Err... you mean you beat the first episode of SBCGFAP. There's five of 'em.

Err... you mean you beat the first episode of SBCG4AP. There's five of 'em.

well,yes,but how did you know it wasnt the second episode?

EDIT:and,its 4AP.Like strong bad edits his emails:

and...DELETED!

Get the Incredible Machine. Please. PLEASE. Don't let this horrific rendition fool you! Armadillo Run, Crazy Machines, MR. PHYSICS, ALL OF THESE ARE TERRIBLE CLONES.

Buy The Incredible Machine, if you want to see real fun. Or even better, "The Incredible Machine: Even More Contraptions!".

I have TIM, and Even More Contraptions. Yes, they're amazing. I'm just curious to know if there can be such a thing more awesome in its catergory.

Crazy Machines is a bit unnerving. It's a little slow, counter-intuitive and more like a bad physics lesson than a puzzle game. Also, get The Professor out of this game forever.

However, I hold onto my faith of Armadillo Run. It is NOT a clone of TIM - it's got completely different strategies on how to get an armadillo to roll, fly, get scooped up, get rebounded, get dragged, or fall through breaking steel into a blue space. It's much more minimalistic, but the thing is to use every part until they break. You never get that sense in anything else, not even TIM or Lemmings.

No one knows what Mr. Physics is like. It could be like Mercury Meltdown Revolution - greatly innovative, but sadly lacking. Or it could be another Crazy Machines.
It could also be the next Incredible Machine. So don't be so pessimistic.

I bet the videos didn't work that way :p

[minute55]

I bet the videos didn't work that way :p

um,all i seen was the ocean and team 17 logo,it is not united,just the worms 1 demo.

P.S:I started using dosbox,for sound.I found a way to run it without using stupid commands.I dragged the WRMS file to the dosbox icon,and it ran with music.The only minor drawback is that i have to hit the windows button,click the x button,to exit dosbox.If i click the exit to dos option in the game,it well,um...actually exits to dos.If you know what i mean.

[SupSuper]

You can type "exit" on the command line or press Ctrl+F9 to quit DOSBox.

FallOut 3 > Life.


seriously. never played the first 2, but if this isn't a worthy predecessor I would love to see what IS.

Indeed.
This game looks like the RPG/FPS mix that I'm always looking for.
Hell, this game might even compete with Deus Ex. :eek:

[Akuryou13]

it really is awesome how WELL they mixed the two genres. you've really gotta be both a good min/max RPG player as well as a good aim in terms of FPS gameplay. the weapons are perfect for it, too. environments as well. can't wait to see how the story line goes.....if only I could further the story line faster :p

[minute55]

who wishes that they would bring back earthworm jim?

[Plasma]

who wishes that they would bring back earthworm jim?
Depends on whether it's 2D or 3D.

[robowurmz]

I think game developers should do what they did with Megaman 9; that is, new game, new levels, same style of play with the original graphics.

Sonic games could have events like earthquakes in levels and so on, things like that, because nobody said you had to keep the level format the same. Deforming terrain perhaps, from Dr. Robotnik's cannon thingy exploding up all over.

Earthworm Jim would be great if they did that: good, old graphics that we know and love, but with new levels and new things!

[Akuryou13]

That IGN Wii thing really makes it look like EJ4 is a Wii game. Details such as what platform it'll be on haven't been released.

[Akuryou13]

That IGN Wii thing really makes it look like EJ4 is a Wii game. Details such as what platform it'll be on haven't been released.I think it's sort of just a Nintendo thing. nintendo consoles are going to be the best place to release a re-visit of an old series as they're the only company who was around in those days. not saying that EWJ wouldn't work on 360 or PS3, just that Nintendo is more associated with those sorts of classic games, so people kinda assume that's where it'd be released.

Well, I also played once on the sega Ge... Nevermind.

Anyways, gives the impression, yeah... And also, with the Wii being the least powerful console, 2D old school games would be perfect...

It's not that it's associated with classic games, it's that it's associated with cartoony games, which accounts for most old school games.
Last generation, with the PS/2, you'd say Earth Worm Jim 3D would definetly be coming out for the PS2, more likely to be mutliplataform. Nowadays, you just don't see Interplay pulling out an Earth Worm Jim 3D that doesn't look retarded on a PS3.

either way it's just a logical assumption that EWJ would end up on the Wii. the Wii just suits that sort of thing more than the others and the market on the Wii is more along the same lines as the market for EWJ I believe as well.

