Just about midnight on the west coast- 517,000. Not a bad day. I'm off to bed confident in finally getting this sequel to one of all time favs

LOL - I'll change mine hopefully by tomorrow. I'm working on a new animation in the mold of the Wasteland portraits and I'll switch it out when I finish. Gotta love the punk though...

In many games NPCs, locations, etc get named for employees, friends and family anyway. I certainly hope it doesn't go overboard so that every NPC or location is a recognizable website name, but I think that's not any real danger. If it helps raise the needed money, I'm all for it, though I've...

$10,000 backer taken $178K

I'm in for $75

Obviously venom spewed by the internet masses is over the top and out of line. But it' 2012 and this should be accepted now as much as gravity. The "article" was pretty poorly written and poorly thought out and Hepler made some pretty classic, foreseeable and obvious mistakes. The "your...

Meh. The men are mostly caricatures too. The women being such is kind of a silly thing to get worked up over, until such time that that kind of realism is intended to be depicted.

A partially metal pleated dress is every bit as functionally silly as armored bikinis...just less revealing.

People only like added "realism" if its fun. Your cell phone blowing up in real life isn't fun. It's even less so in a game.

Why would you be comparing Final Fantasy to GTA Free Roam in the first place? I'd have to call bullshit on your analysis. If you want to go that route, a proper comparison would be, is Final Fantasy 13 have a more, or less, intensive narrative than Final Fantasy 3? Age does play a factor...

Well there were always console and arcade games for people to use. For another thing the early decades of computer games did not require being a hi-tech geek to be able to get started at all. Hell, we are talking about pre-hard drive days, it was as simple as inserting a disk and turning the...

I've read flatland. Quite a good little story. Written by a math teacher a century ago to keep things interesting for his students. Not sure an RPG really fits the world, but I like the story a lot.

Bad choice. Google will pay you twice what Bethesda will. The Game Industry pays shit wages. Doesn't matter what type of offices they have. For pretty much any job you could have, whether you are a programmer, artist, general tech, QA, you will make a lot more money in another industry than...

The Genesis had some nice ones. D&D: Warriors of the Eternal Sun Shadowrun Sword of Vermilian Buck Rogers: Countdown to Doomsday I also played Star Control on the Genesis, for the first time. Other console RPG favorites of mine: Vagrant Story Skies of Arcadia And, as much as...

Obviously as a consumer I don't want to see pay game demos become common. However, it really isn't just as simple as it being good business sense to make them free. It seems like it from our standpoint, as gamers, but the game industry is a different beast. I would say its going to be...

The same way you justify the existence of the old Love Tester machines they used to have in resteraunts and arcades. Its not exactly a game, just a way to throw your quarters away. And, its actually pretty setting appropriate, IMO.

I understand what you were trying to say, I was simply pointing out that this postulate isn't a requirement of art. The fact (of which I'm not even sure we have established it as fact) that something can be expressed through other mediums doesn't make expression through that choice of medium...

Even if that's true, its irrelevent to the point. Just because a painting does not live up to Monet, doesn't preclude it from being art. Quality of art, aside from being subjective, does not preclude something from being art. That's like saying a hamburger from McDonald's isn't food...

I'd say his argument fails immediately when he says this. Figure skating, dance, gymnastics. There are plenty of interpretive "sports" that are recognized as art, and you can "win".

First of all, the need for complete realism in a game has never been paramount. With that said, there's a History Channel show, Life after People (http://www.history.com/shows/life-after-people), that goes about showing how nature would claim back the earth, if Humans were suddendly wiped...
