The video game thread

It was being disobedient and I didn't have much patience at the time to be honest... I think a waterfall might be a bit easier.

ch-ch-ch-ch-check it out

Cool, you can see pretty much most of the wings that I've made for my viper and is that a second bridge that you've made, Lee?

Has Jack not been on in a while?

Memma, why don't you have a waterfall going into a moat?

jack hasn't been on in ages, no. another half built statue to add to his collection

a creeper asploded my face revealing a large ore seam
Thank you, mysterious creeper

also, it's raining

iv put my booster tracks to use and can now propel myself from home to as far as i've built my track (just part the big bridge). the booster tracks really struggle with inclines though. my 4:1 incline has 1 booster per 8 blocks but once i've mined more gold i'm going to have to go back and do it 1 per 4. that same path going down hill though looks like it doesn't need any. woo!

yoyoyo!!

I just thought I'd share with you the customised "painterly" texture pack I finished today. I've been playing around with it for quite a while on and off, tweeking bits and bobs and trying different combinations... but now I'm feeling pretty bloody satisfied with it

This is the full folder, 1.5 compatible!

aaand in case you're interested THIS is the terrain psd file, which I put loads of variants in cause I like variety and you might prefer some of the other options (such as a scary pumpkin rather than a wild natural and unscathed pumpkin...!)

still can't decide whether to make my own from scratch... i reckon it would take a long long time to finish every detail with something original! :S and i'm a bit of a perfectionist so i doubt i'd ever be satisfied with it...

go into your dropbox folder, go into public, right click (control click) the file you want to share, choose the dropbox> option and then copy public link. that is a link we can all use. you can even directly link images.

all we get when we follow the links you've made is a 403 error cos we aren't logged in as you

Ellie is such a noob!

Last night I had a bit of fun with Desktop Dungeons. You have probably already mentioned it before, Lee.

good game, how far in have you got?

was this due to a mention on extra credits by any chance?

awww shit that explains several problems for me now, not just on here! haha

zip pack!

however i do know how to right-click thank you very much sir.

i just didn't want you bitching that you can't right click

Not all of us have a right mouse button though eh, Memma?

It was. I don't usually watch Extra Credits but the latest episode caught my eye. I'm going to give Valkyria Chronicles a look into now too.

I've managed to unlock all of the fighter classes but that game is bloody hard!

Eh?

when i watched that, i wished they'd mentioned less games but given them all more time. I considered it weak of them to not even give a basic introduction to each game. they didn't even mention what the games were.

i haven't played valkyria chronicals, but from what i understand, it was a good idea badly executed. didn't yahtzee do a review at one point

You have no right mouse button on the count of Macs traditionally not having more than one button. I don't know what they're like now though. Speaking of macintosh, I want to make a USB pen 'hackintosh' but need to find a mac to stick my memory stick in first *tee-hee*

Yahtzee did do a review of Valkyria Chronicles. After watching it I don't think I'll bother. Well, it's on my rental list but I'm in no rush.

fate of the world looks awesome if you're into that sort of thing, that was the first game they mentioned i think.
its on sale too

today i went to the nether and had a mild heart attack.
i carved a tunnel into the roof and broke up a seam of glowstone. i collected most of it and what fell down was retrieved afterwards.
It was only enough for 3 glowstone with 7 remaining piles of dust however.
i also got more netherrack than I could ever use and a handfull of slow sand. I have no idea what i'll use it for but I thought i may as well grab some while i was visiting.

havnt been reading this thread because i was scared of portal spoliers, well peeks and I got the twin pack this morning, just finished it and its bloody good as expected< yet to try co op

i was sure to avoid portal spoilers for that reason, its too good a game to spoil.
do you like cave johnson as much as i thought you would?

feltch, if you need any wool for your internet spaceships, I have 4 stacks of white wool, you can have as much of it as you need.
Also, does anyone have spare golds? I believe i have exhausted the world supply

Yeah I've got a few blocks in the supply shed.

what do you mean exhausted the worlds supply? i came across 2 lava pools the other day and found some gold near it! and now i've got fuck loads of obsidian too and a fair few other things
need to dig deeper though

last night i dropped 4 stacks of wool by your internet spaceships and helped myself to 2 blocks of gold.
i also noticed you didn't change your sign back to fletch's peninsula

and by exhausted the worlds supply, i was just being silly, i just can't find any

I need a black sheep generator.

I've made my waterfall, I think it was quite successful, not quite finished the pool bit at the bottom but I think the bit running through my house is good! Currently having staircase issues.. Might post pictures later for opinions!
