Yeah I know, when I first opened the letter I was thinking I might as well consider it but for one thing you need to put your maintenance loan in there, I have already set all my loan up so it'd be too late to change it plus I don't really care so meh.

Also my 2nd PS3 was acting up, I thought it was some sort of memory problem and when I rang sony they kinda confirmed that.. said it was either a problem with the HDD or the ventilation, it's well ventilated and it's new so I knew that wouldn't be the problem.. he advised reformatting the HDD so I went out and bought a 4gb memory stick (my external HDD is at my uni house, I'm in Leeds atm cos of Leeds fest) for £10 and doing that right now D= Yay.

I didn't like the Dad cartoons, I'm waiting for it to load right now. Seriously, 14 MB?

Just read up the stupid mythbusters thing and doesn't it help when you can't find the European license anywhere.

It wasn't awful but not well enough made to be enjoyable, too button-mashy and confusing. Parts worked pretty well though.

Braid on xbox live Arcade. it's like a tragic satire of Mario. the game in it's entirety is a masterpiece

i liked it... it lent itself well to the spirit of the series i thought.

I mean the dads home series is not exactly known for its soul-moving storyline or substance.

I thought it was fun and as button mashy as id expect Dad to be. It isnt ground breaking or thought provoking but it was just a fun time waster. I think he was more successful at capturing the spirit of what was originally a cartoon series than blockhead was with that abomination of a game.

It's just one of those games with endless violence that you get bored of easily.

I liked the dad game.

And that heat rush was pretty fun, reminded me a lot of pole position.

Response to The Flash 'Reg' Lounge 2009-09-02 13:52:03


Honestly I didn't love the game, but I played it through and I thought it was pretty good, and yea, kinda along the lines of what luis said, it seemed more like an episode of dad that you could also play, and in that respect it was fun. Plus it seems like this might be his first dive into game programming, so for a first game, he did a good job.

sakupen is awesome. game could have been much better. I actually like it, but i stopped playing in like 5 minutes, no clear direction and it's too random(yeah i know, it's dad but c'mon) I'll finish it late just to see more awesome ninja cutscenes

Response to The Flash 'Reg' Lounge 2009-09-02 15:04:29


It was an ok game but it probably would have been more worth the guy churning out 2 episodes in that time.

The only reason it has such a high rating though its on the weekly game banner, so it must be good, so pretty much everyone just rates it 5.

It really is though.. Not everything needs to look polished like it came out of a pixar studio for it to be beautiful. I think the crude art works for that series. The subject matter is very crude, borderline absurd and the art compliments it.

just like david bowie, or the rolling stones. its that ugly, unpolished style that makes it beautiful.

So I was thinking about installing SmartFoxServer on my NAS server (a Synology DS207+), but Google fails me and I haven't got much of a clue on where to start. Someone here does?

Dad's game was extremely generic and boring, not to even mention overrated...

See if you can install Java on the OS.

I personally think Dad's Game would have been better with a more fancy pants vibe to it (larger world, faster movement), and a little less destruction honestly. There was too much going on at once. I'd press a button and see 10 things fall down in smoke and flames. Larger world + faster/smoother movement + spread out items (a little more spread out) could have kept the same feeling to the game.

I feel so retarded now; I can't find any more info on the OS except that it's "Linux based", and I have never used that before.

I just got annoyed by the way the UI kept wobbling. The only reason that would happen would be if you tried to use a v-cam to scroll, then tried to compensate by having the UI follow it around, thus making it doubly redundant. There's a reason we keep telling you these things, people!

I'm surprised at how good Batman: Arkham Asylum is, I'm enjoying it loads 'n loads. It's been a while since I bought a game for my PS3. Far too long.

I am going to in about 3 days when it arrives via mail. At such a price level, why not, right?

I agree with both of you really, the game was neither awe-inspiring but not horrid. I got to the boss on the train and quit due to excessive death.

I think the game could deff be polished a bit more, there were times that it deff lacked some fun elements, and just seemed annoying. i think it was just the co-ordination with jumping zxc and space, just didn't fit together well. I woulda much preferred a wasd setup, mighta helped.

Either way, i earned 5 pts in medals (so... 1 medal) and i think i'm good for a while :P

Alright, I found some more info and it seems that there are not a lot of Java options for the processor architecture. This should however be one of them, but would it be able to run SmartFox?

Meh, I should move this topic over to the programming forum I suppose
