    Outlast is a serious game, guys [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=667JFnDqqJE&feature=c4-overview&list=UUY3dk5-6NtOsWjMs_iXvQBA] (NSFW). For real, it's super serious [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zb1kZPaBLO0]. Stop laughing at it, it's totally a horror game...

    If you want a good game about religion, try the Fallout: New Vegas DLC "Honest Hearts", which focuses on the conflicting goals of two Mormon missionaries and the tribal groups they guide/lead.

    Project Eternity Becomes Pillars of Eternity, Reveals First Gameplay Trailer

    It was a facetious statement, though as far as I'm concerned, no more absurd than the mindset it was meant to address. I'm looking over the PST manual right now, and I don't see any mention of THAC0. Closest thing it gets to saying that is "Low AC is good, yo!" EDIT: You forgot human...

    Project Eternity Becomes Pillars of Eternity, Reveals First Gameplay Trailer

    Final Fantasy Tactics, released in January 1998, had auto-attack AI.

    Project Eternity Becomes Pillars of Eternity, Reveals First Gameplay Trailer

    Plot details are the exact last thing they want to release. Lore? Sure, tons of that. Plot... We know it's set in an area with conflict between hostile locals and across-the-sea colonizers. We know that the main character will be involved in "some supernatural event" to kick off the main plot...

    Real-time-with-pause, like the Infinity Engine and Neverwinter games. Unlike those games, though, there will be no discreet "rounds" running in the background.

    Stasis Succeeds on Kickstarter, Mark Morgan Stretch Goal Goes Down

    At this point, Kickstarter is pretty much just an elaborate excuse to give Mark Morgan and Chris Avellone money, and I'm okay with this.

    StarCraft II World Champions Clash at Red Bull Battle Grounds New York

    She went on tilt hard in the second half of that series. A shame; game two was really good.

    Chinese Cannibalism

    Hey, it's almost like there's a history of this kind of bullshit fearmongering [http://www.snopes.com/horrors/cannibal/fetus.asp]. Some fuckin' Yellow Peril shit going on up in here.

    StarCraft 2: Legacy of the Void Needs More Work, Blizzard Says

    Protoss have been refluffed to "cower behind forcefields, wait for giant robot to attack enemy from out of range", I guess?
