Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Guilty (and not-so-guilty) Pleasures. We should all be ashamed of ourselves

That said, I actually completed that game. It's funny what you can get done in college with an empty afternoon and a full bong.
are .... are you me?

In my defense, I got the game free as a gift, so I wasn't being very critical of it.
"Orkses never lose a battle. If we win we win, if we die we die fightin so it don't count. If we runs for it we don't die neither, cos we can come back for annuver go, see!".
They are laced with crack or something. My dad is the same way too. It's where I picked up my addiction as a kid.
Seriously, my mom would go out of town and stock the freezer with Totino's, they'd be gone by the time she came back.
My wife is taking the kids to visit their grandfather for a couple of days. I have a Totinos pizza and a pack of Totinos pizza rolls in the freezer that I will live off of for the next two days.
also, I like Dragonlance and I don't care!

I admitted to liking Terry Goodkind as a teenager on the bottom of the last page... :oops:
I don't feel guilty, but I recognize that you don't say you read said websites, you admit that you do.
was that the 'Magic Kingdom for Sale' guy?
If so, I'll cop to that too

No, that's Terry Brooks, but I liked that too.
There is another series by Rick Cook where a code monkey gets summoned to a fantasy land and he ends up writing a magic programming language. It was my absolute favorite series of books. He created creatures called Emacs (I swear to god I am not making this up) to run magic scripts for him. I'll have to reread them someday to see if they're as dorky as I recall. There was a hot redhead in it too, as a teenager I liked that quite a bit.
EDIT: Here's the first book in the series
I dunno, it gets fairly decent reviews so maybe it's not so bad.
But... it is good.
I will admit that I both read and enjoyed the series as well. When he's got other wizards-to-be making spells that end up being glowing 'Hello World'...
However, in my defence, I read them for free off the Baen Free Library.
I read them at the library. And then bought them and read them again. I also enjoyed the first book or two of Goodkind's (and then read another 6 or 7 of them for some unfathomable reason), along with a couple of Terry Brooks'. Nowadays I have a soft place in my heart for Kim Harrison's urban fantasy series despite its rapid spiral down into romance novel/softcore porn land.
Edit: Rick Cook had another book, Mall Purchase Night, which was a pun on Walpurgis Nacht and chronicled the adventures of a mall security guard fighting faries invading his mall. I read that too. I am not ashamed.
I read and enjoyed Battlefield Earth.
But I ain't got shit on Atomic Ross. Datgummit, man.
I have bought this movie on VHS, laserdisc and DVD (no BluRay yet, but there's still time). I know it's not good, I know that I should track down the comics and see what it was supposed to be, but I don't care.
There is supposed to be a comic for that?
If you didn't see it in 1995, and you weren't in high school at the time, yes... it's pretty bad.
Otherwise, it's a cherished memory of an awesome thing at an awesome time.
I may have been 15 in 1995...
Watching Malcolm McDowell walk across broken glass in bare feet will never get old.
I've somehow turned into a huge pony fane: another one - I don't read OPs before I post
This movie had one of the best soundtracks ever outside of a Camron Crowe film though.

Oh, and Uwe Boll movies.
Folks... this is the true definition of "guilty pleasure".
Not "ooh, I looooove Journey... just like everyone else... ironically!"
I'm talking about gruesome, fucked up, degenerate shit.
Like enjoying Uwe Boll movies.
Yet even through that same perspective, I still can't rationalize
No! You have to nuke it so you can roll it up like a crepe and then cook it on a pizza stone!
I should get punched in the stomach.
I also enjoy watching cooking reality shows.
My wife loves those. She always complains about her weight (she's pregnant) and how much she'd love to eat delicious foods and then she watches Top Chef. It's like a special torture that she inflicts on herself.
He was a boy, she was a girl; can I make it any more obvious?
No, that's definitely in the ground glass category.
