What really gets me about all of this is that even if you're a fast typist, it still takes more time and effort to tweet something than it does to say it. Your fingers don't blurt out dumb things in the heat of the moment. Having to actually type out something should be enough of a speed bump for somebody to say to themselves, "Hold up a sec. Better not hit enter now or I'm really going to screw myself here." Yet even that's not enough to make some people stop and consider their words.

So how much does it take to get somebody to think before posting?

 

[IblisGinjo]

I've just been reading the PC Gamer previews and it sounds like the basis of Civ with a bit of Alpha Centuri mixed in but a lot of it is it's own game. The whole set up seems quite familiar and while some win conditions are similar like Domination, the 3 tied to the new affinities sound different (well they are a little vauge on what the conditions and what the final goal for each is). Quests do sound like they're a big part of the affinity victory conditions too and they sound a lot more organic than the usual path you'd plot to normal Civ win conditions like a Space or Peace victory.

I want more new gameplay ideas and mechanics that really makes it feel like you're exploring a new planet. Deadlock from Accolade back in the day played around with a slightly different scenario. I understand that the standard Civ model is solid but just tacking on a space colonization theme seems uninspired. I would like if we had a main Civilization Series and then have Civ offshoots that would play around with newer & more novel ideas.

between "new rig testing" and thinking about extra life, I downloaded a lot of games recently. Im at work so cant check the whole list, but off the top of my head:

-snip-
and more stuff im probably forgeting

Lords of the Fallen isnt out until next week and Ive finished Evil Within and im about to finish Styx so those would probably be out. I could probably get 24 hours out of all this stuff, some of which Ive been wanting to try like all the DLC stuff (assuming my saves still work) or Mordor. And im not opposed to buy something specifically to stream if needed, like Korra or something.

Edit: I need to download Hatoful Boyfriend too

That's a lot of fantastic games. I'd highly recommend Shadow of Mordor, Isolation, Metro 2033 + Last Light, Outlast & Transistor. Those are, imo, the very best on your list there - And if you play just half of them, I'd spend a lotta time watching I think

 

[Atraveller]

So Korra is going to be awesome?

Physically talking requires someone to listen, though. Twittering does not. Also (in general) I would say that fits of emotional anguish last longer than it takes to tweet. Especially if you're a fast typist.

In the future when we're all cyborgs, the Internet will have an emotionally-enabled "kill switch" that disables our cyber-brains from messaging online. I guarantee it.

Basically: everyone should play Remember Me.

Korra is awesome. Korra will be awesome. Korra will remain awesome.

If you like games for babies, sure.

Damn straight! The only thing I want to do with Nickalodeon is Rosanne reruns. Can you even quickscope in Korra?

Who is this kid, and why does he have a reddit downvote on his head, kids today and their automated shirt collars.

If you like games for babies, sure.

True.

 

[dani_dc]

It's a platinum action game, there was never any doubt.

 

[Krappadizzle]

I never did finish Lone Survivor. I remember thinking it was pretty fun at the time, but I think I got bored with it. I should replay it.

I do believe the kids these days call it to twee... No, what was it? Twittering? Nonono, twattering, I believe. Or twatting. Twitting? Something along these lines, my dear.

I really wanna play Remembs Muh by the way

[Freedom = $1.05]

It was barely a good stealth game when it came out. Don't do it to yourself, there are plenty of other decent stealth options out there

All lollipop gifs should be accompanied by a source.

Tried to start it awhile ago, it was very awkward to say the least.

JaseC is a viral marketing account for Saoirse, do you really think anyone would post so many gifs of her for any other reason?

, lel milady let me tip my fedora for ur excellent inteligens

Seriously though, I do believe you're on-point. Twittattering does sound about right. You forgot about the fisting though. But that's a niche kind of twittattering.

oh I also have Outland downloaded, thats another one. And Vanishing of Ethan Carter. My ISP cant be happy with me this month >_>

Don't know of this Outland-y thang you speak of, but Vanishing is god-damned excellent. I tried the game for an hour sailing under the jolly roger*, and it's a really beautiful game and definitely one of the best spins, or takes, on the classic detective-puzzler. The HUD, or lack thereof, is just great. It's really well-made, and it just... Makes sense. It clicks, and it works - Minimalistic as can be, really, and it's better for it.

God damnit I need to buy that game!

Spoiler

The jolly-rogering was to test it on my rig. I swear! Like I may or may not do with TEW at some point if I can be arsed anytime soon

Oh. My. God.

Dreamfall Chapters Early Access is up.

Tears of joy!

That dev thread is awesome.

Time for my monthly Dino Crisis thread thanks again Grief.EXE

I don't actually post every month

Too many threads for things that don't have a huge demand, all that stuff usually pops up in this thread anyway.

They already do

 

[WinterDemons]

How long is the wait for "Too Many Activation Attempts" again?

Also, I find the banner for Blackbay Asylum quite amusing. Giveaway incoming once I sort out my keys.

 

[FiveElementNinja]

How long is the wait for "Too Many Activation Attempts" again?

I think it's 30 minutes, and if you keep doing it during that time it increases by 30 minutes.

Valve comments:

"We have removed the game's sales page and ceased relations with the developer after he threatened to kill one of our employees", a Valve spokesperson told Kotaku.
