Paradox games are basically crowd sourced as it is. Most of their customers buy multiple products and are active in the forums.

I am one of those people, and let me assure you that it's working.

You're beautiful.

Ah, crap. I thought I fixed it. It's the old standby "Orson Welles Clapping."

I also found out about bloop via Cloverfield. When I played the .wav file, it crashed my computer. I now have a very real phobia of these sounds. I didn't click any up there.

I'm posting this gif as emphatically as I can.

Wow, completely different tone from the first trailer. Not that I'm complaining.

It's funny that you mention that. I've spent much more time with Star Wars video games and ephemera like The Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels (i.e. the exotic set decoration) than I have with the actually movies or even the books. I think its a testament to the films as a cultural force that even though they…

To paraphrase Mitch Hedberg, I hate going to blacklight parties because I was under the impression that that stain came out.

I'm all for re-using elements of bigger-budget productions in order to try out new mechanics. What the point of being part of a big studio if you can't use their costume department for your weird indie film?

Speaking for myself, in order for the player to feel like pointing an empty gun is an effective method, it needs to work against the player. In other words, getting shot needs to be a big deal. Not "oh, I got hit, let me stand behind a wall and get better" or even "let me hit the hotkey for medpack." I'm not saying…

I think Independence Day would lead to more of a District 9 scenario...or, y'know, deathcamps.

Oh, you know, because reasons.

I don't think their spaceships were armed. They're strictly cargo ships.

If you didn't make this, go find whoever did and give them a high-five. If you did make it, well, treat yourself to something nice. Chocolate perhaps? Maybe a nice sweater? Whatever. You're worth it.

Me as well. Why am I so bad at things I enjoy?
