Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

You have to equip it before they set out into the dungeon. It takes up actual space in their total inventory too, but you can tit them out pretty well.
Sometimes they will want to buy stuff in your store, like a weapon or armor -- sell them something good for cheap because it will become one of their default items.
Then one of them will inevitably buy a shit dagger or something when you're not paying attention and replace a better it with it.
trying to teach food how to read and count was a noble goal but bound to end in failure

Wait...now I need to read that.
There's an awful joke about cannibalism in there somewhere.
"There is not a man of us who does not at times need a helping hand to be stretched out to him, and then shame upon him who will not stretch out the helping hand to his brother."
I continue down the path of learning by trial and error

It's not a bad idea if you are a debauched wealthy socialite who wants to learn how to cook legit fancy meals without actually wanting to pursue that career
Because cooking is one of those things where it's hard to learn the top-level stuff since there's TOO MUCH information available and it is hard to parse and evaluate all of it without expertise

That sucks. I'll mistakenly listen to some more Anthrax in tribute.
Yeah I just slowly learn stuff on my own. I can't make sauces except roux for Mac and cheese

It feels like there won't be as much of the whole brooding protagonist who goes on about all the terrible shit he had to do yet ends up committing mass murders anyway
Aioli = slightly runny mayo with stuff in it. Mayo is dead easy to make, even easier if you have an immersion blender.
Oh that must be why I failed at it. now I have an immersion blender
I don't want it to be as zany as Saint's Row but I would definitely welcome a bit more of a sense of fun
or even just, if it wants to go serious, it needs to commit and do it right and not half-ass it. GTAIV had serious problems with you'd do a mission that had you beat a man to death who was begging for his life or something and your guy would talk about what a monster he was and then the mission would be over and you'd be outside of a fast food restaurant named after a vagina

Two contexts: First, "stuff what's smelly, like herbs". Second, the big ones are onion/celery/carrot/garlic, stuff that when cooked adds a punch of flavor to the dish.
If you're serious about needing the basics, then http://www.amazon.com/The-Elements-Cooking-Translating-Kitchen/dp/1439172528 is freakin' good. "Twenty" (same author) is also really nice, goes into how and why you can use things like "salt" to get all sorts of effects.
I also like "Ratio", but that's a different thing he did, more about "breaking down recipes" than anything else.
So far it seems pretty stable. Admittedly I haven't exactly taxed it since after a few early bitch slappings I went only 3 opponents and on Easy to get a better feel for how the game plays but it's been just fine performance-wise so far.
You can accelerate time a lot though (I stopped hitting "+" once it hit x10 and went back down to something more reasonable) so I wonder if the performance problems people were hitting were related to cracking the game speed up in a game with max opponents and universe size.
I hope this means that upon reading that post, you yelled "AIOLI!", put your fists in the air, and then immediately bought an immersion blender on Amazon
I wonder if they'll include that tallest building that you could drive a vehicle into, have it appear on the roof, and then drive off into the sky.
I think it's kind of hitting a note that is basically exactly what I want in that it'll probably be a bit more dramatic than San Andreas and the first two Saints Row games but not so much as GTA IV
That's only given quite limited information, mind, but still it really does look like they're taking most after Ballad of Gay Tony which was far and away the best part of GTA IV
Then experiment, in a very scientific way, like trying to make a difficult sauce multiple times in a row. Expensive though, sometimes.
Hell, if they wanted to really stretch it, I feel like Team America: World Police would have been the perfect note
Your merchandising empire has stretched all over the world and now you ruthlessly protect your brand across the globe
That kind of shit, not this weird super-powered alien mess
Saint's Row has gone to a place where I'm not really interested in following
my jam is definitely the middle-of-the-road melodrama like Sleeping Dogs or the more down to earth parts of San Andreas. I mean, the fun of these games is in the mayhem you can cause, so I don't really want the story to be rubbing my face in what a monster my character is, but there are ways (like having really hateful bad guys, the way San Andreas did) to kind of make that acceptable and palatable while still having some dramatic stakes.

not sure how to deal with finals week knowing that I won't be returning.
Giantbomb's little preview addressed this in a smart way. The 3 protag system lets you do this well since one guy is a nut so his solo stuff can be over the top insane style crimes where the other 2 can be laid back with more grounded crime stuff.
Have they confirmed if it's gonna be co op yet?
It seems like it'd be weird not to, but I can't find any "yep, gonna be co op" anywhere.
Oh man that's awful. My sympathies.
The guys I'm with now offer me for $50 a month (Im bundled with my cable and phone so I got a "deal")
14Mbps up
2Mbps down
125 GB cap
These other guys who would be internet only for the same price offer me either
Cable
30 Mbps down
2 Mbps up
200 GB cap
and an unmetered usage window from 2-8am everyday
OR
DSL
25 Mbps down
10 Mbps up
300 GB cap
and an unmetered usage window from 2-8am everyday
Im going to have to convince the lady to let us switch.
They didnt talk about co-op but it seems like the story will have none but it sounds like there will be multiplayer content to help recreate that stuff.
Beer festival good then?
Nah it's not like some awful unfortunate circumstance. I made a lot of bad decision.
I appreciate the sympathy though.