[minute55]

man...i hope it is for the wii!and 2D!honestly,i never played 3D,but with the complaints,they should at least make a decent camera!it probably will be for the wii,but if its for the psp,crap...mine broke.But,as long as there is cow launching,i'll be more than happy.

EDIT:right...i know i really extagerated.but,hey...EARTHWORM JIM!what is next,bubsy?(please no)

in this fight you must destroy the evil replacement earth that has come to take the place of the normal earth. by doing so you win the game. to get to this boss you must first defeat deadly opponents, such as a ninja-spewing secret agent or your friend who explodes evil blood to gain more power....or something...

I don't know what the hell was on my mind to think Plasma would change the link on minute's post, for any reason. Seriously, I never saw the bright text, or the link in it.

I just feel TOO MUCH STUPID, dammit :(

aaaand going back ontopic tried Little Big Planet on a friend's house. 2 player.

BEST. GAME. EVER. And we only tried the editor for a bit, before leaving... Making a sphere bomb of about the size of half the entire stage was simply awesome. It fell over me and obliterated me :p

What I need to try, though, is getting a fast key clicker program or something, and attempt to kill with those useless weapons... I once managed to take away 1/4 like that, before going up again :p

Im not a huge fan of lemmings, so havent downloaded it. Still, it being a PSN game shouldnt mean major ommisions are to be expected...

[.JeT]

Wow. Such a blowing experience from the L4D demo. I can't wait for the full version, but still... It can run on a semi-bad computer, amazing graphics still, and all that stuff. But holy hell. It is hectic at times, it is scary, and sometimes just action!

The part I got really scared about was walking into a room with a girl sobbing and crying.. It made me feel uneasy, and there sat a "Witch", crying.. I shot it in the head, but that just made it worse.

Damnit. Why does it have to take so many daaayss?!!

Actually it is the new version (that uses Flash 10) that doesn't roll to the credits, the Flash 9 version does however, work fine.

[franpa]

I just did a clean install of flash (Download installer + manually extract the files with 7zip, then overwrite current ones) and now the Flash 10 version finishes correctly :) so it was a dodge update to v10 that was stopping the game from working right.

yup...

[Akuryou13]

Pity, I hope that's solved by the time the demo goes public.it's just a lack of a master server or possibly a lack of enough server space. either way the lag comes from people hosting the games themselves.

I've played Tetris Atari. what you don't seem to understand is I didn't say that tetris wasn't a good game. that'd be like saying pac man isn't a good game. it just isn't appealing compared to games with such deep and engrossing story lines and gameplay experiences that we have today.

read what I say, not what you think i'm saying. sheesh.

[Metal Alex]

I've played tetris, and sometimes play again from time to time... When I remember it. It's just that it doesn't have depth. I mean, do some lines, and you've seen all the game. And even though of that, it's still fun. Specialy a VS match.

Oh I've played that. It's awesome.

Tetris is awesome, but it's become more of a game you play when you are not in a position to play other games. Say, on the bus with a portable device, or when you're at work and you don't have any games on your work pc, etc.
Or when you feel nostalgic, or feel bored of the games you currently have.

[minute55]

I find the more updated versions awesome with the vs mode much more so than the old versions.

the gameboy version had 2-player.

[Metal Alex]

the gameboy version had 2-player.

And I got to play it :D

It was basically the same thing: Do one line, nothing happens, do 2, send one, do 3, send 2, and doing 4 brings 4 up for them.

So whoever survived won... Or who reached 30 lines first, I think. However, you needed 2 game boys and two games for that, at the time... And the Cable :(

[robowurmz]

Mirror's Edge demo is awesome.

Really really awesome, and happily, I don't seem to suffer from Simulation Sickness like some other people I know do. I never got disorientated or dizzy while playing.

Also, what's more is the fun glitch you can exploit to play the tutorial level in any way you like.

[*Splinter*]

I found the mirror's edge demo a little... underwhelming... I am yet to be convinced that what they've done is particlarly new or interesting...

[Shadowmoon]

I'll try and get Mirror's edge when i get my X360. I've just had a look at it now. It looks good.

