    The Best and Worst of Fate Reforged

    Dark Deal isn't necessarily terrible. It's a wacky card that can work fantastically in niche decks, like Liliana's Caress decks (http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=205035). Or Underworld Dreams decks (Example...

    Why Video Games Need Their Own Programming Language

    Fun to see some more technical articles here. I agree with you, it's really getting to the point where the bottlenecks are everywhere but on the actual CPU and GPU. Just to be that guy, I want to nitpick and point out that modern C++ is fundamentally different from the C++ in the 80's. This...

    Rumor: Sorry Folks, There Will be no DirectX 12 Support For Windows 7 - Update

    This might be the final push that will make OpenGL fully relevant in games again. It's already highly relevant (see: everything Valve does these days). As an actual professional graphics programmer, I think OpenGL is perfectly fine for games on PC. Depending on hardware level you can get some...

    The Big Picture: Don't Censor Me!

    So the only thing I came out with after this episode is a strange sense of delight over the fact that you had a picture of a traditional swedish christmas dinner (Aka julbord. Sounds familiar? Think smorgasbord) @ 03:30. ... I have no regrets.

    Let's talk Borderlands and female characters

    I absolutely agree, but one step at a time, I guess? It WAS sort of supposed to be space-australia. I don't know how many non-caucasian looking people there are in australia, but I'm assuming quite a lot of the population is from SEA..... Yeah. And I think people are bringing up some strong...

    Let's talk Borderlands and female characters

    Can we just take a moment to appreciate how well Gearbox are representing females in their Borderlands games? I didn't play BL1, but both BL2 and BL:TPS are amazing at this. Everyone is an actual person with personal goals, motivations, flaws and personalities. They're people. Not constrained by...

    Borderlands Pre-Sequel bugs

    Not 100% sure if it's a bug, but I'm assuming it's an unexpected side effect of how the hover vehicle's hover works (I forgot what it's called). This is how you can jump really high with your hover bike. Like, jumping up on cliffs and getting past vehicle barriers-high. 1) While standing...

    8 Games That REALLY Are Educational And As Educational As They Are Fun

    Dwarf Fortress taught me quite a lot about geology and metallurgy. Who'd have thought there could be so many kinds of rocks...

    Unskippable: Way of the Samurai 3 - How To Rock A Bald Spot

    Maybe a good GPLP game, huh? *hint hint* ... Please. I really want more GPLPs. :( Edit: OH. They've moved to twitch. Lots of GPLPs there.

    Escapist News Now: Battlefield: Hardline Gameplay Trailer Leaked

    Sooooo. Battlefield: Counter-strike? Yeah okay. I guess trying to cash in on COD didn't work, time to try stealing from another franchise. What's next? Battlefield MOBA? Battlefield TF2? Please god say it's BF:TF2. Edit: It appears I was not the only one to draw this conclusion. :D

    The Language of Game Development

    I learned programming with C++. Well, it was more like C with classes, because my teacher(s) were clueless/shitty old basement coders. Think it took me about 5-6 years before I built up enough experience, knowledge and confidence to make my own (shitty) game engine in C++ with DirectX 11. It...

    Undead Awakening: Why Zombies are More Popular Than Ever

    OK, so this might sound very critical, but have I suddenly travelled back in time to the year 2008? Zombies haven't been new, fresh or popular since, like, the time when Left 4 Dead 1 or Plants versus Zombies were still fresh games that people played.

    Gearbox Sues Interceptor & 3D Realms Over Recently Revealed Duke Nukem Game

    Now, I don't know anything about copyrights/trademarks, but if I was in GB's shoes, I'd try to use this opportunity to sell the DN trademark to 3D Realms. Idk if that'd work, but after DNF, I don't think GB are in any hurry to try to make a new attempt at DN game. And let's be totally honest...

    DELETED

    150ish days played spread across different characters in WoW, spread over about 4½ years.... 1019 hours of TF2... about 700-800hours of enemy territory: quake wars. Don't think I want to know how many hours I've dumped into minecraft.... Probably a few hundred hours, easily. Yeah...
