Matt Mercer is the Mel Blanc of videogame voiceovers. He’ll be fine and, unless Blizzard pays royalties to voice actors, which I highly doubt, he’s already been paid. He will be more than fine.

I don’t Matt Mercer would mind. 

It’s an interesting experiment. I’m trying to match Fraser up against actors of a similar age who had a similar level of fame and draw in the early 2000s, when The Mummy films were being made. I don’t think it’s crazy to say, off the top of my head, he could have had a career similar to Matthew McConaughey (who seems…

all this brendan fraser talk really has me itching to revisit ‘blast from the past’ and the extremely fun airheads.

The only real way to prevent this level of toxicity in game environments is to fight against it from the start. Once a culture becomes toxic... it’s really, really hard to pull it back.

I have little to no interest in the spat around Asmongold. All I hope is that nonsense toxicity doesn’t follow a lot of these WoW players over into FFXIV. I love our community, and it’s easily the best one I’ve been in over the 20 years I’ve been gaming online...

That said, it’s also ridiculous to think that one…

A video by Abyssoft documenting Burbank and Rustemeyer’s years-long rivalry discusses the mini-scandal at length.

Every year or two, I come back to No Man’s Sky and play it for about 20-30 hours. I really enjoy myself for that time, and it is indeed relaxing, but I just sort of lose interest. I really love that game, even though this has been my experience, and I would recommend checking it out for anyone who thinks they might be…

Just thanks for this article. Sometimes I like to sit and read about something instead of watching a video.

I checked in a year or two ago and it looks like they’re still trying to drive people over to be victims for the PKs

Ultima Online provided a good reason not to.

Game devs have a problem rendering ANY type of hair, only very recently we started to see some advancements in this department that doesn’t just rely on layering big chunks of alpha textures, but I’m willing to bet that even with these new techniques caucasian straight hair is still easier to render than the hair of…

I’ve been over there, and even more hilarious is I’m an olive complexion white guy that was with both a black and white girl. It’s more than an understatement to say that I had quite a few interesting looks, but I also had my kid with me, which lowers most anyone’s guard down even if foreign. Children carry no…

As an artist, who considers themselves liberal even , I really don’t understand the resentment and politicization of the headline/article. It is a render test. Technology and processes that would propagate across multiple characters of different ethnicity and genders. Many games have more representation than ever…

You’re right, but I don’t think you’re looking at it the right way either. The movie wasn’t supposed to show anything between Yondu and Peter.

They’ll do what literally everyone else has to do when markets shift or unforeseen circumstances make keeping their current job impossible. They will find a new job.

This is a nice longform article in the vein of Jason’s Schreier’s reporting of behind-the-scenes game development. Glad to see this article type again. Great job!

Didn’t the “No Such Thing as a Coincidence” guy end up being a Milkshake Duck?

This crazy stuff even pre-dates the internet crazy days. It seems to be a natural part of any military gamer’s psyche.

Haha, I’m actually not surprised something like this happened. I’m more impressed it doesn’t happen more often(or it does and just isn’t caught). For 16 months I had really low level security clearance for a job. During a couple out-of-work conversations, some topics that I had insight on came up and I was about to…
