    The most fearsome, frightening monster in any RPG is...

    It's from Dungeon Master an old Atari ST and Amiga blobber but real time and yeah if you catch and kill the little dude you get whatever he snatched up back. Apparently he's known in game as a 'giggler' and can actually only steal items held in a party members hands which I never knew!

    The most fearsome, frightening monster in any RPG is...

    For those who might not know this little shit would pilfer random items (even ones required to progress!) and make off. He was quick and could easily kite you halfway through a dungeon you haven't yet mapped and into packs of other monsters.

    Revisiting VtM: Bloodlines

    I like how the intro is one long Citizen Kane reference It's not mindlessly aping cinema though, the game has it's own understanding of visual storytelling. When LaCroix speaks he's the tallest figure on screen, slightly taller even than his bodyguard and dominates the central focus. This...

    Revisiting VtM: Bloodlines

    Brian Mitsoda said that he was completely exhausted by months of crunch and himself was going stir crazy himself when he wrote the Malkavian dialogue, so it's probably satire. And did you just have a relevant screenshot of a small conversation to pull out on the off chance somebody got on to...

    Anime Streeto Fighta V: Vicious Vengeance Vodeville

    Haven't played this in about a month 0.o and can't seem to find the enthusiasm which is odd because I thought I was going to crack out after Beta2. Suppose I bought into the BS about this one bringing fundamentals back but while playing Xrd in the interim I realise that shit that people said...

    Revisiting VtM: Bloodlines

    For which I would have even less tolerance, although I don't think so. I think they're above Monty Python references, although the written writing is noticeably worse than the spoken kind. Pr0n jokes and penis enlargement spam emails date the game somewhere in the 90s, or at least that's what it...

    Revisiting VtM: Bloodlines

    Guess I missed something at the diner as well because I tried talking to the thugs before picking up the phone and they just say 'get lost dickhead' or something like that. Yeah individually they're good but the device itself, which bloodlines uses a lot along with diaries is bad. In the...

    Oh you can huh, fuck, that's cool. Missed it, my fault.

    Revisiting VtM: Bloodlines

    Fuck you too ;) You can't do everything on the computer. You have to approach the sarcophagus to trigger 'seeing it' before you can leave. I massacred them in the end. I also had the same thing with VV and I aggroed the girl by hitting her through the wall of the peepshow booth. I only ever...

    Revisiting VtM: Bloodlines

    Regrettably, I think I have to admit defeat with this game. I just don't get it. This is my third attempt (Brujah female) and I just hit the Hollywood sewers where my first attempt also petered out. The fact that I don't get it irks me though. The minute to minute experience of ice skating...

    Rolling Vs Point-Buying

    Rolling. Having never played a proper PnP RPG (other than MB's HeroQuest natch) or had a D&D group or however that works, I'm not a cynical burn out haunted by some time I rolled a 9 in constitution and couldn't make my paladin with edgy original content do not steal backstory, or whatever is it...

    Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

    Yeah it's a good job we have far more progressive labour practices here in the west and don't treat workers just as poorly if not much worse, phew! Konamis acting like a bunch of cunts but how divorced from the real world are you when a punch card, fixed lunch breaks and manual labour triggers...
