Painter?!
I don't have a favourite painter. I don't care about painters. There are some that are talented, sure, and some pieces of art that I like, but I don't have a favourite painter.

To put this into perspective for you Monty, what's your favourite video game design studio?

I would say Valve
but I'm fickle and they take too long.

Valve are consistently good, but do take their time
Mine's Looking Glass/Irrational Games, if only for System Shock 2 and the Bioshock games.

Any idea when the next HL episode is out
I've stopped following gaming news it's wank.
(PsychoChomp, Thu 20 Jan 2011, 15:23, Reply)

Still no news on it whatsoever

Lionhead.
I fucking love Fable so much.

Fable disappointed me
As did 2. Not played 3 yet, but Molyneux has a tendency to hype the fuck out of his games, then say "oh, we had to take certain features out unfortunately". Why's that, Pete? Because they probably aren't fucking possible?!

3 is good, but fucks up halfway through.

Colour me surprised.

Didn't they sing "I wanna sex you up"?

Nah, Colour Me Surprised did "I Wanna Rape You Up".

They don't make 'em like that anymore, do they?

(Tugnut Ex of this parish, Thu 20 Jan 2011, 16:03, Reply)

Still not played 3
I love love loved 1 and 2 though.

I like Rovio cos they made Angry Birds

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Thu 20 Jan 2011, 15:20, Reply)

I like Creative Assemblies
because Shogun is one of my favourite games of all time, as is Medieval II. Shogun II is out this year and it's giving me the excuse to break out my awesome Japanese kung fu bad guy voice.
( Kroney, Thu 20 Jan 2011, 15:26, Reply)

Shogun was class
Never played the others, not a huge strategy game fan.

DMA possibly

So GTA 1 and 2, before Rockstar acquired them?

( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Thu 20 Jan 2011, 15:35, Reply)

few old games as well
like Blood Money

bunch of the old Psygnosis stuff.

also, LucasArts have made most of my favourite ever games.

the Monkey Island series?
infuriating fun those games.
(Zoz prayed for twink on, Thu 20 Jan 2011, 15:52, Reply)

Anything they made with the SCUMM engine was awesome
Day of the Tentacle, Monkey Island etc.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Thu 20 Jan 2011, 15:53, Reply)

Indy and the Last Crusade was utterly stupendous
that game gave me a great deal of enjoyment over many years.

I've just discovered that it was developed by Mindscape, after they were taken in by LucasArts. Mindscape were also responsible for my all time favourite game, Moonstone.

Same here,
Sadly point-and-click adventure games have died a death.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Thu 20 Jan 2011, 15:56, Reply)

I'm pleased they released the special editions of the first two Monkey Islands
they were great.

The recent episodic Tales from MI weren't bad either.

Which one did 'Daley Thompson's Decathlon?'

That one.

Isn't that the answer to the question 'Jamaica?'?

(Reverend Fister "a disciplined fuckwit", Thu 20 Jan 2011, 15:59, Reply)

Yes.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 20 Jan 2011, 16:29, Reply)

Yep, they also did worms but they're dead now I think

(PsychoChomp, Thu 20 Jan 2011, 15:40, Reply)

I thought Team 17 did Worms?
Edit: Wiki says Ocean and Team 17 co-produced Worms.

Daley Thompson's Decathlon ...
also known as 'How to wreck your joystick in an afternoon'
(Zoz prayed for twink on, Thu 20 Jan 2011, 15:55, Reply)

that's why you needed a Cruiser
even when they did eventually break they could be fixed by using Lego and bits of eraser to hold the microswitches in place.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 20 Jan 2011, 15:56, Reply)

Daley really wasn't worth such ingenuity.
