    Good gaming channels on Youtube?

    True, but that is the fault of level designers and difficulty spike, something that no amount of tutorials can prepare you for.

    Good gaming channels on Youtube?

    I find myself agreeing with every point he makes, games like Thief, SS2, Deus Ex and HL1 all had tutorial levels that are sort of a prologue mission and i enjoyed every single one of them. At the same time, they allowed for the first level to be vast (Thief and Deus Ex) while the integrated...

    What game are you wasting time on?

    Started playing it yesterday, like it for the same reasons you wrote in your review, length makes it feel more like a complete game even though random encounters are the main culprit, why do post Chrono Trigger jrpgs keep doing this?

    What game are you wasting time on?

    Space Funeral a free RPG Maker 1-hour game that goes for purposefully bad/weird graphics and weird dialogue and nonsensical story. These types of games are hit or miss for me, because no one can know beforehand if they would enjoy watching another man's stream of consciousness but for some...

    Return of the Obra Dinn

    Finished this today, while the logical deduction mechanics are good, the atmosphere, music and the voice acting is what makes the game top notch. Have the exact same two nitpicks as Yahtzee does in his reviews, first one is that when you enter the memory for the first time you can't leave...

    So how hard is RPG solodev? An AMA thread

    How did you find the time to learn programming and be an artist, game designer, producer etc. at the same time? Are there programming challenges where you think "if only i have an employee specialized in programming languages"?

    On Dishonored and the inherent inferiority of the stealth ImSim.

    This is one thing that i liked about Thief 3 free roaming in the city, you could rob the tavern, it is not a mission, something you do on your own initiative and you have to plan for everything by yourself. A pseudo open world experience in a way.

    On Dishonored and the inherent inferiority of the stealth ImSim.

    True, but i never saw him as a warrior in a same way that Corvo is even though it is very easy to kill everything in Thief (i'm talking here about stealth bow and sword kills not sword bunny hopping). Making a Thief game that has the same action as Dishonored would be a step in the wrong...

    Warhammer Mordheim Appreciation Thread

    Only the Nurgle's Rot is broken, the rest (brutes and nurglings -1 to hit aura) is stronger than average but not broken IMO. Well, the rest of the spells are, but lots of spells in Mordheim are broken so it balances out.

    Warhammer Mordheim Appreciation Thread

    I played this for the first time about half a year ago. Despite the many many flaws the game has that something special about it. The hardcore roguelike live with your consequences part appeals to me. Never played WHFB but the small amount of models required for skirmish games means my wallet...

    Development Info Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Dev Diary #9: What is a Brujah?

    Reminder that Nines and Skelter don't dress like an obvious stereotype. Damsel does but well, she's Damsel.

    What was your first video game? (Or the first ones per major generation)

    I think it was pong on an Amiga 500, but i'm not 100% sure.

    Games that impressed you with technology

    Dungeon Siege 1 no loading times. Quite impressive for its time.

    Games that impressed you with technology
