Steam is honestly the most "ethical" of the services in my eyes, with my main worry being what will happen to it when Gaben eventually dies.

I mean... Valve is employee owned, last I checked. He might own the most, but he's not the only one with ownership... it just depends on if others have enough combined to influence things.
Gaben owns the majority stock, and corporate laws about who gets that when he goes is kinda spotty. It very well might end up in a trust divided up by some entity, and I don't doubt capitalism's power to ruin it

I wonder if they are going to fix that bug in TMNT NES that makes it unwinnable on an emulator.
Edit - oh wait, that was the DOS version.
That Time A Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Game Was Literally Unbeatable
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the NES was infamous for being super hard. For many, the game unbeatable. On the PC, though, that was actually true!

The Gold Box D&D games are coming to Steam.
Details are sparse at this point, and it's not clear if there will be any significant differences between what's available on Steam and what's already available from GOG.

Ghostbusters Spirits Unleashed an upcoming 4 vs 1 asymmetrical shooter has been announced.
Trailer:
Pre-alpha gameplay
I look forward to hearing about how the concept gets ruined by microtransactions, server woes, and long lines to play as a ghost.

For the record, this is being done by the same people who did the Friday the 13th (which is interesting and fun, but deeply flawed and cut down in it's prime by the then on-going lawsuit over the series rights) and Predator (which, again, was interesting but also flawed) asymmetrical games. They aren't super into microtransactions... but they also haven't positively hit one out of the park yet ether.

Doom with ray-tracing
GasBandit
Staff member
Man... all that raytracing to slut it up with bloom and ridiculous colored light sources to make it look like a 2001 Voodoo1 tech demo.
To be fair, a lot of those lighting effects wouldn't be possible on a voodoo1.
I think what's neat here is it shows how raytracing is able to simulate lighting effects in rendered spaces that were not built for it, creating basically an ad-hoc lighting engine on top of the game engine already running.
But for modern games I think it's still usually hard to tell the difference, at least in advanced engines that already have fancy lighting effects built in.
man I use to have a voodoo video card it was so badass at the time lol
HOLY SHIT.

Does "picks up where Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge left off" mean they'll be ignoring Curse, Escape and Tales?
GasBandit
Staff member
Maybe that means it takes place between MI2 and Curse, because obviously something happened between being cursed to believe he was a child in the modern era, and sailing back into the pirate-age bay in a bumper car.
Either that or we're going into some deep Monkey Island multiverse nonsense.

The mobile Shining Force game is cancelled. Probably for the best, I'm tired of mobile cash grabs trying to milk nostalgia for a cash grab.

The Shining Force Mobile Game is Apparently Dead
After being announced in August last year, reports indicate that the Shining Force mobile game has stopped development and won't be released.

I feel the same way about mobile games these days. I refuse to give money to any of these shitty games that try to nickel-and-dime customers at every turn… and that describes most of the mobile market.The mobile Shining Force game is cancelled.

Increasingly so.

Sorry, Unknown Worlds only deals in constant, unceasing Thalassophobic stimuli.
I love horror games, I love exploration games, I thought I could handle it.
Nope. Nope nope nope nope

I'm not saying I pissed myself during the first Subnautica game.
But I'm not saying I didn't, either.
"Hull breach detected."
Edit: Here, watch me futilely panic-drill the face of a Reaper Leviathan as it tries to eat my Prawn.
