I haven't played this game too much yet, but I can already tell that it is very well-designed. It's one of the most dynamic games I've ever played. You have to constantly keep moving and responding to new situations, and your available actions are constantly (but predictably) changing. I'm looking forward to playing more of this tonight.

Minecraft stage could be procedurally generated, just like the original.

Procedurally-generated levels are far too complex. It's a lot more work than it's worth for a single stage.

The problem I have with a Minecraft stage is that the level would end up being a generic, tile-based stage. It doesn't have many distinct elements that could be transferred to a stage in Indie Brawl.

It's pretty cool that you joined Broken Rules. Their team could definitely use a talented artist and animator.

Add this line to the settings file, if it isn't there already:

Code:

screen size=1

You can also toggle between full-screen and windowed mode with F4.

since somebody suggested something about a self destructive "Seven Minutes" stage i had to do something about it. I know it's pretty simple but it's just an idea of how i imagine it should look like (i'm sure someone can make it ten times better :/). btw after all the blocks falls (after seven minutes maybe =P?) only the center platform should remain and it has to be made only with light blue semi-translucent blocks (like on the end of the game).

I think this would be a lot of fun.

-"Team # wins!"
-"The Winner is..." or "Player # wins!"
-"Computer Wins"

We could simplify this to:
"The winner is... <Character Name/Team <#>/Computer>"

I'm looking forward to hearing how it goes.

I said I don't care about running Crysis on its highest settings. As long as it can play most games on medium settings or better, I'll be happy.

I was seriously thinking about getting a G73JH, but ultimately I decided that I didn't play enough games to justify the higher price. Even the cheapest version of the model (the Best Buy version) cost $1300 after taxes, and it had a lousy hard drive which would have to be replaced.

Update! I've narrowed my search down to 3 different models.

I'm leaning towards the Asus N73JQ-XV1, which has solid specs, a 17.3" screen, and, from what I've heard, a great design that runs quietly and coolly.

I'm also considering the Asus N71JQ-X1, which doesn't have as nice a design, but has a better graphics card.

And finally, there's the Toshiba X505-Q885, which has fantastic specs for its price and an 18.4" screen, but is probably too heavy for how much I travel.

It was. That's a perfect example of why you should ignore pundits.

Good catch with the bug. It will be fixed in the next release.

Most of that stuff is more optional. We don't need a narrator to shout out every menu selection, although it wouldn't hurt either.

you forgot some stuff like:
-"Battle Mode"
-"Team Battle"
-"Training Mode"
-"Adventure Mode"

It would be "Battle", "Adventure Mode", "Museum" and "Options", most likely.

-"Choose your Character"
-"Ready" (when character is selected)
-"Game Set" (When Battle ends)

Probably not necessary, and they could get annoying, since they would play right after other voice-over work.

-"Player 1-2-3-4 has been Eliminated" (When a player loose all his lives)

I'm not sure about this. It could get annoying, but it could also be helpful. This might be worth including. However, I'd prefer to hear "<character name> has been eliminated!"

-"1 More to go" (When only 2 players still on the fight)

Not necessary if the above is used.

-"Winner is..." (Instead of "Team x Wins")

Any reason? "Team X Wins" is better English.

-"Continue?" (For the future)

That might be useful for Adventure Mode, depending on how involved it is.

I just want to say that I am very worried by what is going to happen, people say that Obama will attack Iran to stay in power, is it true?, I'm not American, but it worries me who is the next country that America will attack in search of terrorists or invisible nuclear weapons, no offense meant. And choosing the right candidate is extremely important to decide the future of the world...

Where have you heard this? Obama's getting enough flak for presiding over two unpopular wars that he didn't start and, in the case of Iraq, opposed from the beginning. The last thing he would want to do is start another war.

Even Bush was smart enough not to pull something like that. With Obama, there's not a chance it could happen.

To be honest, I'm glad voting isn't mandatory. If someone isn't voting, there's a good chance that they're disengaged and uninformed.

But really, no candidate is worth voting for. I don't give a fuck who wins, they are identical.

There are exceptions. Russ Feingold, for example. Regardless of what you think of his positions, you can't deny that he's in politics because he wants to fix the system, even if it goes against his personal interests. He refused to take out-of-state funds, for example.

Of course, he was just defeated for reelection, so make of that what you will.

Cool. Here's all I can think of:

"Get Ready... Fight!"
"Team 1 Wins!"
"Team 2 Wins!"
"Team 3 Wins!"
"Team 4 Wins!"
"Computer Wins!"
"Draw... Sudden Death!"

Harry Reid's race was just called in his favor, and Democrats are slightly ahead in Washington and Colorado. Their losses in the Senate might not be catastrophic, thanks to the extreme crop of Republican candidates. The governor's seats are still competitive in Illinois and Florida, as well. It's a bad election for Democrats, certainly, but it could have been worse. Now they at least have some chance of rebounding in the next elections.

Tea Party controls USA;
USA gets pissed at Iran/China/Russia/anyone;
Mutually assured destruction;
Earth over, please insert coin.

Wish that was a slippery slope, but it is entirely possible

As long as Obama is president, he controls foreign policy. And I would not expect 2012 to be nearly as bad for Democrats. At the very least, their turnout will be higher.

Ugh. I have to have faith in America that there are sane people out there. Why don't they seem to be voting? If you don't vote, The Crazies win.

This.

She had no chance of winning to begin with. Delaware is a down-to-earth, center-left state, where a crazy like her doesn't fit in at all.

Some good news: Democrat Joe Manchin won the race in Delaware, so at least Republicans won't be able to take over the Senate.
