OT: I hope the NOLF whatever it is, is PS Vita related. That's most logical way forward.

Fat Thursday is next week for us.
Ah yes, I do personally hope that at least somebody is releasing the games, also you might want to make a thread about this news.

Well it would be great if they did what they did with Duke3d Megaton Edition where they actually redid it to have xinput support and stuff. I never played the NOLF games but i have my PC hooked up to my TV and in Big Picture mode all day so KB&M isn't something i really want out of, well, any game.
Of course if Valve would just release their damn steam controller this would all be a moot point but they're surprising taking their sweet time with the thing.
It's hard to describe PoP: Metodology Experiment One. It might be impossible.
The game is weird and crazy as hell. I did not understand anything that was going on. The game is like really super fucked up.
It also might cause death by epilepsy.
And it's made by illuminati.

Oh damn that is sweet. If only 960 would come in 4GB.
Is Phantom Pain gonna be a steam key?
EDIT: Wait that is GZ not PP! Bah I say. BAH!
Still trying to hold out for a 3xx AMD but my family is forcing me to get a new PC asap :/
About the 34 minute mark and Night Dive did also give us some exclusive bits of news that are worth hightlighting. They are planning on bring indie game Spirits of Xanadu to the service. Cult adventure game Noctopolis is re-released with getting remastered music ad widescreen support. Powerslave/Exhumed is being worked on and the big shocker is the Saturn version is being planned to be included in the package.

It's like Uncharted man! ...not that I want to make myself feel better for gifting it to others and still having some gift copies in my inventory >_>
Worst 70p decision of my life

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
That game was like an awesome B-movie that stars your favorite actor. Hilariously bad, but worth experiencing for the right to heckle it properly and to see what the lowest point of your favorite actor's career really looks like first-hand.
I mean... what the hell was Troy Baker thinking?

Unless he did it pro bono, he was probably thinking the same thing every actor who does a bad movie thinks - it's money.

lol true, the guy is in practically everything - I guess I shouldn't have been surprised.
I had a WTF moment too when the credits rolled. Had to look it up to confirm, and sure enough.

What was I playing with Troy Baker in the other day? Ah that's it Resident Evil 6. Voicing Jake who's a cocky, rebellious, wise cracking sort... which is kind of Troy Baker's singular character. Yuri Lowell, Kanji Tatsumi, Alec Mason, Vincent Brooks, Snow Villiers, Robin, Two-Face and The Joker all the same bloody style of voice work. Even Booker DeWitt, Joel and Talion fit the mould with a bit more older, angry, shouty voice work thrown in.

Anyone made a list of their Greatest Games of All Time?
Like a top 10 list of games or series that should preserved in case the apocalypse happens and is passed on to the next generation to savor and enjoy?
Or to be less exaggerating: Games they enjoyed really fucking much that they are among the best they've ever played throughout all gaming gens
Mine currently include
Sonic 2
Sonic 3 & Knuckles
Metal Slug 1-3 (I'm cheating by lumping them together but I don't want them to take more spots =X)
Might & Magic Clash of Heroes
Shock Troopers (I should play 2 someday....)

