I can assure you that artists help each other all the time. Showing processes, techniques, conferences where things are discussed, you tube channels that are nothing but how-too’s, time-lapses and discussions of mood, style and theory.

That’s how I read it too.  I’m curious how he ended up back in the airport community after leaving it previously.

So, you’re saying that Just Like That, he was gone?

I just realized who’s famous for saying that, making it particularly apropos.

Damn, I need to watch this again - thanks for reminding me how great it is :)

This is one of the reasons I still love the film, when I was younger it came across as a grade A ‘Boys Own Adventure’ type movie. But its got layers, and hiding under the relatively light hearted surface with its charismatic over cool and macho leads is a deeply dark and mean film about man’s inhumanity against man.…

The look of Sonic in the movie has little to do with the talent of the artists who worked on it, and more to do with the choices made by the director. They don’t just give the director a Sonic and say “This is what you’re getting.” and the director says “Oh, OK, yeah, cool.” There are concepts, the director picks a…

The plot is an irrelevance at best, and a minor irritation at worst (“Stop talking Samuel, I must murder more demon spawn!”). You should play the first one first purely to play it, because it is glorious. It’s like the Mad Max Fury Road of videogames with it’s all adrenaline, all the time attitude.

There’s a very easy way to defeat guardians (The larger ones anyway, the smaller ones are less predictable), at least 1 on 1.

Hah, two of those Agents of Mayhem paintings were done by me (I am the Welsh artist mentioned in the dialogue. The painting came first, and the writer liked it enough to add a comment to it later). I have no excuse for the hand being more detailed than the face really, except nobody pointed it out until now, so it…

You’ve not driven in Europe, have you? Not oncoming traffic so much as a wall on the left, and a hedge on the right. Not so much now, but in the 1940's much of Europe was still using horses to some degree.

I would think propane tanks have similar issues - they also degrade over time, are suseptable to rust and so on. The result of getting a bad one would potentially be fatal, so work out how gas stations deal with that existing problem, and you can extrapolate from there.

The game begins with a Terraformer being damaged and the resulting weather changes driving the populace underground, as well as facilitating the Bug invasion that frames the majority of the game.

The final act has you repair the Terraformer to destroy the Bugs with the repair tool you’ve had since forever. So why…

You could go ahead and put it back in. Guerrilla didn’t come close to expectations in terms of sales, which in turn led to Armageddon (which was called something else at the time) having some pretty heavy time constraints put on it’s development (I forget exactly how long, but it was considerably shorter, and the…

You can unsee it by squinting a little, if that helps any.

Hah, I own this comic 😀. Well, technically I guess my brother does as I left it with him when I moved to the States. It was probably given out at E3 here, but back in the UK I think I got it at some gaming expo at Earl’s Court. CGE or EGC or some such.

I gave up rage a fairly short way into the game, but I’m loving Doom so far. It is, when in combat, non stop shooting, but I would hesitate to call it mindless, as they’re is a surprising amount of strategy involved - you just have to reach those strategic decisions very very quickly.

I’ve only got one or two sets of puzzles that I felt were abtruse in the long run. Many seem so when you encounter them, but knowledge gained elsewhere, or just stepping away from them usually result in them making more sense later (and there’s very little linear progression - almost always somewhere else to go).

You mean the ones where there are two songs playing at once? Just wait until you can hear the songs separately (or close to separately), and then only worry about the one with the correct number of notes. My issue with that was that the first one sounded completely unlike all the other songs preceding it, so at first…

Just because it wasn’t fixed, doesn’t mean QA didn’t find it. Just as likely it was flagged as a bug and some overworked developer said ‘yeah, that’s really not important in the grand scheme of things.’ The developer would be right - doesn’t break the game, takes a lot of effort to get to, and most people won’t find…

I don’t think the question was “Which faction is the most exciting?” The Minutemen are basically nice people trying to get on with shit, which makes them objectively the best, but also the least fun.
