8/10 Groovy

Don't know where he hails from, but 7/10. The face doesn't quite mesh with the helmet in a realistic manner.

They make the usual mix up about Black Isle Studios, but not as bad as other people have. This is the first time that I have heard that the GURPS-Fallout breakup was because of the violence. Is there any truth to that? They make it sound like Fallout 1 didn't have that, but I will grant them...

7/10. There are few things more terrifying than a military leader with countless deadly resources and few restrictions being out to get you. With a smug smirk on his face.

The Aztecs were the dominant civilization when Hernán Cortés arrived in 1519 CE. Cortés still needed to pit rival tribes against the Aztecs, benefit from the native americans weaker resistance to common Eurasian diseases, and use warfare tactics (guns and horses) to stamp out most Aztec...

Yeah, holding up Batman: Arkham Asylum as an RPG, is ridiculous. Non-linear, yes. RPG, no. On a tangent, I've played several Fallout 1/2 games by role-playing as similar to Batman as possible. Boosting Unarmed and Throwing skills early in the game. Of course the unarmed and throwing...

my face hurts. 7/10

Yes, that could help them maximize casualties/psychological effect, but the DHS probably keeps some of their disaster plan details from the public. Also, unless you are talking about a large scale strike from Russia or China (in which case we're screwed no matter what) any terrorist strike will...

Well to be fair he does say that Ultima 4, 6, and 7 alternate from year to year in holding that position in his Top 10 list. But, yeah kind of sad that the designer of one of the top selling RPGs in recent years doesn't have more RPGs in his Top 10.

What makes more sense would be if they were working on TW2 game content on the original TW engine (maybe with some better shaders or texture handling, but more or less the same engine). While at the same time their really good coders were focused on getting the TW3 engine working - not the...

Batman: Dead End wins the live action fan film category. If its your first time seeing it you might want to find a higher resolution video file to download. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hjp0I_okX0w

I just finished designing a basic pen and paper role-playing system of my own, Story Roll. It's only 16 pages long (and soon to be under either the Creative Commons or GPL license). I know that you are going to tell me that D&D, GURPS, SPECIAL, or something else is already your favorite. I...

I watched a program on PBS' Scientific American Frontiers that was delving into the intelligence of animals. It told how many of the more intelligent birds pull their own feathers out in fits of depressions when they are left alone in their cage for too long without any outside stimulation. On...

After reading the FMF post-mortem, it almost seems like with how inefficient the Fallout 2 map editor is and how fickle the scripting is within Fallout 2, it would be for the best if the all the great modders just finish up the total conversions of Fallout 2 (if they can), and then move on to...

I agree a lot with what Welsh said about the societal forces that have led to the rise of religious fundamentalism in the U.S. One thing that hasn't been mentioned (or hasn't been mentioned enough) is that religious fundamentalism is somewhat of a base ideological response to a world that full...

Christian Bale from Rescue Dawn. 7.5/10.
