I'm entering for the 9.99 on gog
1) i do not fail in fps unless i set some kind of superhardcore difficulty like the hardest setting in XIII which wasn't unplayable but fighting Moose at the end of the game was so frustrating i just quit. I don't really recall an "in your face" as well because if the difficulty is adequate then i'm ok with that but if the enemies are too lame it's not something that would make me "inyourfacing" them. That's mainly the case of bioshock and red faction. Red faction ended in like 4 hours and nothing even happened.

On the other hand there was one fps game that "inyourfaced" me. It was when i was playing RAGE which wasn't all that bad as a lot of people said it was until the point where the game just ended without even a chance of meeting the main villain whom everyone was telling me about throughout the game like he was THE superhardcore badass.



4)As for the new ones and old ones i actually played most of the old games from my library back in the day so the most exciting was probably playing Lands of lore 1+2 and Stonekeep, both of them were quite new to me. Stonekeep i didn't finish because the tentacle monster just refused to give up (and yes i did drain the water around that level) but LoL was really cool mainly because of the oldschool dungeoning and "vintage" voiceacting which i really like.
From the new ones it was probably the Blackwell bundle. I wasn't all that sure about indie adventure games but this one was quite clever with nice voiceacting making the characters quite likeable.

JMich: 1) Tell me of an "Oh God, how did I fail that bad" or "In your face!" experience you had in an FPS game.
Most banzai : CS1.5. Italy. Headshot a guy passing a corner of the street, while running, with one DEagle round. Perfect single luck shot.
Most bleeeh : CS1.5 Aztec. Shot a guy to death at a corner with mp5, honnestly thought he was an ennemy, didn't noticed that the ennemy team was already wiped a couple of seconds ago. Got kicked.

JMich: 2) What control scheme that has gone at least up to the prototype stage would you like to use for a game that doesn't support it, and how would it make the game more entertaining/fun.
Kinect + Gamepad with Descent-like game.
DO A BARREL ROLLLLLLLL !
avatar
JMich: 3) Are you (or were you) active in a research field? How did you become involved into it?
Yes. Through my studies.
avatar
JMich: 4) One classic and one new release on GOG that really excited you, and why?
Chaos Overlords because it's awesome. Me spamming the subforum proves that.
avatar
JMich: 5) Do you know about the GOGWiki?
Yes
avatar
JMich: Why haven't you been active there yet?
Don't have much time ?
avatar
JMich: What page of the Wiki do you think you could "adopt", to make sure it's correct and up-to-date?
Chaos Overlord because it's awesome and because I feel like I should make a tuto to convince people it's awesooooome.
HOWEVER I already permanently take care and updates the wiki section <user:Potzato, category wishlist, banner: gimme gimme gimme>

JMich: HIB Question: Why can't you grab the Bundle yourself? Is it due to lack of cash? Unsure about the games? Trying your luck to grab it for free, but in case Lady Luck isn't by your side, you'll grab it either way?
I am a "consciencious" gamer. My backlog is large enough given the time I have.

JMich: Thank you for the interview Potzato, I'm sure your numerousfull fans will appreciate your magnuficious generosity telling them more about you !
Did I win did I win did I win did I win ? ... hum .... you know where my wishlist is, if you ever need to sprinkle me with good old awesomeness !
In all cases, if you ever reach your thousand-mark, I might consider promoting you to ... sub-corporal JMich ? Izndat
awesome, huh ?
Potzato, that was awesome!
In for 9.99 GOG.

4) Classic: Quest for Glory 1-5. I still own all these on disc but knowing there is a digital backup to some of my favorite games is awesome. It makes it easier to recommend them now too.

New Release: FTL: I didn't know I was excited until someone at work told me about it and it sounded so good I had to try it out. It's great fun and can be played from a USB stick.
Thanks and +1 for your generosity, JMich!

Please, count me in for one of the $9.99 GOG bonus codes. ;)

1) I'm not able to tell you how many times, once I've finally overcome a really tight situation or defeated a hard boss after countless attempts, led by the excitement and nervousness, I've pressed the quickload key instead of the quicksave one... *sigh* :D

You're a new fan ? do you already have a fanclub card ? do you want one ? did you pay the weekly fanclub fee ? don't forget to wire the money twice, one time for me and then for Nitendo (I have to cover my hat)

In for the GoG bonus code, thanks for the giveaway!

1. Well, There are often arguments about saving mechanics in FPSs on the internet. I'm on the manual save is better part, though it made me climb up a wall a few times. Namely: MOHAA and Operation Flashpoint. Imagine there is a bare chance of saving at a really bad time, when you die moments after saving. Now, you try to survive by moving quickly, but it's not really working. You try lagging the game, this might work or not. After trying for the 50th time, you finally get out of the nasty spot, and immediately save after getting to a good cover where you won't have to suffer through this again. You just wasted 5 minutes or more trying to get out of one bit of space in the game, in an FPS.

5. I didn't know about this site until you mentioned it here, but to be honest, I think you can get enough information from the forums here or the game's page on GOG itself.

HIB Question: The only game I wanted from the Bundle is Dear Esther, and since I won it on Steamgifts yesterday (thanks Lady Luck and the giver!), There is no point for me to get it. In fact, I can't get it anyway, since I don't own a credit/bank card.
Réunion Bump
Thanks, I'd be interested in a GOG game.
1. I have a lot of those experiences, I'm not all that good at FPS. XD (good enough to finish most of them though)

2. Don't really have any input on this one.

3. Nope.

4. Wizardry because I've wanted to try the original series since the japanese developed PS2 game. I can't say any new releases have excited me so I'll name another classic, Carmageddon was pretty sweet.

5. Yes, and too much other stuff to do with my time. I know I wouldn't keep up with it.
I'm only visiting this thread to give you +1 rep .

As I said elsewhere : got sun on my skin today (first time in a long while). My metabolism is fucked up for the day.

Thank you all for the answers so far, quite an interesting read :)
Also updated the list up to this point (yes, I use my posts as reminders :P), so do check to see if I have you in the wrong list or if I have forgotten you.
I'll enter for the gog. Thank you.

The classic release I'm most excited about was Wizardry 8. It's what I'm going to use the voucher on if I win it. And as far as new releases go, Eador is pretty cool and I'd like to get Masters of the Broken World sometime down the road once the release woes are ironed out with patches.

And I have an account on the GOG wiki, but it's mainly just to keep track of my shelf and wishlist. Don't really know much about pc gaming so I can't really contribute much to it.

Thanks JMich for the giveaway, please count me in for 9.99 GOG.

1) When I play a game I really like to explore every detail and in FPS I "forget" that there are enemies, then I always get killed at my back while I am looking at some minor detail.
