So with the film and music threads still going and being discussed... why don't we get some discussion going on something on topic to the board? What other games are you playing now?

i don't see you raging about how bad the publisher system and all that is for the devs. 
^^ 
that means, if e.g. Lun would have said the same thing, it wouldn't sound so much like big evil publisher propaganda (like with all the movie/music shit), because he actually talks bad about both sides ;) 
 
Who's raging? I'm annoyed because some ass is advocating stealing from me. 
Otherwise Known As 'baiting' 
nothing more. 
 
Sure. He doesn't actually pirate games and he wasn't seriously advocating it. No, he was simply baiting me. Wake up. 
Hmm

Yeh, pretty much.

Hungover atm, expansion of chipping still to follow... 
Wot. 
#1991 - YOU ARE TEH GAY.

#2000 - What a waste of post #2000. 
It's #2008 
Bits are bits.

If your business model can't deal with the implications of sharing something at zero marginal cost for both consumer and producer...

it's #2008.

And Then You Have Shops Selling Used Games 
Where a third part makes money without any compensation to developers while avoiding the "theft" issue. 
In The Late 80's 
here in the States, the music industry tried to put a stop to resell stores with lawsuits and the like when those stores flourished in the CD era only to be bitched slapped by the Courts. 
Heh 
Someone can charge you to look at a picture.
Someone can draw the picture

You can take a photograph of something beautiful and sell it for money

You can go and look at something beautiful for free

You can draw a picture and people can look at it for free and if it looks beautiful then they will love it, and you created it so they will love you too!

In the real world people have to suffer to stay alive 
RoE 
not as polished I'd say as D3, but theres more detail and I am still liking this. 
 
Totem Destroyer 
Spirit 
wow, that game has great art. where did you find it? 
Can't Remember 
usual web floating with brain shut off 
The Indiegames Blog Maybe? 
from irc:
<Lunaran> so, 8bit killer is in fact awesome
<Lunaran> but you can't save
<Lunaran> you can't even warp to a stage you've played up to before
<Lunaran> so playing through 3 and a half episodes and then dying is kind of the last I'll ever play
<Lunaran> because I really don't want to do all of it again

But, you know, try it, if you have a completely uninterrupted 3 hour stretch to burn. 
Yeah 
especially annoying because you're so slow in that game :( 
More On Gears Of War PC 
I have a serious love/hate relationship with this game. The game looks absolutely stunning and plays great. However due to some bug, I am forced to play the game in windowed mode. If I play it in full-screen, it ALWAYS crashes after 2-10 minutes. Looking at the forums, it seems that it's a common issue for many people and the few proposed solutions seem to only work for half the users, sadly I don't belong to that half. Game is patched, Windows and all the drivers are up to date.

Thankfully, there doesn't seem to be much (any?) of a perfomance hit for playing in windowed mode, but it does feel a bit odd to play the game in a 1280x800 window against a 1680x1050 desktop. 
OK - Not A Complete Solution 
but why dont you set the desktop resolution to 1280 x 800? 
Totem Destroyer 
That's a pretty nice game. 
You Could 
temporarily apply a windows color scheme that turns everything black, and just center the window perfectly and pretend it's letterboxed.

I guess it would be kind of hard to get your old theme back when you were done though. 
Assassins Creed (pc) 
About 4-5 hours into this game...

Pro's

+ Amazing city sizes / draw distance
+ Climb anything and go anywhere
+ Animation is simply amazing
+ The story "twist" (dont wanna spoil)
+ Great sound

Con's

- Combat controls are a bit wonky, takes time to get used to it (still not got it down 100%)
- Can get annoying sometimes when you need to walk slowly to avoid detection

Loving it so far though! Its great fun bounding over rooftops at breakneck pace to stab an archer in the face before he see's you. Its a very brutal game also with some adult themes (I don't mean porn!) that are dealt with quite nicely. The twist on the whole story is very intelligently done and adds a lot to the game, Im really interested in finding out where its going, but I dont want to say anything here in-case I spoil it for someone :)
