So people here might be wondering how this was actually done.

It is okay! If that’s your decision based on all the information available to you. Iron Giant doesn’t strike the same chord with everyone, in fact it probably strikes this particular chord with about 1% of its audience. When your budget is fixed to 2ish new games per year, is that really a gamble worth taking? You…

For a good 8 years of my life I could usually swing spending about $100 on video games per year. Did I want to play The Witness? I did, very badly! But it was $40 for a limited number of puzzles when it came out. So let’s compare it (an 86 on Metacritic) to Diablo 3 (88 on Metacritic). Metacritic is not a perfect…

I still say that Japan’s giant Gundam “statues” are actually functioning mecha just waiting to be called into battle.

It’s some kind of a Dom.

Really the big trick is cutting out what you eat and drink that adds empty calories and sugars. Start severely limiting soda, alcohol, and candy in your diet. Ease back on red meat and focus on leaner meats or (even better) veggies like Edamame or Broccoli for protein. Cut back on bread. Losing weight starts in the…

Pretty sure that’s the point and why we see him rot as a display of progression. There’s a reason that the triumphant music stops when that final blow is landed and a requiem starts. Shadow of the Colossus starts out about a game of hanging on, but really it’s a game about letting go. Which is why it’s the last thing…

On the flipside, I was reminded yesterday of just how morally awful I think Shadow of the Colossus is... a game about an asshole who commits genocide against incredible creatures who never did a goddamn thing to him all because he can’t accept the nature of life and thinks he’s frickin’ special. It’s just an awful…

I think Charmin Sandiego is a better name than The Mad Pooper.

An offering from Billy Shakes, it ain’t, but it was a fun read.

I would suggest listening to the Audio Book version as read by Wil Wheaton. I’m not usually a fan of audio books, but listening to them while working is a necessity when your work could be dangerous given the distraction of holding a book or tablet. That…

Milton Guasti, creator of the Metroid II fan game AM2R, has been hired as a level designer for Moon Studios’ Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Expect at least 70% more morphball tunnels and missile pods.

Agreed. Good guy.
