Yes, I do remember Diggers (albeit on PC)! That is my benchmark for mining games and I think you've just sold Steamworld Dig 2 to me.

Judging by Steam's user reviews, The Lab and Factorio are looking like great contenders. The Lab: http://store.steampowered.com/app/450390/ Factorio: http://store.steampowered.com/app/427520/

I'm just getting a 404 instead of the video. What's up, Escapist?

If it's dead, it's not deadly.

I once encountered a brown snake (world's 2nd most deadly snake) sunbathing on a suburban footpath near a creek. I gave it a wide bearth. I once had an American Pitbull come at me. One night, a car was parked across the footpath. I walked around the car on the house-side of the footpath...

From MDK: Decoy: a helium balloon with your picture painted on it. World's Most Interesting Bomb: it's so cool, the enemies just have to take a closer look.

Drop bears! Drop bears! Drop bears! Drop bears! I think, as has been pointed out repeatedly, Australia isn't an instantly recognisable place. We have low population density, and one outback is the same an another. 90% of Australia's landmarks are pretty landscapes. The most I could see is...

Hi! Jut for fun, I was thinking what achievements could you make for simple arcade games that were big in the early 80's? (Pac-Man, Space Invaders, Pong, Asteroids, Gauntlet, Galaga, Missile Control, ...) Pick an old game and make an interesting achievement! Pac-Man, Ghostbuster, Hard...

Minecraft, but I love it! :-D

I have been completely unaffected. If anything, my mortgage repayments dropped. 1. I stayed gainfully employed. Work is hiring more staff. 2. My wife had options of which new job to take. 3. I received standard pay raises, at least CPI. 4. Grocery prices have gone up. I'm making more of...

Just hang with friends. Keep people around you and you'll get over it fine. Moping in loneliness will just make you depressed. The best way to get a bad girlfriend is go search for one. You'll see all the good and none of the bad until it's too late. Stay social and and the right one will...

One of my favourites too! Very funny indeed! Who's seen eXistenZ? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120907/

The 1986 game Arcticfox [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcticfox] on the Commodore Amiga. That game ran so slow. When the game was peaceful, you could get about 6 frames per second. That dropped to 1 frame per second when the action kicked in.
