Guess how much credibility you guys have left?

Market saaaaays:

Trust takes years to build and seconds to lose. Losers :>

Very detailed and informative post as always! This is how video game journalism should be done.

You’ve convinced me to give Death Standing another go. I bounced off of it 30 minutes in after the 20th minute of cut scenes but there seems to be more juice to it further in so I’ll power through another hour or two and see if I can’t find the hooks!

I had to stop the video less than 5 seconds in as soon as I saw the words “We brought you Disco Elysium”

No, you’re the corporate asswipes that stole the IP from the creatives that made it. Your game will be shit based on how hard you need to try to capitalize on the legacy of the original creators that hate you. I will chuckle with rueful glee when the game fails.

And I closed the video right there.

Dude charges a million bucks for an hour lunch with him. Imagine how much an overnight special with Warren is :>

Oh yuck.

Just a FYI, the turds at Longdue making “Hopetown” are suing Argo Tuulik one of the lead writers for the OG Disco Elysium in some lame effort to snuff out any competition from Argo’s own project.

Luckily the community has really rallied behind him so things are looking up. Still I wouldn’t give Longdue/Riaz Moola/Hopetown (ugh what kind of hack came up with that name?) any more positive press because they sure as hell don’t deserve it :o

Love these! Reading the bit about Sierra gave me big nostalgia vibes.

Star Control 2 - it’s a mix of RPG storytelling with zany aliens mixed with Asteroids style PvP arcade gameplay. Like Ham and Cantaloupe, you think the combination wouldn’t work but it just somehow does. The writing and lore of the whole universe is just super rich and really immerses you into the whole universe.

Software often loses its value compared with other newer better offerings that come out with time. I doubt very much anyone would pay $50 in 2025 for Heroes of Might and Magic 3, a very well regarded game released in 1999, that tons of people gladly paid the full $50 MSRP price for that year because it was cutting edge.

The game is still great even today. It hasn’t changed one bit but people aren’t going to be willing to pay the same price for it today that they were willing to back in 1999 because there are more competing options with newer tech/ideas that have released since then. However it is consistently one of the top sellers on Good Old Games at around a price point of $5 today

Brave is a shitty browser and anything related to it should be ignored.

I dunno, everything storywise starting with when they put in pandas has read like bad internet fanfic. I recall a blizzcon I went to they were showing the trailer for Battle of Azeroth. There was one scene where Sylvanas yelled “For da horde!” that instantly made me cringe. And then the crowd around me just went fuken wild and I knew I had to get out of there right now.

That was my last and final blizzcon.

Oh is blizzard making good games again? Okay then, wake me up when they start again.

How in the living fuck did Shakespeare in Love win over Shawshank Redemption?

I could not for the life of me get my head into the classic version of subspace. Buuuut Trench Wars was sick AF especially when the server admins set up Zombies! Events on the weekends.

I actually bought the boxed version of the game on 4 separate 3.5" floppies :o

Was in a clearance bin at Toys R Us for like 5 bucks. I remember being so stoked to be able to buy all the different weapons they teased at the end of the shareware episode!

I’ll show you mine if you show me yours:

Loved the Hugo games. The jungle one was probably my favorite up to the point where I needed to find out some trivia question about the name of some person’s dog before the time of Internet.

Def after gorilla

Woah didn’t know about the Android port! Def gonna check it out. Thanks!
