Guys, come on

Dirty political tactics. Nothing but slanderous ads everywhere and lots of automated phone advertizing. It's quite obnoxious.

No wonder people don't feel like voting.

Yeppers. Thank god it's finally over.

I just downloaded that pokedex pro for the 3ds (Yes I am a nerd), it cost some money but I think it was worth it.

The software have a whole bunch of "quizzes" such as "Who is this pokémon silhouette?", "what's the name of this pokemon?", "who is the pokemon described?", "What does this evolve into?", "What move is this pokemon unable to learn?", "What pokemon does this cry belong to?" and then the lovely "what letter form is this unown?".
Some are rather simple, some end when you make a mistake, some are timed, some give you barely any time at all and some are plainly hard. Like the pokemon cry and the moves. Abilities I can figure out. But when you get a pokemon and 4 options of moves where only 1 is right and you get like 3 seconds to answer - difficult.

Just wish they had something like this. http://www.sporcle.com/games/jacobchr/pokemon

Ha.

Starting to sound like All of All.
We had like what 4 days with no posts?

So I will use this for my own nefarious purposes.

Did you guys like Dungeon Keeper 1/2?
Are you resigned to the fact EA will never use the IP again, barring chinese MMOs you won't get to play?
Do you like Kickstarter?

Well some handsome chaps in the UK and other places have come together to make <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/subterraneangames/war-for-the-overworld">this thing right here</a>.
It's looking like a pretty worthy successor of DK and I want it to succeed so badly. If they get enough they'll even get that guy who did the voice from the first two games.

I tried "tipping" Kotaku AU but it's been a week with no reply, so this monday I am going to tip Kotaku US. Then Giant Bomb. Games journalism will be my sword in this fight for awareness!

Never played anything from the franchise, but I'm not really sure if it's my kind of game to begin with. I like Kickstarter, but there are a lot of flaws that scare me away from it most of the time. Still, I've already backed a few projects (Tim Schafer's adventure game, the Homestuck game, Wasteland 2, and a spiritual successor to the SWAT series by the name of Takedown), so I guess I don't distrust it as much as I claim.

[Razor]

Yeah, there are risks.
Like that woman who did a video game kickstarter and would go on to say she isn't making the game because the Sun told her not to. Yes, the Sun. Sol. The big flaming sphere of hydrogen and helium. It told her not to make the game.
Yeah.
Or more noticeably, the woman who claimed she was going to do a series of videoes on sexism against women in video games, raised a billion dollars and hasn't produced a single video. She has managed to find time to fly across the country hold seminars about being harassed on the internet, or something.

So far I've thrown money at this War For The Overworld thing, the Homestuck thing, Project Eternity, and I am considering going in for Ryan North's new book. It sounds like a lark.

[fruckert]

The Hamlet choose your own adventure book does sound fun.
I don't have any money to throw at Kickstarter, though, sadly.

[Prpl_Mage]

I have a bit of a negative view on people begging for money online. It kinda feels like it's making the scamming of people a much easier process. Y'know, if I'm gonna give someone money I want some sort of assurance that it's gonna happen, not just "if you donate 100$+ you'll get a preorder collectors edition, if you donate 300+ we'll name an ingame horse after you"

I hate holiday shoppers.


That's all.
