Code Of Conduct (Read First)

Shawn "Certis" Andrich - Mon, 03/10/2008 - 8:34pm

If there is one universal truth to this outline it is that we retain the right to change these rules at any time. These are guidelines of what we generally expect, and simply because we haven't explicitly stated here that you can't do X doesn't mean you, by default, can. Generally I don't like Codes of Conduct because it implies that the forum members don't know the appropriate way to act in a public forum. My feeling has always been that if you need these rules to know how to act, then you're probably not going to be here long.

Steam Community

Duffman - Mon, 08/06/2007 - 8:03pm

It's live - I've taken the liberty of creating a GWJ group. Here's the link:
http://steamcommunity.com/groups/GWJ

But I kind of effed up. When you initially create a group, you have the choice to make it private or public. I left it private, thinking I could change it later. So far, there doesn't seem to be a way to do it.

So, until I get that figured out, link to your Steam ID here and I'll get you added to the group.

GWJ Ventrilo Server FAQ

TheWalt - Fri, 12/22/2006 - 12:49pm

Ventrilo can be downloaded at The Ventrilo download page.

Quote:

1) Start the ventrilo program. Click on the Start button, click on Programs and then click on Ventrilo. This will display another menu option called Ventrilo that will start the actual program.

2) Click on the "->" button that is next to the first pulldown window called "User Name". This will open a new window where you can create a logon name to be used when connecting to a server.

3) Click the "New" button. This will open a small window where you can enter your logon name. The name you enter is entirely up to you. It can be your real name or a nick name, but preferably your GWJ Forum name .

Official GWJ Connections

We have a great many different ways to communicate and play games together these days and I thought it was about time we made a sticky to keep it all together.

Gaming Addiction Article with Sad Consequences

demonbox - Wed, 03/17/2010 - 7:40am

Not sure if this is the right section of GWJ forums or not (also not sure how I feel about the idea of "gaming addiction"), but still felt this was worth sharing: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/southkorea/7376178/Korean...

The URL gives the story away, tragic stuff. not sure it's politics or controversy, or if it so specific to MMOs that it belongs there. Anyway, feel free to move (mod), if this was the wrong section of the forums.

Xbox 360 slim?

Scratched - Wed, 03/17/2010 - 7:06am

from http://kotaku.com/5495181/rumor-new-xbox-360-model-slims-down-%5Bupdate%5D

Comparing with the older versions (google images) I'd say it looks like they took about a third off the area of it.

Deadly Premonition: WTF of the year?

G-Boobie - Wed, 03/17/2010 - 4:37am

While shopping for a birthday gift for a friend, I picked up a copy of Deadly Premonition. It's an Xbox 360 exclusive, and released at a twenty dollar price point. I put about five hours into it, and I think I might be in love.

Imagine, if you will, that you're an FBI agent who must travel to a remote town in the Pacific Northwest to solve the brutal murder of a popular young girl. That shouldn't be too hard to imagine, because that's Twin Peaks. Now, imagine that your FBI agent avatar has an imaginary friend and holds conversations with him in public.

3 Games: A Hypothetical Question.

Prozac - Tue, 03/16/2010 - 7:39pm

This is one of those Hypothetical what if questions.

I was thinking to myself what if I could only play three games for the rest of my life, which three would I choose. After contemplating this for a while my final list was:

Dwarf Fortress
Europa Universalis 3
Mount and Blade

Which got me thinking. I do enjoy linear pre packaged experiences but I tend to prefer a sandbox. I'd be interested to see what games you guys come up with. My colse runners up were X-Com, and something by Bethesda.

Dragon Age Pen and Paper RPG

Trachalio - Tue, 03/16/2010 - 2:29pm

Dragon Age RPG

Anyone gonna check this out? Certis, Brennil, Gaald and I are on a 4e break for the next while, but we're always open for a new RPG experience. I don't know much about the Dragon Age RPG, but I've heard that Green Ronin is known for making quality RPGs.

Unfortunately it doesn't look like any of our local gaming stores have this in stock.
