I'm probably alone in this, but Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 was my favorite of the series. I really liked making Disney-style scenic rides, and RCT3 was way better for that than 1 or 2. My brother and I recorded custom soundtracks in Garageband and made billboards in MS Paint and imported them into our parks. It was pretty great.

If you have the skill, you should check out NoLimits 2. Unfortunately to make an amazingly themed roller coaster you need to A: know how to make a roller coaster within NL2 (which is very difficult) and B: Now how to make 3D objects (as .3ds files) and C: (if necessary) know how to script. You can even use your own music for the station if you so wish.

Like I said a few posts before, this stuff is way over my head. I'm glad there are people both with technical knowledge and creative to make these rides, especially the ones who build full theme parks in NL2 (with scripted flat rides, scripted theming, etc.).

Wow, that's super impressive. I messed around with the first NoLimits back when I was into those games, and also found it way over my head. It's crazy to see what people have done with it!

I'm really interested to see what Frontier's gonna do with their spiritual successor to RCT3. The new one from Atari looks like hot garbage, and that iOS RTC4 was just embarrassing.

Yeah. NL2 is so much more than the first one. The original game you could only work with one roller coaster and if you wanted to make it look like a park, you'd have to make static objects. In NL2 you can make as many roller coasters as you want in one map, as well as be able to script flat rides that you can actually ride.

Here is a park someone made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWhF2PNJhbM

And here is a flat ride someone scripted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uc5_BmK7bfg

And like I said in my other reply, you can script theming as well: Check out this haunted house ride: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1c87fYpvnME

Another cool thing different than the first game, is the ability to walk (even on fake themed ground, such as paths) around. This is particularly cool when someone makes a full theme park.

...Oh, and it has Oculus Rift support as well! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMrhaLb6UeQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUTxhXvzdHg

Ha ha! Yeah! Eat shit! FuUUUUuUUUuuck YouUUUuUUuuu! Yeeeah! HA HA! NO YOU CAN'T DO THAT STOP. STOP IT. QUIT IT. NO STOP DON'T DO THAT.

edit - I tried Chicken Fries. Umm.... they're kinda good. Like surprisingly so. But they're ___really___ salty. I mean I guess they're like that as to get you to drink a lot of soda. If they were like 75% less salty I think I'd love them.

They look like 95% breading and 5% chicken.
 
I don't know that team but I can confirm anyway.

I've been working in QA for almost 8 years now and there's nothing i hate more than people that automatically think that buggy game == bad QA. It's almost never the case.

Yeah, we all know it's just the devs being lazy.
 
so I actually enjoyed the 10 hours I spent with Rory Macklemore's PGA Golf (and made a pretty fucking stupid golfer despite the meager character creator), and I want more good golf games to play

what's good

I don't know how they rank with real-world golf games, but I love the physics in the Hot Shots series.

Tiger Woods 13 I feel like was the last "great" golf game. If you're looking for one what that did what Rory did, but with a more Robust feature set.

The Golf Club is much more of a basic golf package, but some of the created courses are nuts, and the devs seem to be tweaking the game pretty consistently.
 
I was thinking of checking out the Golf Club, but the Steam review ratio, price, and the lack of a 3-click system pretty much turned me off of it. It's a shame, too, because the user content seems awesome.

Jeff is the CM Punk of the Powerbombcast. So great on the show, but his heart wasn't in it, so he bailed and threw off the show from there afterwards.

Get ready for the Giant UFCast sometime this year.

As much as it's not well looked upon, I would definitely buy The Golf Club if it had PS Move support. I loved how it was implemented in Sports Champions 2's golf mode.

just watched the pipe bomb promo for the first time and it's starting to make more sense how people could be way too into him
 
The new demo derby got me good during Drew's garage door tricks. I really wasn't expecting that...

And Jeff's PS2 launch story never disappoints.
Seriously, I hope that more content come in soon because as much I liked that demo derby, fuck that video thumbnail.

In some alternate dimension VinnyVania is on the front page right now.

Yeah, he always broke the 4th wall in order to shit on the WWE. That's why people liked him, he'd call out the carny shit as it was. Granted they kinda then peddled him as that, but in the end he left on his own terms, not the WWE's. It's why he's so derisive.

My favourite Punk promo is him ranting about it being the fault of the fans for why WWE pushes gimmicks over wrestling talking about how a monster like Brodus Clay dances with their ugly children, a serious submission specialist like Daniel Bryan smiles for the camera and uses catchphrases, and Little Jimmy as an invisible child is more successful than a great wrestler like Tyson Kidd.
 
Vinnyvania is lost in time... like tears in the rain... time to die.

Can we have a suicide/self-inflicted harm reference count on the latest Beastcast? I mean, damn, Alex. Dial down a bit on the whole nihilism thing.

The Beastie Boys are the first hip hop group in years to have something to say
48 hrs to rocket league

I should buy rocket league. It's cross platform multiplayer right? So if I get it on PC, I can play with ps4 duders?
 
All im saying is that we never lost a vinnyvania pre-austin

I'm not saying that he's the reason Giant Bomb dot com has been on a decline but just follow the money

It is, though there were issues with cross platform private matches and I'm not sure if that's been fixed.

Ah ok, thanks. Probably won't be playing private matches for a while anyway, so I think I'll get it.

After the show, Austin said "hail academia" three times into a mirror, then a grad school materialised and crushed vinnyvania.mp4 with a mortarboard.
 
Did Dan watch Terminator 5?

i think he mentioned during MGS4 that he did and that it was alright. But dan grew up on wrestling and metal gear so I don't trust his ability to properly assess a narrative compared to the average adult male

had he grown up with anime I would weigh his opinion more heavily.

No problem, if you pick up the pc version and are looking for people to play with let me know, I could do with some people who play rocket league on my friends list.

Thinking about it, I wonder if VinnyVania had the audio sync issues that seem to be constantly creeping up, and they couldn't stay late enough on Friday to take care of them.

Would explain why it didn't go up.

Either that, or they forgot to hit the button to upload it and just plain didn't realize it.
