Could Have Been Great
Here are four games that could have been much better with just a little more work.
Free Radical
The product of fandom run unchecked, this novel began as a short story and grew into something of a cult hit.
Video Compression Gone Wrong
How does image compression work, and why does it create those ugly spots all over some videos and not others?
Silver Sable Sucks
This version of Silver Sable is poorly designed, horribly written, and placed in the game for all the wrong reasons.
Control
A wild game filled with wild ideas that features fun puzzles and mind-blowing environments. It has a great atmosphere, and one REALLY annoying flaw with its gameplay.

I love the expression on Louis’ face in that shot.
You know who Louis looks a lot like? Matthew Abaddon, from Lost. http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Abaddon
Democracy is the proud government of committees: the only known animal with more than two legs and no brains.
I second the love of the expression. I think the face-poser would be worth the price of Garry’s Mod.
I think he looks like a slightly less mucscular version of Chuck Liddell from the UFC: http://www.icemanmma.com/
Okay, so far, this series is exactly as hilarious as I thought it would be.
Which is damn hilarious.
Best… Facial… Expression… Evar!
Wow. That game is a lot prettier than I realized. (I know you’re on an HL2 map, I meant the character models.)
Man, that last panel really slayed me. This strip could replace whole text books in PoliSci.
“Democracy is the worst form of government ever created by man, except for all the others.”
