  2. Video-games someone should make, part umpteenth-hundred and fourteen:

    A W40K version of Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe.

    (I'd also take a Miles Vorkosigan Telltale-style adventure game, but that's by the by.)

  3. Implemented the endgame sequence for #OpenCrystalCaves (sorry, spoilers!) It’s simpler than the intro sequence but contains a nice gag image and outro text as a reward for the player. Soon the game’s first episode will be fully playable from start to finish - a big milestone!

    As millennials return to the games of their youth, remakes of Star Fox and Halo suggest there is still plenty to learn from the past

  15. So, I caved.

    I apologise @COMPU73E but I did pick up Final Fantasy Tactics Advance to play, but I have A LOT of unfinished business with Devil Survivor, it is on the list and I'll see if I get to it this year...

    I forgot how FFTA smacks you over the head with pity for the protagonists.
    Mewt is a shy, maybe slightly awkward, kid who is bullied and has a struggling Dad following his Mother's death.
    Ritz feels the need to dye her hair, as it is white despite her young age.
    The player character doesn't have a Dad, and his you get brother is in a wheelchair.

    It's no wonder these children revel in the escapism they find themselves in when they are transported to Ivalice.

    All in all, it feels great to step back into something so familiar. I know I am going to have a great time with this game.
