Fallout: New Vegas. FO3 had some really good mods, but there quantity and quality of the NV mods is insane. One of the best mods for it is Project Nevada, which completely overhauls the engine and gives you an incredible amount of customization. There’s bullet time that lets you use action points to slow down time as…

Reminds me of Sharknado. The least believable thing in the “tornado full of sharks” movie was there being absolutely no traffic as they drove from one end of LA to another.

From Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal

Roddenberry had a vague idea for a species called “Ferengi” for a while, and I think it might have been an idea he planned to use in the TOS sequel show that eventually became the movies and then TNG. I don’t think he had much of the ideas for the species developed because he had Herbert Wright pretty much create the…

The concept of the Ferengi actually was one of the unused ideas from before TNG, but the defining characteristics were done by a specific writer in TNG who was known for some anti-semitic leanings. He wanted all the Ferengi to be these primitive, diminutive, greedy monsters with big ears, noses, a love for gold, and…

Honestly, Rocket League likely wouldn’t be what it is if the game streaming community wasn’t what it is. Even with social media taking over the marketing world, I don’t think anyone in ‘11 could have imagined that video games would be popular as a spectator event. I know I never saw this trend coming and hell, I still…

Well said. The whole “not realistic” problem is part of our suspension of disbelief. It is basically people saying that it isn’t realistic within what we are accepting as normal for this world. Part of it is the more realistic graphics and designs make something so unrealistic and stylized (the flying car) seem really…

I’m going to repost something I wrote in another thread about this game.

Oh come on, they’ve had years to work on this game, and a massive amount of emotionally devastating games have come out for them to learn from. The kid and the griffon dying is the happiest possible outcome for this game.

Well, looks like the wave of gimmicky VR games is finally here. We knew it was coming; the gaming industry loves to do gimmicky showpieces as soon as there’s any new type of control peripheral and just can’t resist making an item in the game be the same as the new peripheral. Well, at least it will probably go the…

Damn... it’s like mid ‘00s SPIKE TV: The Game.

Makes me want to go play Chrono Cross.

Is it that hard to imagine that the ship has a multi-species crew and you’ll be travelling with them through this new galaxy? I mean...it isn’t like a predominantly human ship with select representatives of other races on board is something common to Mass Effect... The returning species might not all be squad members…

Actually quite a bit of this game has an old school Mega Man vibe to it. The levels have a lot more platforming puzzles than older Kirby games that remind me a lot of the Mega Man games, the roboticized world constantly reminds me of classic Mega Man, and yeah, the first time I got in the robot suit I felt like I was…

As Rifftrax said: “Speilberg wanted Sam to look so hard even a blind person could tell he was looking.”

Sadly shortly after that it turns in to the 7 of 9 show which gets tedious pretty fast. They repeat the same problems that made the first few seasons so rocky. They wouldn’t commit to their original premise. I really liked the beginning of Voyager, and it seemed early on they were going to stick to the premise. But…

Some more information for people who haven’t seen this info on other articles to help highlight the frustrations PC modders are having with this new system.

Oh I was referring to clothing retexture mods more than anything. I like stylish and stealthy black as much as the next nerd, but there is just an insane amount of clothing mods that turn armor and outfits to just solid black as an “improvement.” No varying shades of black, no attempt to add highlight or depth, just…

Very well said. This is the explanation I give people for my tabletop sessions when I use a setting like Forgotten Realms (or any other fantasy setting that has a world stuck in perpetual middle ages) about why technology isn’t advancing. Necessity is the mother of invention, and why would it even occur to someone to…
