I've never played those games, but the way I understood it is that the anime looking protagonists of Kingdom Hearts were extraplanar visitors to the post-apocalyptic Earth that all of Disney's films are set in. You know the kind of internet conspiracy theories I'm talking about right? Like how all the fairytale historical settings in the franchise like Aladdin, Frozen, The Lion King, the aforementioned Mulan etc weren't taking place in the past, but instead take place in a far future dark age, and that every disney film is actually taking place in the same particular era and what we are seeing are isolated vignettes of a much larger alternative Earth. All of the apparent magical occurrences and talking animals are merely survivals of advanced science gone awry. Who is your favourite non-fiction writer? They can be legit book authors or even a blogger, article writer, etc.

Yes, but I think everyone is entitled to be a bit weird and arbitrary when they sleep. You can argue that sleeping is the one time the unconscious aspects of your personality and behaviour isn't overwhelmingly impressed upon by cultural norms. Have you tried sleeping with one of those body-length pillows Ninja? I personally find it a lot more comfortable than attempting to rearrange my arms and legs around the rest of my normal sized pillows. Am I weird for preferring Resident Evil 5 over Resident Evil 4?

Final Fantasy 15 + Resident Evil 7: Biohazard = Final Evil: Beautiful Boy Hazard Imagine a survival horror game in which you battle hordes of androgynously alluring beautiful boys instead of the shuffling masses of undead. Features both first and third person camera mechanics. Also, romanceable enemies and a feature that allows you to come up with new recipes using red and green herbs exclusively.

What in the blue living fuck?! My favourite part is about fifty-five seconds in. It's the kind of thing that reminds me that YouTube Poop can be an artistic medium as lofty as sculpture and painting.

XqiG20EZyOQ I worry about what this might say about me, I find this sort of thing therapeutic. I must be a bigger edgelord than I'm willing to confess. "Serial killers? Forget about it! They don't even have friends, and they are good at what they do..."

If you lived in [X] game's world, who or what would you be?

As an admirer of both the Warhammer universe and it's futuristic iteration, I want to join in on your occupational fantasizing. Due to being a human being, I would most likely be some warehouse grunt shuffling boxes of replicated potatoes around on some obscure colony world, I definitely prefer the non-human option if it's possible. I'd be some sort of endemically lazy, mysteriously non-violent and weirdly bookish Ork that does odd-jobs for my clan who just about smart enough to avoid too much warfare and avoid being turned into squig-fodder by my fellow orks. Or I'd be a worshipper/demon of Nurgle, maybe even an aspect of the Great Unclean One himself. I've always found the generous and grandfatherly quality of Nurgles personality really appealing. He isn't a typical bloodthirsty demon like Khorne, or as noticeably perverted as Slaanesh, or even remotely as inscrutable as Tzeentch. As far as Nurgle (and by extension his converts) is concerned he's only trying to show people that there is a better alternative to being honourable, dour, steadfast and miserable all the time. Everyone is welcome to his multitudinous diseases. Nurgle won't bar anyone from his illnesses, pestilence and pus-filled boils. We got plagues! Plagues for days! -
Planned Replacement of Steam Greenlight
Selfsurprise replied to Glue Man's topic in Gaming in general
I saw Jim Sterling's video on this subject and I agree with you Glue Man. The projected price range (even if there is a system of reimbursement in place) may prove a hurdle too high for many one-man bedroom developers whose hearts are in the right place. I'm also too much of a pessimist to truly believe that a higher fee will even prevent the most committed asset-flippers and "lol memez"-cretins from still sinking all of their parents money via their own deluded and enigmatically motivated urge to release seemingly intentionally awful games. -

“I can smell that you are afraid of me. Just because I am an animal does not mean you need to be afraid. I’m just like you.” That's the most incredible thing I've read all week. Sorry mate, I'm not mocking you or our customer related misfortunes. I don't understand how you were able to prevent yourself from laughing right in the guys face. I'm not sure I could of restrained myself from making "no dogs allowed in the theatre" gaffs or asking him if his blind owner was around to vouch for him.

What kind of mad idiot would even say such a thing?! :3

The sequel to The Lost Crown STILL isn't out yet. I've been looking forward to the release of it for years now and it was initially set to come out in december last year. According to some enterprising fans of Darkling Room games on Steam who got in contact with the developer Jonathan Boakes, the game is all but finished but it's release has been delayed due to an onset of illness afflicting Mr. Boakes. I have an enormous amount of respect for Boakes and I wish him a swift recovery, but even as rabid a convert to his back catalogue of games thinks the publicity and promotion around this most anticipated title has been a bit of a faff.

8/10, I do like an unusual dragon variant. Reminds me a little of the Fairy Dragons from the third edition D&D book the Draconomicon. The little gossamer-winged bug-eyed drakeling thing gives this a bonus point.

I should probably update this thread! If I lived in the Commonwealth of Fallout 4, I'd like to think my innate anti-socialism would result in me becoming a peculiar mutant hermit who gives off a pheromone that attracts Mirelurks. Said pheromone would make them extremely protective of me and my upended-caravan-in-the-middle-of-a-algae-infested-pond home, whilst sending them absolutely berserk at the sight of intruders. I have a circle of friends who keep berating me for having never played any of the Mass Effect games. I do like reading about the franchises races on the game wiki though, I especially find myself identifying with the Volus. There something about a short, fat race of people that would probably die if they went outside that speaks to me on a deeply identitarian level. You are the real-life :3 -

So this resolution I made didn't quite pan out, it seems. It seems like such a reasonable thing to accomplish on one's day-off and there isn't much else going on.

I'm a tad worried that I'm going to send you over the edge Ninja, but although the "identitarian" angle of this article is extraordinarily desperately sad, there is actually a precedent for this in psychology. Ever heard of phantom limb syndrome? The article itself touches on it's less populist title body integrity identity disorder towards the end. The "transabled" minority iteration is a news to me though, I'll admit. I think it's yet another depressing symptom of the kind of selfishly one-dimensional identity politics that rules so much public debate now. I worry that things like this potentially undermine the reception of other legitimately disabled people, and even sexual/gender minorities.

I always wanted to know what was going on in Black Mesa before Freeman shouted "SUCKEEEEEER!" at that security guy.

I sympathise with those who will find this news extremely frustrating, but I'm honestly not in the least bit surprised. It hardly matters that a lot of the alleged aspects of Valves "office culture" are anecdotal, the public perception that the company is hovering uneasily between half-conceived projects has already set sail. The fact that they've attained near-meme status among the internets more snarky opinionators is practically a testament to their enigmatic conduct, usually developers have to do something more bleedingly obvious and wilfully stupid before becoming the equivalent of Konami.

Pull your own face off. I want to have a young, nubile, Japanese girlfriend. How should I go about enticing one to go out with me?
