    The Big Picture: Going Green, Part II

    OK so fear? Fine. Anger? Wonderful. Love? OK. But WILL-POWER? Will-power is an emotion? And on the 'emotional spectum' It comes right between hope and fear? Where is my red pen of doom?

    Baelor

    It is clever how all the characters are looking the other way (or unconcious) when there is a battle. War, like sport, is much more exciting when you only follow the scores after the fact.

    Poll: do you like jimquisition?

    To be fair, I only watched the first episode but something about his voice made me want to hit things. Thats not his fault of course. Can't even remember what he was blathering on about now.

    I hearby add my tick to the SMASHY SMASHY option. And so does the rest of the lab. We might just like breaking things though...

    262: Stop Killing the Foozle!

    Does Myst count as Foozle-less? While there are bad guys they aren't actively trying to destroy the world. In fact you could say they they are already 'defeated' when you turned up, its a game set AFTER the big boss battle. If you choose to do nothing in Myst, nothing happens, the game...

    Question of the Day, May 2, 2010

    'Myst' et al. Although if we're purely going for the art factor I'd have to recommend 'realMyst'. The whole game is exploration and what is not arty all that beautiful scenery? Plus there is a great plot which may or may not be relevent in this context. Uncertainty is also arty.

    The Worst Forced Stealth Section

    Neo-Tokyo in Timesplitters 2, never did get past that level.

    The first game you ever completed that you were proud of.

    Myst, and I hardly cheated at all! I've actually just completed Myst 5, that was a happy feeling!

    Series that betrayed you.

    Myst 5 End of Ages. They ditched real actors for poorly CG-ed ones and the game kept hijacking the camera to make me watch cutscenes for no very good reason. Myst 1-4 were all about first person alone-in-a-strange-place type puzzle solving and (i hate to use the word) immersion! Playing Myst...

    What is your biggest reason for not finishing a game.

    If there is too much time between boss fights/story digests then I'm likely to be distracted by something more immediately interesting and then forget what I'm meant to be doing. Either that or the sun comes out!
