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.
In Defense of Crunch
Crunch-mode game development isn't good, but sometimes it happens for good reasons.
Black Desert Online
This Korean title would be the greatest MMO ever made if not for the horrendous monetization system. And the embarrassing translation. And the terrible progression. And the developer's general apathy towards its western audience.
The Best of 2012
My picks for what was important, awesome, or worth talking about in 2012.
Skylines of the Future
Cities: Skylines is bound to have a sequel sooner or later. Where can this series go next, and what changes would I like to see?
Dead Island
A stream-of-gameplay review of Dead Island. This game is a cavalcade of bugs and bad design choices.
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 :)
