Register had a link to send in Idun's direction? Well that is different. Neat article on private Museum in Tasmania.

It also mentions a festival in January that I find out about too late to probably go to. Sigh.

MONA's website is so bizarre. I'm interested in the Mona Foma 2013! Man, quirky museums are so much fun because they are -entertaining-.

So Torment 2 is a thing that is happening

Grefter · « **Reply #477 on:** December 03, 2012, 09:53:58 PM »

So I think this decade is going to be the one that breaks my heart. There is no way all these games are going to be as good as I dread hope they will be. Torment without MCA will be different, but that doesn't mean it will be bad. Maybe not as good as something with him on board, but this is the reality we have, so I can live with it.

Fenrir · « **Reply #478 on:** December 03, 2012, 10:34:45 PM »

Don't worry Gref. Barkley 2 is really going to be that good. It will have an Al Bhed translation.

Anyway, really great news. Probably the second kickstarter project I'll support.
I'm glad we found a way to get quality, medium budget games back, thanks to Kickstarter. It's just unfortunate that there can't be excellent, surprising games falling from the sky this way like they did before (Games like the original Planescape Torment)

Grefter · « **Reply #479 on:** December 03, 2012, 11:43:12 PM »

Well aside from getting a new X-COM game that was good, Kickstarter has a new point and click game from Double Fine, Wasteland 2, Project Eternity and now this. Not to mention so many other things (BG:EE hopefully tidying up in a few months with post deployment support so long as the community doesn't cannibalize it ALA ME3).

This is off the front foot of Obsidian getting to do an honest to gods proper Fallout sequel just recently.

All my idols are rising from their graves. All we need at this point is Toys for Bob to get to make a new Star Control after handing their overlords Skylanders payday on a platter and the circle will be complete.

I suspect Grefter might appreciate this. Also, I refuse to revive the Picture Battle topic.

Earthbound finished in 9 minutes 2 seconds.
The ending's really great. Everybody should watch this

You can just tell them no, not any more. Go to a shelter and take the kids with. You. You are young and beauthiful and are so much more worthy of a good healthy life than they provide you at the cost of your mind and body.

I've started live streaming the Perfect World "Nation Wars", which is a new PVP thing they've added recently. It's a lot of fun, so check out the replays if you're interested.

What's it entail?

Captain K. · « **Reply #490 on:** December 10, 2012, 11:20:23 PM »

You get randomly assigned to one of four nations, and then you play capture the flag (while killing each other of course) to gain territories. It's on Friday and Sunday night at 20:20 server time. Try it out, lower levels get some extra buffs so that they can still compete.

So, you remember A Lesson Is Learned But The Damage Is Irreversible? Webcomic that was around for a while in the dark ages of six years ago? There's a new one today. It's pretty good.

That is pretty amazing.

Grefter · « **Reply #497 on:** December 19, 2012, 08:45:33 PM »

That is some nice douchiness there. I still don't understand the appeal though. Ganking people through lag with slow projectiles? Isn't like the only reason it works because the controls are clunky anyway?

never understand

SnowFire · « **Reply #498 on:** December 19, 2012, 09:36:29 PM »

Without having played Dark Souls, I assume the joke is that he's standing up on a ledge next to an NPC archer. I assume there's an expected rain of NPC projectiles that do like 2% damage if they hit and ideally the victim doesn't figure out why they're mysteriously taking so much damage until it's too late.

Grefter · « **Reply #499 on:** December 19, 2012, 10:24:17 PM »

I believe that is a ledge you commonly hear moaning about where there is like 6 decent enemy archers and no room to move. Mix in auto targeting and it is easy to walk off the instant death platform.
