    Hi guys, MASSIVE apologies. I know I've been kicking around N-E a bit lately and not come on here to post but suffice to say that I've been... unhappy is the best way that I can put it. But I'm back in the game now!

     

    I've been able to confirm that Rummy is town via some cross checking of my own. I'd recommend whoever is doing the "orgasms" pays him a visit. If we have a cop that wants to check either him or me to confirm then I'm good with that but I can also understand if they don't want to risk disclosing themselves.

    Ahhhhh yeah... Octodad is going to be getting a release date for Steam announced imminently and I'm thrilled!

     

    For anyone that hasn't caught this during the PS4 coverage, it's out to be a ridiculous and wonky kind of game where you play an octopus pretending to be a human. And you job is to fool your wife and kids. I've played the demo on PS4 and it was wicked:

    I never said he was lying, I just think it's strange how he said that the lotcheck requirements were very vague when I was under the impression that they were very much known, but just very strict. Seems to contradict what I've heard over the years... (Though I do remember hearing about strained relations with Codemasters ever since the Game Genie days, so that seems to gel with what I've read over time...)

     

    No I'd concur with H-o-T's friend. They are strict and there are MANY peculiar standards that someone would have to meet (some of which are almost pointless). From my experience I've seen them be massively inconsistent with their submission and assessment process and I remember them (not permanently) rejecting a submission based on a vague guideline.

     

    Some of their stuff is neurotic and specific and the other bits feel... well badly translated really and when a company blows 10,000 or more on a submission then how do you think they feel?

     

    And when we talk standards, Nintendo doesn't give that much of a crap. They let this get in:

    There's also Nintendo wanting to be responsible, following the Fukushima quake. After the rolling blackouts, there is still somewhat of a cap on the amount of power that can be used. Typically at peak times, it's at around 80% of the country's actual capacity, so I guess they don't want to make it worse.

     

    Wow I haven't read stuff that's categorically bullshit on here in ages. I've been to Japan in the past 12 months and bluey and I have plenty of connections there. Never once have I heard about anyone being conservative about energy use either through media whilst we were there or from the people that we know.

     

    Can you stop fabricating argument material please.

    Ehm no. I don´t know how you came to that conclusion, it´s simply that I think both are town, and I don´t want to spell out things.

     

    In case this helps though.. My original item was a shield.

     

    Well that's kind of my point, how can you trust that they're both town? If you have evidence to prove that surely it would help the group?

     

    Same goes for what @DuD said, he just seems to know a lot about Diageo's abilities from how he asked the question.

     

    Maybe I'm being naive at this early point in the game but doesn't informing the crowd always end up being in the towns favour? Admittedly there are dangers but atm we've got almost nothing to cross reference against.

    I got humped by something which meant I got role blocked. Better luck next time I guess!

     

    Also this:

     

    @Diageo.. care to tell us what smeagols initial item was?

     

    @DuD

    @Diageo

    I think I may know what´s going on. May be best to leave it. In short, I seem to be targeted by at least 2 persons.

     

    What's going on guys? It's like you have a team that's privy to special info.

    The base work for my mafia is done, but the powers need to be altered/created/destroyed based on the amount of players and their choices.

     

    Essentially, my start-ups can start at any time (but there will be between 1-2 weeks before it starts), but I'm quite a way down the list.

     

    Cube, would you mind if I back-seat joined you? I really want to learn how to make one myself but I'd be starting from scratch in a big way.

    @Jamba: Random number generator. We chose to kill Mr.Mischief and we had no idea who that was. If we knew it was you, we wouldn't have killed you, certainly (we're not mean). It was just rotten luck.

     

    Thanks chap :-) And yes... my memory is failing, of course you couldn't have known who I was.

     

    I'm going to have a think about the identity thing. It's a good concept providing it can be made to work. I really like the idea of being able to get away with murder (ha!) and not be able to be targeted for it. I think it would be quite intimidating for the mafia to be able to laud over the townies quite openly.

     

    EDIT: Oh I have an idea. Why not change the chance to kill for the mafia based on the info they give? If they know both the name and the character, then it's 100% chance of kill, only one piece of info and it's 60% say? Then you would need something else for balance most likely.

