    PA-RPG Tech Demo Release

    It is 2010 right now. 2004 was several years ago. Your verb "enjoy" is present tense. I was making a statement about what I did in the past. As time passes some people acquire more sophisticated tastes and some publications see their reputations decay. Today, I would still recommend that...

    Surviving nuclear war

    Which is what this is The problem is that there is isn't really a guide for that big and bad situation. What government organization is going to write a guide for when civilization breaks down? Then the government organization won't exist and among the survivors it will be every man for...

    PA-RPG Tech Demo Release

    I know why I didn't buy the game in 2004, and that is because I read a review, probably from Gamespot, which criticized the action gameplay for not featuring tight controls and also criticized the setting for making Santa Monica, CA seem depopulated in the extreme (very few random people walking...

    best post- apoc movie

    I agree that Ergo Proxy is great post-apocalyptic, it just takes several episodes before you really see the apocalypse that has occurred. Also one post-apocalyptic anime that I remember being pretty good, though probably not the best, is Origin: Spirits of the Past. The earth as we know it has...

    Escape from New York gets new lease on life

    You would think that if the studios wished to avoid generating ill-will among existing fans (who are potential customers), they would follow some sort of guidelines to at least give off a respectful attitude. My suggestions: 1) Before you try to remake movies that really worked, remake movies...

    best post- apoc movie

    Two recent examples of films that seemed post-apocalyptic without being post-apocalyptic were Wristcutters: A Love Story and (believe it or not) The Soloist. They are both a blending bleakness of setting with screwed up people trying to find meaning or just cope. I know they aren't...

    Can you really disappear without a trace?

    As long as there are people there will be wars. And as long as their are wars, there will be people who lie about their involvement in wars. I don't think the North Vietnamese needed any help to reclaim South Vietnam, they just needed the U.S. to pull out, which they eventually did. Are we...

    Fallout: New Vegas hits preorder charts, F3 DLC sales

    It always amazes me when I hear about people forking over money before a game gets released. While Fallout: New Vegas will probably be a decent game, what if it was for another game and the pre-release hype was out of control, and all of the reviews upon release were terrible. Wouldn't you feel...

    Short horror stories?

    In the 1980's there was a book of scary short stories that was all the rage among 8-11 year olds - Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark collected from Folklore and retold by Alvin Schwartz and illustrated by Steve Gammell. There are three of these books. Some of the stories are the typical ones...

    Seriously, no wild west RPGs?

    You can browse through this list: http://www.mobygames.com/game-group/westerns Unfortunately, Mobygames hasn't made it easy to narrow down the search field because they don't allow you to cross-reference western games with role-playing games (although you can do that with post-apocalyptic...

    Moon Movie

    The type of film you seem to be describing is a Hard Science Fiction film set in outer space. Other than the preceding suggestions from Wikipedia, I would just say the usual suspects 2001, Sunshine, Solaris, Alien, and not much else. It's kind of a niche subgenre. Most sci-fi tends to be...

    Bethesda to publish InXile's Hunted: The Demon's Forge

    At first read, it sounded to me like the gameplay of Diablo, but perhaps it is more like God of War. I don't know what the business politics and final project status were between Inxile and Codemasters when Codemasters cancelled the project. Codemasters stated cryptically "it was focused on high...

    They have a Help Wanted page on their blog, that anyone interested in can take a look at. The positions are Python game programmer, 2d graphics artist, 3d graphics artist, Audio effects engineer, and Audio composer. They probably will at least consider you even if you are just blooming in...

    Sorry the answer isn't that obvious, but it is more ridiculous than that. So, to be more specific there are no openings into the room.

    Is Brian Fargo working for Bethesda too?

    Is it at all possible that this could be a publisher switch to Bethesda for Hei$t or all all the rights tied up with Codemasters even though they pulled the plug? It sucks that they had been working on that game for so long only to have it vaporize. I would rather see them release the game as...
