It sounds like you might want Europa Universalis 3 over CK2. Same developer but larger in scale.

I understand the Guild and Patrician games are about developing a dynasty as well but I've never...

Totally anecdotal, but I do check Greenlight now and again, probably three times a month or so, and other than RPS it's probably where I learn about most stuff that might interest me. It's where I...

Every game has bugs. The game slows to a crawl for me whenever a Berserker takes its reaction move. And it froze once. No idea why. Other than that it's been pretty smooth. But yeah, it almost seems...

"He wiped out the whole squad."

Are there three among you willing to go in on a Sanctum 2 four-pack? It would cost you $11.25 (USD) each. PM me if so.

I missed the originals back in their day (which seems to be punishable by exile 'round here) so I can't compare, but the really impressive thing about EU is how it makes turn-based combat feel like...

Dead Space has always felt like a tribute to The Thing done via a tribute to Alien. Maybe he was being gracious by not saying so, since he must have thought it. Anyway, if I were one of the DS devs,...

Wel then Council guy and Optimus Prime have that in common.

But XCOM's head engineer is definitely Doctor Chang.

I also love how the soundtrack is basically all of Michael McCann's B-sides from...

Can anyone confirm how the Slingshot DLC missions work? Do I definitely need to start a new campaign after installing the DLC if I want to access them? I'm not too far in - I've done two Council...

Is the AI any good in SP, or is it only worthwhile in co-op?

There are suddenly a lot of things on sale for 50%-75% off on Steam, with no obvious connection. Cave Story, Stealth Bastard, Snapshot, Kohan, Sol Survivor, Section 8... and quite a few more.

Other than roguelikes, Dark Souls is the only game I can think of where it's excusable to not have quicksave - because not having quicksave is actually part of the appeal of the game. I don't think...

Everyone in the private sector should bloody well organize, then - and meanwhile be thankful that others already have, because the thing about those strikes is that they help keep wages and benefits...

I honestly don't understand it when people say things like that. Whenever I've worked in unionized environments, all it's meant is that I got slightly better wages and benefits than my non-unionized...

Fair enough. Though it can probably be both :) I hope people working in the industry start organizing at some point, but obviously that's not going to be everyone's fight.

It's really too bad. I...

Yes. And there's no reason all jobs can't allow it as well, except maybe emergency services with staff shortages. When they don't, it's culture, not physical necessity.

Best FPS since Half Life 2.

It's not realistic to think you'll always be able to do something you really enjoy for money, but I think it's quite reasonable for anyone to expect and even demand a social life outside work....

Yeah, I don't know about Europe, but I'm quite sure that in most North American jurisdictions it's gonna be some kind of illegal to dismiss people for trying to organize.



I know next to...

This all makes me wonder how many "AAA" game devs are unionized. Are there any?

Primorida, 4.99 on GOG

If the idea of a combat-centric TBS appeals to you at all, you'd be silly to not get Warlock at that price, though I'd say you'd probably still want to pick up the (cheap) Return of the Elves DLC...

No, it's not just you. You should see the replies I got from someone named "dsch."

Did you decide this before or after putting three seconds of thought in to it for the first time in your life?

Society runs on fiction. Economies run on fiction. Myth-making is the main business of any civilization. Most of the West's leisure time goes in to consuming elaborately-produced fiction churned out...
