    Editor's Note Escapist Magazine Volume 2: Issue 0

    Welcome back! I've referred people to the "cheating my way through college" several times when I've had to explain why I cheat in single player games. Escapist, for me, has been a weird site - it's the site where a lot of talented people started off and were more or less let go (with various...

    At this point I'm not sure if bioware will be around in 2019..

    Mistake #1: asking fans what they want.

    Prey 2 May Not be Dead After All

    The first one had some interesting gameplay, some horrible writing and strange design decisions, like "let's make the player character a whiny person who nobody wants to be".

    Romero and Carmack Suspend Blackroom Kickstarter Campaign

    My guess is that they expected to raise the $700k in a couple of days and their actual budget is much higher.. since this didn't happen, they're retreating, regrouping and trying another angle of attack. Which is fine.

    John Romero and Adrian Carmack Officially Announce New FPS

    If nothing else, Romero is good at one thing, and that's marketing himself. After my career and his made a brief near-miss, I followed his PR output for a while, and he did stuff like this: Context: Consider yourself working on a game, and then the higher-ups go and hire a rockstar who...

    International Prices for HTC and Valve's Vive Announced

    Well.. there's the usual matter of whether prices include tax or not - US prices generally don't, while euro prices generally do. No idea whether this is the case here.

    Can Your Computer Run SteamVR? Find Out With Portal-Themed Testing

    Didn't expect it to be. It isn't. What surprised me is that my 6 year old core i7 is apparently still "good enough". Graphics card less so.

    MacGyver to Be Rebooted as Television Show, Then Movie

    A new Macgyver would work fine.. as long as the mythbusters team was behind the scenes.

    EA is "on a Journey" to Regain PC Gamer Trust

    That would require me to install origin, and.. I won't install origin. Instead, I'll just make a head canon where they never made a third mass effect, which, based on some comments I've read of it, is probably a better ending to the saga.

    EA is "on a Journey" to Regain PC Gamer Trust

    Reads topic. Checks steam. Mass effect 3 still not in steam. Life goes on.

    Oculus Thrift

    Well.. probably closer to a thousand dollars with tax, shipping and customs included, if you happen to live in Europe. Not an impossible price to pay for a good (gaming) monitor, with stereo 3d and headtracking and stuff.. But it's not a monitor most people would use to browse the net, so...
