Last Thursday Shawn Gaston and I got together with the guys at Fear the Boot and recorded an interview where we talked about the comic and what we are hoping to accomplish.
Also, I sat in on the second half of the most recent Fear the Boot episode, where we talked about the problems of introducing new players to large, complex game worlds.
Philosophy of Moderation
The comments on most sites are a sewer of hate, because we're moderating with the wrong goals in mind.
The Gradient of Plot Holes
Most stories have plot holes. The failure isn't that they exist, it's when you notice them while immersed in the story.
Wolfenstein II
This is a massive step down in story, gameplay, and art design when compared to the 2014 soft reboot. Yet critics rated this one much higher. What's going on here?
A Telltale Autopsy
What lessons can we learn from the abrupt demise of this once-impressive games studio?
The Truth About Piracy
What are publishers doing to fight piracy and why is it all wrong?
T w e n t y S i d e d
Yay! Another interview!
awesome
It’s not a comic, of course, but the Dead Gentlemen (http://www.deadgentlemen.com/) have made two movies called “The Gamers” which switch back and forth from seeing the players at the table to seeing in the game world. It’s a great technique and I look forward to seeing it in the new comic!
I’m assuming you mean “Fear the boot” =D
I assure you all that I sound like less of a tool in person. No, really.
What about, like. The last episode of DMotR?
GIVE IT!
darn, the final episode of the rings isn’t up yet. Guess I need to avoid being late to work …
Anyone else think Shamus sounds kinda like Wil Wheaton? I mean that in a good way of course! ;)
So is chainmail bikini basically just the people behind DMotR?
I had a blast listening to you guys on the way home from work yesterday, and I can’t wait to see how DMotR ends and Chainmail Bikini begins.
I love “The Gamers” (I have it on DVD). I’ve been meaning to pick up the sequel but I haven’t gotten around to it yet :)
