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!

When making something you want gamers to buy, make sure it's super shiny and ridiculous.

Also, I like this coming out at 2:30am, fun to watch before bed
I'm looking for PAX Badges! Please PM me if you have a Four Day, or any Single Day Badges to spare!
Also as a ESDF Player it is bad enough having to remap every game but yet another keybord that is lighting up/replacing the wrong keys.
Also for Checkpoint Gamer Mode it would be even better if you added the Transforming sound from Transformers and a high pitched electric guitar riff man!
Betcha they also only anti-ghost the WASD keys on that thing, too. So fucking irritating.
Yay silly hats!
It's a thing that has a screen on it, and Samsung is making it
So it's gonna be great
LoL: Nerf Love
Steam: TIFunk
It's blatant misandry is what it is.
# paweaboo Talk about the animu's with friendly people on SLASHnet.
Edit: Looks like WolvenSpectre beat me to the punch.
There's no good reason to leave the home row, as it makes in-game chat that much easier, while simultaneously adding four extra bindable keys to your arsenal.
Oh, and good episode.

Also, LRR: you totally set yourselves up for this, no complaining!
your = belonging to you
their = belonging to them
there = not here
they're = they are
Well, I am both married, and not a sort to be a particularly high-in-demand singleton, so the best solace I can offer is that these other single desirables are apparently all boneheads.
Nobody is objecting to liking boobs. Go ahead, like boobs. From a biological standpoint, you probably don't have much of a choice in the matter anyway.
The problem is that this video isn't about boobs. Well, part of it sort of is... I guess that's not the right phrasing. The intent of the video isn't to show you boobs. LRR didn't set out to satisfy your desire to see boobs when they made this video. That's not the reason this video exists. This video exists because LRR set out to make something funny. And not just something funny, something funny in a specific way. Something that takes the peculiarities of the news show format and the video game industry, and leverages them into a professional, polished end result that you can't get anywhere else. That's where their efforts went. To researching the subjects they were addressing, writing the material, honing their delivery, recording, editing, and fitting it all together into one coherent whole. Hours of work, from several people, guided by years of experience.
And you see boobs. The one thing you apparently see fit to comment on is Kathleen's boobs. Kathleen's boobs are, apparently, more worthy of comment than anything anyone involved in this show actually worked on. The other people involved in making this video don't matter. Even Kathleen only matters insofar as she has boobs on the front part of her. The work she and everyone else did only matter to the extent that it caused boobs to show up on your monitor.
To the rest of us, it makes you look like a cretin. You see, we watched the video, too, but we saw a lot of things more worthy of comment than boobs. We saw the effort that went into every stage of production, because it comes out in the end result, in the jokes and the polish and the erudition of the commentary. We're aware that Kathleen's boobs aren't the most remarkable (as in worthy of remark) aspect of the video, and so we're left with no conclusion other than that you are unable to appreciate anything beyond what the reptilian centers of your brain tell you.
tl;dr:
your = belonging to you
their = belonging to them
there = not here
they're = they are