I'm getting an X360 for christmas, along with the Orange Box and Call of Duty 5 World at War. From what i've seen everyone seems to love Portal, Half Life, and TF 2, so i'm convinced I'll definitely love the Orange Box.

And soon, Sonic Unleashed is released. I just hope it's good.

[Plasma]

You're much better off getting the Orange Box for PC rather than 360. Unless you've got a really crappy PC.

and soon, sonic unleashed is released. I just hope it's good.
BWAHAHAHAH! Yeah right! Aside from the continuing trend that Sonic games get worse per sequel, there's also the fact that half of the game is just Devil May Cry minus guns instead of a regular Sonic game mode.
Sonic and the Black Knight might be good though. As Sonic and the Secret Rings had a good game concept that allowed for Sonic's speed, but could've been executed better. Oh, and by the looks of trailers, the whole sword thing is a sort of red herring, in that it's not really different from regular Sonic moves.

Mirror's Edge is amazing and it comes out next Monday :D Gears of War 2 I haven't played yet (Haven't played the first one either, but I've watched many of time) Portal Still Alive is out on the X360 shop I think, and the second Portal comes out next year doesn't it? Fallout 3 is supposed to be Epic; how can you not enjoy shooting someone with Teddy Bears?

easily. no one plays tetris anymore. it's not that interesting compared to the deep and enthralling games of today.I don't play it that much any more, but I still think about playing it. I even themed my first ever maths lesson "starter" around it (looking at the symmetries of the various tetris blocks). And when I asked at the start which kids had played or at least heard of Tetris, most raised their hands. So it's been passed on to the new generation :).

I'm not going to rush out and buy those so quickly. Probably Spring i'll get GTA, and Gears of War and 2.

Unless you've got a really crappy PC.

Yes, i have. It can't play any good PC games at all.

Sonic and the Secret rings is probably one of the most enjoyable 3D sonic games i've played, hopefully The dark night is just as good, or much better.

Sonic Unleashed looks far better than Sonic and the Black Night. Black Night looks almost identical to Secret Rings which i personally hated.

[SupSuper]

But Sonic Unleashed even had the developer that played in the exclusive previews constantly falling down pits.

'Woo' Im blowing £150 on the new guitar hero this week... on top of that I also have to get Little Big Planet, Motorstorm 2, Resistance 2 and (I think) another which I've forgotten...

Nothing for ages, then 5 games in a month... I cannot afford this kind of lunacy :p

EDIT: The 5th was mirror's edge... maybe Ill get it cheap when Im done with the rest, maybe I wont bother at all

I don't know what it's like for Spain, but that's not how it works here.

Unless you're talking about 360 or PS3 games. Those are usually an extra €10/20
Or you're talking about older games, where PC ones are usually cheaper.

But for modern Wii games, they're the same price!

But for modern Wii games, they're the same price!not many games for both wii and PC and none of them good. €10/20 is a fair amount compared to €30-40 games. unless the games are disproportionately high in europe compared to america, and even then $20 is a good bit to tack on to the $50 for normal games.

[Metal Alex]

The Wii needs new better games. Also, I kinda liked the Sonic one on the Wii. It was just not an average sonic game. I'd look into the new one, but I have the first one still :p

Seeing Little Big Planet makes me cry... The only game that seems worth the PS3's cost... But it's only that one :p

[*Splinter*]

Only one game thats worth £400? Jeez PS3 games must really suck... Like most people I expect every single game I buy to be worth at least £500...

[Metal Alex]

Just saying that there's no other *exclusive* game I'd buy on the PS3. But hey, that's just me.

[Plasma]

Ah. Turns out I think I was a bit misinformed about Sonic and the Black Knight. Apparently, it's not a rail-set game at all, and is probably going to be more like Sonic Unleashed, but with a sword, and no slow werewolf form.

Okay, so I'm betting it's very likely to suck again. Especially with the trio of playable characters thing in again.

[yakuza]

Just saying that there's no other *exclusive* game I'd buy on the PS3. But hey, that's just me.

That's just you indeed, and since you don't provide with any reasoning as to why you wouldn't buy some of the (even if few) exclusive and awesome PS3 games then your post is pretty much a space filler.

I'm sure it has absolutely nothing to do with said exclusive awesome games not appealing to him. Nope. And totally not assumable either.

