RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
Now don't be ridiculous! You can't compare the blessed gameplay of Severance with the silly jumping about and what have you that that young woman is doing, that's just weaboo weirdness not combat. Set to an absolutely horrible soundtrack I might add. Edit: Just underlines my point that the peasants should be rounded up, put in a field and bombed.

Cough cough. Personally I think its trying to make a system that covers both: The laggy, imprecise nature of the peasants controller, and the clean, crisp, sharp and righteous mouse and keyboard of the chosen people. The end result just feels floaty and imprecise for the more evolved. I'm currently getting this with Revenant, there ought to be a seperate system for each and never the twain meet or compromise. Edit: Or the peasantry should be culled and their consoles burned of course.

TILESCAPE Modular Building System™
Personally i'm afraid I find no need for such playing aids, I still use the Heroquest, Warhammerquest, Mighty Warriors and Dungeon Floor Plans from the 80's and 90's. If they are not suitable I use the simple expedient of descriptive narrative. It does look like a nice, well made product though, good luck.

Competition to do with the new "Tragic the Garnering" card game I think, Wooz is calling us out. Edit: Or was it Routedirector...Waylander...something navigation based.

I was spoiled by Severance: Blade of Darkness fifteen years ago or so, now everything seems a little...mediocre. In terms of reflex based combat anyway, JA2 and ToEE spoiled me in terms of tactical combat. Edit: In my current playthrough of Revenant i'm finding the combat system very satisfying, though Baez the Ogrok Champion is hilariously OP, thus I cheat and resort to magic.

The Kickstarter Thread
Will there be various ending states or slides, like in Fallout, or is this a do or die affair? What assets will be available to gather intelligence on your foe? Snitches, beggars, upstanding citizens doing their civic duty, that one honest bobby etc. I have to admit that I do like the inclusion of scouting out the opposition, makes imminent sense, and is rarely utilised in games.

The voice actor for the protagonist and the gumshoe is rather talented, recently played a young Harrison Ford in the film Age of Adeline apparently. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdvgE-SmQuw Edit: His John Malkovich is uncannily accurate.

The 'Sidian Tyranny thread
Well in French it's a common diminutive for "Florence", so it may have been better for me! Yes I think in most languages Florence is shortened similarly, however flow has a different meaning in terms of lunar based afflictions.

What's on the idiot box?
BSG gets a little too serious and heavy, thought we'd watch something a little lighter for a change, quite amusing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrHdYfORc_4 Edit: Is it just me or is Mr Bean getting craggier/more northern?

Google Spammed Robo Sales Calls to My Private Phone. My Number Is on the No Call List. I reported to FTC. FTC called back.
Hope they put a bit of stick about for you.

Vigilantes from Timeslip Software, interesting looking combination of Fallout and Jagged Alliance, set in a Noirish (possibly Streets of Rage-ish?) setting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xgc486sqMHM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vunEy0xeS1w Demo available apparently and it's also on that Steam Greenlight thing, bit slipshod (Alpha-ish) at the moment but I can see the promise and like the premise.

What Advice Would You Give Your Younger Self?
The days they turn into years, and still no tomorrow appears. I'd probably slap myself, point out that those I thought I could trust implicitly are self serving, selfish and unappreciative, then give a few words of advice on the wisdom of "Carpe Diem." I'd also encourage myself to be less noble and far more self interested. Sad really, i'm in the same boat as the First Incarnation.

I was always put out by the films altered ending, and the thus missed epilogue that posited that the Hillbilly gentleman had a certain amount of reality seperate from his now dead creator. Have to read again.

Foghorn Leghorn of Sonambulant Dozing? Mystara, wasn't that the original D&D setting? I'm flummoxed.

'Fore God Allmighty I hope they have a seperate control for party member taunts, the Roostergirl is trying far too hard, exceptionally irritating.
