How many of those works were done by the same composer? The committee may have chosen two or three composers and then chosen from their works?
Could be. But if you're only gonna pick a handful of composers, how is Koji the GOAT Kondo not among them? :shrugblob:

Odd but i expect it was done in a rush given the events of the last few days regarding the previous music directors and composer.
So i expect it was a case of "Who do we know and can ask to get the rights for some music pretty damned quickly?" and someone on the committee came up with the list. It may have even been sat in a folder as a "backup" i'm sure we'll find out over the next few days/weeks.

ClassicFM has a decent article on the music so far.

Alright, maybe I will buy it >.<

Oh shit, I did not even think of this! I do have a reservation in for Steam Deck (Q1 2022 on most expensive model) and Tetris Effect would probably be the ultimate "launch" game for it for me
Also... more Picross on the go, omg

SteamDeck has a gyro, yes?
I want to see some SteamDeck Goggles so you can have it in front of your face like Google Cardboard and have a cheap VR solution with a connected controller. Sure, it'll have to be something like a safety helmet to take the weight and the res will be abysmal but some crazy sod is going to try it i'm sure.

Don't let me down this time, humanity!

Observation: despite of the EGS summer sale, there is barely any dev or pub advertising their games on sale on EGS, only so far Ive seen on Twitter is the publisher of Mundaun and Stonefly and there is barely any talk about the sale either.

Like, Days Gone is currently on sale on Steam and EGS and the game's Twitter page is only linking to the Steam page and mentioned EGS in the same tweet, but no EGS store page link.


No thread on ERA or r/gamedeals

Basically unless Epic finances coupons noone seems to give a shit, not even devs/pubs themselves. I mean, things can change of course, maybe Epic didn't tell any dev or pub about the summer sale so noone advertises their games on sale there, but yeah.
If there's no 10 bucks voucher I doubt many will care.
That’s not how Soul Calibur is written 😄

No Nintendo then? I thought Mario was part of the marketing for this one.
If I were Nintendo I'd like to stay away from that dumpster fire of an event.

been feeling the strongest burnout for a whole week now ish

found out i didnt get into the university i wanted (don't worry, i've been put on a waiting list and is very high on that waiting list, if 4 people exit/say no to this study with 145 spots, i'm basically in), but i seeked out support to the one and only Gabe
even though there weren't no norwegian dates for the steamdeck, he managed to reply with his good wishes and a nice little message with it, which were a big up for this rather ehh week

even though a lot of game companies are very interactive with their community through social media, nothing will beat how Valve handles their community

yeah he is

i mean, it will, if i don't get a spot there i'll get a spot at another university (norwegian system, basically you apply to university twice if you didnt get your first wish, you compete for free spots at that study if someone leaves it, you keep your old study until you get a new offer), and while that university offers a programming bachelor, most of it is theoretical programming oh boy cant wait to learn about the history of the html

It was too long though. As nice as the shooting was, I had my fill about 2/3s of the way through.
No way, it needed to be longer. The last third had a rushed pacing which ultimately made the story twist and final villain feel odd and unremarkable.
The first half is perfect :dmcblob:

We may not have a new Max Payne, but we still got these two awesome folks celebrating it. :partyblob:

Pretty awesome little homage. Voice actor seems kinda badass, could totally play Max in a movie, so long as it didn't have so many dives like the games :unsure:

It's a shame Rockstar has the IP since they're probably not going to do anything with it for a long time and the chances of them doing a remake/remaster seem rather low.
Remaster/remake of 1 and 2 that play nicely on modern operating systems without having to install a dozen patches would be neat.

I don't think I've ever had any computer where I didn't install Max Payne 1. That game is my childhood, I remember playing it for the first time at a Internet Cafe. Good old times.

Anyone remember Amazon Tony from the GAF days?



The guy always gave us awesome deals on Steam keys. Amazon used to be super competitive as a Steam key reseller. As soon as Tony left, Amazon's PC digital sales department went to shit.

Tony is now working for Twitch Prime, though I'm unsure if that's still the case.

I never used GAF but this person sounds familiar, he wouldn't happen to be the person that would talk about Amiibos as well would he? I remember hearing about it years ago where an Amazon person would tell people ahead of time about Amazon restocks of those and stuff like that.

Folks don't know, but the Steam Thread used to be home to Amazon Tony and Epic Galy.

I believe Amazon Tony was banned on GAF before Amiibos launched. I'm guessing no, though I can't say for certain since I haven't followed him post-GAF.
