June 3, 2012 – In quite a rarity, we have the first TAYpic of the month for Weekend Talk Amongst Yourselves. In not so much of a rarity, the featured artist is Pan_1da7, so give him another round of applause as you converse about all things video games. There's much to gab about in Kotaku's official open thread...

Battlefield 3 on consoles is the most unbalanced piece of scheisse I have ever seen in my life. Just lost 12 Rush games in a row to the same team. None of the games lasted over 5 minutes.
God I hate DICE. #talkamongstyourselves

DHL tried to deliver my new GTX 670 today, and nobody was home, and instead of leaving it at the door like they've done once before or putting it at a pickup point after their delivery run like they usually do the package have now been posted to the pickup point, which means it has to go trough regular post sorting again, which means I won't be able to pick it up from my pickup point half a mile away until the next workday, which is on Monday.
That means I'll have my GTX 670 sitting at the local post office, which is 200 meters from the pickup point, all weekend long and there's nothing I can do about it.
Also, another package I have waiting for came from Norway, going to me in Sweden (I live just an hour pass the border), but instead of dropping it off at the local sorting facility, or at the sorting facility in the nearby city which they still have to pass since if you're going from Norway to Stockholm, they've now driven the package 4 hours longer to Stockholm, and from there they have to take it back to the city the package passed by today, which means I won't have it until Monday.
This sucks, and right now I fail to see the logic in their transport routes.
Sure, Monday will be a nice day since I'll get an SSD for my new laptop and a new Graphics card for my desktop, but having to wait until Monday is horrible.
I just wanted to rant a little bit amongst myself.. #talkamongstyourselves
(Edit comment)Good news everyone, Carmageddon is coming to iOS and Android platforms this summer. (winter for me)
First 24 hours of launch are free then all proceeds go towards the development of Carmageddon Reincarnation.
[www.kickstarter.com]
Stainless are $80k over their goal so the more money pledged on Kickstarter then the more awesome the game is going to be, a $30 pledge gets you two digital copies of the game, one DRM free copy and a free copy of Carmageddon + Splatpack on GOG.
The two digital copies don't specifically state Steam so it could be used on XBLA or PSN if Stainless decides to port to them.

NEW Thieves in Time info! :D
[www.gametrailers.com]
-Carmalita is in fact FULLY playable for free roam and she will have her own missions throughout the game once she enters the story! The way the guy said when she enters the story makes me think that they won't just be moving from time period to time period, likely heading back to Paris in between time travel!
-My thoughts were correct, some of the game is made up of hub world missions while others take place in "Spokes" as they call them. Essentially levels akin more to the first games play style.
-They are modeling the game off of Sly 2:Band of Thieves over the first or third game....Sly 2 is my favorite game of all time...
*Heart stops*

Dude kept winning me over with every word that came out of his mouth.
I like how it's more of a focus on the main gang, and no more friends. Sly 3 just felt meh whenever I played as someone outside of Sly, Murray and Bentley. Oh and bottles are back! #speakup
(Edit comment)I'm all for an expanded gang and this game in fact seems to have even more playable characters than ever before given that each level will have a new ancestor, but Sly 3 misused it's new playable people horribly.
Dmitri was confined to about 3 missions, Penelope was mostly poorly controlled vehicle levels and guru and Panda King were both criminally under used.
Also I too can't wait to hunt down those Clue bottles :D #speakup
(Edit comment)But you are playing with Sly ancestors, and they all still play similar to Sly's style + something more so I don't mind that at all.
I agree though, Sly 3 just didn't leave big of an impression as 2 did to me. It wasn't a bad game, I still enjoyed it, but 2 was just pure perfection in my eyes, it was just way better than the first 3 Spyro and Crash games(which I loved) put together.
I am excited though, and I just can't get enough of this information. Sly is by far the best platforming series outside of Mario games.
(Edit comment)Or you can visit his grave and revive him as your ally.
Mummy ally that is. #speakup
(Edit comment)Well the new voice actor is Grey Delise(Princess Azula, Daphne Blake,Catwoman in Arkahm City) So hopefully she'll do well.
I've heared her speak a few times so far in gameplay videos and rest easy because she is doing a MUCH better job than Ruth Uvier(From Sly 3)
Still I wish they would have just brought back Alésia Glidewell, she did such a great job in 2.
Fun fact Glidewell is who they modeld Chell after in both Portal games. #speakup

Hi guys. Years ago I made a proof of concept Mega Man clone for my game programming class. Last year I started working on a stereoscopic 3D CG short based on that 'game'. I recently finished it and published it for the 3DS as well. So for anyone here with a 3DS, I put up the AVI so you can view it in Nintendo Photo/Video.

Thanks :) . I really should've linked the YouTube 3D version up here earlier.

(Edit comment)Contrary to companies like activision who just want to eat your wallet, I think companies like Konami or Squarenix just dont want to make money.
They keep ignoring fans and just going with random ideas of games.
We all know that squarenix, konami, nintendo, game arts could be swiming in money with remakes and such!
Or not even remakes, just look @ the past, take what you did good and combine with news stuff! #talkamongstyourselves (Edit comment)

"The platform has its own unique features, and has its own challenges as well. When we come across any new particular platform, we optimize specifically for some of the advantages that those platforms offer over other platforms, and Wii U has specific advantages that no other platform has, and we optimize directly for those, right down at the level of accessing the hardware. I think we'll see things done on the Wii U that we won't see on another platforms… I think people will be genuinely excited with the range of titles they're going to see come out." - Dave Gargan, Havok VP of Engineering
havok says some pretty good things about WiiU and talks about havok updates available on all the platforms.

Hopeing for games like dragons dogma to use the screen to activate multi move sets :D like switching between magic sets and stuff.
Also,dang maps on the controller,Im tired of going into menu's to see the dang maps #speakup
(Edit comment)At this point Nintendo is ripping it off too,
im sure sony will add a back sensor and shape it like a didgeridoo.
Microsofts wont work right till year 2 and will way 300lbs.
(Edit comment)Back sensor would be cool
as for the nextbox,it better go back to black and green,that was sexy
and hows nin ripping it off?Like off cell phones? #tips

God I hate MW3. I've always been one to defend MW3 as at least being fun if nothing else, but now that's really just not enough. I just got in a game where my entire team was randomly launching javlins, C4'ing themselves, launching another javlin, rinse and repeat. Then the end of the game? A never-ending stream of racial slurs, horrible grammar, endless trolling, etc.
CoD may be a well made game in comparison to the mountains of shovelware out there, but it just brings out the worst in civilized humanity. I feel dumber each time I play and get a bit depressed at how easy it is to turn everyone in to non-productive, idiotic, ignorant, arrogant, assholes. #talkamongstyourselves
(Edit comment)KINECT IN SPACE!!!
Those wacky Brits are at it again. This time, they're taking the guts from Kinect sensors, and Android phones, and sending them up into space to see if they'll make sweet, sweet, love.

It's Memorial Day weekend in the US of A. The beginning of summer and for some of us, so much heat you have to stay indoors for too long at times. Oklahoma City had 3 months of 90 + heat last year, it broke some records.
*shutters*
My point is that it's a great excuse to do so gaming, but more importantly post this video. #talkamongstyourselves
(Edit comment)Um.. where the heck is TAY today? Is it because it's a holiday and someone's already a little too tipsy to post the page? ^^
Hey, i'm not judging. It's all good.
I just don't feel comfortable posting tay stuff without that banner up there. The one that isn't there, in case you just looked. #talkamongstyourselves
