I believe you mean a steamPUNK hooker? I have no idea how a steam hooker would work, and am terrified to find out how.DVS BSTrD said:
As for the video, I totally lost it at the bit with Optimus Prime and Soundwave, since I just got Transformers: Fall of Cybertron yesterday. Shall I assume yahtzee's gonna rip that game up, since his War for Cybertron review was less than favorable? Odd that he'd express interest in Sleeping Dogs, just 4 minutes after sticking it in Soundwave's chest.
i still like steam and i got many games form them by now. just recently i had some connection problems and the damn offline mode dint work. WTF??? what is the offline mode for if it doesnt work. it always kept telling me it cant connect to steam network.
i know that, my connection is down. now let me in to my library so i can play some orcs must die 2 and symphony. ah yes, i cant.
i still remember that this mode actually worked fine. dont know why they have changed it.

Mm, you would think the orcy antagonists would at least try to engage you directly...
And that garotte option in adventure games actually sounds weirdly compelling.

When Tony Hawk came to Gamescom this year I used the crowd he gathered.
Because all those wankers were standing at the foot of his giant ramp, viewing the spectacle through their camera phones and essentiall blocking my view anyway, I snuck out of there and got into some booths whose waiting lines had been cut in half.
After all, it is called GAMEScom and not FindYourIdolAndVideoHimFromAll360DegreesAtTheSameTime.

My favorite part of this entire thing was "oh well fuck that noise" right at the end. I say that all the time. Fucking love that phrase because I don't hear many people using it.
I got a pretty good chuckle out of it.

The Christmas sale is in about 4 months, it will probably be 50% then, seeing Batman Arkham City was released in November and received a 50% discount on the last Christmas sale it seems like a possibility.Aircross said:
It was released a week ago in Australia so my guess is that he didn't have the time to get a review done on such a short time.canadamus_prime said:
Well, probably because Orcs Must Die 2 just came out, and Dungeon Defenders was released nearly a year ago. I had exactly the opposite experience compared to yours. Out of the 450 games I have on Steam, DD is the single purchase I regret the most. It's the only game I can think of where playing it actually makes me angry, not because of the game itself but because the UI and camera and things like that are absolute garbage and pretty blatantly just poorly ported over from the console version with no thought put into how they'd work on the PC.chimeracreator said:
It runs great, and there's reasonably interesting/fun gameplay underneath all that, but it's just so frustrating to try to play the stupid thing that I found it impossible to enjoy myself, whether alone or with my friends. There are just so many very basic, simple things that they made much more awkward to do than necessary that would've been trivial to fix that it drove me nuts. Orcs Must Die was still mildly console port-y too, but nothing in comparison to DD, so even with the reduced depth and lack of multiplayer I had a lot more fun with it just because I could stand to play it for more than a few hours.
For the hundred time: Yahtzee, play "Sacrifice". Its the RTS + 3rd Person View + RPG story driven by player interaction and choice fantasy that STARTED and inspired games like Brutal Legend and Orc Must Die 2 since 2000.
What are you waiting for?

Hmm Tim Tam's. They came out in my corner of Canada last year, I heard good things about this Aussie delicacy so I had high expectations... but was kind of disappointed really. Thought they would have been better as a soft chocolate cookie rather than a crunchy one.

It finally happened, after years of watching Zero Punctuation.....I'm finally tired of listening to Yahtzee. His fast-paced comedic review style just doesn't entertain me or make me laugh the way it used to; I still think his views on video games are very well thought out with justified opinions and valid criticisms but the same old format of videos has really started to bore me. His jokes are obviously not predictable but his style of delivery certainly is, and that which becomes predictable becomes boring after a while. I think I've only been continuing to watch his videos out of sheer habit this last year or so when in reality I was as probably uninterested in them then as I am now. So long Yahztee, it's been fun but you've just become stale for me, I'm sure me departing will leave a huge dint in your viewership.
I still say FUCK STEAM. Fuck them for their annoying auto update of games if I don't want it. Fuck them for claiming I don't own my games. Fuck them for feeling like they have the right to ban or disable accounts who they want... and just fuck DRM in general.
I say you're very wrong. I've never had a problem with Dungeon Defenders' UI or Camera. I figured it out relatively fast and the camera has never been wonky for me or anything. Maybe the problem's with you and not the game? I dunno.Nalgas D. Lemur said:
You obviously haven't played Amnesia the Dark Descent (excellent at horror, playing with the imagination of players), Limbo, Legend of Grimrock, Fez, Bastion (for tight characterisation and storytelling), Unepic, Terraria and Minecraft... and I'm just naming the few that have come out recently.MetallicaRulez0 said:
