    Wasteland 2 Update: Attributes and Skills Breakdown

    Expertise is a terrible name for that. Why not something like "coordination"? For that matter, why not dexterity?

    The Age of Decadence third beta released

    That's certainly what some posters at the Iron Tower forums believe, but at some point this argument just doesn't work anymore. The reception of the original demo was lukewarm at best, and even Vince has been very public that he was surprised how many people didn't like it.

    The Age of Decadence third beta released

    Unfortunately it just isn't very fun to play. I'll probably give this release another chance, though.

    Thoughts on this desktop for gaming?

    That looks like a great price, but it's not a great machine. I don't really care for AMD's processors right now, and that video card is fairly low end. If that's your price range, though, then that's your price range. Have you ever considered putting your own rig together? CyberPowerPC has a...

    Impressions thread for negative impressions

    I think you have to be really careful about interpreting Tim Cain's comments as the complete sum of his thoughts and feelings about Fallout 3. Even if he disliked aspects of the game or design, he might be unlikely to mention his concerns for a variety of reasons, including a desire to be...

    Game journalism is a disgrace

    When this first came out I was actually somewhat concerned that largely innocent, if somewhat naive and careless, journalists might be smeared as examples. But there more comes out, the more Lauren Wainwright looks rotten, rotten, rotten. They've exposed a real stinker.

    Wasteland 2 blog update: moral dilemmas

    This doesn't actually sound like a moral dilemma, though, it just sounds like a quest with multiple solutions. Hard Luck Blues had a moral dilemma.

    Obsidian's Project Eternity

    Torment was really damaged by the game's lousy combat. I think the combat system basically holds the game back from being the best CRPG ever.

    Obsidian's Project Eternity

    They sure seem excited to talk about that Wheel of Time game.

    Obsidian's Project Eternity

    Maybe it's a Neverending Story game. Or maybe the Ouroborus isn't a unique symbol in history and we shouldn't read too much into it.

    Jesse Heinig in hospital, chip-in campaign

    It's good that things seem to be improving for him. Sounds like he does have insurance after all.

    Dwarf Fortress

    I'm too lazy to learn to use the lazy newb pack properly.

    Fallout: New Vegas quest troubleshooting (spoilers)

    It'll be tough game to finish nonviolently.

    This is how all comedians should do it

    The concept seems similar, but the phrase coined by the blogger was parallel thinking. Here's a link to one of the posts: http://www.dead-frog.com/blog/entry/whose_joke_is_it_ari_shaffir_carlos_mencia_dl_hughley_george_lopez If you do a search on the blog for parallel thinking or joke...

    This is how all comedians should do it

    I think joke stealing allegations tend to be a bit overblown anyway. I remember once reading a pretty good blog series on "parallel thinking", essentially arguing that very similar jokes can be created completely independently.

    Is anybody else sick of the Mario franchise?

    The intensity of your dislike seems really bizarre when I consider how many quality Mario games there have been. I guess if you're just ignorant of them, that might explain it.

    Mount and Blade goes Napoleon

    There may be a disproportionately large number of specialists compared to historical battles, but there are always a large number of line infantry. It's the most common class on on any given team, and the one I almost always use.

    Mount and Blade goes Napoleon

    I've had a lot of fun with it so far. I'm not in a regiment or anything, but it's a blast.

    Kickstarter for Battlechess started, Interplay

    The original battle chess was awesome. I loved that game, and I was never any good at chess. I used to play games against myself just I could see all the different combinations of fights.

    This has to be a joke, right? RIGHT?

    There's a difference between a less sophisticated force winning a protracted guerilla conflicted and a group of anthropomorphic, stone-age teddy bears beating a legion of the Empire's best troops in a straight fight.
