    Spiral Knights - A open source/cross-platform MMO (Now on steam!)

    Oh yeah, that. One of the other changes is that the grind curve is now much steeper. Heating your gear requires zillions of missions due to the chance of failure eating your fire crystals and the fact that you only get one level per forge that consumes all your heat, even if you have enough...

    What is the hardest Sonic boss you ever fought?

    Well, Sonic doesn't really have hard bosses, though the Death Egg Zone boss from S3&K was pretty hard. Cheap bosses, on the other hand... Emperor Egg. You have to be in a very narrow zone in terms of distance when you hit the jump pad or he'll either charge your ass or you'll collide with him...

    Mega Man Xover recreated in Flash in less than 24 hours

    I get the feeling that Capcom is going to spin this "interest" as an excuse to churn out Mega Man sequels like they churn out Vs. games. Quite frankly, I don't see any original thought coming out of Capcom anymore.

    Worst, best, favourite, and least favourite VG weapon/attack

    PROTIP: Bumping years-old threads is generally frowned upon. (Would it be possible to remove the basically-useless "similar threads" feature to help dead topics stay dead?) Anyway.... Worst: The Mega Buster in Mega Man 2, only useful for one stage. (Top Spin doesn't count, because it's...

    How to boot up SRB2 in OpenGl mode?

    OpenGL is unsupported kthxbai (SRB2CB has OpenGL support that works, though I can't personally speak for how speedy or stable it is. If you're really desperate, you could try starting srb2win.exe with the -opengl command line parameter, though I'm pretty sure that hasn't done anything...

    Valve Plans to Develop Gaming Hardware

    The problem with this is that everything on Steam is coded for Windows and DirectX. This is either going to be a gimmicky peripheral that about five games will support, an Alienware knockoff, or some sort of Ubuntu-based system, perhaps with a specialized media layer. If it's the latter (and...

    The World Ends With You [Solo Remix + Sequel Teaser in Bonus Ending?]

    It's an iOS game. It's also not a sequel.

    Post your Desktop

    You know that stupid "Plus!" thing for Windows 98 that had those silly-looking themes? Well, it still more or less works in Vista for Windows Classic as long as you remember to set Compatibility Mode to Windows 98/Me. It handles color schemes and backgrounds OK, but barfs on pretty much...

    Call of Duty Is the Best FPS Ever, And Here's Why

    Super Monday Night Combat. Basically, imagine TF2 meets your favorite Defense of the Ancients clone with the premise of Smash T.V. If you want, the original Monday Night Combat is also available - the main difference between the two is that Super MNC has League of Legends' business model - large...

    Stop sopa!

    SOPA and PIPA are not dead. They (and censorship bills like them) will never be dead, as long as Big Media has the ability to bribe and extort our politicians through campaign "donations" and attack ads. They may be watered down slightly, but mark my words: they will reappear once the media...

    Sonic 4: Episode 2

    He said it was based on the "framework" developed for Episode I. This means that it's still Episode I's engine, technically, and they're just making changes to the physics and graphics subsystems.

    Sonic 4: Episode 2

    New engine? Tails? Frickin' Metal Sonic?! This might not be half bad. Of course, since it's based on the Ep. I engine Sega will probably find some way to screw it up. (unless the physics are stolen from the Retro Engine, in which case things are going to get hairy fast) Interview was completely...
