I miss the good old days, when all you needed to massage your ego was,

M-M-M-MONSTER KILL-kill-kill-kill

You can totally be a Rouge in that Goat Simulator MMO DLC.
To quote,

“The Rouge is a stealthy and dexterous class, able to apply makeup unseen and wherever needed.

Always being one step ahead of danger, rouges gain the advantage over their enemy by being adept at a variety of skills, such as applying foundation,…

The engine it used was a seriously screwy heavily modified version of the Unreal Engine. It has caused PC gamers so many headaches over the years - Deadly Shadows suffers for the same reason. The engine is just a mess, because they brute-forced a load of stuff into it.

It is possible to get both games running on modern…

IW wasn’t in the same spirit because the gameplay was obscenely dumbed down - one ammo for all? I mean c’mon. I’ll totally agree that the story was good, but the gameplay was seriously messed up.

And the weapon models were some of the ugliest I’d ever seen at the time.

As for combat, Deus Ex wasn’t clunky at all. After…

On a related note, Kidneythieves was a brilliant choice for the game.

Totally agree. The story was great, and perfectly in-line with the first game, both in tone and complexity.

It’s just a shame they had to go and take a PC game, and develop its sequel for console - it suffered in many of the same ways as Thief: Deadly Shadows, and for exactly the same reason.

I have to say, while the gameplay was horribly compromised by the console release (and make no mistake - that’s the reason for the bulk of the game’s issues, from the small levels to the dumbed down gameplay), the writing was still excellent.

In fact, I’d say the writing was better than HR. Where HR was a load of…

Least popular? Who the hell *didn’t* pick to merge with the godlike AI and become even more godlike? The other options were all about surrendering control to the very same humans who had been screwing things up spectacularly the whole way through the story.

Shameless? Maybe. Desperate? Most certainly.

I was born in 86, and saw that film for the first time while pretty young.

I just... didn’t *get* the ewoks. But then, as a young child, I wanted to be Darth Vader, not Luke or Han or any of the other good guys.

Or Boba Fett.

Man, I loved those helmets as a kid.

I didn’t find the baby spacemonkey particularly terrifying, but it’s such a shame they stuck that in there. I actually genuinely loved the film... *apart* from the baby spacemonkey.

Hey now, don’t you go blaming Brits for The Magic Roundabout. That was a deranged French creation.

He *did* appear frequently on Live and Kicking though. Which *was* a kids program, so I think they kinda lost the plot regarding what he was supposed to be.

Also, Live and Kicking was absolutely fantastic. At least during the Zoe Ball era.

They do. But given how old it is, most of us who were kids at the time are now approaching 30 and bury it deep. Every now and then, late at night, you’ll see us pouring a drink with trembling hands, muttering to ourselves.

Seriously, not only was he *visibly* terrifying, he was also kinda dangerous - his thing was that…

Yeah, nothing to fear. I mean, it’s not like America has an obscenely massively widespread problem with people shooting the hell out each other *so frequently* that the rest of the world is sitting here, slack-jawed, staring at the US like it just gatecrashed a funeral and loudly told a racist joke about a dead hooker…

But will he be CANCELLIN’ THE APOCALYPSE?

Caleb makes that particular reference in Blood 2.

I quietly lust for an alternate reality in which NMS followed the Dark Souls design direction - a version of the game in which your survival meant something, because you would spawn somewhere else in the galaxy as a different person, and players could find others’ corpses/abandoned ships more readily, and every…

This is how games journalism tends to work these days. Reminds me of when everyone was going absolutely apeshit over Dear Esther and “what it says” about gaming and how it “redefined bla bla bla”.

And none of them appeared to have played the vastly superior (and genuinely funny) Stanley Parable in its old mod state,…

If he’s playing a replicant, maybe he’ll tailor his antics - he’ll stick a dildo in a toy sheep and leave it in someone’s bed. Because, like, electric sheep, get it?
