I wants it!

Firewatch is still high on my wishlist. I hope the dialogue is written as well as it's made up to be. I'm a sucker for witty banter. The pretty graphics do not hurt either.

Quoting: DrMcCoy

Quoting: Purple Library GuyI mean whole minutes spent looking at the bloody moons or something, with no action, no dialogue, nothing!

Not nothing. They build up atmosphere and suspense. A breather between more intense scenes. And even there, a glance between characters already told a lot.

This is unfortunately something that a lot of editors don't get. So they produce all these annoying rapid cuts, rushing from scene to scene, removing all the build-up.

I'm not a Lynch fan, for reasons other than pacing, but I bet if both of you were made to watch a Wim Wenders movie like Wings of Desire / Der Himmel über Berlin, one would fall into a coma while the other would rather enjoy the experience.

Quoting: Cheeseness... it doesn't feel like it disrupts or slows down the narrative the way that many other book adaptations suffer from (I'm looking at you, Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings).

Wow, maybe I'm not the only one who can't stay awake watching the LotR movies. But I always thought the books were a bit boring as well.

Quoting: ChuckaluphagusThe real trick they used is dead simple: the drives in the Gamecube and Wii spin the media in reverse (as compared with a standard DVD drive).

That's not the only difference though. Read this for some details.

Quoting: ChuckaluphagusSurprisingly effective copy-prevention solution.

Really? Is that why a simple google search tells you exactly how to rip them using a soft-modded Wii? :D

Quoting: GuestWhen will Dolphin ever let me use the actual Gamecube discs?

Nintendo intentionally used a proprietary disc format that is incompatible with normal DVD drives.

The game is also in the Humble Jumbo Bundle 7 for those interested.

The greyest MMO so far? Perfect for the chromophobes among us.

Quoting: GuestOh man.. saw that Beyond Good & Evil screenshot before reading the title and got all excited. I freaking loved that game.

It is a great game, and the PC version is very affordable on Steam and GOG. Should work perfectly on Wine as well. Maybe GOG could do a wrapjob for us? I've been tempted to buy it on several occasions, but I don't buy Windows games.

Oh, and Dolphin is an excellent project with an even more excellent development community. Well done that lot!

The beta works and so does the environment variable hack, but they should really get the fix released. This is getting ridiculous. Looking at the GOL statistics, you'd think that most of their customers should be affected by this game-breaking bug, but the good folks at Feral seem happy to do nothing at all. Even the official FAQ still promises "no issues" on all Nvidia drivers since 352.21, which is obviously wrong.

Quoting: ElectricPrismCould also batch email users 7 days before closing each week asking if details are the same.

You mean once a week? That could get annoying quickly. I suspect most of us rarely update our hardware or distro-hop. Maybe once every month or two, and should be optional.

No, he said 7 days before. As in send an email a week before a new survey is going to be done.

Ah, sorry. The "each week" part confused me.

Quoting: AnjuneI suppose pixel art is more of a statement these days than a limitation to overcome.

More artistic choice than statement I think, like black-and-white versus colour photography. Could be a statement of course, but I must admit the message eludes me.

Quoting: AnjuneI do like everything about the look of this game... except for the red noses. They conflict with my pathetic need for glamour.

Hehe, we're such a glamorous bunch, us Linux gamers.
