I found this random Caramelldansen gif.

And?

And?

I'm guessing that post was too small even for this thread?

Dynamithix 04-17-2012 11:48 PM

Yes and caramelldansen is horrible.

For those who may have missed it yesterday/didn't check the Minecraft topic, I made this:



Also check out CryEngine 3 - But I wonder what hardware will be needed to run it? It's a long-standing joke that it's called the Cry engine because it makes computers cry when they try to run it.



Brown-trousers time:

UCK! I hate the Cry exploding steam engine. It churns it's way to death while it keeps your computer stuck in a trance, no matter how long you wait, your computer is fucked either way.

Just about everyone hates it.

Havoc 04-18-2012 02:59 PM

Get a better computer. That engine is not designed to be run at the highest settings on any average computer.

When the very first Cry Engine game Crysis 1 came out I made the same mistake. I had a top of the line computer at the time, all the latest hardware. So I figured I should be able to run it on Ultra. Running around was still possible, be it far from smooth. But the initial jump from the plane was horrible with framerate 1. And I couldn't go into the options either because it was still considered a cutscene, lol. Took like 10 minutes to finally hit the ground.

I once danced the Caramelldansen with my mates at a houseparty. Yep.

Havoc 04-18-2012 05:11 PM

I'm sure Wil would give you a private tour of the JAW HQ just to have video of that. No wait, then he'd have you alone. Don't do it!

Dynamithix 04-19-2012 06:41 AM

This is how I feel about Fez.



Also, a brilliantly done mock film of Donald Duck.


Crashpunk 04-19-2012 07:54 AM

I'm not ever doing the caramelldasen again for obvious reasons. It's fucking embarrassing.

I was already unimpressed by how dismissive and condescending the guy sounded, but when he starts laying into Phil Fish after only getting halfway through the video? That’s when I had enough.

What is it about Phil Fish that makes internet tough guys start coming out of the woodwork to insult him?

You do realize that the reviewer(s) and the whole channel is basically satire? None the less, they are usually correct or have a good point despite the sarcastic attitude and such.

He is full of himself, thinks that his game is a masterpiece and insults everyone giving him any sort of feedback. Plus, he looks like a fucking dork with those hipster glasses and the ugly as hell sideburns.

OANST 04-19-2012 09:38 AM

Fez is actually a pretty amazing game.

I figured as much, but as you said they obviously mean what they say. I can’t stand the smug “HEH indie games” and “HEH people think games are art” tones in the video, satire or not.

When did we as a society start judging creative works based on the people who made them? This is what I hate so much about the whole Fez hate brigade.

MeechMunchie 04-19-2012 12:47 PM

I haven't played the game so am unable to comment. I will, however, defend fezzes themselves to my worthy death.

"Look, the most important thing right now is we figure out - what is that on your head?"
"It's a fez. Fezzes are cool."

scrabface 04-19-2012 03:29 PM

again I know, but this is just too funny

NOO the hell with this pathetic display!


Crashpunk 04-19-2012 03:43 PM

Legend of Zelda meets Metal. Fuck yeah.

At least get the quote right, numbnuts.

"Right then, I have questions, but number one is this: What in the name of sanity have you got on your head?"
"It's a fez. I wear a fez now. Fezzes are cool."

MeechMunchie 04-20-2012 12:02 AM

Whatever. I haven't watched it in ages. I really don't how you can prove yourself better than someone with an encyclopaedic knowledge of Doctor Who.

Nate 04-20-2012 06:28 AM

I would have gotten the quote wrong myself if I was forced to say it impromptu. For some reason I thought it was 'What the devil do you have on your head?' But, you see, I'm anal enough to google these things rather than leave it to chance.

MeechMunchie 04-20-2012 09:55 AM

But not anal enough to correct me for missing out the word "understand".

Also, I love Matt Smith's hair.

Spooce-aholic 04-20-2012 04:47 PM

They should make an actual anime about this.


MeechMunchie 04-21-2012 07:14 AM

On the subject of wacky Jappies:

How to really help the world.

Also, Valve did a funny PR stunt. This is their 'leaked' employee guide. http://dl.pcgamer.com/Valve_Handbook_LowRes.pdf

Also, the Guardian's more laidback weekend magazine had "God Save the Queen: The GAY Issue." This was the 'In Pictures' section.

This is the first OS-tan to recieve official support from Microsoft. They even made a commercial with her in it.



Why didn't they have this in western countries?

MeechMunchie 04-21-2012 03:16 PM

maybe it's because anime comes from japan

Dynamithix 04-21-2012 03:17 PM

No more of this OS-weeaboo shit, please.

MeechMunchie 04-21-2012 03:45 PM

Just a second.

http://c.mfcdn.net/store/manga/1897/..._c058_p001.jpg

Okay.

Wings of Fire 04-21-2012 03:59 PM

I chew out Strike Witch for posting screencaps and things with better punchlines than that.

Just Saiyan.

I second this.
