    I could see them announcing a non-VR version of Alyx as well.

    Games on SALE!

    I'm pretty sure this is just Steam not wanting to be dealing with generating and dealing with all these free keys.

    Somewhere, a bunch of lawyers just popped their heads up like someone said "Tree Law".

    Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

    We're already getting reports of that, plus people stealing absentee ballots and filling them in.

    Random Video Game Crap

    I wish I could go back to 7 Days to Die too, but then they hired that sex pest to voice a character WAY after all that stuff was out in the open, so I kinda just don't want to support it anymore? I genuinely miss Conan Exiles, because it did so much right and perfectly fulfilled the premise of...

    That's probably Conan Exiles you were thinking of.

    Random Video Game Crap

    Archipelago is kind of the next version of Super Metroid Zelda 3, which is the same concept but specifically with those two games. The reason THAT specific combination works without a server is because Super Metroid and Zelda: A Link to the Past were originally designed to be sold on the same...

    There are like 4 of them now, all from ex ZA/UM people and that's not including the unannounced one from the main writers. And at least two of them got announced hours apart.

    [TV] The What Anime Are You Watching Thread!

    From what I understand... episode 1 looks the way it does because they spent an INORDINATE amount of time doing mocap, turning that mocap into 3D, and then turning that 3D into 2d animation. It looks amazing but it took forever and it was expensive as hell... so they got a new director (who...

    The Random Crap Thread 2: It Hits the Fan.

    The funniest thing about that bit is they kept doing it past the year 2000 and just never changed the year.

    The EPIC WIN Thread 3: SON OF EPIC

    Yeah, that's where I'm at too. Finished school at the height of COVID, couldn't find work DURING COVID, and now any gainful job in my area that I qualify for is somewhere I can't get to because the public transit system around here sucks so much. Literally had to tell someone interviewing me...

    What are you playing?

    I'm the exact opposite: I prefer the odd entries. Started with 1 on the SNES, got 3 during a Scholastic Booksale and played that a bunch, and I've almost done ever civ in 5... just working on the more war focused ones now and then I'll jumping into some of the scenarios.

    What are you playing?

    My biggest issue was that it was basically hard to play Tall, so you you were forced into the early expansion/wide phase of the game whether that was how you liked to play or not. I don't generally like playing the more war/wide focused empires.

    What are you playing?

    Civ 7 is looking pretty good too. I bounced off Civ 6 hard and so did most of the other Civ fans I know. They didn't like the districting system.

    "What are you reading?" thread.

    I've had that for a bit and just haven't had the energy to actually get it started. I really should sit down and read it.

    A big part of the problem is that they were tying the PC versions to Epic Games for way too long. When Remake hit Steam, it made more in it's first few days than it did in it's years on Epic. The other part of it is that, yes, the investors want too much and SE can't deliver it.

    Video Game News and Miscellany

    Yeah... running the numbers, getting a PS5 and the disk drive is basically the equivalent of $1200 in Japan. You could get a good PC for that price. PS5 just doesn't have the games to justify this. The Demon's Souls remake is inferior to the original, a new God of War is years off, and I don't...

    *sighs, turns over "DAYS SINCE LAST MASS SHOOTING IN AMERICA" sign to 0*

    I have to do a lot of "Do not recommend this channel" because while I do find the mechanics and design of firearms interesting (especially in a historic perspective), I'm not interested in... anything else in that sphere. Anytime I watch a gun video, it immediately wants to show me right wing...

    Civil Forfieture. WTF.

    We live in a police state. The public will be given no consideration and the police will be given every consideration. The cop outside shoulda told you when he gave you a stop and frisk.
