That Unity video at the end, where he was running the city? Yea, that looked really choppy and bad. 30 fps can be accepted I guess, but it's never, ever better and that video showed precisely why. It looked bad.

How so? As far as this piece informed us they don't tend to buy tickets and resell them with a mark up. They buy tickets that are already bought and paid, meaning the convention got the money for the ticket, the original buyer is done using it and someone is willing to pay for a used badge...

I'm not so much talking about literacy in games and the surrounding institutions and traditions as I'm talking about cultural literacy. A lot of people on gaming forums will go ape berserk if you mention contemporary art or poetry or various literary movements. The number of times I've seen...

Eh, if you read the general level of discourse on gaming websites, you know, he kinda has a point there. Have you seen how anti intellectual gamers are? Just read user reviews for games like Dear Esther, Gone Home or Kentucky Route Zero. There are a lot of people playing games out there who...

Sooo, basically a list of the most mainstream 25 RPGs of the last half decade? Topped by Skyrim and Dragon Age of all things? Can't say I'm particularly surprised. Though at least Shadownrun was in there. The Dragonfall expansion was what Mass Effect should have been when it comes to writing...

A good critic is not supposed to blame the audience for good movies failing and bad movies succeeding? Why Bob, how delightfully humorous, considering your own tirade concerning that Pilgrim movie and the equally shitty Stallone movie!

Holy shit! You're still here NewClassic? As for the topic, Phil Fish is wrong, as he often is.

Aye. Thank providence for small mercies.

For some reason it tickles my chuckle gland that you call the assassin at the inn a mini boss. What a strange concept.

I certainly wasn't arguing against EVE. I'm a low sec guy myself and spend most of my time getting blown up in various ways. It's an excellent game. But it's wrong to gloss over the nasty parts of the community. And you can be sure that jew as a term is frequent enough.

Eh. It's not rubbish to say that there are some real nasty fuckers in EVE. Generally the community is great but you also get people like Erotica 1 and the Goon spy master who doxxed people and if you read the forums you see a lot of people being dicks. It's also a community that thinks...

What about all that godawful tracking? Facebook widgets? Twitter shit? Analytics? I don't want any of that. So I use Ghostery. It shows 7 blocked items on this page. I don't know what is just adds and what also tracks me. So, disable all the tracking and social media stuff and I'll disable...

You should give The Dark Mod a spin. It's brilliant. And standalone these days. The William Steele missions are splendid!

It's the good old tone argument, employed by idiots everywhere. On another note: your user picture suits your post well.

As was mentione, System Shock 1 and 2, if you're willing to go back a bit in time. Shadowrun Returns is good as well. Consortium was just released but I haven't gotten round to playing it yet despite backing it on Kickstarter but it looks really interesting.
