I prefer the old DOS errors trying to bootdisk Privateer.

(A)bort, (R)etry, (F)ail?

I must say, there's a little bit of schadenfreude mirth I'm enjoying that consoles are becoming bigger headaches to work with than PCs.

The short answer is gross mismanagement at the producer levels.

The slightly longer answer is that after Jim Ward came in, the culture of canceled projects became the rule of law for the rest of...

Oh, this could be fun to watch.

Depends on the context and execution, which would then influence how much "horror" and "rejection" the audience would exhibit. David Cage's love/sex scenes are aptly within the realm of "horror" and...

In spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace.

"More" tends to cost more and have diminishing returns on investment. As an artist you pick the medium and style that gets your intent across in the best way you can express it.

Indeed, if it's...

LucasArts has been, for a long time, allergic to income.

The problem is, these days a Star Wars game isn't a guarantee of blockbuster sales, which is what you expect when developing for such a big and expensive licence.

To compound that, with a X-Wing...

I think for me, aside from simple MMO fatigue, is that the game against the computer isn't terribly interesting. Hotkeys, power rotations, aggro switching, that kind of stuff isn't interesting at...

Something annoys me about this game, and I've figured it out this evening.

The subtitle system sucks.

I suppose every single subtitle system that isn't Valve sucks, but I mean Christ on a...

Strangely, I've noticed you can't shoot birds.

Also, <Spoliers>
Why do I get the feeling the plot of Columbia is one that Django Unchained did, except Django is harder on the nose?

The best description I could give of an Irish carbomb is imagine drinking poundcake, nestle Quick chocolate, and scotch in one gulp.

Well, Romero's with Hall and Bradwraithe, I don't think he'll do his own project.
Weisman's (of Crimson Skies) working on Shadowrun Returns.

Well, first rule of entertainment. Don't put your own money into your project.

Secondly, turns out going into space is really f'ing expensive, especially when you're footing the bill. With that...

Also, I chickened out of an Irish Carbomb shot with Avellone. Mostly because I can't stand the smell of it, due to a very painful prior birthday bash rendering me unable to ever drink that again. But...

Then the only word I want to hear out of you is "Homeworld".

Forgive this drunken rambling, but I thought it prudent to share this experience before I pass out from alcohol poisoning.

So the place is Austin, the South-By-South-West festival currently...

How many more old developers are left to exhume through Kickstarter? One less at least.

Train wreck?

Your eyes can deceive you, don't trust them.

I remember when the Army was considering opening up a recruiting portal in Second Life.

The idea was quickly quashed. I think sending examples of the other "lively" activities in Second Life up to...

Christ, they really did go there. They made a "Friends" Mass Effect DLC.

Ugh. Disappointment is all I can feel right now.

There was an old dos detective game where you were a Russian KGB/GRU agent investigating internal affairs there wasn't a whole lot of hand holding. I think it was indeed called KGB, but I'm not...

For me, I've always felt the strongest game narratives were the ones that gave equal amounts exposition and context through BOTH dialogue and the environment.

Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath

Yeah,...
