  1. Information Underworld Gold Weekend Sale

    I had been planning to purchase this but never seemed to get around to it as I haven't been in much of an RPG playing mood lately, but a time limited offer is a great path to motivation, so I've picked up my copy! I hope the sale works out well for you.

  2. Indie Swords and Sorcery - Underworld: Definitive Edition

    I did resort to reading the manual, but because it was for the classic version of Underworld I didn't know if it still applied. It's not a huge problem, by any means, but mouse movement at a low framerate "feels" a bit sluggish - it's generally the best way for me to determine if framerate is...

  3. Indie Swords and Sorcery - Underworld: Definitive Edition

    Yeah, I do a lot of lurking (and not much posting)! I haven't been able to post under the "Making Games" subforum at the Rampant forums for some reason lately - says I don't have permission. It's a bummer none of my suggestions that I made with no actual evidence panned out :) For that reason...

  4. Indie Swords and Sorcery - Underworld: Definitive Edition

    Hey, you have a couple options here. One is, as you say, to do: draw_text(x,y,"this text to draw") but you can also do: draw_text(x,y,'It' + chr(39) + 's easy to have apostrophes.') - 39 being the ASCII for an apostrophe. You can also do chr(34) for a double quote (") if you want to use double...

  5. Avadon is here for windows (kinda)

    It's also available on the Spiderweb FTP site: ftp://ftp.spiderwebsoftware.com/win/AvadonDemo.exe I'm downloading it now so I can't confirm that it is exactly what it says it is but the filename seems fairly conclusive.

  6. Game News The Overseer is Dead

    There's one thing you can't fault late 90s Interplay for and that is hiring quality vocal talent for their games. It's ridiculous how much better it was then than it is now when they get the valet and the CEO's son or someone from some shitty anime to do the acting. The Overseer wouldn't have...

  7. Game News The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - The Dark Brotherhood Returns

    When they say "read books in 3d" it is presumable that they mean that the insides of books are now 3d objects whereas previously they were 2d overlays on the screen.

  8. Interview FOOL will be Hilarious

    Because if there's one thing we're lacking is MMOs that don't take themselves so seriously. Yeah, I'm just so sick of all those MMOs out there with consistent story lines, interesting characters and a firm belief in not breaking the fourth wall. What we need are more games with names that...

  9. Bait and switch

    Legacy of Kain. The original was made by Silicon Knights then through some legal shenanigans the publisher of the original, Crystal Dynamics, made the rest.

  10. IGN's Top 25 Modern PC Games

    They limit themselves to games younger than Half Life because they don't want to talk about games older than their target audience.

  11. Game News PS: T Available on GoG

    The current system sucks for the people actually creating shit, whether it's movies, books, or games. No argument there. Difference is, I'm not in denial about it. Capitalism won. There ain't gonna be no socialist paradise. Pretending otherwise is simply expecting reality to change to suit your...

  12. Game News PS: T Available on GoG

    I don't think anyone is dumb enough to believe that paying GoG for Planescape Torment is going to result in a grand revival of non-shit RPGs. The only companies getting the money will be CDP and Hasbro, neither of whom are in the business of creating decent RPGs (yeah, the Witcher blew). I...

  13. Game News PS: T Available on GoG

    As Brother None said, the rerelease didn't come everywhere. It wasn't available in Australia, for instance. There was a crappy fold out cardboard digipack version about 6 years ago that I saw a single copy of ever, but that's been it.

  14. Game News PS: T Available on GoG

    Planescape: Torment was never free. Abandonware is not a legal term nor really even a word that actually exists outside of being a flimsy justification for piracy. Hint: If Steamboat Willie is still under copyright then a game that was released only goddamn 11 years ago sure as fuck still is. If...

  15. Do you like Biowarian games?

    I seem to have developed Stockholm Syndrome when it comes to Bioware. I was never much of a CRPG player in my youth, but I remember I was inspired to buy Fallout based on a positive review in a PC Powerplay (Australian) magazine. I had qualms because the post-apocalyptic setting didn't really...
