It blew my mind last night when I played Stanley Parable for the first time and saw there was an achievement for not playing the game for 5 years.

Guys, I was procrastinating from my job because my boss is on vacation and I'm working remotely from home :oops: and I saw on Twitter that some indie devs are offended that Polygon said this:

E3 is loud, expensive, sexist and violent: It's also the only place to be next week http://sbn.to/1hBHeuX ...

Just a curiosity, do you think future computers will enhance or hinder NN? I don't know anything about graphics, so I'm just curious.

He hasn't stated explicitly, but you all KNOW Matt is backing Reading Rainbow .

What's everyone's favorite horrific moment in a game that's not overall a frightening game?

The best example I can think of right now is Ravenholm from Half-Life 2. That section really nailed it on frightening!

What are some more good examples?

Out of boredom, I started playing RE1 on Ouya this weekend. Damn, that game is so hard. You really need to master that knife, because there are hallways SO narrow that you literally cannot run, and there is not enough ammo to kill all the zombies you find yourself in this situation with.
