Yea, I'm not sure if Halo did it first but possibly the game's popularity made developers copy that more than any other game. The dual analog sticks started with PS1 controllers around 1997 so I wonder what games used that control scheme a few years before Halo came out. I need to go play Duke Nukem 3D on PS1 again to remember how the controls worked. Maybe that was one.
My feeling exactly.
I saw an ad for RWBY and noticed it was by Rooster Teeth. I didn't know this was what they were doing after Halo. Or maybe they still do a Halo show too? I've lost track of them.
I think I just responded to your responce on "Of Steam and Catching Fire", but now I don't see it anywhere. Weird.
I need a game that really cranks my nobs and some extra money lying around. That perfect storm usually happens for me six months to a year after new consoles come out. If I could afford it, I would probably get caught up in all the hype and buy at least one of the conosoles on day-one.
I rage quit Lost Planet about half way through today. The mechs move very slowly and some of the bosses really hammer you before you can maneuver or get a shot off.
I've also read Guns, Germs and Steel and Collapse by Jared Diamond. He's great.
Oh man, that B-52's album is the bomb. "Hero Worship" is my favorite song off that one, and yes I know what she's singing about. I still like it for its wild abandon.
I used to love vinyl. I had so much of it at one time too. I finally transitioned to digital when the price of vinyl approached used CDs at around $7. Vinyl used to be a cheap way to check out new music, albums for 25 cents or a dollar each. Now, not so much.
I guess this is all to make up for the "dickwolves" thing that happened a few years ago. I read about it in this Wired article. They're giving free space to exhibitors who promote diverse interests in gaming. I guess that's good but it seems like a quick bandaid to make up for Mike Krahulik's rather crass stand on a joke involving rape. I can see why he wants to shove it in people's faces who didn't get the joke in his strip but there's a time to stand up for a joke and a time to just let it go because it touches a nerve in people. The good comic has to ultimately give in to the crowd if he wants to stay on stage. I think he's hurting himself by doing things like making "dickwolf" t-shirts. I'm not sure this diversity lounge thing is going clean up his image. What was he thinking?
What a great bunch of RPGs for iOS! Man, I need to get a tablet. Oh Sumo Santa.
I think it was leeradical here at Pixlbit who knows Over-G Fighters better than I who only played it an hour or two.
