Not sure if bullshit or serious...

I always thought an OS with a bunch of emulators (PC, Mac, various consoles) in a house environment would be awesome, if rather pointless.

The name of Microsoft's new console is "XBOB"

They are adding animated and fully voiced 'assistants' to the dashboard, to offer suggestions and announce promotions (ads).

Sauce?

A red bottle with HP marked on it... Ok well that puts RPGs into a new light.

Grind up a printer, slather it in hot sauce, and stick it in a bottle.

Congratulations! You've created a health potion! It's so horrible and deadly it tricks your HP into going so far negative the integer overflows and flips back into the positive. Magical healing, ladies and gentlemen, for when your wounds are so horrible you have to violently violate the rules of reality to fix your malfunction.

You know, I'm pretty damned happy with being in the top 10% overall, out of 2,000-some participants in a worldwide contest. Especially since this is the first game anyone in our team has made, and since most other teams prepared their materials and engine ahead of time. Pretty damned happy indeed!

At a glance, your game looks pretty neat.  I'll have to remember to try it.

[RedWarrior0]

It's a pretty quick game. In that you will very quickly either win or become very, very toasty.

[Pnx]

The next step should of course be to turn your game into a $500,000 game with a huge team, loads of art assets, and a narration by Morgan Freeman.

Friend of mine said something that struck to the core relating to my depression. A good analogy would be... it was like there was a splinter, that I didn't realise was hurting until it was 'pulled out', but I feel better already having pondered on what she said.

[Jopax]

Those are always good to solve, be careful not to prod the wound before it heals up tho ^^

Anyways, only my dad came around today, which is good, since he, for all his repetition and and sometimes wierd suggestions actually tries to motivate me properly, well, not the best kind of motivation (borderline emotional blackmail) but it's better than what my mom tries to do with her scare tactics bullshit.


With that said, pretty much all of the games on my laptop are now tucked away out of sight for the next two months, should be fun filling up the time they waste with something more productive and substantial

Rofl stomped the negatives. I was mostly rebuttals and free-form questioning.
