I'm not going to tell you about the series (though it is awesome).
I'm going to tell you I recently bought a copy of the fourth book, Dark Days, at a local store who apparently care nothing for release dates.
It should not come out until April 1.
What should I do?
Use the poll to guide me! (though I will probably ignore you all and do nothing)

Seven to XP Keeping files

Sun, 28 Feb 2010 18:23:15 -0500

Is there any way to do it? My Win7 installation isn't activated so I need to downgrade soon but I don't have an ext. hdd to back up to. I have read various articles on downgrading but so far it has not been clear. I know downgrading to Vista will keep my files but I am not sure about XP. Any help you guys can lend me?

If we're already discussing this months memes anyways...

Deity - My first game project

Sat, 27 Feb 2010 13:36:43 -0500

Hey guys,

I've finally finished my first actual attempt at a 'serious' game project. It's a point and click horror game reminiscent of Clock Tower and 5 days a stranger. Check it out and give me some feedback on it

Summary:

Crowley thought he'd seen it all, but even he couldnt count on the horrors lurking inside the Ruglin household. Can you help Crowley solve the Mystery and uncover the secret?

It is possible to die - So save often!

Screenshots

(Imageshack has seemed to have compressed the shet out of the screenshots. The game does look better in reality, honest. )

Buying a new laptop

Wed, 24 Feb 2010 18:26:18 -0500

So I finally decided on buying a new laptop and you guys are going to help me with it I hope : <.
I decided a spending budget of 800 euro's is appropriate, being able to go up to 1000 euro for really really good deals, I want a premade one, cba assembling one, and it has to be ordered online in a dutch shop or somewhere closeby. Going to use it for both school and excessive gaming (mostly wow but I like to play a high-end game now and then that can run on low settings for all I care.

Here's the two I've been doubting inbetween:
http://www.laptopshop.nl/product/86215/a...video.html
An 800 euro laptop with 4GB RAM, HD5470 mobile ATI 1GB graphics card and an i5 2.26ghz 3MB L2 cache processor
and
http://www.centralpoint.nl/notebooks-lap...96/?ref=24
Which is basically the same but with an i7 2.66ghz 4mb L2cache processor for 130 euro's more (and slightly less HDD space but I don't care much about whether it's 500 or 640GB)

So, opinions? Is the i7 worth it?

The Casino

Mon, 22 Feb 2010 23:22:45 -0500

So in one of the trailers there is obviously a casino, what I really want to know is what games will be there. Although my best guess is Ramio racing and Ping tournies, I'm going to leave the imagination to you BGF.

So what games are in there?

My Golden Age Game Design Doc

Figured I'd post this up here, in case anyone was interested in reading. Feedback is helpful, though I've already turned it in, so I can't change anything, but I'm always looking for constructive criticism.

Space Station Madness!
David Roberts
High Concept
In the far reaches of space, the Space Station Orion is the secret location where humanity is researching a way to defeat the evil Xardon Empire, and they want nothing more than to demolish the whole thing!
Overview
Genre
Space shooter
Hardware Specifications
Display: Vector graphics, 8 colors, 256x256 resolution
CPU & Memory: Motorola 6809 @ 2 mhz
Controls: 360 degree rotating knob, fire button
Sound: 3 channel mono
Gameplay
The player is a singular ship, using the station's orbit and side firing rockets to rotate around the station, defending it from asteroids, aliens, and other bombardments. The player will utilize a knob that rotates a full 360 degrees, allowing for quick, precise movement, and a fire button to fire a barrage of bullets; only five bullets may appear on screen at a time, however, and always firing outward towards the edges of the screen. The opponents are trying to chip away at the station, each hit taking away a small chunk the size of whatever hit it. The game starts out slow with a few asteroids, and a few slow moving aliens. As the levels progress, however, more varied alien types appear, and start moving and firing faster. At the end of each level, the amount of opponents the player destroys will add up and heal the station a proportional amount. Once the center core is breached, the entire station is destroyed, no matter what damage has actually occurred, and the game is over, allowing the player to enter his or her initials.
Design Goals
The game will provide the player with a fast, frenetic, yet strategic game, that will keep his or her pulse racing the entire time. The increase in speed and enemy type will force the player to react faster, while the dial will allow for quick and precise controls, letting the player feel a sense that they can defend the station. The player will also thing strategically, as they must weigh the pros and cons of allowing certain sections of the station to be hit, while keeping the main core intact, as enemies will be coming in from all sides at once. Being able to enter their initials at the end will give the player a feeling of accomplishment.
Market
Target Audience
This game is made for all ages and sexes, but will most likely appeal to boys and men ages 12-34.
Competition
There are similar space games on the market (Asteroids, Space Invaders, etc.) but where those games are mainly games of survival, Space Station Madness is a game that mixes elements of strategy as well, while being much more fast paced. It is also similar to Warlords, with the destructible base, but it's more exotic setting, mixed with much faster paced gameplay make this a much more entertaining game.
Unique Selling Proposition
A fast paced action shooter that will actually make you think.
