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.

    Concert or club? :P

    Concert, which was essentially a rave. I danced hard for three hours, in addition to running this morning I definitely filled my exercise quota for the day.

    Excellent :D Again, do not misinterpret my agrees! But this sounds awesome and I'm assuming 3 hours of dancing means you had a good time!

    As I play San Andreas, I like to imagine that the various humiliations CJ endures help broaden his worldview.

    You play GTA in a weird way.

    it fits! the whole game is kind of about learning that the hood life is stupid bullshit.

    also I need some kind of plausible reason for why I like dressing in the biker outfit, riding around the mountains and listening to All My Exes Live in Texas

    Not gonna lie, I used to play imaginary meta games in GTA all the time. Like I'd sometimes actually just walk around the streets at a normal walking pace just to get a sense for what the city feels like to an AI pedestrian. In IV I would sometimes take full-length cab rides and not skip them, just to look out the windows and watch the city go by.

    I do this too!

    So did I.

    Also I never fast traveled in Skyrim unless I couldn't avoid it.

    OH! And the wagons between towns in Red Dead Redemption.

    I want to play a survival mod for Skyrim. No fast travel, and you have to eat and sleep regularly in order to survive.

    This has to exist already, I should go find it.

    You and I have completely different ideas of what constitutes fun in an RPG.

    I think needing to eat and sleep in your games is perhaps the worst mechanic ever invented. But this is OK!

    We can like different things.

    No. You are mistaken.

    I mean, I'm not saying I'd want to play the entire game like that, nor is it how I like all my RPGs. But I think it would be a fun experience and make it more immersive.

    In fact, all this talking about GTA4 is making me wanna go back through the single-player with this trainer I found that lets you spawn up to 7 bodyguards that follow you around (including nabbing nearby cars to follow you if you get into a vehicle!) and protect you. It also does all kinds of other fun stuff, like spawn dozens of hostile pedestrians with M16s for street warfare type scenarios.

    I would have payed cash monies to do two player coop Undead Nightmare though.

    I really want to play a game that is all about surviving and exploring a living, breathing, hostile world.

    Like, basically a game where you land on a new continent with some meager supplies and the entire game is just exploring the continent learning its past, exploiting is resources, surviving its hardships.

    But this has to be CORE to the game. It has to be the meat and potatoes of the game. If its just tacked on to some other game I have no interest at all.

    DGR drafts seem pretty cool so far.

    I drafted a Dimir-Simic-Golgari deck with some black rakdos unleashers and two copies of the enchantment that lets you draw a card every time your creatures with +1/+1 counters do combat damage to players. At one point I had two copies on the board and a Simic Fluxmage who was handing out +1/+1 counters like cheap cigars. Many cards to be drawn.

    I am comforted by Richard Dawkins’ theory of memes. Those are mental units: thoughts, ideas, gestures, notions, songs, beliefs, rhymes, ideals, teachings, sayings, phrases, clichés that move from mind to mind as genes move from body to body. After a lifetime of writing, teaching, broadcasting and telling too many jokes, I will leave behind more memes than many. They will all also eventually die, but so it goes. - Roger Ebert, I Do Not Fear Death

    Survival games are a thing! I haven't played a good one in a long time, though. I ought to look around and see what's out.

    I loved survival mode in New Vegas and hope any future Fallout games integrate it. It added so much to the feel of the game when you were scrounging for, not just bullets or l33t OP guns, but tins of food and canteens of water.

    In a game set in a normal world, I'm fine with handwaving some of that stuff away, but in a game about survival I thought it helped sell the world immeasurably.

    Hahahaha. You know how after the last election, the Republican party has recently made some half hearted attempts to woo the Hispanic vote so that the party doesn't become completely irrelevant by 2016?

    Their Florida State Director of Hispanic Outreach just decided to become a Democrat, because the GOP is too intolerant.
