There has been this trope these days, of video game writers creating characters that push the boundaries of sexual identity and stuff. A lot of big recent titles and video game adaptations have suffered from these attempts, like the Star Wars Outlaws game and Last of Us Part 2. Now I normally...

I am sorry you feel completely burnt out about things. But this is not the way. In turn I would posture a descent into blind cynicism is equally as destructive as the actions of these so called "unwashed masses collective" you speak of, as I do stress to you that I agree with your take on the...

People run on absolute truths. The sun shines, gravity pulls us down, grass is green ect. I see many people selectively abandoning truths while allowing others on matters of sex, abortion and whatnot. I wonder how much longer society can support itself on contradictory foundations of reality....

Here we have a new spin, fresh from Montpellier, France on the classic Final Fantasy turn based combat system, souls-like with real time QTE for attack and defense... Except out of nowhere this game became the highest rated video game in Metacritic's history. Wait what? Yup, that 9.7 user...

Title is really inflammatory, sorry. But I can't help but draw a few simple parallels in this post that strike me as profoundly logical. Been awhile since I've posted guys! Good to be back! Fallout 3 has a lot of problems with characters and setting. We know this. I'm talking about how Three...

What comes to mind instantly are vivid images of German boys getting slaughtered and hacked to pieces, with Reznov crying for blood. The dying gurgles and screaming in World at War, to this day I find... profoundly haunting. Or maybe we can remember that Black Cats mission with the American...

I find it enormously idiotic that in a video game about shooting, stealing, or talking through any person who gets in your way, the developer and playerbase was (are?) concerned about 'deathclaw optics'. As if killing a talking deathclaw is any worse than murdering human beings left and right...

Imagine you are a largely undamaged country in the world capable of great things still. All you have heard for years on Galaxy News is how the world has largely torn itself apart in "resource wars". Nuclear power technology is now a thing and guess what those starving, backword, collapsing...

Ulysses is interesting in that he knows he doesn't have all the answers, and hates both the present and the past. He is a walking paradox, an anachronism. It is important to note that whatever he talks about, can be inferred to be a puzzle piece to his paradox. There are many such conflicting...

Pretty tense these days. Feel like something has been coming for a long time. Too many signs everywhere. Can I join the club?

Putin seems to be trying to run a relatively "nice" war at the cost of speed as well. The counts of civilian casualties are very very low compared to Israel/Gaza. In fact the counts are almost miraculously low considering what it could be. 9,614 killed and 17,535 injured in two years were some...

With all due respect mister, or ma'am if you prefer. I would squarely place Fallout 76 leagues higher than POS. At least it moderately suceeded to have a coherent story with it's own identity. Not claiming it was great or anything. Fallout POS kinda reminds me of the Russian trash ripoffs like...

In any case, the images appear to be fully legit renders from Interplay. You can actually see the shadows and reflections on the helmet from the illumination behind it. I wonder if this box art came out too late to be useful and simply got deferred to foreign release. We may never know...

While poking around Mobygames' Fallout 2 repository, I came upon a series of images that struck me as very interesting. Polish and French Fallout 2 box art appears to have this inexplicably large city featured on the box and jewel case insert. This city is ENORMOUS, and evidently possesses a...

Pretty sure it was in this video, it was kinda buried down there however.
