The latest Wasteland 2 update includes an ample write-up from Nathan Long on his job as a writer, a call to arms to localization volunteers, and the news that the team intends to announce a release date before the end of the month. What Am I Doing Here? So, what is my day to day job here...

It's exactly the same sentence, yeah.

To be fair, it can be more difficult to discern a boss pattern when you're co-oping given it might change aggro mid-way. Granted, the benefits greatly outweight the cons.

Queelag doesn't have a complicated pattern, but she can do a lot of fire damage and, on consoles, the game has strokes every time she inundates the arena with lava, and abrupt framerate changes like that can definitely impact your performance in a fight. She's no Ornstein and Smough, but she's...

I do listen to the American dub once in a while because it just cracks me up. The way the voice actor read the Night Rider lines in particular.. it's like I'm watching a cartoon adaptation of Mad Max! :V

There's formal trading, but while I never tried in Dark Souls II, you could drop items for other players when summoned in DkS1. EDIT: Also, holy shit, loved that Rock Lobster video. For all the "git gud" bullshit, the Souls community can produce some really interesting stuff. EDIT 2: Speaking...

There used to be a rumor you could save Sif *if* you went through a series of complicated actions, but it turned out it was just that, a rumor. Unfortunately you have to kill poor ol' Siffy, he's not an optional boss either.

You really just have to wait for the butterfly to come to you, hit it a couple of times, stand back when it does that AoE thing around itself, rinse and repeat. It's a boring fight, but certainly not a challenging one! But yeah, whatever, Beatrice goes too, especially if it means you finished...

It's been quite a while since we last did a proper tidbits round-up, but we're making up for it with a meatier one than usual, starting with a couple of interesting editorials outlining expectations for the inevitable Fallout 4. First, GameSpot's Kevin Van Ord asks Bethesda to develop a stronger...

Moonlight Greatsword can't be crystal enchanted anymore after the patch, so it's not nearly as OP now. As for full Havel's, my only experience with one has been a guy that was using a puny dagger (probably bandit's knife?) and couldn't damage me at all. I was rocking a Lightning Washing Pole+10...

I distinctly remember already replying, but uh, guess I didn't. Anyway, as far as clubs go, I prefer the Large Club: simple, efficient, S strength scaling on top of that. It's not a class of weapons I like much for PvP because they're easy to dodge and I'm not good on predicting enemy...

It seems like it has a few bugs, but all reports on performance, graphic options, etc. are positive, so I don't know why you think it's a bad port? Granted, I can't even fathom playing Dark Souls with a mouse and keyboard, the game simply isn't designed for that control scheme.

Are you playing on PC? Because I don't feel that's true at all on PS3, people seem to see it through half of the time on the Belfries. Although, the most creative use of the spell I've seen must have been hosts summoning me at the bonfire before Old Iron King using it to "surprise greet me"...

They've been pretty explicit about wanting to re-release Fallout 1 and 2 on Steam. The question honestly isn't if they'll do it, but when and how.

Before you ask, what we're talking about is the Mad Max game from Avalanche, the Just Cause developers, and not the Tom Hardy's movie, Mad Mad: Fury Road, which already had a 2015 release date. The delay was quietly announced at the end of the title's latest trailer, Magnum Opus, which makes me...

For reference, searching in the database for the original Fallout 1/2's rating summary shows this and this, so I don't know if there's much cause to worry about Bethesda trimming down content.

It looks like Fallout 1, 2 and Tactics will be getting a re-release on Steam and possibly other digital delivery services after being taken down at the very end of last year, if these recent ratings from ESRB are to be believed. The games had to be taken down after their distribution rights...

Linking to uspto searches doesn't work (something the Joystiq writer also didn't notice) and I didn't find a way to give a permanent link, which is why I just linked to the search engine. Clunky and inelegant, but better than nothing.

The worst that can happen is that they change the title (well, not literally, much worse could happen but), otherwise, they'd already gotten permission from Bethesda to work on the series as long as they didn't make any profit out of it. Also, I'm not sure if there's any plan to make another...

Before you get excited, I'll note that I believe that Bethesda has done it entirely to protect themselves from sites like this making money off their property, but Joystiq is reporting that Bethesda, or more correctly, ZeniMax has filed three applications for a "Nuka Cola" trademark. The filings...
