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!

That needs to be changed.

I thought they fixed this.....
I remember when they explained this was a feature: "But, but what are you going to do, when someone sends you a message and you are logged in, in 2-3 different places? huh? HUH?"
Well, once the game started I signed back into my 360 and watched Netflix and it seemed to do alright with the game continuing and awarding achievements.
edit: Checked my profile page and didn't see the achievements though. Huh, will have to play with this. This was Microsoft Flight, btw.

OT: steam mobile is neat, just needs group chat. And maybe ipad mode
And it needs to let you install stuff remotely. You can do it from a web browser now, surely the steam app is next.
and WP7 app.

+1. WP is the future.
Funny thing, I've never played a non-online Phantasy Star game before. Do I need to start with 1 or are they stand alone games like final fantasy?

Awesome, gonna try it out asap.

Standalone except for all being set in the same place (Except 3) with an actual continuous plot, just seperated by roughly 1000 years at a time.
While I guess you won't 'miss' anything important, you will miss out on a lot of cool things, cameos, throwbacks, that sort of stuff.
So it isn't exactly like Final Fantasy. it's more like... ..I dunno, my mind just went blank. Welp.

How did I not know about this before it expired? Bugger.
It got funded though, so there's that.
Final Fantasy games often feature "cool things, cameos, throwbacks, that sort of stuff" from previous games as well, so the comparison is pretty apt. Final Fantasy IX, for example, is chock-full of references to just about every other game in the series, but you certainly don't need to have played the previous games in order to enjoy the main story and characters of IX.

There are no recurring characters in mainstream Final Fantasy (There are monsters, of which Gilgamesh is considered one.)
You do not revisit past places.
They do not happen in the same solar system, on the same planets, against the same enemy.
You literally meet descendants of past characters, find some of their gear, fight some of the same things they did, revisit past locations and even in one instance fight someone who should have been dead a couple thousand years back.
Phantasy Star is a trilogy, after all. It is not like Final Fantasy at all. Its actually one continuous story.

Finally decided to jump in on this at the last hour. High hopes on the results next year!
Man, for awhile there I figured I could try to get a pooping simulator funded and I'd get it. Everything was making it's mark. I'm surprised it almost didn't make it.
And why aren't more people interested in the new Carmageddon they're trying to get funded. It's Carmageddon people!
you have no idea how much the lack of interest saddens me.

At least it's only here I suppose. It's already 1/4 of the way to being funded with nearly a month to go, so it's not like we won't get it.
Oh well. We'll be the excited PA guys.
If you're referring to DOSBox games: locate the .conf file for the game in question (e.g., C:\games\<game>\dosbox<game>.conf), make a copy (always.), then edit the original's "output=surface" to say "output=OpenGL".
Overlay will work more consistently, but it still isn't perfect.
There are other things you can put in there, but I'm not sure if they're any better or worse.
I know I was having trouble with NOX, which I'm pretty sure is DOSBox? I had to keep quitting the game to talk to people. Anyway, thanks for the tip. I'll have to remember that.
hope it helps
hard NOX
That was basically the premise behind Starlancer and it was awesome.

Pledges aren't really low. They're actually doing really good. It launched like what? Yesterday? And they're 1/4 of the way to their goal with almost a month to go. We were talking about the lack of interest here.
it's important to remember that the rights to Carmageddon were only recovered by Stainless recently as the publisher went belly up and the rights were in limbo.

Interplay?

I spent most of yesterday with it sitting in my cart because damn it looks good and people seem to really like it. Ended up passing to wait for summer sale, but I think it just got bumped up towards the front of my backog.
Thanks again, rik!
Apparently not, I thought they were dead. Wikipedia tells me that SCi retained the rights and they were in talks with (their owners) Eidos to make Carmageddon 4 but Eidos put a hold to that to concentrate on other games. Then Eidos and subsequently SCi were bought out by Square and the they owned the IP. Stainlesss must have either bought the license off them, or Square simply had no desire to make a carmageddon game so let it go (HA!).

Part 2 sounds like it'll be more interesting. I don't think people need to get mad at these guys for taking so long. I mean it's going to be a free mod. But at the same time a damn update would have been nice. Their site, twitter, all that has been silent for a long time. I mean how hard would it have been to type a sentence on their site or twitter saying, "Yes, we're still working on it."
edit: Also, I don't know if it's been posted or not, but wolfenstein 3D is free in your browser today. I still wish they'd give us a download instead, though. http://wolfenstein.bethsoft.com/game_NA.php
