to be precise, he wasn't bringing it up. He was just using it to emphasize the greatness of it by describing his emotions/thoughts. That's about the same as if one of us others says "it's so worth the $$". That doesn't really bring up the question if capitalism is right unless you look at it funny for a while ;-) 

If you have to include a disclaimer, you're already over the line. :)

Is till think Colonial Marines is a better concept, but I must admit this looks goooood 

If you wanted TF2 but were too broke to get it before, now's your chance as it is only $2.49 for a limited time.

Kill 'em and take their stuff. 

hell yes, the trailer reminds me so much of the original AvP game that rebellion did. That was such a fantastic game!

Really looking forward to this! 

Diablo with modded graphics. Even the town music is "heavily inspired" by the Tristram theme.

Still loving it.

Loot! Make sure to play on very-hard, cause normal is way too easy... So addictive. 

If Torchlight gets released in a sexy box it will be the first game since fucking S.T.A.Lhas encountered a problem I will buy. It is a bit too WoWish for my taste, I would like a proper inventory, diablo-ish character screen and icons for the spells(?). The font is kinda hard to read (at least in 800x600). And sometimes there is just a bit much effects. I prefer high detail "epic" like Diablo but well played just 2 hours non-stop. 

What do you mean by proper inventory? YOu mean where objects take up various space?
I'm happy they ditched that, I hated playing tetris with my items in diablo2, and diablo 3 has gone with the 1-slot-per-item technique too if you check the videos.

AFAIK they ditched that and went back to tetris. 

It is possible to retain the idea of items taking different space within an inventory without having to worry about tetris.

The simplest, but not very practical way, is just to make the inventory 1-dimensional. That way all packings are optimal, and there is nothing to worry about. Nobody really wants to have to scroll down a very tall inventory which is only one box wide though, so a better interface to that inventory would be needed

The idea I just had was to take that 1 dimensional representation of the inventory, and then just have it snake up and down the screen. That way you can render the whole thing in a square area, but the areas that items occupy sometimes bend around corners.

You might have to work a little harder to display icons for the items within their space, which could be tall and thin, or irregularly shaped at a corner. Perhaps a tileable texture which conveys item type would fill the space in background. Then an icon could float to fit in the tallest continuous space the item occupies. Since you're always guaranteed ceil(item_size/2) height, even on a corner, you could still have that icon as fixed height. 

Yeah, I like actually seeing the items in the inventory. The 1 slot just makes it harder to see what is what. :)

I forgot to say that Normal mode is really really easy. I guess I should have started harder but now I don't want to start again. 

Very hard is alot funner yeah, normal was boring. =\

Preach, well, you can always go for a weight system otherwise... but I like that even less I think. 

worked very well.

... nice try... so please now post what you really meant :P

It's a flash game fairly similar to "escape the room" type flash puzzle games, but now you're trying to disassemble a radio:

I liked that the one part wasn't a hard fail. That would have pissed me off... 

yeah, i got a little annoyed for a bit then figured it out. :P 

Did not make any sense to me, the dismantle radio puzzle, turned the various dials and nothing happened, no visual clues about what is going on. I usually dismantle stuff with a screwdriver! :P 

ok that was cool, but what confused me was the wording, the icon in the top right said 'back' which really mean't, turn the radio around and look at the back. The word back usually means go backwards in a menu or an option. Oh well ...
