I walked past a guy smoking a pipe on my way home.

This is a thread full of old men (60+) who love playing Skyrim.

That is

Somehow heartwarming

That's awesome, shame some of the younger folks are being kinda condescending though. I guess it's just amazement.

Sometimes I feel like slapping you.

OANST 03-06-2012 11:34 AM

Only sometimes.

MeechMunchie 03-06-2012 12:30 PM

And now is one of those times.

STM 03-06-2012 03:44 PM

I don't know whats wrong with me. I laughed like a little baby when I saw this.

:monster:

Crashpunk 03-07-2012 08:20 AM

Ouch.

MeechMunchie 03-07-2012 09:54 AM

I saw an opportunity and I took it. Don't judge me.

I judged you.

MeechMunchie 03-07-2012 10:03 AM

What was your verdict?

Varrok 03-07-2012 10:46 AM

NOW you're being interested, eh?

Dynamithix 03-07-2012 11:14 AM

When you put that text in there, did you think it was really that funny? I certainly did not.

Wings of Fire 03-07-2012 11:27 AM

He judged you.

I don't even know what he's trying to say.

MeechMunchie 03-07-2012 11:32 AM

I think he's trying to say that memes are stupid.

Fine sir, I applaud you for your insight.

DarkHoodness 03-07-2012 12:09 PM

People need to chill if silly 'net memes upset them this much. :P

If you think what MM did was bad, someone even went as far as to make a mod for Skyrim, before steam workshop tools were released. This changed the troll sounds to the popular russian song, and also changed the texture of the face. It was crap. Heh.

(Edit: Oh yeah for those who don't check fan corner I just made this. It has 6 likes for 20 views in the past hour, so I must be doing something right. Also, Portal 1 levels in Portal 2's style! Shame about my vid corruption. :( )

STM 03-07-2012 12:10 PM

Yes, how dare you post internet memes on an internet forum board MM. How dare you!

I think someone already posted this but it made me laugh.

MeechMunchie 03-08-2012 12:19 PM

PC Gamer are at GDC. Valve are talking.

:

Okay, remember the Meet the Engineer teaser? You may remember going apeshit over a robotic glove and -BOOM- it was in the update. However, in less than thirty seconds, Valve crammed in a dozen or so references, winks, hints, and yes, even misleads. They’re Valve, that’s what they do, and almost immediately TF2 fans everywhere went about creating volumes of speculation threads… where Valve is watching you. Why would Valve spy on fans pouring over teases that aren’t even real? Because they’re not real yet. The TF2 team keeps a keen eye on what hidden glimpses are getting attention on message boards and social media avenues because that’s where “players are secretly voting on what goes in the update.” Ludwig slyly exclaimed. Valve loves to stir up speculation, but it takes the sting out of the head-scratching a bit once you realize they’re basically focus testing what you want, and what makes it into the final game. Such is the case with the Engineer’s glove: it hadn’t even been developed until eagle-eyed viewers caught a glimpse of it in the teaser and went nuts.

Mac Sirloin 03-08-2012 05:15 PM

Has this been posted already? WHO CARES IT'S SUPER COOL.

Dynamithix 03-08-2012 08:13 PM

Yes, I did in the music thread. I love it. Look at my avatar.

Mac Sirloin 03-08-2012 08:19 PM

I don't get it.

Dynamithix 03-08-2012 08:49 PM

Why not, my avatar is Kavinsky. Kavinsky made the track. I posted the song earlier in the music thread. I love it.

MeechMunchie 03-09-2012 10:35 AM

More GDC stuff.

For OddHunter.



Oh, and I got into PC Gamer again by accident, this time for picking up on a minor stylistic anomaly on their 'suggested plays' page.

DarkHoodness 03-09-2012 02:29 PM

That Potal 2 beta intro looks epic, I wonder why they didn't end up using it.

JennyGenesis 03-09-2012 02:41 PM

Yeah I agree, that does look better, but sadly, like a lot of games, some things are changed which ends up making them worse. My favourite example being Blur, the video below shows a very early version of the game, if they kept the game like this, then it would have been perfect, but the final version was totally different and is shit compared to the early version.

I’m not sure I like this. I like the concept behind it, but they’ve had some really strong ads in the past that didn’t rely on cheesy narratives like the Three Little Pigs.

Epic, yes. Cool, yes. But developers shouldn't include stuff just because it's epic and cool. The intro that made it in to the game introduces you to Wheatley, gives you a subtle explanation of what's been happening in the time since Portal 1 and demonstrates the decrepitude of Aperture.


I suspect that the intro shown in that video was from the point in Portal 2's development where they intended the protagonist to be a new character and not Chell.

MeechMunchie 03-09-2012 04:06 PM

@OH

Ah, I remember that. You can see at the end how they downsized it from A2.5 to A3. Steve Bell (the cartoonist responsible for the caricature of Bush and Blair in the middle) then proceeded to run a series of strips featuring a load of hysterical penguins flipping out over how their world wouldn't stop shrinking.

I've watched this a hundred times over the years, and it never gets any less funny.



PUNS

EDIT: Oh, how I laughed.
