Dishonored, it's pretty fun, although I'm not too used to FPS on console, so movement is kinda wonky for me.

That game is hella fun though

how would you describe the current situation now that the terrorists finally given you their demands?

Still getting snipers in position, we need to have a clear shot, it's no good if we miss.

At this point I can't tell if that's a metaphor or not.

Bioshock. Not "Bioshock: Infinte", like all the cool kids, the first one.

. A mere 6% of all casualties and 1.7% of all deaths were caused by gas despite the fact that one in four of all artillery shells fired were gas shells.

Plus I feel like a Freeman's Mind Boxed DVD set like RT made for "Red vs. Blue" would sell. I would probably buy it, especially if it had some exclusive content.

Breencast: [instinct Rant]

Freeman: Ok, this guy clearly does not understand how evolution works. It's not my field, but even fucking elementary school kids know more than that. Jesus Christ. And this guy ran Black Mesa. No wonder it blew up.

Breencast: Instinct, therefore, must be expunged. It must be fought tooth and nail, beginning with the basest of human urges: The urge to reproduce.

Freeman:Oh hell no. Now you're trying to tell me what to do with my junk? Fuck you, Dr. Breen. I am going to find you AND FUCKING KILL Y-

*City Scanner takes picture*

Freeman: Heh... That was a... a joke. Have a nice day, you creepy flying robot surveillance... thing.

I think someone should make a Kickstarter for the Machinima Enema program. The more money raised, the larger and pointer the objects shoved up their asses.

Pokemon Emerald, on my phone's GBA emulator

A Combine Zombie? It... it's like a... Zombine, right?

Gordon's reaction to the rebels being in his way will be priceless

Gordon Kick mod?

Gordon: Move. Move. Move now. Fucking move! AHHHHHHH *kicks rebel off ledge*

Alex: A Combine Zombie? It... it's like a... Zombine, right?

Gordon: I would slap you, but like my dad used to say "Son, never hit a woman... who knows how to use a gun."

or

Gordon: Did... did you really just... That's retarded! You're retarded. These things could seriously kill us. They are zombies with fucking body armor and you're making puns. Shit, tell them you call them "zombines" and maybe they'll kill themselves out of embarrassment.

Also I wanna see his reaction for the zombines with grenades

Oh man, if I was an eccentric billionaire, I'd hire Ross to follow me around and be my internal monologue. Unfortunately I'm not all that eccentric, so I'm basically just your average billionaire aside from the fact that i have no money.

I better go do some research on how we could sell TGWTG on Freeman's Mind.

Uh... Let them watch it?

I think Freeman would weep at having to leave Grigori for the mines. "He's like the father I never had!"

More like "He's like the batshit crazy uncle I never had... I mean, I had a batshit crazy uncle, but he wasn't cool batshit crazy. Uncle Jerry just liked to glue macaroni art to his chest and run down the street naked and stuff like that. Never anything cool, like shooting zombies and spouting bible verses like some combination of Jules Winnfield and William Overbeck

But as you mention, you'd probably get a game that's very much like MP3, i.e. 60% cutscene and 40% corridor shooter... Yes, it's funny to hear a character react to everything, but I feel the machinima/movie genres are a lot more appropriate for that than an actual video game, simply because you won't get a lot of gameplay or interesting interaction with the world. You're just watching and listening at that point.

I felt like this worked well for MP3. Even though the game was VERY linear it was still interesting the whole way though , in large part due to the story. Any game with this style of monologue would have to be linear, but that's not always bad (Though it usually is). But that's off topic.

Slightly more on topic, I can't seem to get Brutal Doom to work and this saddens me.

I love that this is basically just that Doom comic book except funny on purpose. Oddly enough, this, and not Freeman's Mind, is what convinced me that there needs to be an FPS where the main character constantly monologues. Not just the occasional one-liner like Duke Nukem or having a chatterbox support character like Claptrap, the actual main character reacting to damn near everything and telling stories during lulls in the action. With so many shooters being both linear and almost entirely scripted-event-driven, it shouldn't be too hard to design. Just a ton of writing and voice acting involved.

Max Payne 3 does a good job of near-constant narration. Granted, most of Max's dialogue is narration like he's telling the story like a flashback as you play it, and not an actual monologue, but it's a similar concept and I think it at least shows that what you're talking about is possible.

It would have to be really well done too, otherwise it would be really annoying. They would have to be well-acted, clever, and there would have to be enough to where it wouldn't repeat. But if done right, that would be awesome.

I took this one as a satire on the other 'Minds.

 

Never really watched the other "Minds", they're a lot like that?

 

Not all of them.

Some are pretty good, others not so much. Barney's mind is ok and Shepard's mind is good. Also check out Courier's Mind by the AF fourum's very own 101Phase, it's good too. I can't think of examples of bad ones, because the bad ones I usually just forget and move on.

When he finds out who Alyx is, he'll figure out that she was only, like, three the last time they met, and he will proceed to have an extended period of self-disgust.

"Oh shit, am I a pedophile? Nonono... No. I mean, I wasn't attracted to her until she's like twenty something, right? So no pedo. And technically I should be forty seven now, but biologically I'm still twenty seven because my cells didn't age during suspended animation. Shit, statutory rape gets confusing when you factor in time travel. You know what, fuck it, she's hot and I'm already a fugitive."

Brutal F*cking Doom

 

Hmmm I wonder what could have possibly inspired you to go play this game... hmmm... it's a puzzler.

Wipeout 2048 for me. Pretty sweet, if you like Wipeout games

Pretty sure the "Episode 7" thing is just for April Fools, to trick the particularly gullible into looking for them. Although... I want to believe... I want to see the other six

Machinima doesn't want to reveal their contract making policy of "eat alphabet soup and shit out a contract"

Especially if the people you may potentially piss off have more leverage

Max Payne, because Max Payne 3 was so awesome and I want the rest of the story

Well I've been offered a contract and while I can't reveal anything in it here, all I can say is there's no way I can sign it in its current form. I submitted a list of revisions needed, I'm really hoping things can come to a sane solution.

Ass-Slappage.
