Eternity is now about farting.

Dragon Age: Inquisition
Considering that seems to be a large part of their fanbase (based on romances, 200 page lectures on ME3 endings, BioWare forums etc.), that doesn't seem like a bad business-strategy, really... Friggin' talimancers... One girl got upset that my male mage romanced Fenris.

NEW KICKSTARTER: Darkest Dungeons
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1460250988/darkest-dungeon-by-red-hook-studios A 2D rogue-like where your characters personalities matter as much as their stats! The Jester has seen one too many party members die in combat, and is prone to nihilistic rants, stressing the other party members! Do you send him carousing in town to blow off some steam? The Man-at-Arms has begun relying on the bottle as much as his battleaxe. His inebriated fury is a welcome damage boost for the party, but he has grown increasingly unpredictable and erratic. Do you bench him in town, or simply lash more liquor to his pack? At camp, the Plague Doctor's methods unnerve the Highwayman, and he refuses her treatments. Maybe you should rethink the idea of combining them in the same party again. A critical hit from a skeleton sends the Vestal reeling, and instills in her a crippling fear of the Undead. She can fight well enough against other foes, but if you expect her to keep her head through the Crypts, you'll first need to send her to the Abbey to do some serious prayer and contemplation. The reward tiers are actually pretty good, too!

I can never download the beta. It's far too large.

Movies you've seen recently
That and it let Hanks stretch his acting chops by playing an action character. It was still very much a Hanks role, but with pew pew.

Pillars of Eternity has lots of abilities, but will we truly need to use them?
My Ice Trolls. Let me show you them.

The Lego Movie was insanity. The perfect love letter to creativity, and one hell of a meta-commentary on movie messages if you look hard enough.

Where is your Subtitle?
They've made it pretty clear that Eternity will follow the same protagonist if not have some sort of save import feature altogether. With the level 12 cap thing.
- Are there going to be achievements in PoE? Should there?

Are you saying it's going to be bad?

Why isn't there a Dead State kickstarter thread? What's wrong with you guys?
Richard III?

Who will you be nice to in Stick of Truth?
According to the leaked Acheev list, I will be farting on everyone.

Nothing, unless you listen to the Bioware fans who got outraged when Dragon Age 2 was called Dragon Age 2 instead of Dragon Age: Trapped in the Box. #3 jab at Bioware/its hardcore fans. I'm on a roll today. Even if it was called Dragon Age: Exodus, it would have caused outrage. It ought to have been called Dragon Age: Yeah, We Should've Thought About It Some More. It's not like they had a choice in the matter. They were given a completely asinine release date.

Update #71: The Heavy Hitters: Rogues and Rangers
Stun. If it's a game and it's through the medium of video, it's a video game. Saying visual novels are not video games is not only a gigantic blanket statement, it is fundamentally wrong. I used the word game in every instance, it was clear I was talking about games specifically. If that went over your head, you should become acquainted with the function of nouns.I see. So then, you should have no problems whatsoever citing me one Game.... one Role Playing Game in the history of computer gaming, that had Role Playing and NOTHING ELSE. Oh Boy! A Likes contest!! What are you, 12? Stun, are you mentally ill? No sane person is this pedantic. Hey. Kaine, as someone with autism, I'm asking you to keep it down, okay?

Thank God, that game was a nightmare.

Pillars of Eternity 2 works for me.

Update #71: The Heavy Hitters: Rogues and Rangers
Interesting choice of words! You've moved the goal posts. LOL I see you're no longer arguing that to be an RPG, it need only have Role playing and nothing else. Now you're readily admitting that it also needs to be a game. Well, that's true, isn't. Because if it had role playing, and nothing else, it'd just be a graphic novel... a visual Choose-Your-Own-Adventure. And those aren't games. You mean all this time I thought I was making a video game and I was just making a fancy CYOA?

New Chris Avellone Interview
When I read or watch, I tend to put things in a game design perspective, so what others might largely regard as a crappy movie, I’m always asking myself how it would translate into a game environment. So for example: 30 Days of Night, Battle Royale, Cube, Lifeboat, Crank, the Darkest Day, etc. end up being inspiring because I can break them down by system and level design mechanics. I also read a lot of comics and graphic novels, and some stand-outs are: Walking Dead (and the new Manifest Destiny by Skybound), Wild Blue Yonder, Zero, Secret, Protocol Orphans, Day Men, Black Science (fantastic), and Sex Criminals. More on Sex Criminals a few lines down. Lastly, I keep going back to Batman. Not only do I like the current Snyder run immensely, but Batman is the ultimate example of a designer’s primary job: execution. Batman, at its core, is a stupid idea. Rich kid dresses up like a bat and fights crime and his arch-enemy is a clown. But, in the right hands, it can become so much more with context, presentation, character design, and psychology. (Side note: Sex Criminals is the latest example of this – when I heard the premise, I thought it was the dumbest one-sentence I’d ever read – the execution, however, is fantastic and now I encourage everyone to give it a read.)

One question to devs
Yeah, APs romances were... weird. Scarlet's e-mails read like someone just f**** around.

New Chris Avellone Interview
His comments on Batman and 30 Days of Night are spot on.
