    This does nothing for its hipster reputation. Only way they could have topped that is with Yo La Tengo or Swans.

    Vapourware That Which Sleeps - Vaporware Strategy RP

    I guess grand strategy game authors should make sure that they can write AI for the game systems they design, but that never stopped Paradox.

    Game News Massive Chalice released on Steam Early Access

    It's shite. Bought it in early access when drunk. Smattering of double fine production on the narrative bits while the actual game would be unacceptably streamlined for ground invasion mechanics in a 4x.

    Game News Pillars of Eternity Released

    What else is it there for? Consuming available resources to make something more responsive is perfectly reasonable. Many optimisations exchange memory use for speed. This isn't demoscene wanking.

    Blizzard pay rates

    Austin tech salaries are competitive though so 90K seems a bit low? You can't hire houseplants in London for <$100K

    Preview Ultimate General: Gettysburg shows some footage

    It's definitely an iOS / PC release. Wargames are popular on tablet, would be stupid not to

    Decline Mobile games are the worst cesspool ever conceived in the electronic entertainment industry

    There's a small amount of incline on mobile as long as you don't look at the charts. Sorcery 2 is a great gamebook adaption. Stuffed with C&C and has a decent difficulty level. Shenandoah are trying to make pretty serious wargames for the iPad, making the pretty reasonable assumption that...

    KickStarter Chaos Reborn - remake of Julian Gollop classic

    Lords of Chaos was Laser Squad with gooey blobs, the original had a boardgame's purity and was great to play hotseat.

    Game News Morocco and Indonesia confirmed for Civilization 5: Brave New World

    Yes, more unique units and animated leaders it what it needs. Remind me why the diplomacy mechanics haven't significantly improved for over a decade?

    Decline Incursion is to be "considered dead"

    Well yes, but it's probably going to be the difference between masterbation and sex when you have an audience.

    KickStarter Chaos Reborn - remake of Julian Gollop classic

    Only saw his move to BG mentioned a year or so ago. I need to improve my stalking skills.

    Decline Incursion is to be "considered dead"

    The bit where he turned it from roguelike development into a programming language research project was probably the give away that is wasn't going to get finished. Unless your second name is Knuth, writing a language to get your project finished faster is rarely a good choice.
