Do you guys know that there is a pretty interesting Twine game called The Domovoi by Kevin Snow? Is it a spin-off of the Gameological project?

Man, whenever you mention it, I'm reminded of the fact that I really, really, really want to check out Moon Remix. Any handy guide somewhere on what you have to do to get to play it in its localized version?

It takes about the amount of time and patience I have for gaming anymore to do a run.

a) not buy or play any rogue-likes anymore. While I deeply respect and love(d) Binding of Isaac, Nuclear Throne, Crypt of The Necrodancer and FTL, those games are basically slot machines for me. I realized that I play them way beyond the point of enjoying them, and that I often feel bad about it afterwards. (Not only,…

I liked Nuclear Throne because it made my reflexes feel young again. Nuclear Throne was so long — and so good — in Early Access, that most outlets seem not to have registered that it officially "came out" in 2015. I guess it would have made more Best of-lists otherwise, because it is a really exciting game. At its…

The name you are looking for is Undertale.
And yeah, it's a bit suprising that it didn't make any impression on the AV Club whatsoever. (The one review one AV Club regular wrote for another outlet was mostly critical, and here, it only ever was mentioned in a thinkpiece that seemed to be a bit so-so on the game, too.)…

Probably too late to still make it into Keyboard Geniuses, but I still have a few things I'd like to mention!

There have been… well, not exactly regular or a lot of backer updates. But there have been updates since 2013. Enough so to give the imprission that the game is still on course (well, on some course), with a release in 2016 possible, or even likely. Also, what they have shown so far looks good indeed.

As I said, my experience with the newer Fallout games is limited — I only ever played Fallout New Vegas, which, as you correctly pointed out, was done by Obsidian. The specifics that you give are interesting, though, so that partly answers my question — thanks.

Mind if I hijack this thread? There is one thing I wanted to ask someone (anyone!) for a while, but didn't know where. And since this is a fine place for fine people with fine taste and knowledge, I'll just go and ask:

To be honest, I only played through the tutorials so far and started a correspondence chess-style game against a friend.

Yeah, I read about that today, too.

I found that slightly disturbing, too. It's like Steam finally found out about that strange place with its people who are bizarrely proud of their quasi-insular state and decided that NO! No longer shall they hide their true identity behind other people's currencies! No longer! Mwuahahaha!

Yes, that makes sense. I wonder if the problem with the series is not how much of a heavyweight they are in the industry, forming to this day a certain kind of image that a certain kind of person wants to have of what "videogames" are like. If you could ignore that, you could almost feel sympathy for this unashamedly…

Nothing against Ryan and the review, which was interesting and fun to read, but… does using what is, hot on the heels of the same man's "God is dead", maybe the most overused philosophical quote in popular culture, really qualify as "clever"? I guess it's a matter of context. Still better that they hired somebody who…

Jedi Knight and its add-on (which these days would probably be a full-on sequel) are interesting to this day. While I probably couldn't spend days and days playing the multiplayer in the cloud city against my cousin — you could throw him into the eternal abyss by using the force, see —, the level design was impressive…

Who needs arms with legs like this?!
Seriously, that's impressive, and lovely.

Hooray for more Undertale love!
Really, all the excitement surrounding Fallout has just made me realize its strenghts more… as somebody who routinely got lost in huge, sprawling RPGs for decades (the first ones being early Might&Magic games), I somehow regret that I realize just too well that games like The Witcher 3…

Also, the versions of the Grimm fairytales most of us are familiar with are already a "safer" version of the original folk tales collected by them. There was even more blood and mutilation in the original tales. (Which is frankly astonishing considering that the "toned-down" versions still has cut-off fingers used as…

Yeah, they certainly did not pull any punches. I realized just how much more willing they were to scare people recently by getting my hands on a DVD box of the original stop-motion Moomins TV series. The animation was done in Poland (with direct involvement by Tove Janson), but if I'm not mistaken, it was co-produced…
