tfw your publicly traded company is only considering being *incrementally* less evil

Originally, Steve Harrington was conceptualized as a bully or asshole character, but after casting Joe Keery and some rewrites, Steve became something else entirely, and a much more likable character overall. So, for Season 2, the writers wanted a human antagonist in the story, and came up with Billy.

I think the Duke Nukem: Forever level of vaporware hype makes it practically undevelopable, but I could see Valve putting out another Half-Life title to launch some new technology or a new engine.

Yeah, that’s one of the most surreal parts of “Wolfstone 3D”

All the death lines are in English; the big SS dude is Russian and the SS Commander is a foppish brit. It’s the same game but...different.

This...is not true. You just have to exit through the Wolf3D menu.

I think it’s presented as intentionally complex. On the one hand, violence is BJ’s greatest skill––it’s what’s served him best in his life and, arguably, what makes him most unique. But on the other hand, it’s trapped him in this unending existence of savagery and destruction, consuming most of those he loves and…

They actually did a timeline reboot with the 2009 Wolfenstein acting as the beginning of this new timeline. So chronologically, it’s Wolfenstein, The Old Blood, The New Order, and The New Colossus.

I actually love the more flavor-texted difficulty modes––especially now that we can see BJ’s lined and high fidelity face wearing an equally high fidelity bonnet.

Without a doubt I appreciate the frustration of feeling shamed for playing on easier difficulties, especially as you make your way through a game fairly…

The exclusion of the swastika in a lot of modern WWII games is usually done to save the German localization team some trouble in production. The swastika in almost all cases cannot be displayed in German commercial products, so a number of companies forego including it in the first place to save on production costs.

Looks to me like there may have originally been a zoo in Silent Hill, based on the animal theme: Monkey, Ostrich, Eel, Butterfly, Snake, Frog.

Well, I’ll speak to the initial reboot, TOMB RAIDER. It’s Lara fresh out of college looking to go on her first, ‘real,’ adventure. From the opening cutscene, though, it’s clear she’s going to get more than she bargained for, and maybe isn’t as prepared as she thought she was. But she’s a fast learner and a survivor…
