you get its value in credits. Which is pretty ok, I am already buying up nicer skins because of some crappy spray paints I already have.

Just released an album in fact.

This is me finding out Civ5 is 6 years old.

What if Cid Meier is stuck making "One more Civ game"

It’s only one more turn. What could possibly be wrong with that?

Large publishers definitely deserve more scrutiny. I still don’t blame Devs in full. These decisions, especially in large publishers like Ubisoft and Bethesda are often so much further apart from the actual building of the game that the people involved don’t even breath the same air-conditioning.
My stability relies on…

Putting more money to fix bugs than art production on a whim means layoffs and then rehires a few weeks later. If you want to keep people they have to remain busy in their roles. That is the trickiest part. It is not like they can just move a budget slider around. Sure if you have no long-term plan to have any heavy…

Clicking “Full Tutorial” is usually something I avoid ( press w-a-s-d to walk etc) ... Not in this case, I did a tutorial run last night but it was getting late, there was so much to absorb! Definitely going to go for a second fresh run and I really want to dig into the Faction Builder instead of picking a default.

Nice, excited to read it. I hope you get some good hours into it, by the looks of it the gameplay would get very different late-game from what it is early on.

An earlier version of this story stated that, as had been rumored, the new Battlefield would be set in an alternate-history version of World War I

Ah that’s assuring that it’s historically accurate. WWI was all about duck jumping over crates getting mad kills with a trench club after parachuting out of a bi-plane…

Its not like there are hungry pvp players waiting for you to come out of the starting stations to rip you to shreds. Get in a corp or that faction warfare stuff (pvp lite, I called it) once you understand the basics and do some pve stuff. Generally if you are in a fleet as a noob you are 1) not the priority target,…

Must go faster!

The more I think about it, the more I realize it is less likely shader mods (which never work as clean, leaves artifacts) and more so like how a friend of mine and I imported into a proper 3D software like Maya and rendered it out in passes and comp'd it together. Awesome work.

Man, it takes some real vision to make something using minecraft in its blocky over-saturated ‘glory’. He probably went back and forth looking at it with the shaders on and going in and tweaking again. I am assuming there is a bit of programming to build that and not just manual block placing. Minecraft art is a…

No different from a 3D model then. The model in wireframe looks pretty ok, then you put shaders and texture on it. The rendering process that follows is an artform in its own right.

I found the one I had in 4th grade (uh...96?) in a box of crap I had in my closet (which also included those graphing calculators they forced us to pay $90 for).
I just need to get some batteries for it...

Especially since people seem to be really good at being hilarious in a game that is generally not trying to be humorous. That said, I knew that once DS3 was coming out Kotaku would once again be 40% Dark Souls and I would feel left out like I did during DS2. So I am pretty sure these vids are the reason I bought DS3…

I mostly loved making my friends pronounce the game's name correctly to watch the awkwardness.

After playing but not completing Dark Souls I because it was on a roomate’s PS3 whome of which moved out before I could complete it, skipping dark souls 2, and never playing bloodborne: Dark Souls 3 was like getting my first experience back. I think the moment where I spawned after getting my ass handed to me, I was…

The Bernie in a bikini reminds me of the end of Aphex Twin's Windowlicker music video....
