People who signed up for Steam to play DOTA evidently only care about playing DOTA, to the surprise of no one

Additionally, free to play successor to mod responsible for millions of instances of piracy specifically to play it attracts the kind of person that doesn't buy videogames, to the etc. etc. Not sure what it's in response to, though.

Idk what the source is or anything, but a bunch of people have alternate accounts just for smurfing in both Dota and CS. Doing some math... Real account: 40 games Smurf account: 2 games Average: 21 games

I don't know why it's in this thread, but it's part of this interesting blog post from the creator of SteamSpy. TLDR; Steam follows the same 80-20 rule as most other industries.

The new WOFF! is out, and it's about Zone of the Enders. http://duckfeed.tv/woff/107 Up next is a multi-part episode about Paper Mario, followed by Doom II, then King of Dragon Pass.

Sweet. I've just bought King of Dragon Pass and I loved playing Doom 2 and Paper Mario. Other submissions have been killing it recently so I'm going to have to step up my prose. Also, it occurred to be that there must be a solid goof about Gary's neighbour's dickless brother and that guy that talked about grinding his dick off in Bloodborne, but it's just not coming to me.

Song For The Deaf posted:then King of Dragon Pass. yessssssssss I'm doing this (secret) dance right now  Read the manual! And maybe this post (or not if you want to fumble around, which is totally reasonable. Read the manual for sure though, the game basically expects you to.) Don't forget to select the long game when you start or else the game ends like halfway through in a silly way. NmareBfly fucked around with this message at 22:42 on Aug 20, 2015 |

There's a pretty good thread for KODP and it's been fairly active since KODP came out on steam, if anyone is interested they definitely should checkitout.TetsuoTW posted:Is this supposed to mean something? It really doesn't prove anything though, except that there's a hell of a lot of game player/consumers out there who only play one game and nothing else.. I'd bet that World of Tanks players' number of owned games, looks a lot like the DOTA graph, for instance. Smurfing accounts are probably super commonplace as well.

RE: Ikea furniture in the newest Thumbs.. I just go in and say "oh hey wow, these instructions were backward and there are all these holes stuck on the wrong side (no I totally didn't drink a six pack while I was putting together that cabinet, and then start drilling holes when I decided it was hosed up). Never had anyone even give me a second look, for returning half-assembled/broken furniture. Since the instructions on most of that stuff are written in in random language and then translated in the style of black market chinese t-shirts, you can usually just blame that. edit: the name of the crashing-mac icon in the early mac OSes was literally "sad Mac" coyo7e fucked around with this message at 04:52 on Aug 21, 2015 |

I think it also contains the most disturbing Duckfeed line to date in "It's like the Sloth scene from Seven, except Genome Soldiers instead of air fresheners." I cringed.

On the subject of anime tie-ins to things that don't exist and include annoying child protagonists, Giant Robo. It's a finale to a long-running, entirely fabricated series. I don't know that ZoE was intended to be like that but Giant Robo certainly pulls it off at least a little better.

Does anyone remember which Idle Thumbs episode(s) had all the GamerGrub talk? The database drew a blank.... All I remember for sure is that it was super early in OG Thumbs.

The 90s Giant Robo is unique in that it's based on the original creator's entire canon so the material exists but the story within the show is original. I guess the closest Western example is DC's Kingdom Come which is all the DC superheroes decades after a cataclysmic event we only get a glimpse of.

It all depends on the piece. I've had a couple of cabinets come together perfectly, one shelf where a few holes didn't seem to connect to anything but it has functioned fine for years, etc. And then there was the "no tools needed" bedframe that I straight up had to find a drill and screws for because nothing at all in the box matched the instructions after step 3. No holes, no pegs, no connection whatsoever. It was like someone had machine translated the pictures.

I was there for Detolfs, which seem to be the standard for display cabinets, and they were fairly easy and pretty fun to assemble. Stuff looks right good in'em, too. I dunno if I'd trust an Ikea bed or whatever, but for display things and the like, they're pretty great.

You should really begin to worry when you get cheaper than what they've got on offer. Hi there, permanently dented when an elbow hit it "wooden" shelving from Costco that cost me $10.

Same I love it! I didn't want to get into it on the show for some reason but I find it very fun. It's like Lego but then you have a new chest of drawers! And yeah I was making GBS threads on the Ikea-style furniture sold at places like Target. It is trash that falls apart instantly. Admittedly SOME Ikea stuff is like that too, but in my experience most Ikea furniture that doesn't fall apart in the first six months lives for years. (Also, don't buy the particle board Ikea stuff if you can avoid it -- the furniture they make out of actual wood is pretty decent once it's together and in your house.) Also that furniture assembly game was genuinely hilarious to watch being played. ja2ke fucked around with this message at 17:19 on Aug 22, 2015 |

Shameless self promotion time: I'm running a Kickstarter for a book. It's a parody of one of those Worlds of Power books about Dark Souls. Of course, I can't actually use Dark Souls so I've created an 8bit simulacrum of it. It'd mean a lot to me if you checked it out! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/152640612/souls-of-darkness-a-retro-style-dark-souls-book

Wow Spaf talking about Contradiction and saying that the MC is annoying really bums me out on the latest IT Like I listen to him and think of the Giant Bomb East playthrough of it and how I literally bought the game because I was so entertained by their playthrough of it. The guys who played the main character and one of the other major characters sent in an "Audition Tape" to them to play on the Beastcast. It's pretty amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqnFq3b3d0I They're so good-natured about it all and clearly enjoyed what they were doing, it's a shame when people can't get into it.

TetsuoTW posted:I haven't seen much of that game, but based on what I've seen I can understand how some people might not like it because being ironically crap is dangerously close to being actually crap. Contradiction is not ironically crap. It's actually really easy to spot the difference between a cheesy work where everyone is enjoying themselves and care about their product, and something like Kung Fury, which is a big cynical piece of poo poo

Being ironically bad and having/being fun aren't mutually exclusive. In fact, I'd say that's one of the differences between ironically crap and just plain crap (like Kung Fury).
