    Mad Max: Fury Road

    According to recent cast interviews "Mad Max: Fury Road" is part 1 in a trilogy, acting as a remake/reboot of the franchise. Think of Chris Nolan's Batman vs. Tim Burton's. Plans for a direct sequel were scrapped in 2003. Anywhere that still says it's a sequel to Beyond Thunderdome is years out...

    Mad Max: Fury Road

    Some shots of the "new" Interceptor. Looks like a hybrid of the Mad Max 1 and Mad Max 2 (Road Warrior) versions of the car. The front end is still mostly intact. There's only one extra fuel tank in the trunk instead of two. The pics are legit and were taken at an event this weekend where...

    Pigs can obviously fly: Black Mesa is coming

    I had it lockup a couple times during a load screen and once while launching the game. This seems to be a problem with the Source engine because I get the exact same type of lockups in EYE Divine Cybermancy and Half Life 2. Most of the time loading is a few seconds, but every once in a while it...

    How'd you get your username?

    I always used "Mad Max" as my online handle until joining Mplayer.com in the late 90's. Somebody else grabbed the nick so I simply added RW (for Road Warrior, obviously) at the end to create "Mad Max RW". Over the years nobody else in any other community or website used that particular variation...

    Obsidian's Project Eternity

    Post apocalyptic and fantasy are definitely way overdone. But not too many have combined the genres to make post apocalyptic fantasy. Deep down I'm still hoping for a proper followup to Darksun: Shattered Lands. It's unfortunate Obsidian's game is catering to the Baldur's Gate fanbase and not...

    Pigs can obviously fly: Black Mesa is coming

    It took exactly 4 hours 20 minutes. I made a note of it because that was the same as the price of gas on Friday ($4.20). Never played any Call of Duty games after the first WW2 one. You can probably subtract 20 minutes if I could skip the train ride, the resonance cascade, and the missile...

    Pigs can obviously fly: Black Mesa is coming

    Beat it in about 4 hours. The level layout is nearly identical to the original, so there weren't many surprises. If you played Half Life as many times as I have you'd be able to clear it without much thought. It's done well, though. Tons of detail. Monsters are pushovers. At some places the...

    Obsidian's Project Eternity

    Nah, I really dug Planescape's writing and the cool as hell setting. But it still keeps me from replaying because the twitchy combat sucks the life out of me. The never-ending combat in BG2 is the reason I never finished that game. Also, isn't Tim Cain at Obsidian now? The same dude behind...

    Obsidian's Project Eternity

    You would understand better if you had ever played a PnP RPG. I can get into a long drawn out discussion explaining all the pros and cons for both, but it's pointless and I honestly don't care to repeat a conversation I already had countless times in the past.

    Obsidian's Project Eternity

    Seriously not interested in real time with pause combat. For me it killed any enjoyability of Baldur's Gate 1+2 and Planescape Torment. If other people like it, fine. Yeah you can setup scripts and have it automatically pause for a billion things but it's nowhere near true turnbased. Not for me...

    Obsidian's Project Eternity

    I think the logo is too close to ignore. Although, it does look suspiciously close to the Elder Scrolls Online logo:

    Obsidian's Project Eternity

    It does look like we're getting a Wheel of Time game or a kickstarter announcement for getting one made. Is the fps worth tracking down?

    Mad Max: Fury Road

    I do know as a fact the original Road Warrior (black on black) variant is in the movie. Nobody knows for sure yet if this is an "upgraded" version of the same car later on or a whole different vehicle not driven by Max. The skull on-top of the giant blower hints at it being a gang vehicle. At...

    Mad Max: Fury Road

    Some high resolution shots of recent pics came out today. The only one of real interest is the new Interceptor variant:

    Zone Archeology: Anarchy Cell design doc, STALKER 2 art

    Where are the dragons? Hehe. The tragedy about STALKER is they spent nearly a decade making a huge persistent coop game (imagine Borderlands but not terrible) then finally realized they bit off more than they can chew and gutted the concept. So we ended up with a linear singleplayer shooter...

    Can someone tell me the name of the game i'm describing

    It's pathetic how they abandoned the English version before the studio quietly fell apart/merged with a cookie cutter console game developer. I actually enjoyed their previous title, Soldiers of Anarchy, despite the technical glitches. I still never bothered to track down The Fall, and is...

    Mad Max: Fury Road

    That was the original plan up until 2003 when Fury Road was scrapped. In the last decade Mel hasn't aged well and with all his personal problems the big studios see him as a liability. Today in his own words he is no longer interested and personally gave Tom Hardy his blessing. Although, in...
