    Incline Hollow Knight

    The game could definitely use a money sink. I wonder what it'll be.

    Obsidian General Discussion Thread

    Sawyer's really branding himself as the one practical, forward-thinking guy at Obsidian. I knew he had "fixed" NWN2 but here he's going one step further and saying that he had figured it out in advance. If only "the owners" had listened. You hear that, MCA?

    Obsidian General Discussion Thread

    It was probably nothing out of the ordinary, but when I read stuff like this (and Sawyer did phrase it in a specific way, "is there a single goddamn story in this mess that we can take...") I'm picturing Avellone as the unconstrained ideas guy and Sawyer trying to rein him in. Feargus just...

    Incline Chris Avellone Appreciation Station

    But him making Alpha Protocol 2 without Obisidian means him having a studio, assuming AP2 is more than just a text adventure with stick-figure illustrations. So we're polarized between two options: A - Avellone has a plan to set up a full-fledged studio that develops and releases a game under...

    Incline Chris Avellone Appreciation Station

    Will it be Obsidian redux? Co-found the studio with someone else, let the other guy run the day-to-day business, leave when he's been overruled/outvoted one too many times? I can't imagine a studio with Avellone alone at the helm, delivering an unadulterated MCA game. But maybe he's worked...

    Incline Chris Avellone Appreciation Station

    He was thinking about creating a studio? When did he announce that? I haven't updated my Avellone.txt much since he left Obsidian and only wanted to work part-time. From where I had left off it's hard to picture him creating and presumably leading a studio when he clearly didn't like being in...

    Game News Underrail Dev Log #54: Specialization and Veteran Level Changes

    I'm just rooting for anything that makes the game harder post-Junkyard tbh. Hopefully the expansion itself and the rebalance achieves that.

    Old Church Slavonic and the origin of Fampyrs, discuss!

    The story of LoTR is AFAIK an entirely post-Hobbit creation though, so its writing should be properly dated as starting in the late 30s, even if some of the background material dates back to the 1910s. Is this thread a result of Infinitron's scissors? What's the original thread

    Playing The Witcher and corridor shooters makes you retarded - now scientifically proven

    Retardo Battle of the Titans: ELEX vs Grimoire

    I did not expect PB to be the side that was going to keep us waiting. Grimoire might be patched into an unstoppable juggernaut by the time ELEX comes out

    The Valve and Steam Platform Discussion Thread

    Valve isn't a company like other companies! Our fat nerd boss is willing to go full meme to show you how different we are--not just another corporation here, guys. Though I guess old-hippie-but-actually-super-rich is a fitting West Coast look.
