Also: quote:Memorable locations such as Hollywood Holocaust and Shrapnel City will be respectfully recreated with new and exciting vehicular sequences, non-playable characters, scripted events and all-new interactive experiences.

Gearbox owns every facet of the Duke Nukem IP. And that fan remake is under license from Gearbox, so it's officially sanctioned.

Cross-posting this from the Steam thread since this would be a better place for it: I started playing Barkley: Shut Up and Jam Gaiden a few days ago and it's downright amazing. If you love the 16-bit RPGs of yesteryear, but with an over-the-top story, you must play this. Are there any other exceptionally good freeware games out there? It's too bad we don't have a freeware thread.

There's still a possibility that RDR gets ported. I'd imagine that if LA Noire does well, they'll start looking into the possibility. And, well, better late than never.

Too short is too short. Too long means that it gets repetitive... like, the game showed you everything that you were ever going to do in the game in the first few hours, and then just had you do exactly the same type of stuff for many hours after that for no real reason other than padding.

Just got my sweet rear end mouse pad today. It has a grainy surface for more control on one side and a smooth surface for speed on the other. Plus, it's a lot more comfortable than I thought it would be. Money well spent. Now my new GeForce card need to get here!

I'm tempted to get myself a second 22" monitor since they've become really cheap; however, while it would certainly look über So: what are the really cool things you do with a second monitor that make you think "how did I ever live with a single screen"? Also, without getting a 5000 word essay from the monitor thread, what is the essential difference between LED and LCD monitors?

NihilCredo posted:Also, without getting a 5000 word essay from the monitor thread, what is the essential difference between LED and LCD monitors? Depends on whether the screen has local dimming (as opposed to edge-lighting), which improves image quality (contrast and black levels). If it doesn't, the main difference is power consumption and possibly size (read: thickness). I like having a second monitor so I can have things like TS, Skype and other useful windows on the second monitor while gaming, but I've never found it that big of a deal. I use my laptop's screen for it and will often turn it off to improve performance.

If RDR gets released on the PC at this point I'm going to be pissed because I bought a PS3 last year so I could play that game when I found out there wasn't going to be a PC version of the game. But then again I never finished RDR or Uncharted 2 or LBP2 yet. I just finished OoT3D just so I could unlock and play master quest and I still have so many games I bought off Steam I still have to play let alone finish I lost count. Add the fact I'm now splitting my free time between video games and reading books (got an ASUS eeePad Transformer tablet) so that certainly doesn't help me in my quest to play and finish all these goddamn games.

Manac0r posted:I too use this pad, and it is awesome. Getting really temped ot pick F.3. A.R, what is the co-op like? Coop is fun but I feel it's a case of a lack of coop in standard shooters that makes F3AR's a big surprise and quite enjoyable. Pointman controls slow-mo. Fettel can stun enemies with LMB, levitate them with RMB, and melee with whatever you set melee to. RMB on the Pointman shields him to share some damage, and your slow-mo key instead lets you possess the targeted enemy (Usually targeted through levitation). While possessing most enemies, you play like the Pointman without slowmo and your bar slowly drains. When empty, you just lose possession of the body. Dead bodies will have a bloodied mouth icon over them and running over the icon refills the possession bar a little. Unlocks that expand your slow-mo also expands the possession bar. Fettel can also possess cultists. Playing Fettel is very fun if you manage to keep your bar filled so you can jump bodies when possible and play without worrying about your own safety because you always emerge unharmed when the body dies.

That stuff is mostly inherent in most any Rockstar game, but a better word for LA Noire is boilerplate. Rockstar basically combined the most boring aspects of their previous games into one package in a very dull over world, and most of the action of a given scene winds up happening in scripted talk scenarios that suffer from the simple fact that the writing and facial cues which are supposed to guide you are extremely inconsistent and even flat bad/boring. When you add a main character who behaves almost bi-polar on top of that it sucks. Also it somehow manages to have an incredibly short main campaign that totally overstays its welcome because of the above. TL;DR version: LA Noire is super boring and merely competent, it is pretty much a textbook rental title.