Shove your sarcasm wherever it fits you idiot, I never said it had nothing to do with his opinion. Learn to read. I said that a random Joe's opinion (and we're all random Joe's) on why something widely considered good but he considers bad is only worth stating if there's reason given. The only people that can get away with "I like it because I do", are Al-Gore and a couple of others. So get a gripe and stop teasing me.

[yakuza]

So, anyone else wants to comment or pseudomoan on my post stating that no one cares about "It's crap because I don't like it" opinions on the internet?

[Plasma]

I wanna pseudomoan again!

The thing is that he didn't say 'it' was crap (it being any non-LBP PS3 exclusive game). He said he wouldn't buy it. He also said, and I quote, "But that's just me".

Im not actually picking a side here (could anyone care less about this ****?) but just pointing out he said he wouldnt buy the PS3 for it, rather than the game itself (assuming he had a PS3 already, presumably).
I only commented because I thought deciding whether you buy a system based on a single release was a tad silly.

[robowurmz]

I really want to get Cortex Command. Build 22 is just awesome. The AI is so much better, and I've discovered a way to make it run faster on my machine, too. Although, that means the physics are a teeny bit innacurate.

[Metal Alex]

My point was: I don't feel like buying most of the exclusive stuff for the PS3. Never said they were crap. Get all defensive if you want, but that's just you getting paranoid. If I want the non-exclusive ones, I'll get them for PC, or any other thing. The only game I'd mark as a "need-to-have" game is LBP.

Anyone thinking this is ridiculous can go post in a farm :p

[yakuza]

Just saying that there's no other *exclusive* game I'd buy on the PS3

So then, what other reason than not liking the games would you give us for not buying them?

[Metal Alex]

So then, what other reason than not liking the games would you give us for not buying them?

Like... not having as much fun? Or having not enough money to buy a game each week? Or thinking that games don't have to be realistic to be fun? Or finding simple PC games more enjoyable than most complex-super realistic stuff?

OR just maybe it's a matter of being able to choose what I want to buy. And about that, I don't need to give any reasons.

So ultimately you don't like the exclusive titles for the PS3.

Hence my point, that if you don't exactly tell us why you don't like MGS4 (per example) then your opinion doesn't really give us anything relevant.

Take it easy, I'm not judging your taste. But next time, be more clear, saying there's no exclusive title you'd buy on the PS3 doesn't really tell us you think they're expensive or whatever, it tells us that if you had a PS3 you wouldn't buy them for some reason, or that if they came out for other plataforms you wouldn't buy them either. Which really, it's a silly thing to say unless you have some really weird reasons.

[Metal Alex]

The only thing I don't understand is why people argue about this stuff. Sure, you like it... And a lot more do. I like Nintendo games... If they are good. But it's simply my style. Nothing bad with that. I'm probably the weird one here. If I ever defend them, it's because people go directly hating, and I just wanna say that some are good tries.

I personally tried some PS3 games on a friend's house... Mainly Motor Storm (A great game, yeah, I have to admit, but I found more entertaining F-Zero on the Game Cube), Virtua Fighter, which looked to me like any other average fighting game, only prettier, and some tennis game, same as last one.

Also, I'm not fond of console FPS mainly because of the control stick aiming. Tried one of those on the PS3, too. The Wii had the wiimote, yeah, but the mouse beats both for me.

I mean, that's my opinion in general, and it's as valid as yours, Paul.Power's, Plasma's, or even minute55's. (No hard feelings there ;)) And won't try to modify yours.

Unless it implies killing babies. THEN I'll go after you, and make you to kindly stop.

You were unlucky with the games you got to play I'd say. Really. I'd too play F-Zero or Mario Kart before Motor Storm.

also, yakuza, you're being a pain. you're making no point other than the fact that you're making a point. no one cares. get over yourself. sheesh.

Wooohoooo! Took a while, but it eventually downloaded!

Played through the singleplayer, fantastic :D Not ventured online yet, so I'll wait and see if the lag problem has been solved by tomorrow.

And since I'm not an idiot, I'm downloading it already.

I'm still uncertain whether to buy it on the 360 or for my PC...
I mean, I would surely prefer it with a mouse and keyboard, but it looks a lot better on my 360 that it can look on my pc. :P
And having played the demo on the 360, it's not too bad using a controller.

