  1. On this day 19 years ago, Vampire: The Masquerade — Bloodlines was released!

    (Also, a little game called Half-Life 2; a detail which is more than mere coincidence.)

    I made a video last year about the death and rebirth of this unusual cult favourite; the studio that made it, the circumstances behind its initial commercial failure, and its remarkable comeback from buggy flop to genre classic.

  2. In 2004, Activision released a buggy, broken mess of an RPG. It sold very poorly. That should have been the end of it.

    It wasn't.
