    Interplay files motion in limine against Bethesda

    I just checked the link, you posted the letter from Gersh to Bethesda (probably included in the filing with other letters) rather than the actual filing, hence why it's not in legalese. That said, it does give the most information about what's going on behind the scenes. The actual filing...

    Awesome handmade New Vegas statues

    Not saying that it's not awesome work, just elaborating on why some folks may be less impressed than others. Now that I look at her again I really see a old ceramic model/sculpture quality there and I think the paint style does it. I think that the artist was going for that style (which I...

    Awesome handmade New Vegas statues

    The models are both pretty awesome but the paint job on the Ranger is better. Also noticed that she's drinking Coca-Cola instead of Nuka-Cola. The Games Workshop community has some insane artists amongst them so it's a fair enough statement. I'd also point out that these statues are 27cm...

    Hell is not frozen yet! (Diablo 3)

    I gotta say that I really like the look of the new skill system that they are using. I am a bit disappointed by the promise that every class uses a different system but then having 3 of the 5 use the same system. I need to get around to watching some beta gameplay videos though...

    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    Not really, they are actually both built into the system and are both ultimately up to the player. Familiarity with a system is what really makes the two look more different than they actually are.

    Tim Cain joins Obsidian Entertainment

    http://www.replacementdocs.com/search.php?q=arcanum&t=downloads&r=0&s=Search The Internet has everything if you're willing to put in the effort to find it. I also really enjoyed the gags in Fallout 2. The special encounters get a pass from me but there is a fair amount of stuff that is...

    Steve Jobs died

    We all know who the greater loss was :( . RIP Goran Višnjić Agreed, Apple was truly a technologically innovative force in the 80s, too bad that was the end of that. It was also a reference to the Apple of knowledge from the Garden of Eden, hence the logo of the apple with a bite out of it...

    5 Ways to Tell You're Getting Too Old for Video Games

    I'd argue that microphones are the main source of the complaint. It sucks but prepubescent children have annoyingly high voices and many don't know how to use the mic to communicate properly, they're too chatty. The reason that CS and UT used to be fine was that they didn't always have...

    Syndicate rebooted as (surprise) an FPS

    The lack of variety and risk taking predates the economic downturn. I'd also point out that the video game industry hasn't been hit very hard by the recession.

    Even Tycho from Penny Arcade misses PnP style rpgs

    The same was said when DnD3 was released. DnD4 is "Let's do what we said we were going to do with DnD3 and make DnD balanced and not break itself." That is until they started adding more and more shitty classes which weren't properly play tested and balanced at all (mostly too weak). As for...

    5 Ways to Tell You're Getting Too Old for Video Games

    #5. You Think Multiplayer is Bullshit Their forgiveness for the industry seems to be based almost solely on playing console games as a lot of PC multiplayer isn't random. #4. You Think Games Are Suddenly Too Long True, the younger you are the more you can put up with grinding and certain...

    Even Tycho from Penny Arcade misses PnP style rpgs

    DnD4 would work far better than any previous system for conversion to a PC game and has the best designed system to date. It should be able to be adapted without any mechanical changes. Which would make NWN1 & 2 the closest adaptations.

    JE Sawyer on the GRA item pack

    Bethesda claims to have learned from Oblivion and didn't want to make any "junk" DLCs like this, they only wanted mini campaign expansions like Knights of the Nine and the subsequent Fallout 3 and New Vegas DLCs.

    Bethesda suing Notch

    Most firearm companies view it as free advertising, it's the same reason they allow so many movies to use their weapons. Most games don't change weapon names so I don't know why those that do change them do. If so many games have had real weapon names without permission then the companies...

    Bethesda suing Notch

    Parody, likely used with permission, ditto, ditto, and Starship Troopers created and popularized the modern concept of power armor.

    JE Sawyer on the GRA item pack

    Agreed. Sawyer is known for his interest in firearms and the idea behind the pack is very fitting.
