I haven't discovered much lately, I have periods where I'm not that much into discovering music, I kinda want to hold on to my musical identity in a way. Lately though I have begun collecting a-ha's records a lot, just falling in love with Morten Harket's wonderful voice. I think some of their best music was actually made after their initial success album. Otherwise, the new Funker Vogt album was pretty awesome. Arising Hero might be one of the best industrial songs I've heard. It was awesome to get the limited edition of it too.

No one use ICQ around here. It's either YIM or MSN (which should be called WLM now).

Choose your own meaning then =P

I dunno, I wouldn't be so quick to hate it. If it brings the fun to consoles, then why is that a bad thing? Though I'm not really interested in Minecraft to begin with.

I'm really excited. I can't wait to bust some pig cops and, well, check out some busts...

I would have played it if it was out for PC, but since it's not, I have little to no interest in it. Console exclusive games don't interest me unless they are on the Wii. Not because I'm a console gamer but simply because that's the only new console I own (birthday present, hardly use it).

Yeah, well, that would explain it... XD

Mmm, jaffa cakes.

Just had lunch and it's 2:39 PM.

I tend to replay games I really like, even if they might not have much replay value.

Easily when Wheatley turns into a villain. It was the greatest moment for me.

Have you contacted Steam Support about this?

Just got out of bed. 7:30 AM.

In my opinion, gaming has been more or less mainstream since the Atari days as far as I'm concerned and even more so in 1985 and into the 90's. I don't think there has ever been a point where gaming has been considered underground since then, so what you mean about that, I am not really sure. I think all in all it depends greatly on where you are from and the culture of the place you live in. Some places gaming is considered a nerd thing and in some places it's totally acceptable, even for girls. Speaking of which, I think it's a good thing that females embrace gaming. I think it removes the "male only" stigma that gaming culture as a whole has gotten. I would also like to see more games designed by females as well. I'm kind of tired that game design so far seems to be a male thing. Otherwise, I personally don't think any new Tetris, Super Mario or Doom are being made. I think games nowadays focus more on a narrative story and using the game as a vehicle for the story rather than making games for the sake of innovative gameplay. Therefore, the visuals become increasingly important to better tell the story, because the more realistic visuals, the better they immerse the player into the story and the game's action, so I think the trend has changed to more innovative visuals, evident with the advent of HD graphics, motion controls and even 3D, all of which are tools to increase immersion but not necessarily gameplay itself. I don't really think gaming has become TOO mainstream though, I mean, I would rather say we have different kinds of gamers with different types of games to appeal to those different gamers.
