Yeah, I know. Much like every classic game, this one had some active fans making unofficial patches. Mostly graphical updates (custom resolutions).

.....then you're blind? the colors are much sharper on the HD one, as are the models and textures. everything looks WAY clearer.

And of course, I completely forgot to redeem it in time.

What

Maybe you find that because one of the screenies is smaller making the textures look less pixelated

There is absolutely no difference

To put it bluntly, the problem with that kind of name is that it looks ridiculous. "Insanity" is a very overused name, spelling it differently gets the same reaction from spelling any word wrong, and I presume I don't have to tell you how bad using wrong characters in a name (aka: using capitals where there shouldn't be, or replacing letters with characters that look like letters) makes you look.

Essentially, it makes you look like you wanted to have a unique and special name, but lacked even the most remote amount of creative ability to be able to come up with a name that's in any way meaningful.


And now that I have formally explained why that name is bad, I now feel justified in mocking you about it, mister xxxShAdWmOoNxxx

There's a... slight difference in colours between the two pictures, but it's very slight. When you realise that the HD pic just has a higher contrast all-around, it's hard to say how much of it has actually changed in-game.

That being said, I have literally no idea what he meant by the models and textures being sharper.

textures looks better by my eye. Models look sharper due to the higher contrast.

[franpa]

The bird silhouettes in the distance look different in the HD one, that's pretty much the biggest difference I can see between the 2 pictures.

[farazparsa]

Looks like they didn't ever bother to upscale the HUD elements and just scaled the SD ones up. Dat score counter.

Lol sorry I've joined a clan with 2 other people called nVaniitY and nDiizzY, didn't know it weren't allowed.

You rarely see names with insanity, and most names on xbox don't mean anything. FearCrads, Zerkaa, and ZzirGrizz for example, 3 VERY known xbox players yet their names mean nothiing.

I think the lack of anti-aliasing probably has a large part to play in that.

I would like to take this moment to applaud you on your perfect response. I kind of want to screencap this and frame it

[Shadowmoon]

Oh dear. Just tell me what the hell he means

[MtlAngelus]

I just found this and I'm sharing it here because it's pretty damn awesome.

Oh right. Nobody in a lobby with me is going to diss my name anyway, because I'm a tank, so whatever.

True that, I give people bare slaps on CoD like a badman

Nostalgia! This makes me remember of all the anime shows I used to whatch when I was younger - and their awesome theme songs, the one of One Piece being my favourite (Yes, it's the German version, I prefer it to the original. Posting it anyway for reference.)

Tim Schafer reveals that he'd love to make a Psychonauts sequel, but publishers won't give it the time of day. All he needs is a few million dollars.

Step forward Markus 'Minecraft Millions' Presson.

If this comes to fruition I will never complain about Mojang's awful business practices again.

[Thurbo]

Awful business practices? What?

[philby4000]

Awful as in incompetent and penny-pinching.

Minecraft has sold millions of copies, obviously instead of contracting a profesional company to translate what little text the game has we'll crowd-source it for free!

*fails to check translations and releases development snapshot full of N-words*

'Indie charm' is also not a real reason to have a full development team.

With Erik Wolpaw gone though, there's the question of how good it'll actually be. Considering that the writing is pretty much the entirety of Psychonaut's popularity.

[MtlAngelus]

Well then, all they have to do is get Valve involved too.

[philby4000]

If there's one comapny you can trust to hit it out of the park with the writing it's DoubleFine.
