  1. John Deiley, creator of the talking deathclaws, explains their background and puts Chris Avellone on notice

    I'm not opposed to the idea, but the way it's handled in the game, allowing you to basically become buddies with them and even have one as a companion, was frustrating. I was intrigued by the one guy who wanted to kill them because he recognized them as an existential threat despite how benign...

  2. Incline Making an 80s themed RPG

    I remember my nephew had a 1980s-themed table top RPG he played for a bit. You could create a team of ninjas, cyborgs, hard-boiled cops, mercenaries, etc., and go on adventures involving drug wars, third world dictators, corporate espionage, and Cold War spy stuff. I wish I noted the name of it...

  3. Emulation central - recommendations in 1st post

    Interesting development in N64 emulation: static recompilation of roms, starting with Majora's Mask. I can't claim to understand it how it works, something about instantly converting the rom to an .exe, but I did download it and play it for a short while and it was really impressive in terms of...

  4. Cain on Games - Tim Cain's new YouTube channel

    I wonder if this was a Vaudeville thing, since a lot of classic cartoons and comedy films recycled old gags from those live performances.

  5. Avowed/Pillars of Eternity

    Pillars felt to me like Obsidian went out of their way to create as boring a fantasy setting as they possibly could. I don't understand it. Did they get some advice that creative settings don't sell and they were so desperate for a hit that they blanded it up to their best ability?

  6. Good gaming channels on Youtube?

    A lot of this is particular to modern, post-1980s Batman. Previous to that, Batman killing the Joker was never a debate because the Joker wasn't a mass serial killer (nor was any other Batman villain), just a sort of belligerent prankster, and the tone was more in line with classical...

  7. Fallout Playing Fallout 1 for the first time

    This is how I read it. What the tribals think of as magic could very well be signs of further mutation in some people resulting in psychic abilities and Hakunin is projecting himself to you with those abilities. Aside from that, Fallout 2 definitely feels like the team on the game testing the...

  8. Good gaming channels on Youtube?

    I seem to remember him crapping all over Stalker because the vanilla version was buggy and he was too stuck up to just install some patches.

  9. KickStarter Free Stars: Children of Infinity - upcoming Star Control 2 sequel from Fred Ford's Pistol Shrimp Games - Kickstarter Live

    I was going to say Floyd must surely be a reference to Planetfall.

  10. Cain on Games - Tim Cain's new YouTube channel

    That reminds me of Abrams's Superman script that didn't get made, in which Krypton never exploded, Jor-El is its king, Superman is the subject of a prophecy, and Lex Luthor is a CIA agent who turns out to be an undercover Kryptonian working for the bad guys who gets into a Matrix-style...

  11. KickStarter System Shock 1 Remake by Nightdive Studios

    I just want to know if Diego in the remake still has the audio log in which he says "investigate my butt!"?

  12. Cain on Games - Tim Cain's new YouTube channel

    Tim is a corporation's dream of an IP creator. Happy to carry water for whoever buys it out later, sticks up for later writers' choices, never demands credit or royalties. Just happy to be associated with it.

  13. Good gaming channels on Youtube?

    This guy might have come up before. I forget. He reviews classic space games. His voice kind of reminds me of Pete Puma.

  14. Incline Okay let's be real here... Which games can never be RPGs?

    "In Pac-Man, you play the role of Pac-Man, a giant yellow mouth that consumes everything in his path as he's chased by four ghosts..."

  15. Why is game development so ineffective?

    Declining work ethic is a real thing. I don't work in computers, but the young employees coming in are lazy as hell. And I'm saying that as a classic "just do the bare minimum" lazy guy, but at least I do the bare minimum. These kids are doing well below that and then whining about having too...