    Well people were always going to question whether he was really dead, and they'd undoubtedly look at John. If they saw him not grieving then it would have given it away. His genuine reaction would convince people that it was real.

     

     

    If I'm going to be very, VERY cynical it's that not telling John is better dramatically, particularly if he didn't tell anyone else. The audience lives the story through John and from a storyline point of view the writers want you to get a bit annoyed/enamoured with him again to refresh you with that feeling of being lovingly frustrated with Sherlock and that he is a dick most of the time. Notice how the audience doesn't know that Sherlock has told anyone else until John does so the audience feels that betrayal as well.

     

     

     

    Having read a little more, I'm now unsure about Mycroft. Contrary to what I originally believed, he is actually a long running Holmes character and his wiki page is worth a read. I still wouldn't put it past the writers to turn him evil. Moriati has a number of criteria, one of which is being equally if not more intelligent than Holmes and to have something that makes them opposite sides of the same coin. Their relationship, heritage and difference in philosophy would account for that.

     

    As a side note, the Queen draped in Wellington's jacket in his office was a bit much.

    Yeah, I agree with @DuD that the anonymity could have been used a lot better. I've got to be honest as well, coming back to the game for the first time in a while, the mechanics had me pretty off-balance at first. I was able to talk after I died by had no idea how long for.

     

    Smeagol - Reason I didn't reveal who I was after I died was because I thought that my anonymity would be helpful and was trying to stir up the game a bit. Also I got no info from my target on the first night so didn't really have anything to "help".

     

    Question for the mafia: any reason why you targeted me on the first night? Did I enquire too much and look like trouble?

    I like how they didn't tell us, but gave us some theories. I especially loved the second one, making fun of "shippers". And the way they did the first one. I was sat thinking "this is stupid" and then it turned out to be someone guessing.

     

    As for the plot of the actual episode, I didn't really find it that interesting.

     

    Agree with most of what you have said.

     

    I'm interested in what we didn't find out about in that episode. I still think that Moriati (sp?) isn't dead and really think that the chap we saw was a puppet. I've thought right from the beginning of the series that Mycroft is going to end up being the eventual antagonist.

    Hey @Nolan , glad to hear that you're ok and that no one else was hurt (that's what you mean by cited yeah?). And no it's not Opera being shit that image is rendering huge in Chrome as well for me.

     

    I'm awake at 4:30 in the morning on Christmas eve as my darling wife actually pretended to open the bedroom window when I asked her to. Now have a splitting headache and pretty fucking angry. I'm going into work today to go to my job where shit is getting ridiculous.

     

    Our support documents need an overhaul, which is a massive job that I look like I'm going to have to do on my own and likely in my free time. Only this way can I get on and do the proper bits of my job without being interrupted by by retail customers that have bought kit that is way too complicated for them to install. I'm really starting to despise how current society encourages people to understand their computers so little that the vast majority of people can't understand how to set an IP address let alone understand what it it.

     

    I'm getting so little done at work in a day at the moment that I come home with no sense of achievement or progress and feel like everyday is trudging through treacle whilst gradually sliding backward. Not only that but as a team, we usually get on pretty well but some people I'm genuinely starting to despise and I don't like how that feels.

     

    I'm miserable, tired, angry and I'm struggling to feel like I'm going to be any kind of company during either the day or the evening today. Thanks work. Merry Christmas.

    Just played a bit of Contrast. It plays a bit like an unremembered 90s action game (i.e. it's meh) but my lord the animation is so terrible! Just awful stuff. And most of the characters are silhouettes so it should be better!

     

    I was quite surprised by the animation too. I like the game a lot and the art style is lovely. The lack of animation punch just stops it from filling those characters with life and charm.

    £9?! I thought this was a free little dealie. Wasn't something in the Direct supposed to be free? Nothing about this appealed to me enough to be worth £9 from what I saw, so it's not something I'd be likely to get. What are people's opinions on the value offered by this?

     

    Yoshi level DLC for Sonic Lost Worlds was free :laughing:

     

    This looks like a great game. Shame that I can't enjoy it on my 3DS and from the reactions that I've seen from various places, that would be a popular decision.
