The Gaming Den

Wow. That's an impressive as fuck Hexadecimal.

I have vague childhood memories of Voltron that were generally positive but frankly I don't care about that intellectual property one way or another. But when a buddy was telling me about its impending revival and got to the part where the A:TLA/A:LOK guys are coming in to make it, I suddenly was in...

There is a complete backup of the Desura Dom4 forum located here . In the appropriate Steam forum discussion they mentioned that a backup was made of the Desura site every day, so it should have all of the strategy guides there from before Desura went down. A benefit, I guess, of Desura's eminent fa...

Well, that's disturbing as fuck. It fills my Uncanny Valley with nightmares and misplaced parental concern. Good job?

Yeah, Desura may have been visibly circling the drain for almost a year, but that forum had that "comfortable old shoe" fit to it that makes me sad having to go elsewhere.

Additionally, I always drew a parallel between them and the sutras you'll see Shinto/Buddhist priests slap on evil things (undead, haunted buildings, kami/oni) in anime and manga.

With the new patch, EA Ry'leh just got interesting. They have Recruit-on-land mind blasters and mages with a max age of 5 (!) and a ritual that will set one of these mages Astral to the Astral of the casting Aboleth. Pretty neat overall. On a related note, anyone interested in a game? Also, all sla...

Words worth of material or reviews, I think.

Wow, you two are certainly taking the high road. I was expecting something along the lines of "the loser of this bet must suck X barrels of cocks".

AH: That reminds me of the old Bill Plympton short How to Kiss

Blood also contains a lot of other stuff which is hostile to yeast - even if you sterilized it / boiled it first (which would denature the proteins and give you a giant scab also), I don't think you could get yeast to grow regardless of the sugar content. So you'd make botulism toxin rather than et...

Besides, twisting the Tick into something like that is a little too deep for a comic where ultimately the main character rejects punching supervillains, vigilantism, taking over the world for its own good, and becoming a martyr to save countless lives via organ donorship as the right ways to save t...

Strong Female Protagonist http://strongfemaleprotagonist.com About a superhero who figures out that beating up criminals doesn't sold any of the underlying structural problems that cause crime. Also, Erfworld seems to be updating on a regular schedule again, has a buffer and an art team. I just fin...

The problem is each action can potentially change the map. I can determine the shortest path to each current objective and, thus, the easiest ojective, but there's no guarantee completing it won't fuck up the completion of everything else. E.g. objective A may be fastest, but completing B unlocks C...

Suppose there's a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure sort of game. You walk around the map by turning to sections and check against keyword conditions offering more section references when True. For simplicity, assume there are no deaths or dead ends and one ending. Is there an established programmatic way ...

I have no idea why not. Post edited to include a link to the source. Trust me, it's topical. And hilarious.

He is talking about the internet being shut down, and, for any 'murican, even worse, calls people that argue with freedom of speech morons . . i guess it will, in the end, come to the question:"what's more important to you 'murican? your guns or freedom of speech?" and i kinda dread the a...

Oh, that's perfect. +1 +1 +1

It looks to be a golf cart, so I'm gonna say "no". But in Smurfville, that's the hottest ride there is.

Whatever this current image contest is you three are having, I approve.

Continue.

I've really been enjoying that webcomic lately. The drinking contest sequence alone is worth the price of admission. I believe the site was recommended to me in this forum so, yeah, thanks for that, Den.

My wife, an editor, has a fridge magnet that reads

I've seen this meme before, but I'm especially tickled by this take on it. Thanks for posting it, Longes.
