Frictional Games? Ouch!
Do they warm up the more you play them?
1st, 2nd and 3rd!
Overture has been considered to be one of the scariest games of 2007
Even more than Doom?
Because if it is, I’m not doing it.
Doom wore me out with the constant scare tactics, to the point I didn’t play it anymore.
Scarier the better!
Well this is at least a step in the right direction.
Peace.
I’m afraid of glossy!

“Scariest Game of 2007”?
I thought that award went to Microsoft Vista.
“‘Scariest Game of 2007’?
I thought that award went to Microsoft Vista.”
Actually, it’s Escape from the Planet of the Apes: Steve Ballmer Edition. It’s comes with a dance pad and a gallon of vodka.
Yeah! that’s what we need. More mor – mor – morons playing games with themselves. Or is it, playing with themselves – games?
A bloke walks into a Glasgow library and says to the prim librarian, ‘Excuse me Miss, dey ye hiv ony books on suicide?’
To which she stops doing her tasks, looks at him over the top of her glasses and says, ‘Fook off, ye’ll no bring it back.’
My iMac has an ATI X1600 and my MBP has a GeForce 8600 M GT. How am I supposed to know if these are good enough to play this game?

games require an achievable goal and a victory condition. vista can not be won…
Have you ever noticed how a MATT screen, seems to absorb all the ambient light. And the user over time realizes the monitor is sucking all the positive ions out from your pupils.
Strange, though, a glossy screen reflects those ions right back into your eyes, brighting and easing your time while using the device.
Or am I just wired differently?
Anyways, this debate over screens is very tiresome.
Apple has good reasons to comply to environment standards for computers – and the choice of glossy glass is a part of this.
It’s nothing “enviromental” sticking a piece of shiny, once a pile of sand, glass sheet in front of the same LCD panel that’s on matte screens.
Except of course if your a sea turtle.
SAVE THE SEA TURTLE’S DWINDLING ENVIROMENT, BUY A MATTE SCREEN COMPUTER!!!
Think of all the young eyes being RUINED by Apple’s cheap glossy screens.
Cheap Apple, doesn’t care about children. Typical corporation.
