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!

    !UpdateStatus 169/640 (+1/+0), 2013 Tally: 12 completed, 22 bought/gifted

    Spent the weekend convalescing in bed, which gave me more than ample time to finally finish Super Robot Taisen-OG Saga: Endless Frontier. If only the sequel was localized. New portable game is Valkyria Chronicles II, another beautiful game with a shamefully unlocalized sequel.

    Full list below. Games played are in green, games completed are struckthrough in blue.

    Look. Set up a steambox, or otherwise get a setup where you can sit back from the TV/monitor a bit, recline, and play with a wireless controller. Place the baby on your chest, facing you; once you get the angle down, the baby can easily be held in place by friction and your arms, leaving your hands free to hold the controller.

    Babies fucking love to sleep like this.

    Velcro works too.

    Just sayin.

    If you're bottle-feeding, then a Boppy Pillow can be used to allow you to play two-handed games as well. Get into your gaming chair, put the pillow around your waist, cradle the baby across your arm and the pillow (I highly recommend your left arm, so that your right is free for the mouse). As long as Baby is facing in towards you, you can prop up a bottle for feeding time even.

    Worked great with my first son, back when I was still playing Star Wars: Galaxies a lot.

    The belly to belly position where Baby is sleeping on your chest works fantastically well also. All of my kids were great for that one for the first few months. Plus it makes a great excuse "Sorry Honey, I'd love to get up right now, but we don't want to wake up the sleeping baby, right?"

    @Big Dookie wins a chance to experience the joy of F.E.A.R. Don't worry, it's just a G.E.N.E.R.I.C. shooter, only with a cute little girl in a red dress hanging out with you.

    New Greenlight titles. More than usual:

    http://store.steampowered.com/news/10417/?snr=1_550_552&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

    Shockingly, a lot of massively successful kickstarter games got greenlit. Highlights:

    Dreamfall
    Shovel Knight
    Frozen Endzone
    Battle Worlds Kronos
    Agarest: Generations of War
    Legend of Dungeon
    Dead State
    Death Inc (one of those heartbreaking Kickstarter failures, glad to see it may have a life beyond that)
    Cradle

    Lowlight:
    Angry Video Game Nerd game. Maybe it's good, but there's always some terrible looking game every time that gets greenlit because some internet star is involved, or is getting greenlit because someone made a video that went viral that showed how terrible the game is (Surgeon Simulator).

    I think there probably needs to be some sort of skip greenlight process for some of these kickstarters that are selling like 10 thousand copies during that phase alone.

    I like that they're giving little write ups for the games now.

    Agarest got greenlit? Sweet! I'd much rather play that on PC than Xbox or PS3.

  • [Mechwarrior Online] {Strat. Discussion} Sweep the Leg! Do you have a problem with that?

    At the risk of shameless self promotion, I did a bit of data-mining on my stats in the other MW:O thread.

    It's worth bringing up that judicious use of your stats, and keeping a few notes, can make it a lot easier to evaluate major build changes using empirical data, rather than subjective "Well this feels like it's working better" data.
