    Tabletop Adventures: Episode 24 - Freezing to Death

    You know, it would be nice if the audience could see what the DM is referring to when he says "There are three of..... These things"

    Game Theory: Five Nights at Freddy's Scariest Monster is You!

    Even discounting games 2 and 3, there is nothing connecting the protagonist to any of the past events. His conclusion is a complete non-sequitur. He might as well have accused Ronald McDonald of being the murderer. It'd make about as much sense. What he's doing is using the small...

    Idea: Lets make a game

    Besides RPG Maker, there is also Click Team Fusion 2.5. Though it's pretty much limited to 2D it's still a pretty robust authorware package. You might also consider Game Maker or Construct, and if you decide to make a point & click adventure game there is Adventure Game Studio. @albino boo...

    The Big Picture: Je Suis Charlie

    I literally no nothing about the cartoonists or there agenda and I don't care. I don't care if they were the most unpleasant people writing the most hateful messages in the history of forever. You're still not allowed to kill them over it.

    What's so outrageous about Uplay?

    Not to mention that it's yet another digital distribution system that I have to install and run, clogging up my hard drive and probably my CPU cycles as well. All for a very small handful of games that I'm interested in. Having to remember all the different log ins is just a complete pain in the...

    Game Theory: Flappy Bird, PewDiePie, and Pasta Sauce

    No amount of trend setting endorsement would have saved the virtual boy. It was a broken mess...also, wasn't there a heap of buzz for it in gaming mags of the time? Umm... maybe if you're pulling them out of your ass you can. If someone pulls out a chart showing the sales of something going...

    Game Theory: Are Gamers Killing Video Games?

    I'd like to point out that much of Super Mario Brothers sales figures are greatly inflated due to it being bungled with the system for a long time. About people wanting to go with the safe bet. With stuff they already know. That's often attributed to new games being so expensive. Also I find...

    The Big Picture: Mr. Mario Goes To Hollywood

    Mario would be better of as a cartoon, Legend of Zelda could be turned into live action but it would probably be better of as a cartoon also. At least Hyrule has some semblance of internal logic. The Mushroom Kingdom has nun. Although.... they did make some recent Alice and OZ movies, but then...

    Looking for game sugestions

    Yea I love those... but I've also played the hell out of Elder Scrolls. Plus I was looking for something with more guns. ^_^

    Looking for game sugestions

    Hi, so I really like the gameplay of Bethesda's Fallout 3 but I really don't like the setting. I think it's really bland, I mean you see one burned out desert shack you've pretty much seen them all. I was wondering if anyone knew of any games that were kind of like Fallout but not set in...

    Star Wars: This Is How You Defend The Ridiculous Crossguard Lightsaber

    ...the emitters protrude out from the sides. This means that if the blade slides down it will cut through the emitters thus rendering the cross guard useless. Even if it some how deflects and hits the cross guard, the attacker could easily force it down the cross guard to slice the emitters. If...

    Escapist Podcast - Tabletop: 019: More Turning Video Games into Pen & Paper RPGs

    About the Assassins Creed table top idea. It occurs to me, that the Animus would give a pretty unique game mechanic in the form of de-syncing. The data in your DNA is clearly pretty spotty, which is why the Animus uses the simulation to fill in the blanks. What you see and hear in there is only...

    The Video Game Industry is Going Through Very Awkward Growing Pains

    Ok, I could be wrong about this but I think one of the main problems is less about tech and more about culture. In my, admittedly limited, experience most programing languages are fairly similar to one and other in how they work. In this day and age of platform APIs and pre-packaged engines, if...

    The 5 Dumbest Things In Transcendence

    About your point on R.I.F.T.. I can totally believe that a Luddite group would have no clear rational behind there hatred of technology. Because there opinions are irrational and fuelled by there emotions. Too bad about the small scope.
