Soooo..... Morphballs huh? And you are even going to call it a morphball. Really?

i was surprised to see that too, i hope they dont get sued by Nintendo..... e.e

Unless there's a patent filed I doubt it's possible.

I remember playing Die2Nite with a bunch of people from Bay12 and I saw today that the creators of that game just released a new project along the same lines. This one however trades the Zombie Apocalypse for a Spaceship. You inhabit one of 16 characters and several are traitors for the evil Mush race who have conquered Earth and are trying to destroy your ship of survivors. I haven't gotten that far into it yet of course (these things take time) but it seems to have a bit less glacial a pace, with turns regenerating every 3 hours and having generous movement and action bars. Worth giving a try at least I'd wager! There's also some sense of progression as a character, at least within one round - I don't think anything carries on between completed rounds. http://mush.twinoid.com/

Fair warning, you will get pennies for original xbox stuff these days.

I totally agree with this.
When I sold my 360 two years ago (when they were still going strong), I only got $50(USD).
Some day you'll want to play an old Xbox game again, and the extra $20 won't be worth the loss.

Quote with obvious anti-american sentiment.

This is the most annoying thing I hear about AC3. How is it pandering to Americans? Just because the chose the American revolution doesn't mean they were. But I have to agree that AC3 was the weakest of the series.

Yeah, any game that insults our perfect Lord and Savior, Saint George Washington, is in no way pandering.

Also, I liked AC3. I thought that Haytham Kenway brought back a lot of AC1's "empathy for the Templar stuff".
Last, why do people keep calling them "Templars", even the game does it. It's "The Knights Templar", not "The Knights Templars."

The same reason we don't say 'The Order of Assassins' or 'The United States of America' when we want to say Assassins or America? Seems like a weird thing to get upset a bout to me.

I don't think AC1 is really worth it at this point, the story stuff isn't really that much more interesting and the gameplay is vastly inferior in literally every way.

Really hated Logitechs joysticks, at least on my old Rumblepad 2. They are oddly square-shaped and it makes it so I jump at weird angles. Made for some terrible disasters in Assassins Creed platforming for example, where I'd just jump at a diagonal when I meant to go straight.

You know what I would like? Some form of context-senstivity for moving around. For instance if I try to walk through a tree, I'd love to be promoted if I want to chop it down. Cuts down on button presses and makes it more comfortable to play. Something UnrealWorld also needs a lot.

black screen problem can be fixed by pressing new in world creation area there will be a map that becomes available then press start

Thanks for that, this needs to be more clear on the screen (or heck, grey out the start button until one has been generated)

For anyone following along with the big remake, they just posted a big update. They got a REALLY good UI designer:

and have been making some good progress to making it way more approachable (and enjoyable) to play with:

 and things seem to be progressing nicely - animation is in and working so that characters can, you know, actually move like humans (or cyborgs, or monkeys, or terrible aliens, or clowns presumably)

They seem to be slow at updating their homepage but are quite active on Facebook, Twitter, and their own Forums. A new website is forthcoming and looks as gorgeous as their new UI (which makes sense since I think the same guy is designing that too) This is really shaping up to have a lot of potential. Will live you with the oddly relaxing main menu:

Literally no advantage to Tarn to go to Kickstarter. He wants to work on this as his life's work, donations already cover that monthly.
