  1. Editorial 2007 - A Year in Review

    Great article and a nice summary of all the happenings I stopped following when it got too depressing (although I am going to get MotB on your recommendation, hivemind). It wasn't as good as my articles used to be, obviously, but still, nice work altogether. I like this guy. Who is this guy...
  2. What good omens were evident?

    So, DarkSign, this is something like a half dozen topics you've started about this teaser? Are your thoughts so massive they can't be contained within a single thread?
  3. Preview Hype Machine 1, Fallout fans Nil

    Mmm... nope, still not anything worth discussing. Nice try, Bethesda. Section8 is basically right in that this is a complete blank. It shows they can make purdy graphics and also license the right music and get the right voice actors--but nothing else. On the flipside, however, it says nothing...
  4. Attention fucktards! I mean everyone.

    Well, KC, these guys probably didn't go to rinky-dink community colleges. Any image recognition stuff is HARD, with a capital HARD. Not only are the algorithms staggeringly complex, they require a lot of number crunching to run. As for how to recognise a penis, well, you have a general...
  5. Game News Role-playing in Dragon Age

    One thing you can't disagree with him on is that it's silly to approach every encounter with a mentality like "okay, I need to provide options for Combat Boy, Speech Boy, Science Boy and Stealth Boy here. How the hell do I shoehorn in all those different skills into this encounter?" Sometimes it...
  6. Attention fucktards! I mean everyone.

    IIRC highly paid computer scientists have actually developed sophisticated algorithms that can analyze images and determine if they contain naughty bits. It'd be really interesting stuff if your job wasn't to allow computers to surf for porn. Beats the hell out of writing the code for the next...
  7. Requests

    So does this one. Try the icon to the left of the thread name.
  8. Development Info Dragon Age Community Update

    Actually, the reputation consequences in BG were pointless, especially when taking a reputation hit would earn you money, because at any time, you could just go to a temple and donate enough money to improve your reputation. The worst that could happen was that your reputation would suddenly get...
  9. Fallout: The Escapist misses the clue train

    That's true. Steve Jackson had some reservations concerning the high level of violence and gore in Fallout due to recent troubles that P&P games were having with parent's groups over alleged Satanic material in D&D and so on, so he pulled out, leading the Fallout team to develop the GURPS...
  10. Interview Feargus opens mouth, rant against MMORPGs spills out

    I kind of dislike saying this but I... I agree with Feargus, at least in theory. In practise, however, we still get games like Dungeon Siege and Titan Quest made, and even if we didn't, developers overwhelmingly choose to make MMOs instead of single player games. Even the RPGs we do get are...
  11. What can Bethesda realistically do to make FO3 not suck?

    They could do a kind of random dialog generator where you'd select "RUMOURS" or "GRAY FOX" and then you'd hear Liam Neeson go "Tell me some rumours about Gray Fox, ass hell damn!"
  12. State of the RPG Genre

    State of the genre? Well, in the toilet. Is this news?
  13. Game News Steve Meister on the Fallout concept art

    This is what happens when something as trivial as a piece of concept art gets overanalyzed. Credit is due to Mr. Mullins for a nice piece of art, but it's still too early to flip out over anything. The only really bad thing we've heard so far about Fallout 3 is the music from the teaser page (oh...
  14. Mass Effect and Dragon Age

    Other concerns about the game aside, I really hate the idea of this "mass effect" stuff. I don't mind them having some magic analogue in their setting. That's their prerogative. But "mass effect" is GRAVITY. Everyone causes is because we have mass. I suppose they could whip up some...
  15. Interview Bill Roper tit for tat at Play

    Rumours; and innudendo; RP. r00fles!
