    Joel Burgess and Nathan Purpkeypile on Level Design at GDC

    Not a pleasant tale in its own right. The publisher didn't do much PR for TRoT even locally and they didn't even wait for the English localization to be out before shuttering the studio/turning it into a browser MMO studio for "lack of sales". The international release is actually fairly well...

    Joel Burgess and Nathan Purpkeypile on Level Design at GDC

    It is but not worlwide. If you know an American willing to gift it to you, you can do that, that's how I got it (and its expansion) on Steam. It's all on Greenlight for worldwide I think. Also GamersGate. So it's doable, and worth it, it's kind of a hidden gem, actually one of my favorites of...

    Joel Burgess and Nathan Purpkeypile on Level Design at GDC

    Do it. But not Drakensang: The Dark Eye, that one's got a really boring plot and is grindy as hell, play its prequel Drakensang: The River of Time instead.

    Doctor Who

    The ep was middling to ok, Dianna Rigg kicked ass, but holy shit Jennie was awful, and that Doctor-gets-a-boner gag actually pissed me off. I don't usually care about that stuff, and I'm not with the old Whovians who get upset at every snog, but man that was stupid as hell. Oh well. I...

    Doctor Who

    Typical Gatiss ep. He gets the best things to work with (Dickens, Churchill, and now friggin' Liam Cunningham and David Warner) yet he keeps putting out the most meh eps. I really want to like the guy, but even his best eps (this one and Night Terrors) are resoundingly meh, and his worst is...

    Metacritic Matters: How Review Scores Hurt Video Games

    Kotaku has a pretty interesting piece up about how the games industry uses Metacritic, and why it's not a good thing. This New Vegas example shouldn't be news to people though the amount cited is.<blockquote>Perhaps you've heard the story: publisher Bethesda was due to give developer Obsidian a...

    Black Dynamite in New Vegas (LABOUR DAY UPDATE)

    This is a fun LP :) Maybe there's just a little alternative LP New Vegas overload, I dunno!

    Fallout 4 rumors of sort & other Fallout tidbits

    They should negotiate a better contract next time. To be honest Metacritic bonuses are a bit of an industry standard and they're absolutely retarded. Metacritic really isn't even a decent gauge of game quality, it's more of a gauge of how well your PR did its job, so if anyone should get...

    Doctor Who

    His outfit is pretty swank, and Jenna-Louise is pretty awesome. That said, the episodes have been a little uneven. A redo of one of the Doctor's worst episodes (Idiot Lantern) is not exactly high on a list of desirable eps. This latest ep had some great ideas but I dunno what was up with...

    Fallout 4 rumors of sort & other Fallout tidbits

    Pete Hines recently had an interview with OXM where he noted "I think you’ll hear us making considerably more noise this year than we did last year, as a publisher". This has led to a frenzy of speculation. With the Three Dog tease not too long ago, it's probably Fallout 4. Yay. A Fallout fan...

    inXile funding Torment

    Wanted to do it, but it just wasn't feasible due to a combination of production/shipping issues. We might look into it again in the backers-only store, I think.

    inXile funding Torment

    So yeah. This went pretty well for us :)

    A chance encounter between NMA'ers

    Yeah, bunch of times, we tend to meet up at least once a year, usually more, for NFL. I've also met DammitBoy in the US, SuAside when we went to preview Fallout 3 together, Wooz I visited in Warsaw. I think that's it tho', off the top of my head? I have always wanted to meet Per, and the...

    Shamus Young talks Fallout 3

    Yip, my bad. Don't think it really matters, seems like it was new to most people here.

    DYNO-MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITE! Him randomly kicking people just doesn't get old.

    Those Behind the Fallout

    You can read about a lot of inspirations cited in a history of Fallout, as well as various dev profiles. Interestingly they don't seem to have too much inspiration from '50s post-apocalyptic films, like 1951's Five, 1959's On the Beach and The World, the Flesh and the Devil. Some pretty...

    Pope Resigns, World Cares (Not)

    Nah, there have been Popes from like...Syria and stuff. Oh look, another old white man became Pope. Exciting. I wonder if he's conservative about stuff? He is. Well, I am amazed.

    NFL 2013

    Harvin came at a steep cost but that'll be a fun defense to watch. Adding Avril for so very little is just hilarious.
