Games tend to look like this when I’m on LSD. I wonder if there’ll be a trippin’ paradox if I play this game ~on~ LSD.

Getting it to work was a bit of a pain in the bum. If you’re going to go Minecraft all up in this Java runtime business, at least make it just as easy as the former to run.-
My bad, turns out that link in the post is just for the windows version.

Dead Morning, an open-source horror game

So… is it Death Morning or Dead Morning? http://i.imgur.com/UPH4Uk2.jpg

Oh look another Slender type game made in the Darkplaces engine.

It still looks like ass, mind you.

Icculus trips the Rift

Oh look, another report on Rift Induced Motion Sickness… heh, R.I.M.S. I’m coining the term.
-
R.I.M.S. job?

Glad it ships with Linux support but it’s a non-starter. VR did not fail due to framerate or cost. It failed because people don’t like wearing shite on their heads.
-
Well, at least the goggles do something this time
You’re getting a Jaaaaaaag

X86 based Steam boxen? Madness! ..they said.
-
This will make porting titles from PS4 (to a lesser extent, XBOX) trivial.
-
You’ll still be stuck with an AMD Graphics chip and we all know how that has worked out so far. Especially under Linux.

Perhaps this is the kick in the ass that AMD needs to get their shit together

Game: McDROID Beta 13
Website: http://www.mcdroidgame.com/
Devel: http://elefantopia.com/
Engine: Unity
Price: $14.99
About: “It’s original, has gorgeous cell shaded graphics, boasts 100 enemies on screen at once, the most badass weapons (linking teslas, wave canons, bot factories…) and unusually challenging enemies. It’s a tough game, not for the faint of heart and it’s got co-op multiplayer.”

Dig the cell-shaded graphics and it’s silky smooth at 1080p. Don’t often say this but WHAR anti-aliasing?! Twangy little soundtrack.

On my end, the cursor has a white column about ten pixels wide on the right side. It gets a wee bit annoying.

No issues with movement but automagic weapon lock flipped the hell out more than once.

Ditto on the auto lock. Controls were fine

The controls are tight and for what it is, they work really well. No objections.

Single player is fun for a bit; a short bit. Multiplayer is a bit of alright with friends but good luck finding a game in the lobby-o-empty. The demo only supports single player and good FKN luck convincing someone to take a $15 gamble.

As much as I loathe tower defense games, this one isn’t too bad. But its the same game I played all those months ago. Failed to keep my interest for long.

It would get the perfect score on the fun department if single player was as fun as multiplayer.

First off, thanks for the constructive criticism. It’s just interesting where you drew the line. The only time we use “faggot” is in reference to teenagers on XBOX. Observational comment since well, happens. Glad you get that it’s comedy. Take it away Mexican.
-
Thanks, you giant Nazi bastard! I just went back and watched that bit and no one said faggot or gay. There’s plenty of dicks in bags and cakes resembling dicks in bags. No faggotry though.

Okay, Thom did say on the shatrealm that Garry likes his penises Micro and Soft.
