Quakecon 2011 Keynote Annotated
An interesting but technically dense talk about gaming technology. I translate it for the non-coders.
Rage 2
The game was a dud, and I'm convinced a big part of that is due to the way the game leaned into its story. Its terrible, cringe-inducing story.
The Dumbest Cutscene
This is it. This is the dumbest cutscene ever created for a AAA game. It's so bad it's simultaneously hilarious and painful. This is "The Room" of video game cutscenes.

From everyone at dOrange, THANK YOU for the plug, Shamus! We really appreciate it!
Funny that you should mention our comic in the same week that I plugged your comic in my personal blog. Must be good dice karma!
Thanks for bringing us DM of the Rings! It’s well-loved by our gaming group.
So whatever happened to this comic, anyway? The URL is 404-compliant, and there doesn’t seem to be a way to contact Dylan Baker without signing up for Vox or something…
