    Nintendo Announces Super Mario Odyssey for the Switch

    Honestly, I looked at the first few seconds of the trailer and got super worried. Mario feels uncanny in a realistic city. Fortunately, the majority of the trailer is somewhat standard Mario fare. I'm not in love with the darker colors that are adding to the realism though. Mario has become this...

    Zelda: Breath of the Wild Will Launch With the Switch, Master Edition Announced

    Pleaaaase don't suck. After Skyward Sword's open but not at all open world, I don't think my fan-hood can stand another colossal disappointment. God speed, Nintendo.

    League of Legends Opens Fantasy Leagues as Summer Pro Games Begin

    Ah ok. I can understand that LoL has a larger playership so perhaps news there gets priority around the net. It's just weird seeing events that have equivalents in DotA not making news while LoL ones do (e.g new heroes being released). Sorry for being a bit blunt and thanks for replying...

    League of Legends Opens Fantasy Leagues as Summer Pro Games Begin

    Is it just me or does the Escapist have a ridiculous pro-LoL bias (over DotA)? These piddly feature additions somehow makes "news" but the fact that the Compendium was released doesn't?

    Science is based on faith?

    Nahhhhhhhhhhhh. At least for generally accepted theories, there are mountains of everyday evidence that are based on the predictive powers of scientific theories. e.g theory of relativity causing the need for slight time corrections in GPS satellites, electromagnetic theories allowing for...

    The Big Picture: Original Geek Girl

    Untrue, but if you believe that, I encourage you to take your opinions elsewhere, to people that you employ or lend money to.

    The Big Picture: Original Geek Girl

    My problem with fake geek girls is they get my hopes up for geeky conversation and then dash them quite expertly. Outward appearance becomes harder to use as a cultural identifier. I like showing my stuff to other people, but I go to geeks to GET shown stuff. Also, isn't that kind of "image...

    A Walk in the Dark Is No Walk in the Park

    The thing that really stood out was the dodginess of the fox or whatever's animations, particularly on wall jumps. Might be alright.

    Ice sliding puzzle game

    Hey, thanks for the feedback. All of this sounds great but it's a bit of work to implement. I'm probably going to focus on my next project in lieu of making these modifications. It's good to know these things though and I'll definitely be keeping all this in mind. Thanks again for the...

    Ice sliding puzzle game

    Yeah, I tried that too, but it felt really awkward having to drag for every movement =\ Both ways, chasing after the block with the mouse feels terrible. I was considering a clickable dpad for both players, but there isn't really anywhere to fit such a thing... Extending the game window would...

    Ice sliding puzzle game

    Good day/night all, Thanks so much for all the feedback! It's utterly frustrating how few suggestions are actually dropped in the Kongregate comments. Not any levels, I'm just about to add a scoreboard for moves per level. It's written in HTML5/javascript on top of the kineticjs library...

    Ice sliding puzzle game

    Hello all, I've made a pretty difficult puzzle game out of the classic ice-sliding type puzzles we all know and love (a la Pokemon's Ice Cave). http://www.kongregate.com/games/nik3daz/slide This is my first attempt at making a game and any feedback is appreciated; please rate it and...

    Recommend me some DS games

    If you enjoyed Layton for its story and characters, look into the Ace Attorney series and Ghost Trick. They're Capcom games focusing on story and intrigue with gameplay that revolves around solving puzzles to advance the plot (as opposed to Layton's disjoint puzzles which began to feel tedious...
