The Lurker's Lair #32

[jaggedbubbles]

I didn't know Enslaved was already out. I'll add it to my GameFly queue.

[Si-Shen]

You know, I just saw something on Enslaved the other day, but I did not read up on it... Now I am a bit curious.

[jaggedbubbles]

It's by the same studio that did Heavenly Sword (the art style gives it away).

[InsanitySorrow]

Yup made by the same team, the lead female character gives it away , Tis a lot better than Heavenly Sword though

[Si-Shen]

I never played Heavenly Sword so I cant compare to it

Happy Turkey Day ppl and if its not Turkey Day where you are, then close your eyes and pretend!

[jaggedbubbles]

Hehe, Turkey Day for me isn't until next month, but Happy Thanksgiving, Canadians!

Lady_N requested a link to this in the shouty, so here it is!

It's a forum dedicated to exploring abandoned buildings, it's cool to read through, some good stuff!

[Lady_Nerevar]

Great find, thanks for sharing! Will definitely come in handy for modeling/texturing/level design.

I'd really love to do this sort of urban exploration myself. Theres plenty in Baltimore to explore, but sadly most of the cool places are in shady areas of town. That and my responsibility rating is a bit too high to go breaking in to places

[Si-Shen]

I still say pretend and join in the turkey! LOL

Looks like someone is gonna have to go into the CS and edit LN's settings so she will go explore! LOL

Also, had my first day back to work today, I earned moneh!

Someone at my old university made a documentary about urban exploring, here is a link if anyone is interested!

Decided to have another Mass Effect 2 session today. Six hours after doing absolutely nothing else of note I have a headache. Ow.

[jaggedbubbles]

TIL there is a Duke Nukem Forever early access code CD key in my Steam version of Borderlands.

[InsanitySorrow]

I know there are codes coming with the Borderlands GOTY Edition, is that what you bought?

[jaggedbubbles]

No, at least, I don't believe I do. I vaguely remember downloading the DLC separately.

Under properties, it doesn't say GOTY or Game of the Year DLC like my version of Oblivion does.

EDIT: I confirmed that I got the normal edition and purchased 3 DLC items two weeks afterward.

[InsanitySorrow]

Huh normal edition and you still haz access, lucky , I know it's for the GOTY edition, but maybe Steam/DLC users may get it also

[jaggedbubbles]

It probably has to do with the DLC. I think I purchased the DLC that would've come with the GOTY edition anyway, so I guess it counts.

[InsanitySorrow]

The only DLC I'm missing is the Clap Trap Revolution, been a while since I played Borderlands so not got that yet. Have still not completed the Armoury DLC yet, was too low in level

[Si-Shen]

I asked someone else (at the GGB) about Borderlands, got mixed comments and got negative ones from one of the EB sales guys.

Picked up Enslaved though for my PS3... as I said to the clerk, Insanity made me do it! The look I got was priceless!

Edit: Also got my new shirt and letter opener! YAY!

Borderlands is a good game, though it's better when playing Co-Op with friends

I would have loved to see his/her face

[Si-Shen]

Oh you would have enjoyed it indeed!

Then I had to explain it because I did not think he would give me the game after I said that lol, they know I am strange but that was I think, making them really wonder

[Rowan]

OMG!!! anyone else seen this:

apparently it was all done with blender!

[jaggedbubbles]

Yeah, a friend of mine from college did the rigging for Sintel. Apparently he's one of the two riggers that Blender employs. I was amazed.

Just look for it in the credits: Nathan Vegdahl.

[Jheuloh]

Hadn't seen Sintel before, but I had heard of the project when it was relatively new and still mostly in the works.

Edit: It is a touching storyline, the message of the shaman is poignant at the end.

[InsanitySorrow]

Cool, always surpised at what can be done in Blender

On another note I completed the Enslaved game, loved it, gonna have to play again

[jaggedbubbles]

Is there any replay value to Enslaved? Everything I've read on it says it's a good game with very low replay value.
