It reminds me of the Stormcloaks in Skyrim where I was all “hell yeah, cultural warriors fighting against Imperial opp—oh wait, you’re like super racist, then? Nah, fuck this shit.”

Agreed. I only have like 80 or so running in Skyrim, but I spent a long fucking time getting the ENB I started with to where I liked it, particularly with lighting. I think the custom angle is part of it because while mods are easier than ever to get up and running, knowing that there’s a level of uniqueness on it is…

I feel ya. I had a PS3 for most of last gen (built my PC about a year and some change ago for work mostly but the games aren’t bad either), which is why I never got around to playing it. Fallout 3 ran OK on my laptop until it died. Mostly just avoided Bethesda-related stuff except for when I was home and could play on…

I had never played Fallout: New Vegas (v timely, I know), so I’m giving that a go. I’ve also modded it some, which is fun:

Yeah, they’ve done the cross-over Zelda launch game before, and I don’t think they want to “showcase” a new console with a game built for the old one again.

Last year I was kicking around the idea of applying to grad school but ultimately decided against it because I just financially can’t. A friend of mine who is at Harvard’s GSD was very upset at this and couldn’t understand what I meant by “No, my parents can’t help.” I hate it.

I was in a relationship like this in college, but it ended up not working out. I still think this was partially to blame. My family is technically middle class if you look at my dad’s income, but as I was growing up, my mother spent about ten years in and out of the hospital with unknown conditions—I have vivid…

Lighting wise this looks way better than Bergman’s (I maintain he’s sacrificing too much exposure). Stuff like how sharp the street is always throws me off a bit when the image is moving, though.

BAT/MAN: the uplifting story of how young Bruce Wayne overcame the grief of his parents death through therapy and founded the Gotham City Batmen professional baseball team and, against all odds, beat their crosstown rivals, the Jokers, in the World Series.

As if Windows phones need more problems, now they want to kill you.

The problem is: let your world building be world building. It’s beyond cliche at this point that if you encounter some kind of old world structure, somewhere in the narrative the people who made it are coming back to kill you. That’s dull and ultimately ruins the mystery of it unless you can land it really, really…

Starred entirely for graphic analogies.

It’s honestly why I liked Wind Waker so much when it came out. It felt like it was veered towards a more interpretive and imaginative art style where things could be played up or down for effect rather than some kind of realism. It’s the last one that truly felt fantastic for me in that way.

Man, the grey and blue batsuit is awesome.

I like his Daredevil work. I don’t know if it was because I only read it a few years ago, but I didn’t like The Dark Knight Returns very much when I read it.

Does it have ham-fisted talking head stuff like the psychiatrists in TDKR? I hated that. Parts of that comic read as major warning signs for the deep end Miller would later plummet into.

WW Ganondorf in particular. Yeah, OoT has that character, but I’ll always love Gandondorf’s resignation to his fate in <i>Wind Waker</i>. Some really wonderful characterization there as he’s the only one with the awareness to know what is happening yet still goes through with it. If you were to adapt WW straight up…

It’s honestly so reminiscent of it that it has to be an area of inspiration at least somewhere on the design chain.

I had a similar experience in the South but with the Gameboy color version of DW1&2. I never played 3. Maybe I should...

I really like the varied art style in the early stuff because it amps up the “legend” aspect of the series for me. I tend to imagine their all interpretations of the stories a la representations of Greek myth.
