think about this, the more I chuckle.

"Expecting a rise in 11th Doctor x Amy Pond due to the awkward sexual tension in last night's episode. By tomorrow, the saturday morning slot has new episodes of MLP and that will bring with it a great disturbance and some quite unpredictable shipping conditions."

I like the second and third idea the most. BGBW and afoni could probably help with the third idea.

 

[Musha_Soturi]

I'm ready. Can't do the Skype call though

Mm! It's got good potential. Not sure what it is. Sort of a party randomly generated forecast? Is there any way of getting actual numbers? Google Trends doesn't have an API so I can't use that.. Hm. I shall keep thinking. Glad people think there's something in it.

 

[NinjaFridge]

Random thought;

What about a game set in Colditz during WWII, and you are one of the people involved in making the glider. You would explore the castle stealthily and obtain supplies for the glider. Wouldn't be a long game but it could be fun.

 

[Symphonia]

I've just got in and I'm about to stuff my face with battered sausage and chips because fuck life.

 

[xist]

because fuck life.

I agree wholeheartedly with this statement...today marks the exhaustion of my positivity i've managed to sustain since i emotionally melted down last week, and now i feel completely miserable again.

Late birthday present. Got my Walking Dead Compendium signed by the artist, Charlie Adlard:
 

 
And got a sketch!

Someone never played Prisoner Of War.

 

[Symphonia]

Why the fuck has my Facebook profile been permanently fucking deleted? I've just lost 200+ photos of my daughter that I'd been tagged in with NO way of recovering them. Fuck, I am so fucking pissed right now.

 

[xist]

More like someone never played Escape from Colditz...you're a prisoner in Colditz and you wander round the castle looking for ways to escape....there's a video game and a board game.

1: POW is from this century
2: It features the glider

edit: Actually I remember POW being really fun. Someone should remake it or something but good luck with that these days.

Notts lass just called me her Filipino Captain Picard... xD

 

[Musha_Soturi]

GG guys, even if I did suck the most, again.

Worth it just to hear that sexy Northern voice

 

[Hot Coldman]

I wouldn't mind more WWII-set games in general, really. Ones where you're not fighting the war specifically.

I know one of the Castlevanias (Portrait of Ruin?) is set in the late '30s but I doubt it does anything interesting with that.

 

[Volotaire]

Saw kick ass 2, was pretty OK. Not near the first film's quality, but an enjoyable ride..

Have you played Shadow Hearts and Shadow Hearts Covenant? Both great games with war-esque, dark themes.

Wouldn't really say I'm northern... I guess I'm more northern than Portsmouth

Isn't Covenant the game with the sidequest involving you trading gay porn?

I just walked back from the sitting room, beer in hand, thinking "I'm not actually all that drunk".

I then walked into the sofa.

:/

Musha is sexy as holy fuck.

Night guys.

GG.

 

[xist]

Been a while since i played it (still one of my favourite games) but yep, i think that's probably true.

Ooooh, the board game! Been years since I've thought about that!

 

[Mikeside]

Sorry you guys, got stuck round my grandparents' place entertaining my cousins who were visiting.

Just saw the GTA Online trailer
I'm going to have a megaboner for that game until GTA6, I think.

 

[Symphonia]

Who wants to drink with me?

 

[CHEEZMO™]

Who wants to drink with me?

I just had some peach schnapps and lemonade.

 

[AcridMeat]

Going to a board game night in a few hours, will be all strangers. Wish me luck, I'll be wearing the trench coat and nothing else again.

Had no idea Kick Ass 2 was o..oh right BRIT-GAF

 

[Symphonia]

A drinks a drink.

I just need to numb a few brain cells.

 

[Hot Coldman]

I'm always surprised by how fresh Refused's "The Shape Of Punk To Come" sounds every time I return to it. Maybe it's just because I never ever really played the shit out of it, but it's a really fucking good album. It definitely doesn't sound like it came out in 1998.

New Noise is still a killer tune.

 

[donkey show]

Two of some of the best RPGs on the PS2. Loved both of them.

 

[xist]

New Noise is still a killer tune.

It's an amazing album but some people get really put off by Lyxzen's vocals...aside from New Noise my other favourite was this one -

A naive young secret for the new romantics
We express ourselves in loud & fashionable ways
