STEAM: And why you should get it right now.

Team Fortress would rock too were I not abysmally bad at it.

One of the things I found was that TF2 was pretty fun even though I was/am abysmally bad at it.

Shinan's Interview Series

Some years ago I attempted to give back to the community by making audio interviews with people about their games. I managed to do two and a half interviews before my computer crashed and I never got back to it.

The first was an interview with jjesper82 about a Final Fantasy VI fangame.

The second was one with Merte but it had some major audio issues unfortunately. I still posted it up though but it's not really that listenable http://littlepig.sitesled.com/shinan/interviewmerte.mp3

I see on the upload dates that they were made in December 2007, so it's almost two years since I tried and failed. (They also sound very awkward to me... Though I guess if I had done a few more I'd eventually have gotten used to it)


But this is all boring backstory. I was thinking that perhaps I should try to get them started again. And I was wondering if there was 1) any interest in listening to these and 2) if there are any volunteers for a first "test run".

Everyone loves to pimp their game right? And even if English is not your native language that shouldn't be a problem since it's not mine either so we'll sound stupid together :)

EDIT 15.12.2009:
Episode 1 has been released! Interview with Kentona and ChaosProductions.

EDIT 22.1.2010;
Episode 2 has been release!
Interview with catmitts.

The whole Modern Warfare 2 fiasco.

I'm very disappointed and feel that this just contributes to the whole idea that "PC gaming is dying". Of course it isn't really. But I stay away from all games that have a console version nowadays because I've been burned enough times to know that although the console reviewers will rave about a game it just won't be as good on the PC.

On the other hand I'm not as outraged as perhaps I should be. Mostly because I've already seen the PC get shafted so many times that it doesn't even bother me anymore. (It helps that I didn't play CoD4 and didn't become part of that whole thing)

I'm Euro though. And I guess there's usually lag when comparing Euros and Americas, so I hope there's enough interest so that both euros and americas can play :)

How?

There's also a variety of makers that are freely available and legal. Look at this page for a list of those that are supported by RMN.

How willing are you to investigate?

Jag brukar egentligen inte undersöka så mycket. Speciellt inte i början. Det är först när jag börjat tycka om ett spel som jag börjar söka allting. Och jag gillar alltid ett spel så mycket mera om det lönar sig att undersöka när jag väl börjar.

Förstås jag är oftast nöjd bara med små detaljer. Tidningen i Arcanum t.ex. Saker som får allting att verka så mycket mer levande. Kanske man kunde kalla det för "djup". Att det inte bara är potemkinkulisser hela vägen utan att när man ser bakom draperiet så finns det verkligen något där!

Det är förstås inte dödsviktigt men speciellt om man spelar ett spel mer än en gång så vill man gärna se att spelet inte rämnar genast. Att den ger litet motstånd fastän man försöker gamea den litet :)

Don't mind me, just watching movies

Lilja 4-ever is a REALLY shitty movie. I suggest you throw it in the bin right now
Är den så? Jag har hört bra saker om den. Jag skulle se den men så fastnade inte undertexterna på digiboxbandningen så jag hade ingen aning om vad som hände. Borde kanske försöka igen någon gång. Fucking Åmål (av samma regissör) var väl ungefär den där filmen som kom ut när man var fjorton och som alla såg då och pratade om. Det var tider det.


Dark Star var litet av en besvikelse för mig personligen. Men det är ungefär den enda filmen jag sett på din lista... (Förutom Törnrosa förstås. Beroende på vad det är för version)

How do you guys feel about pop punk?

Ska is punk though too right?

Man, I'm reliving my teens through all this youtube music.

How do you guys feel about pop punk?

because you know, musicanship matters imo. ;P
Pfft. Real musicians do like Sleepy Sleepers did. Whenever someone started to learn the instrument they were playing they switched intruments.

and their hit Summer Moped from 1979 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtniVZkD_Ik (reached nr.1 on the Finnish charts. If that's not pop punk I don't know what is)


EDIT: Man... Punk is really the only kind of music worth anything.

Kinda serious topic; how well do you guys/gals get along with your dads?

That map. I was going wtf for Finland there for a moment but then I found at the dark red didn't mean that American Football was biggest it meant that Football was big (50 players/1000people) but not biggest.
