Thanks, Hank.

The shoot-through-corner stuff isn't so much a bug as it is that the cover system is somewhat unintuitive, especially for people who played the original.

That is also another bug. All Avatars have this really bad Sith Corruption, even if they are Light sided or neutral.

Just wait, something will run a muck

Haaank, I was as free to Rolento in TTT2 as I am with you. You go fight him instead so he isn't bored when he plays.

Here's a match between Me and Joel in MvC. I was Red Venom/Strider and Joel was Wolverine/Captain America.

Why do you always play cheap characters?

I gotta say I always enjoy Crotch's play by play commentary on WTF design decisions on the games he plays.

me too. it actually makes me wanna play the games haha.

finished re6 last night. sweet game. not sure if im gonna replay on higher difficulties or not yet.

any friends here want some humble indie bundle steam codes?

I was looking back at the stuff I owned and alot of it overlapped with codes unused... so far i have available:

Wizorb, BIT.TRIP.RUNNER, Gratuitous Space Battles, and Jamestown Steam Key
Gish Steam Key
Cortex Command Steam Key
Humble Bundle #1
Humble Bundle #2


If you already own alot in any of these, sorry, I want to give it to someone who "needs" em... but if you're an ol' GGT friend, they are yours.

SO guys, are Dishonored and XCOM worth my bucks?


Also, people don't like Jim Sterling?

Can't comment on Dishonored, but...

Xcom is an awesome game with a couple rarely-important but bafflingly stupid design decisions and a shitload of bugs, though most are of the visual variety and the ones that actually harm the gameplay are rare.

And according to Firefox, "bafflingly" isn't a word.

The game is a blast to play, despite the bugs.

I did have a couple more pop up today. When returning from a scientific research video, the menu appeared where the cursor was, not underneath the main menu.

Also, on a mission I had a selection box sticking in one square. None of it affected gameplay.

Yeah, that "phonebooth ghost" is really common. I'll get Hank to add a picture of it.

so no one wants some damn steam games? oh well

I'd take free shit, but I'm not an ol' GGT friend.

Too many games to play. I have Binary Domain installed and I haven't even loaded it yet.

I am waiting for a good long weekend to knock out that game.

Definitely.

I'll take Wizorb if it's still available.

So the new Xcom has a pretty interesting door mechanic, especially compared to the ing deathtraps that were doors in the original.

You can either take things slow, move up to the door, and open it manually, or you can run through a door, making a lot of noise and alerting any nearby aliens.

The weird thing that I just noticed, though? You can only open a door from the side. If you're standing in front of it, you either have to run through or step one square to the side to open it. This is something that pretty much never comes up, but... why?

Also weird: a character can open a door even if they've already used up all their moves so long as they aren't your last character. Also something you wouldn't do often, but it has some strategic value.

I only bring this up because the second one might be a slideshow-worthy bug, and it might be a design decision (since door opening isn't counted as an "action" in this game).
