    Oh no, third-person switching for the melee kills -_-

    I like the UI, from the bottom of my inexperience, i'd say impressive making the phone in Source.

    I don't know what do you think of him, but mr. Pachter replied to a question about sales well before they were coming out, and to me it made perfect sense.

    Not surprised at all that both consoles are selling out everywhere and that they are on par as numbers.

    but due to the 100$ advantage PS4 should outsell BXO imo

    Guess that the marketing has done a good job and there are also enough loyal fans upgrading to prevent that to happen for now.

    Not really no? I think there's a lot of apt critique for the game, but the last thing I would call it is probably too indie.


    Either way, instead of listening to others and especially since you already bought it, why don't you just try it yourself? What does my, presumably biased, opinion matter in this?

    Of course, i am not going not to play it because of a feedback like that i was curious if you had reviews saying something like that (I didn't bothered to read any).As per playing it, i need the machine first. Today i'm off and looking through black friday deals if i can find any bargain to finally get a decent one.

    Sentura: my ex collague i worked with on the mobile games with told me he got RoTT but he wasn't satisfied, reason being "it's too indie, you can tell". Does it make any sense? O.o

    Is it going to be enjoyable even if one has never played the previous chapters?

    More games I can't play I bought:

    Dishonored GOTY – I don't expect DLCs to get lower price before next season

    RoTT

    Bioshock Infinite

    Edge - it was -90%

    I was surprised when I saw that the UK price of Dishonored was nearly half of the Italian one!

    I feel Blade Runner in this one, which is fun because it's the movie/novel i was drawing a lot from -visually speaking- when I started writing a sci-fi novel years ago.

    I understand architectural critiques, especially tubes repetetiveness (but we know it's early wip); i personally like the stylization a lot and i'm curious to see the final piece with just subtle textures that would make obvious the materials, but not necessarily giving colors.

    For some reason I generally like cel shading, and these early images makes no exception for me. Curious you mention P. K. Dick, the palette reminds me of the Scanner Darkly movie; being a fan of the writer I'm curious to see what you come up with.

    Keep us posted!

    Can only appreciate the fluid design. I like the new palette.

    Pity for the game covers... but a future upgrade could incorporate mediaqueries to have those back and resizable

    Yeah, MS already adopted it in Windows Phone/8 and it's the only smart choice, I still don't get why Apple and Google are working with bitmap icons that are such a pain to scale to all those sizes for the different instances they use it and now with hi-res displays.

    Uh oh, good finding!

    I scrolled thorugh the One's review and really liked the design of the article. Some high-profile web-designers were blogging articles accompaigned by tailor made designs years ago... this was bound to get some traction.

    Doesn't look bad at all!

    Is the mocking title enough to avoid © queries from EA?

    Joke for the people in the southern hemisphere?

    That's the only idea i could come up with. (But when i was in Namibia at this time, it was considered summer.)I was hoping someone already found some easter egg or that it was the first step of an ARG.

    You probably don't want to make all those details in Hammer, even if it's func_detail, and make a model instead.

    Ehm... whaddahell is the "sping sale"(???) banner + flipped menu at the bottom?? and if you click through also the contents are flipped

    Edit: damn, most of my wishlist is discounted... I got Another World last week on GOG -_-' guess i'll get Rise Of The Triad and Dishonored.

    Pescatarian fajitas and roasted sweetcorn:

    that'd be some veggies + salmon, cod and king prawns (sauteed separately). I think the fish was too cooked, or just not fres enough (i'm not used and don't like buying everything out of packages :-/ )

    Here is my post workout meal that i've just finished and it was fucking great

    Looking yummy, but if in the evening i'd cut on the chips. (Unless it's occasional.)

    Eh I usually don't notice a lot of detail during movies, I just see them as a whole instead. Sometimes an actor does good stuff and I can see that, but for the most part I can enjoy any movie (unless it's full of shit like Skyfall).

    I've got the same opinion about my attention level, i usually get immersed unless i feel the bollocks are really too apparent to not break the illusion. Like Dark Knight Rising, Skyfall I simply didn't like it too much hype.
