    Crowfunding Videogames Suggestions Thread.

    Just found out a friend of mine's actually doing a game kickstarter. Old-school adventure game. Trying for the "Gabriel Knight" end of the spectrum. Seems to be some of the connections he made at Funcom. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1894134280/lokis-exile-a-norse-noir-adventure-game/

    Escapist News Now: Elder Scrolls Online Progression

    I think... it could be fun for a romp around. I've almost never hit level cap in an MMO. But I've played the hell out of a great many low-to-mid areas. They all kinda... blur after a while. I don't care about class, or powers... as long as there's something in there that lets me get the job...

    Escapist News Now: Broken BF4 Drops EA Stock Price

    I suspect it comes down to being smart about money. Making add-ons that need work-arounds for major bugs... is expensive. The work-arounds will become new bugs when the originals get fixed so... really, it costs fewer man-hours. Except for those parts of production that can't be repurposed into...

    How can people like Amnesia?

    Having worked customer service, I find myself a bit jaded towards scary stories. I can really only appreciate the craftsmanship, and how well they perform. I tend to make a game out of predicting when and where things will pop up. The part of Amnesia that appealed to me was discovering the...

    Fudge Factor

    Sometimes, it is a lot of fun to embrace the randomness. I was running a bit of modern horror in the savage worlds system (mistake if you don't want camp) with an explanation of the weirdness being a selection process for the four horsemen of the apocalypse. I had 4 players, and you know where I...

    On Time Travel

    Lesse... time travel... I'm thinking the middle child of the Enchanter series in the glory days of Infocom. Still wish I could have managed "Frotz Grue" in a useful sense. But anyway, the time travel was brief as heck. You travelled about... 10 minutes in the past. Due entirely to a...

    Question of the Day, July 25, 2010

    It's *possible*. But realize, if the woman's at all attractive to the guy, he's going to have a few thoughts. There can be a number of ways to address that, but, it's a fact of life. Decent guys don't think with their crotch, but it still gets a vote and has a tendency to filibuster.

    Unskippable: Legendary

    The bit I was waiting for with the council of questionable numbering (which explains how they misplaced The Artifact in a way that it turns up on the ocean floor)... was "Okay, so this secret organization found and lost it in a way that has absolutely no bearing on the plot. Why did they bother...

    Poll: Would You Save This Person?

    Um. He's been drunk off his ass for all of his pubescence. Clearly this is not a fellow that's big on contributing to society. He is at least useful as an example of what not to do. Hell, he got this way from not quite dying from alcohol poisoning... so he was lucky enough to not OD in any one...
