    Jimquisition: Objectification And... Men?

    I don't really get why people object so much to Jims persona in the videos. Not only is it played up for absurd comical effect, but its dropped entirely during the actual meat of the video and is only brought up during the intro and conclusion. That being said, great video as usual, knocked...

    Wireless Headphones Recommendation Please

    I use these: http://www.trustedreviews.com/sennheiser-px-210-bt-headphones_Headphones_review I haven't regretted it all, I practically never take them off. They are bluetooth, come with a wire for connecting to an audio jack and the battery is removable so if you want, you can slide it out...

    Planetary Annihilation: I say we THROW AN ASTEROID INTO THE PLANET. Its the only way to be sure.

    I'm the same way, I don't like playing multiplayer because I'm not competitive and don't like min-maxing shenanigans, I just wanna see big robots stomp through bases and launch nukes XD

    Planetary Annihilation: I say we THROW AN ASTEROID INTO THE PLANET. Its the only way to be sure.

    http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/659943965/planetary-annihilation-a-next-generation-rts If this works, if the company can pull this off, it will be glorious. I am severely skeptical of a June 2013 release though, cos unless the video trailer was gleaned from aspects of already-implemented...

    Things that soothe you, for some reason

    I dunno why but deep vibrations make me melt. I'm talking about the kind you get when someone is, say, jogging on a treadmill a few rooms away. You can't hear anything except the deep thumping and you can feel it through the walls. Obviously not when its enough to make the walls shake and you...

    X-COM Enemy Unknown Difficulty Curve

    I actually won a few missions because my soldier panicked. I swear to god, I shot down at least a dozen or so aliens across the first 4-5 missions just from my soldiers panicking and taking a wild potshot at an alien. I also frequently defied the odds and got kills with 30%-50% odds repeatedly...

    Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee HD remake screenshots!! :D

    I want this badly. Although I hope they fix a few things, such as the dumb autosave locations. I definitely wouldn't say no to this.

    How far have you gotten in FTL

    I got to the enemy flagship, but couldn't get past the 2nd incarnation because of my shitty weapon choice. I had an Ion Bomb and a 3-shot laser, and a boarding drone. The problem with using the boarding drone on a ship like the flagship is it has compartments (guns) that are completely...

    FTL: Faster Than Light is pretty awesome

    I think if you get boarded, its really a crapshoot since if you don't at least have lvl2 doors by that point, they can just waltz all over your ship. This also heavily depends on the number of crew you have since if you're stuck with 3 crew with poor attack skill, there's little you can do but...

    FTL: Faster Than Light is pretty awesome

    Opening airlocks doesn't eject enemies, but it does drain your ship of oxygen and can asphyxiate intruders if you open doors between them and your airlock(s). You just have to pray your O2 unit doesn't get destroyed or the areas drained of oxygen will be uninhabitable until you can get someone...

    FTL: Faster Than Light is pretty awesome

    I got the Mantis ship, the big red one you get for capturing that kakliak-whatever space thief guy. It's okay but the biggest WTF with it is it has no sensors whatsoever, but starts with a teleporter. TBH I would prefer sensors :(

    Who's excited about the new X-Com?

    So, if anyone is ordering this off steam, they've already hit stage 2 of the preorder rewards, which is the TF2 hats, next up is the free copy of Civ 5. I know no-one cares about new TF hats, and I don't know how this translates into numbers of preorders, but since its only been available for...

    Who's excited about the new X-Com?

    I think both games, FPS and TBS are getting developed under 2K's watch, but the TBS is the one a) everyone cares about and b) is close to being finished (as in its getting released within a months time). I have no idea whats up with the FPS but now I know the TBS is coming and that it is very...

    Who's excited about the new X-Com?

    God dammit you lucky bastard! I wish they would release a demo, I'd play the absolute shit out of it.