[franpa]

can't you just hook a mouse + keyboard up to your 360 and use them to play? I have no clue why it has taken so long for consoles to support such widely used and praised input devices.

You can type and navigate menus with a USB keyboard on a 360, I know that much because I do it.

Not possible. (Well, there is a device that lets you do that, but it only emulates a controller with a mouse and keyboard, this causes the mouse movement to be rather restricted)

The reason for this, allegedly, is that they think this would unbalance the game for people using only a controller.

Actually, he's entirely on-topic. This being a thread about talking about video games, he's allowed to bring up the topic of Metal Slug.

Granted, it can get rather annoying if the person doesn't talk much about the topic when he does so, but still.

[Shadowmoon]

Basically I meant if he's going to continue saying bomberman is fun! or Metal Slug is hard, he'll get laughed at, so he should stop doing that.

I never said it was wrong for him to change the subject.

I fear Shadowmoon has, in Minute55, found his own Shadowmoon to mock. And in doing so, he's trying to become Me. Only he's not doing it very well. Shadsy, when I call you out on your stupidity, you're usually actually being stupid. On this occasion Minute55 (who, I will concede, usually usually displays Wayans Brothers levels of stupidity) was simply saying "This is a game I play, and it is difficult."

Granted, the game Minute is referring to is Metal Slug, a game designed with the specific intent of being fun enough to want to keep playing but difficult enough for you to want to continue putting your money into the arcade cabinet. Nevertheless, if you want to bring everyone's attention to someone's moronitude, you have to do it properly.

I'm not going to give you a Shadowmoon Award. I will instead give you this trophy with a statuette of a baby on it. I forget why.

seriously, video game thread or not, saying "bomberman is fun" and "metal slug is hard" is just plain old stupid. if you have something to add to the conversation then please, by all means, add to the conversation. if you don't have anything to say then just don't post. Forum Ettiquette 101. obviously minute has nothing to say but posted anyway. doing so leaves him completely open to being mocked, regardless of the quality of the mock.

I mean, really. shadowmoon completely had a point in his post. there's no reason to post at all unless you have something interesting to say, even if the thread IS a generic and open-ended thread.

Just tried the Dragonball Z: Burst Limit demo on X360;
Hilarious. It's just the way it's so ham-acted all the time, it's like a permanent capslock.

So the New Xbox Experience is out. Best thing about this update is that I can now install my games to the hard drive, which makes the Xbox a lot less noisier during play.
Also, it now features the ability to create an avatar for yourself, which is pretty much Nintendo's Mii with less customization, but more polygons(and actual clothing detail :P). You can even (allegedly) use this avatar with some of the live arcade games. And you can take a picture of it to use as your gamer picture.
It also features a new visual style for the menus, which I'm ambivalent towards, and they finally decided to allow you to browse games by letters instead of being forced to scroll trough all of them to find the one you want.

[Kelster23]

I like these ones better than the Mii... they don't scare the crap out of me D:

[robowurmz]

A Kingdom for Kiflings lets you use your avatar as an in-game character. Pretty cool.

And now we get the complaints about stealing ideas from Nintendo again...been there, done that. I think it helps that they waited a while, so the theft is obvious but it's more of a "alright, you win. your idea was good. we may as well copy it" sort of how using motion controls next generation wouldn't be that big a deal.

Well, nobody I know has had a RROD so far. I once got one in 2007, but I fixed it by turning on the console by pressing the tray open button. Don't ask me, but it worked.

I think people aren't taking proper care of the unit anyway; I clean dust out from mine at least 8 times a year. It builds up quickly you know.

[MrBunsy]

Arguably dust building up so quickly is a design flaw.

Anyway, I GOT LEFT 4 DEAD IN THE POST TODAY. Yey.

[super_frea]

Left 4 Dead is awesome!

Left 4 Dead is awesome!this .

Sonic Unleashed Review (http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/931/931596p1.html)

Just read the whole thing just now. It seems good overall. The only real thing that was criticized in the review was the werehog, which doesn't sound so good at all.

They said the levels look great, though.

I'll definitely get it after after christmas.

Oh, and the music sounds great.

Apparently, it's unanimous that the night mode sucks (no surprise!). Whether the day mode is actually good or not is to be seen.

Also, I'd like to know if the night mode genuinely sucks or just isn't Sonic-like.

