I didn't like the Dad cartoons, I'm waiting for it to load right now. Seriously, 14 MB?

No, no they couldn't. Fuck all of you :'(

Just read up the stupid mythbusters thing and doesn't it help when you can't find the European license anywhere.

It wasn't awful but not well enough made to be enjoyable, too button-mashy and confusing. Parts worked pretty well though.

I also played the dad game, it was pretty stupid and had way to short of a storyline. I always enjoy games with really interesting storylines so if anyone finds one for me I'll be very happy.

In other words I can't seem to finish any of my animations no matter how easy they are I lack motivation to finish it even if I lock myself in my room and blast my favorite music from my speakers, I can't seem to motivate myself! I have four... Or three I forgot... Years of experience with flash and somehow I can't animate at all! Does anyone recommend any tips for me.

Braid on xbox live Arcade. it's like a tragic satire of Mario. the game in it's entirety is a masterpiece

Thanks but I meant a game on newgrounds or other hosting site.

i liked it... it lent itself well to the spirit of the series i thought.

I mean the dads home series is not exactly known for its soul-moving storyline or substance.

I thought it was fun and as button mashy as id expect Dad to be. It isnt ground breaking or thought provoking but it was just a fun time waster. I think he was more successful at capturing the spirit of what was originally a cartoon series than blockhead was with that abomination of a game.

OH thats blockhead game was really horrible! (It's a good thing the swain is never online or else we would invoke his wrath)

It's just one of those games with endless violence that you get bored of easily.

Agreed, and the graphics were just... Bad...

I liked the dad game.

And that heat rush was pretty fun, reminded me a lot of pole position.

Honestly I didn't love the game, but I played it through and I thought it was pretty good, and yea, kinda along the lines of what luis said, it seemed more like an episode of dad that you could also play, and in that respect it was fun. Plus it seems like this might be his first dive into game programming, so for a first game, he did a good job.

C'mon guys the bad art is just his "style"

</sarcasm>

sakupen is awesome. game could have been much better. I actually like it, but i stopped playing in like 5 minutes, no clear direction and it's too random(yeah i know, it's dad but c'mon) I'll finish it late just to see more awesome ninja cutscenes

It was an ok game but it probably would have been more worth the guy churning out 2 episodes in that time.

The only reason it has such a high rating though its on the weekly game banner, so it must be good, so pretty much everyone just rates it 5.

It really is though.. Not everything needs to look polished like it came out of a pixar studio for it to be beautiful. I think the crude art works for that series. The subject matter is very crude, borderline absurd and the art compliments it.

just like david bowie, or the rolling stones. its that ugly, unpolished style that makes it beautiful.

So I was thinking about installing SmartFoxServer on my NAS server (a Synology DS207+), but Google fails me and I haven't got much of a clue on where to start. Someone here does?

Dad's game was extremely generic and boring, not to even mention overrated...

See if you can install Java on the OS.

I personally think Dad's Game would have been better with a more fancy pants vibe to it (larger world, faster movement), and a little less destruction honestly. There was too much going on at once. I'd press a button and see 10 things fall down in smoke and flames. Larger world + faster/smoother movement + spread out items (a little more spread out) could have kept the same feeling to the game.

Actually I think the dad game would be much MUCH better if it had the same fighting engine applied to a free roaming world instead of levels. The more destruction dad causes the more in trouble with the police, (even though that sounds like grand theft auto), and dad got in less trouble with the police if he gets a guitar.

I feel so retarded now; I can't find any more info on the OS except that it's "Linux based", and I have never used that before.

I just got annoyed by the way the UI kept wobbling. The only reason that would happen would be if you tried to use a v-cam to scroll, then tried to compensate by having the UI follow it around, thus making it doubly redundant. There's a reason we keep telling you these things, people!

I'm surprised at how good Batman: Arkham Asylum is, I'm enjoying it loads 'n loads. It's been a while since I bought a game for my PS3. Far too long.

Any Mac users upgraded to Snow Leopard yet? Im debating whether its worth it. Loving the £25 upgrade price, fuck you Windows!
