There is quite an art nouveau surge right now, so you can probably find one featuring a wood pile if you are diligent.

Why am I homeless?  Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question.

I've got a Mucha T-shirt, but the art is not so great, the joke sort of limited and the threadless T-shirts are terrible quality now.

Have any of you guys  ever played Shen Mue on the Dreamcast? Because  I have fond memories of the game and I was wondering if, nowadays,  there is a game that resembles it, gameplay wise. Hmm, maybe the GTA series? (beside the Dreamcast, I never owned a console).

If you can find a copy of it, Shenmue II on the oXbox is playable on the 360. Aside from the whole not having a 360 thing I guess.

Shenmue's a pretty unique game, and I can't think of much like it. Heavy Rain or something maybe?

Welp, I'm officially old. I am offended by a videogame for reasons other than "it sucks and I paid money for it".

Far Cry 3's multiplayer is going to have a "mini-game" afterwards where the winning team gets to torture/kill or release the best player from the losing team.

Man I played a lot of C64 games as a kid and never heard of that. That certainly is a thing. Still offends me less however.

The finals of the last Starcraft:Broodwar OSL is tomorrow night GMT +9. After this Korean e-sports will finally have completely moved to SC2

Quote
Thirteen years of history. Thirteen years of stories. Thirteen years of Brood War. It’s all led up to this single match. Heo “JangBi” Yeong Moo and Jung “Fantasy” Myung Hoon will face each other in the first and only repeat finals in Starleague history, for the honor of being the last Brood War Starleague champion. Fittingly, this finale will kick off with a revival of the original eSports rivalry: a Legends Match between Lim “BoxeR” Yo Hwan and Hong “YellOw” Jin Ho.

Even though Boxer and Yellow are probably out of practice, I think I am more excited for their show match than the real finals.

I fucking hate that stupid acronym.  Takes four words to say nothing.  Multiplayer AND online, you don't say?  And there's BATTLE in this video game?  AMAZING!  It would be like calling FPSes "Personal Weapon Interaction Simulation."  I guess they were just sick of people calling them "DotA clones."

As for Awesomenauts, I haven't played it myself, the stuff I've seen from it looks kind of shallow, but not horribly unfun.  Doesn't look BAD, but it definitely gives off a bit of a budget title vibe, and considering they're competing against games which are free, I don't know that I'd buy it.

One or the other of the clone makers was the first to push it I think. It doesn't do your marketing any favors when you have to use the name of one of your competitors to describe your own game.

And for most people "tower defense" conjures up a mental image of a very different type of game, even if they have similarities.

Speaking of MOBAs  why so serious? apparently Stardock is making one and I have no interest in the genre probably.

But I do have a beta key. PM ftw.

That particular ModDB restoration's actually been done for a couple years now, but it keeps getting updated, which is good.

And yeah, Dashus was kind of a cock. What all went on with him anyway?
