Avoozl Posted December 17, 2013 I think it was taken down once or before BFG edition was released. 0 Share this post Link to post

Reisal Posted January 1, 2014 Let's not forget the numerous game walkthrough websites which have the code written down on it. 0 Share this post Link to post
Quasar Posted January 2, 2014 I know. Where are we gonna order our Martian Buddy L'il Baklava Ovens now? Haven't you ever just stopped and thought to yourself, "man I could really go for some scrumptious baklava"? Who's your buddy? MARTIAN BUDDY! 0 Share this post Link to post
geo Posted January 7, 2014 I used to play with two computers, one to play the game and the other with Martian Buddy. Let's make an immerse game then have people go to a website outside of the game. 0 Share this post Link to post
Clonehunter Posted January 7, 2014 It's down? But I never got all that clone porn I ordered. (Wait, there was a martianbuddy.com in actuality?) 0 Share this post Link to post

bcwood16 Posted January 7, 2014 This is sad :( Maybe they couldn't effort the domain name any longer....doubtful! lol 0 Share this post Link to post
Shaviro Posted January 7, 2014 I'm betting he's still around somewhere :D From what I see on archive.org, the site was taken down on november 2012. 0 Share this post Link to post
Phml Posted January 7, 2014 I used to play with two computers, one to play the game and the other with Martian Buddy. Let's make an immerse game then have people go to a website outside of the game. Yeah, it was pretty stupid esp. at a time when people were unlikely to have an Internet enabled phone or portable device next to them. I never checked the website because fuck alt-tabbing. 0 Share this post Link to post
Touchdown Posted January 7, 2014 I thought it was pretty cool there was an actual website for that. 0 Share this post Link to post
Shaviro Posted January 7, 2014 I didn't mind it so much, but why didn't they just create a pseudo website for the guis? Just three or four options where one of them is martianbuddy.com. This would send you hunting for computers in the level rather than being pulled out of the experience. 0 Share this post Link to post

It also greatly depended on computer hardware, what one may be able to do may be disastrous for another. Should always make sure you save before trying such a thing.....thats if you can....Bioshock Infinite! Sorry going off topic a moment, whats up with the save system on that game! Just got it in Steam Sales and OMG the save system is just terrible, basically it uses check points only and they are very very very far apart! I often play for a quick 20 maybe 30 min session then quit. When I load back up I have lost most of that progress, no quick saves in about 35 to 40 mins a time. I have played hours and hours of this game and getting bored as I have to re-play large parts over and over and actually I'm only 2 hours in.....sorry but I do have a life and don't plan to play for hours at a time......its totally ruined the otherwise pretty decent game so far. One level I played 3 times getting a little further each time before having to quit. My last save point was just 2 seconds around the corner from when I last quit the last time.....frustrating! 0 Share this post Link to post

bcwood16 Posted January 7, 2014 codeslicer said:get it for console! save any time! Na, I'm pretty sure its because of console that the save system is messed up in the first place. Its exactly the same on console, don't see how that would make a difference apart from longer loading times, lower resolutions and less sharp textures :( Anyway.... 0 Share this post Link to post
