Nice! I like the second one a lot, actually.

I put "art" in quotes because I have no talent. All I do is smear colors around, but I do find it very relaxing. Thought I'd share.

Saw it yesterday, and I liked it! (which is saying something, because I make an effort to not like Tom Cruise movies )
 
The focused a lot on the actual 'alien takeover' aspect of the movie, which was a nice surprise.

I picked up S01 on Blu-ray the other day. The image quality and 5.1 DTS sound really make it an even more pleasurable experience. Way better than watching it on TV. You almost feel like your in the room with them during certain scenes. The extras, especially the gag reel, are great too!
 
Started S02 again, left off at EP06. I missed a bunch of things. Watching it all the way through is the way to go.

Wow. Not buying it anymore.

hhmm
 
wonder if I could play this at work....
 
Well! Time to find out!

New patch released today, quality, might have a go over the weekend. Only problem is that now 'bird on hand does not appear as often'. WTF?   
 
Hey Everyone, Here’s our first small update to ‘The Forest’. While we were working on the saving issues we also had a chance to fix a few other things. Here is the changelog for the “hotfix”: 
 
Saving at small shelter now works  Fixed issue where camera would spin during plane crash if a controller was plugged in  Fixed enemies sometimes disappearing after a few days  Improved tree collision  Fixed log cabin floating  Fixed some leaves not connected to trunk  Improved stuttering/performance  Removed lights from blue cave creatures  Fixed trees vanishing when exiting caves  Fixed bug where cave sounds could be heard above ground  Spelling mistake on shelter ‘warmth’ in book  Improved collision in some cave areas  Fixed missing cliff detail texture  Ocean shouldn’t loose render texture on start  Water visuals improved  Fixed enemy head duplicating when picked up  Fixed glitch where you could make infinite flare guns  Fixed enemy head icon not centered, and showing an arm instead of a head  Heads/arms and legs now go to inventory instead of being directly equipped  Bird on hand does not appear as often

Welcome to the party.

I think for some people it also has to do what mood they're in. If I'm in the mood to watch a movie or a read a book, then I'd probably be in the mood to play a story driven game. But if I've had a long day, I usually would rather play something that doesn't require a lot of thinking or attachment. 
 
But when it comes down to it, games that are heavily story driven tend to make my favorites list. 

Damn, now I want a CoD game with dragons. Can you imagine?
 

Different types of gamers
 
I’ve been meaning to start this topic for a while now, and with Doc playing The Last of Us, it has rekindled my interest. Different people prefer different types of games, obviously, let’s talk about the reasons why.
 
 
Here are some benchmarks
Entirely story driven: Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls
Mostly story driven: The Last of Us, Uncharted
50/50 story/gameplay: Mass Effect, Fallout, Metal Gear
Mostly gameplay: CoD, Bayonetta, God of War
Entirely gameplay: Sports games, puzzle games (Tetris), Dark Souls
 
Some folks prefer story driven games, others require good gameplay, still others demand both. Personally I like them all; I think there’s a place for them all, though I lean heavily in favor of story. I’d much rather choose between things I like and dislike, versus choose among things that are all samey same.
 
When it comes to people like what they like, I have some theories. I think gamers can be lumped into two broad groups, those that ‘play’ games and those that ‘experience’ games. I’m not sure how else to describe it. I believe it has to do largely with how emotional of a person you are, or perhaps it’s imagination. Are you a dreamer or a realist, prone to wandering thoughts or locked into the here and now. Are you empathetic or indifferent towards others.
 
How you are as a person in real life, I think characterizes the sorts of games you’re drawn to. I’m very emotional, very empathetic, and a romantic in every sense of the word. A good story driven game sucks me in and stirs all sorts of emotions, which to me, makes for fantastic entertainment. But if you’re less touchy feely, a story game may leave you bored.
 
At the other end of the spectrum are gamer ‘athletes’. I think these people find enjoyment in the physical aspect of gaming. Hand eye coordination, speed, dexterity, reaction time. To them, playing a game is a precision sport. I’m thinking of MLG types. Or if not the physical aspect, then the competitive, where the game simply provides a forum to compete against others.
 
Finally there’s the strategy aspect. Strategy is present in both story games and competitive games; sometimes it’s the entire point of the game (Portal). People who like strategy games are probably those who enjoy problem solving in real life. People who spend a lot of time in contemplation and who plan more so than get out there and do.
 
So my question is, what type of personality do you have and can you see a relationship between that and the type of games you enjoy?
 
Here’s a little diagram I made to help visually describe what I’m talking about. The circle is drawn around my most favoritist games.
 

See, there IS a problem with PC. You always have too many games 
 
Like, it doesn't matter if there's 6 games I haven't played yet, steam can't be selling games for five bucks. Because then I'll 7 games I haven't played yet.

Today, I'm going to share one of my favorite games of all time with you guys. It's called OFF.
 
It's a free-to-play adventure RPG that was originally made in French. You control a character known only as "The Batter," who is on an important mission to purify the land he lives in. You know nothing about him or the land, and as you go through the game, getting help from a cat called "The Judge" and a man named Zacharie, finding out more about your surroundings and The Batter only works to skew your perception.
 
It's definitely the most surreal game I've played, and even though it was insanely difficult for me (I'm terrible at puzzles - and this game has a lot of puzzles), I really love it. It's got an awesome story, awesome characters, and awesome music.

I've taken a punt on this game as it's on steam for a tenner. It's still buggy and doesn't save your game yet so I'm in no hurry.
 
Not had a chance to play (addicted to Wolfenstein: The new order) 'cos I'm busy obliterating Nazis from the face of the earth.
 
No pasaran

Ghost Pirates.
No one can defend this bullshit. Please no one defend this bullshit.

Starting early this week
Expect it to go on through the whole week
 
SEO is a PITA I have to do it for every sub forum
 
This is a good thing though, it will help us rank higher on search results
 

I must have missed the recent post in question because I have no idea what you guys are talking about.
 
Me personally, I have no ill feelings towards anyone, not even towards Adam   lol. Seriously though, IMO it does not matter who agrees with whom, or what someone's feelings about religion or politics may be, there's nothing wrong with disagreeing. Disagreeing and disrespecting are two different things though so we all need to keep that in mind because it's easy to be venomous online because you don't have to look that person in the eye. So replies online are easy to have the respect/emotion aspect removed from and that makes it easy to say things you would not say in person face to face.
 
All boils down to the most basic rule our Mom taught all of us as a little kid. Treat others as you would want them to treat you. Do that and all the drama will fade right away.