I'm sorry, but there is no way that Kanji Tatsumi and Vincent Brooks are the same basic character archetype as Booker and Joel. I'll give you that Troy Baker for the longest time was the guy you hired to play a Nathan Drake character when you couldn't get Nolan North, and Booker and Joel are basically the same character. But you are way off including Kanji and Vincent on that list.
Hey my good GAFfers! I finally finished GRID Autosport. What a great ride.
After Grid 2, I felt there was a lot of good things to be made in the next instalment in the GRID series and I was happy to find out that many were improved. I have invested easily twice the time when comparing to GRID 2 and there was a reason for this. The multi-disciplined Events offer you a lot more variety and it's great for those who are a fan of mixing different race styles. From Endurance races to Tuner and Street you also have Touring Events and Open Wheel as well giving you different tastes of what's available in the racing words. For me all were great aside of any Drift events. It's nothing personal but I love to race in all sorts of classes but when it comes to win by points in a corner by making good use of your handbrake the racer fan in me feels a bit bored.
As you advance in all events you will get a chance of having better sponsors interested in you with more difficulty and challenging objectives to complete such beating a rival time, finish above 5th place, then 3rd place and so on.
There is a clear effort is making this game a pleasant experience for the racing fans but even after so many efforts there is still much to be done. Endurance races are great but it lacks some proper tuning and the duration of most of them are not really what I would call endurance since the bigger ones are around 12 minutes long. Qualifications are back and it's a great opportunity to set a time to start on a better position.
The audio is the best effort I've seen in the grid series. You really do not need any soundtrack or any other sound effect. You just need to remove all the hud in the game, increase the volume and you will have such a good time driving while pushing to the max to the next gear. There are also little things that did not go unnoticed. For instance, you can ask (with the D-pad) what is the current state of your car (gearbox, engine damage, etc) as well the position of your rival, team-mate and so on. If you are entering a tunnel and you ask for this info you can see there's a difference in the sound from the speaker since the signal may be weaker. These little things are always appreciated. One last thing regarding the sound: I loved GRID 2 main theme and it's a such a shame that I felt a downgrade regarding the tunes/themes in the menus (not to mention these menus are quite... bland).
Then there are the community feedback that Codemasters did or tried to achieve with things like the Cockpit view. For many racing fans this view not only is a must but it's also the only view they play their racing games. So, in order to keep fans happy Codemasters implemented this view but to be honest this was the most poor effort I've seen in adding something that is a big request in these games. First I thought that my eyes were deceiving me because I've played and seen many recent games with great looking cockpit views like Driveclub and Project Cars so it crossed my mind I was not being fair to GRID Autosport since this game was released some time ago. Then I just remembered. Games like Dirt 2 or Dirt 3 do have a cockpit view and they are quite nicely done, if you ask me. So what happened here? Was no time to develop a better view and they just tried a quick solution? For those who haven't seen it, go check it out. It's a dark, blurry mess with no details at all. Seriously. This was such a wasted opportunity and I can see why so many fans were upset with all this.
One thing I also liked was the Cups between the major events. This would be races without a team member and they had a great selection of either prototypes or older gems, something I'm fond of. But still, I wish I could have seen more of them.
In the end, I had great fun with Autosport. I played more than 50 hours, I did more than 400 races, leveled up every single category to level 10 or above and finished all the major events, all cups with many qualifications as well.
Side Curiosity: It is thanks to Ben Gouldstone, the Senior Game Designer of Driveclub that the racetrack from Algarve, in Portugal is a reality after he gave this feedback to the Codemasters team. It's great to see when companies are open to all sorts of feedback in order to bring more variety and content to their games.

"So, we're developing a low-budget game inspired by Uncharted and--"
"Sold! I've always wanted to voice Nolan North!"
I didn't say character type I said they way he voices them all is nigh on the same. There's isn't a lot of range to his voice acting but I expect to get jumped on for saying that
Hmm...
1. We ♥ Katamari
2. Shadow of the Colossus
3. Katamari Damacy
4. Shadow Hearts 2
5. Harvest Moon

7. TES III: Morrowind

9. Mario Tennis - Power Tour
10. Persona 4

Also Baker's Joker in Oranges was a damn near perfect imitation of Mark Hamill's classic joker. Hell, if I didn't know that it was troy beforehand i would've thought it was Hamill doing the joker again. It was damn good.
It was more noticeable in Blackgate but since no one played that game it'll be my secret to keep.

Well I'd say the way he voices Kanji at the very least is nothing like the way he voices Yuri or Snow for instance.
But you said "cocky, rebellious, wise cracking sort" was his singular character, and listed Kanji as one of your first examples, which makes absolutely no sense at all. Cocky and wise cracking is like the antithesis of Kanji (he is rebellious, but mainly to compensate for his lack of self-confidence). Vincent certainly isn't particularly cocky either, mostly just depressed and unambitious.
I'm not saying Troy Baker isn't constantly typecast, because he obviously is. It's just you used some really poor examples.

Looking at those pics i realised how much my eating habits changed last year. I don't remember when was the last time i ate donuts, i bought Nutella two months ago and it still sits on shelf unopened, bag of Haribo gummy bears can last me for whole month etc. I reduced candy consumption significantly, i even reduced salt and sugar consumption. XD
See you're focusing on the written character and script and not how Baker himself delivers his lines. If you want an example of an actor with proper range for a differing set of characters, christ even in the same work go look at Alec Guinness in Kind Hearts and Coronets or Peter Sellers in Strangelove. Each character they play has different voices, mannerisms, strains and even pronunciations miles ahead of anything Baker has done throughout his whole career.
