Sick. I'm still waiting for some of my bros to get one, so hopefully this wave is large enough.
Hey now. I like Firefox. Mainly because it doesn't try to add anything like that bullshit Google Update Service when I install it. I do my damnedest to keep my machine free of unnecessary crap, so I definitely don't appreciate it when programs insist on installing background services like that. >_<

ow, something's not right - ModBot PM'd me telling me I won Trine 2 and I used the key before noticing the post was edited saying Nymphae won. Did I fuck up?
Nah. It was probably just an unfortunate side-effect of GAF being a bit twitchy earlier. Gotta feel sorry for Nymphae, but I don't think that anybody could accuse you of doing anything wrong.
Firefox is better than Chrome IMO. I edited so many text rendering files to try to get Chrome to look right but it never did. The text is thin and harder to read while in Firefox is super thick. Editing text size in settings destroyed page formatting.
Plus, you can't customize exactly what's on your new tab page? The fuck.
Also forgot to mention Last Pass is worse on Chrome. On firefox it opens little window prompts to generate passwords and such, on Chrome it opens a new tab that is 99% white space.
Zack Zero is one of those games where I feel bad playing it. The game is just okay with a few bugs and feels pretty low budget but at the same time it feels like the developers tried to make something better than they could. Even saying that is a endless loop of feeling sorry for the developers and then feeling bad for even thinking that because it's kinda insulting.
It should considering the console version has online multiplayer...lol
In other news i just got into the family sharing beta too.
I am in good need of a monitor, that thing looks awesome. How big is it, and what type? I have no monitor knowledge whatsoever so school me a bit.Half-Life 2: Episode Two will be 6 years on October 10th
Still on the best fps experiences to come out in recent years, you guys should download it to get the "Little Rocket Man" Achievement as well.
I've started playing it again today...
My neck hurts
But if you read my first sentence
all your points are pointless, because is the most important thing of all.
Serious Sam 3 has 83 in metacritic users ratio. It's a very very good average for an horrible game.
Ugly art style?. Nonononono.
It is, their living room is being remodeled and the TV is now in his office

Yes, that game's artstyle looks boring....which is fitting considering the game is also boring to play.

I like the softness in Serious Sam 3's rendering but the art style is just so drab and boring, especially compared to the very colorful originals. Even the gameplay just wasn't up to the task.
I loved first and second encounter but SS3 was a huge mis-step.

Hopefully it won't be $80.
Nothing official, but I'd assume $30 given that the RRP of the PS3 version is $40.
One thing I distinctly recall being odd is that the first time the game gets "serious", a heavy metal song kicks in, but this little creative flourish is never used again.

Xanathus, thanks a bunch for SPAZ!!
I only played it for about half an hour because I don't really like platformers. That said, I thought it was pretty enjoyable for what it was. The swapping powers mechanic was pretty interesting. I do agree with your general sentiment - it's like they tried to polish it more than your average indie game but couldn't quite make it, resulting in a kind of weird in-between.
It felt kind of like a Dreamcast game to me...
Thankfully. I was playing Painkiller the other day, the same metal song starts every time an enemy spawns and just loops for 10 minutes. Maybe it's just me though, repetitive sounds give me a headache extremely quickly, like literally anything.
I don't like the art style in SS3 either, I'm so sick of the eternal Egypt theme. I still like the game though even though it introduced many things that shouldn't exist in the Serious Sam games (sprinting, reloading, stealth missions, too much running around in small interiors, big fat melee hammer that makes you feel nauseous when using it). Hopefully they'll go back to the roots in SS4.
It seems you guys haven't played SS2 though because that game is awful, a lot worse than SS3. As a fan I couldn't even stand a playthrough.

Ah, yeah. I'm not sure if I actually finished the demo back in the day. Probably quited halfway through...

Looked through the Bundlestars website and ended up putting 5 bundles in my cart...I think I need to stop before I press checkout, I'm never going to play these games why am I thinking of buying them!

Just buy one bundle, like the little game collectors (hoarders) that we are
Collecting IS the game

It didn't really step anywhere. It's basically just more Serious Sam with prettier graphics and better melee. Level destruction was a nice touch, but it didn't affect gameplay much.
But I feel like it's time for that subgenre to move forwards, even though it's retro. The new FPS roguelikes, for example, are a really interesting direction to go in.
...I really want to see someone start a game bundle site called "Bundlefly". They can get Jeff Goldblum to be their spokesman.

Retro City Rampage is $3.65 for one day: http://www.humblebundle.com/store/product/retrocityrampagesteam
Same boat. It's something I play every few years but nothing I'm invested enough in to discuss.

I highly recommend the new Shadow Warrior. It's probably my favourite FPS this year and using the katana is glorious.
A penny a day for a year?
Maybe it's supposed to mean something. Or could just be a typo.

Yeah, it's the one year anniversary.
Wasn't that game made by a GAFfer?
