I have a bunch of Dota 2 keys, if you were intrigued by Cara's post today. Message me on steam (jergason is the user name) and I'll hook you up.

I value meaningful interactions with other people and learning complex systems. This is why I gravitate mostly towards multiplayer games, and why Dota 2 is currently owning my life. It is endlessly...

Not overreacting, simply reacting.

There is a Slashdot post today on some security researchers who found critical vulnerabilities in CryEngine 3 and Modern Warfare 3....

You may have just destroyed what little free time I have. I have never heard of this, but am a reformed Magic player from middle school. I'll have to give it a shot.

Talking about the poor state of AI in games in another thread got me thinking. What are some games out there with excellent AI? Most of them are just simple applications of rules and patterns, but...

SUPER HEXAGON, by Terry Cavanagh of VVVVVwhatever game is the iOS game that I have played the most. Instantly addictive twitch-action game that is basically a maze game from the TI-89 souped up with...

You throw around the term AI like creating more believable behavior is simply a matter of turning the knob that says "Shiny" down and the knob that says "Thinky" up. Creating truly believable,...

Shines by Purity Ring is ethereal and beautiful and dreamy and amazing. My album of the year so far.

I have never played CS before, so I don't have any baggage about CS:GO differing in tiny details from earlier versions. I do play lots of FPS games, and CS has knocked off TF2 as my favorite right...

Diablo 3 was the only game I bought that I regret this year.

Dishonored looks interesting, but the pre-order nonsense means I am waiting a few years to pick it up, so I won't be disappointed if it...

This. I remember seeing some robot assets for each of the classes floating around a few months ago, before the Pyro update.

I have about 40 hours in to RO2, and love it. No other shooter has made me actively scared to poke my head above a trench or creep around a bunker. Kills are very satisfying, artillery is terrifying,...

This is exactly how I sit when I read books. Batman: Arkham Asylum.

Also, anyone know how to make images large? I just uploaded a local file but it is tiny.

The Binding of Isaac: 7/10. Super cheap, pretty fun. I think I just have to realize I don't like Rouge-likes that much, since I got fed up playing the same first level over and over again. Still,...

Binding of Isaac bundle - $2.70 or something
Frozen Synapse DLC: $1.99
Batman: Arkham Asylum: $6.99 or so
Batman: Arkham City: $12 or so
Metro: 2033 - $4.99


Still looking for fallout stuff,...

I have three trial keys to Red Orchestra 2. PM please.

Thanks, missed that as well.

Bought:

* Avernum
* Newest Humble Indie Bundle
* Diablo 3


Buying:

* XCOM

How is Spec Ops? It looks like they are trying to push the "weirdness" pretty hard in the marketing, but it looks like a generic cover shooter.

Bad Company 2: just hangin' out....

Got curious about this. Here is the image:

I was pretty impressed by the Nintendo presentation. I also got to play a few of the games, and it feels like the Wii-U stuff needs to be played a little before you really get it. The Luigi game with...

Dishonored looks like it could be the AAA game of the year for me so far, so I am pumped to see more of it. I hope they let people try it out there.

Ah, forgot about Crysis 3.

It feels like shooty-action games are the only ones I have heard about. Do smaller devs still show stuff of at E3?

I am going to E3 for the first time ever, so I am actually paying attention to E3 announcements and such for the first time ever. I have my list of stuff to look at while there, but surely there are...
