How does BioWare rationalise that in their head? I mean, really. Now doubt EA...

I know I’ve been given BioWare a lot of criticism lately (specifically about Mass Effect 3), but I’m actually kind of sad about this. At the same time, I’m pretty damned impressed with this guy’s humility. If I was credited for doing a majority of Baldur’s Gate 2, no one would ever hear the end of it. Seriously, that game is amazing. Good on the guy for lasting...

Double Fine has started a kickstarter campaign to make a traditional adventure game. Tim Schafer is the guy behind Grim Fandango which is pretty much my favorite game ever (we have the original box from when Eric got it in high school sitting on our mantle) so I am loosing all of my cool over this. My cool is gone!...

Poor BioWare. The hits just keep coming to them today. I’d almost feel bad about this if it wasn’t so hilarious. Does anyone else remember The Infernal City or Lord of Souls by Greg Keyes? Set in The Elder Scrolls universe? Were utterly terrible and written by a guy who had obviously never played any Elder Scrolls title in his entire life? Yeah. Mass Effect: Deception is a...

…. I really wish I had a gif appropriate enough to describe my feelings on this. This is… okay, EA, this is just stupid. Did you people not learn anything from the Dragon Age 2 debacle? Really? NOTHING?
Believe me, I understand the motivation to such stupidity. You want more people to buy your product. That’s what every corporation wants. Why not use Facebook as a means...

I can’t help it! It’s so pretty. I normally hate golf (and games that are golf-related), but I loooooove pretty isometric art like this, and it’s the levels are so well-designed. It’s kind of ridiculous.
Just. Just look.

So… so is it weird that I’m beyond ridiculously excited for this? I’m almost as excited as when Skyrim actually came out. Is that weird? I think it’s weird.

It’s called FastKat, and holy crap, is it fun. It’s a bit reminiscent of those old Windows 95 Flying Through Space screensavers meets a flash-based running game.
You remember what screensaver I’m talking about.
It’s surprisingly difficult, but is also really fun to play/excellently designed. I’m pretty sure that I’m not going to get any studying done for...

As long as it’s not exploding or anything, it’s fine.