From what I hear, the night mode is probably somewhere along the line of games like Kung Fu Panda, etc, which has some platforming to it but a lot of boring useless brawling with weak enemies. It's not horribly bad but it's boring I suppose.

As for the day mode, I've heard it's fantastic. Of course I can't properly back that up, but the truth will eventually be out.

[minute55]

Indeed.It switches from 2d to 3d.But i think the 3D bits may work.

and,i'm not trying to change the subject with random posts,but i need to post this:

to:"with your stupid posts." would really spread through the forum.

You were talking about Sonic Unleashed? can you tell me what your whole post was supposed to mean? I didn't understand it at all.

That the day section switches between day and night.

[Plasma]

That the day section switches between day and night.
..........what?
The day section does not switch between day and night. The day section stays as being at day.

[Shadowmoon]

That the day section switches between day and night.

There are some levels in the day, and some in the night. How stupid is that!?

[minute55]

oops!i mean 3d and 2d.

[Akuryou13]

oops!i mean 3d and 2d.have you recently switched your brain off or do you just do so before posting?

your previous post with the sam & max image may have intended to be about sonic, and if you would have just stopped when the sonic-related bits stopped you would have been fine. unfortunately, you kept going with some stupid sam & max reference that made absolutely no damn sense at all. you said yourself that you only needed to post the sonic part, so WHY THE HELL DID YOU KEEP GOING?! seriously. if you don't know how to post, then just don't.

[Metal Alex]

I'm dying a bit inside...

Reading this actually made me laugh rather loudly :cool:

There's a clip that shows a bit of werehog parts here (http://uk.wii.ign.com/dor/objects/14242720/sonic-unleashed/videos/su_ShamarWiiTrailer_102408.html).

It seems okay. I don't think i'll enjoy the werehog parts, but at least the non werehog parts make up for it.

[Paul.Power]

I'm still worried about the day sections. They still look too linear compared with classic Sonic. Speed means little without a) control b) momentum c) contrasts d) fairness e) genuine usefulness. Apparently the game is fairer in its challenges than other 3D Sonic games, but it still looks very scripted (still a whole bunch of dash panels) and "floaty".

apparently the day levels have a lot of branching paths. a lot of the time messing up a scripted part or a jump will put you on an alternate path.

Also, the Wii/PS2 version is pants. Compared to the 360/PS3 version it has Shorter levels with a lot less going on, Two entire zones MIA, and an approximate 1:3 day to night level ratio.

And the werehog controls are reportedly a lot worse than the HD versions.

[SupSuper]

But it has no obligatory medals and unlockables.

[robowurmz]

And still has an annoying sidekick type. Hello, Navi's re-incarnation.

[kikumbob]

Playing Sonic Unleashed is like driving a Ferrari through stop and go traffic, where brief moments of exhilaration are cut short by a series of red lights. Says it all, really.

Oh right, so is that basically Half-Life 1 remade by modding the Half-Life 2 engine?

[MtlAngelus]

Oh right, so is that basically Half-Life 1 remade by modding the Half-Life 2 engine?

Yup. But it's remade from scratch basically, and the maps have been vastly improved from the originals, to add realism.

[Alien King]

I vaguely remember Half-Life. I appreciated the fact it was a good game, but I never seemed to enjoy it as much. Neither did my Dad, so that's a possible reason why it disappeared.
I bought the Orange box a while ago and loaded up HL2. I then spent an hour trying to work out how it followed on from the original. I gave up and looked at the Wikipedia.

I might try giving it all another go and perhaps I'll then be more interested in this.

[SupSuper]

Oh right, so is that basically Half-Life 1 remade by modding the Half-Life 2 engine?The Orange Box engine actually. (an improvement over the original Half-Life 2 engine)

[Alien King]

The Orange Box engine actually. (an improvement over the original Half-Life 2 engine)

I thought they all used the same Source engine.
And even if they did modify it a bit, it couldn't have been by much.

[Metal Alex]

Uhm... I guess portals must be part of the stuff added.

I wonder if they make those portals like... in portal.

[MtlAngelus]

I thought they all used the same Source engine.
And even if they did modify it a bit, it couldn't have been by much.
The orange box used an updated source engine that has several additions. Mostly better particle effects, some lighting effects I think, and the dynamic shadows you see when using the flashlight in Episode 2.

Here's a list of improvements actually:
