AlienSlof Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Hahahaha, me too! I'm way old! I remember my family not even having a TV or a phone of any sort! If we wanted to do some gaming, we went outside or pulled the toy box out! Here I was thinking I was last old fart who didn't own a mobile phone! Hate the things, though I can also see good uses for them too. Keeping social media off them for starters! The number of times I've been bumped into by people walking along, eyes on screen instead of looking where they're going! I'd wave my walking stick at you young 'ins if I still needed it! Being bionic is great! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AaronOfMpls Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 (edited) And going back on topic, I saw someone was banned over a My Summer Car screenshot of a common "problem" in pirated versions. I'm going to have to look up what that game does if it thinks you're playing a pirate copy. (I assume it's a bit like how one of the GTA games would get increasingly-bad shaky cam and increasingly-shoddy cars if it was cracked too hastily. Or when Game Dev Tycoon's devs intentionally leaked a pirate version where your game studio always goes bankrupt in the later stages because too many people are pirating your games instead of buying them. ) Edited September 30 by AaronOfMpls slight revision 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Arkham Asylum/City. You needed to access areas that was only reachable by gliding to progress the story (Batcave in Asylum/A certain vent in City) and of course you couldn't reach them if you couldn't do that. They also did something with the grapple gun, it'd detach or not fire randomly. Was pretty funny watching people screaming over these "bugs" when the games came out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHeadAngel Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 I just read the Bans thread (as I do), and I saw someone named Ambryho who got banned for making some very, how should we say, colorful remarks about certain groups of people. I mean that in the worst possible way. After reading what the person said, all I thought was, "What a fraggin' Froot Loop." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't get to hang around too long after they've made a noise and get noticed. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
