Well folks, Todd Howard has done it. People are going crazy about a 30 second video of some computer generated ground.


I already made a topic on this 6 years ago: http://churchofproz.forumotion.net/t1087-the-next-elder-scrolls-location
It looks like we all disagreed. Anyone feel like changing their mind after seeing this generic ground?
Personally I think Elsweyr and Valenwood are too small for the open world meme, so it's most likely a return to Hammerfell and High Rock.

I hadn't even realized it, but the first OVA "presage flower" has been out for nearly a year now, with the....English dub coming soon. I think @The Lord Kelvin made a thread on this before in the old forum but I couldn't find it. I'll be posting my thoughts after watching.

This is the lowest quality battle royale game I've played recently, but that's why I like it the best.
You don't play as a pixar movie star or some apocalyptic survivor. Instead you're just a featureless, flesh colored circle with smaller fist circles to hit things with.
All guns are black/brown sticks of varying length. There are "cosmetics" (they just change the color of your circle) that you can find randomly around the map.

Best of all, there's no nonsense of about jumping out of a plane/bus/whatever and gliding somewhere. You just spawn wherever RNJesus decides, which saves so much time before you actually get into the game.

I've gotten back into making visual novels with Ren'Py again. Managed to crank a quick one out in less than 2 days, check it out here:

It's a genre-defining, nay, a generation defining masterpiece that endures to this day despite several spinoff and reboot movies.

Also, @Interovegas hasn't watched it. Like, at all.
Everyone get in here and ridicule him for being such an uncultured swine. This is a [[[MANDATORY COMMUNITY ACTIVITY]]]

Dude did some serious work casting, streaming and promoting Starcraft 2, Planetside, and a bunch of other stuff. Wish I'd known more about him so I'd have more to say.

Dunno why, but I've been messing around with photo modes in a few games I own. figured I'd post what I got here, though atm only have one game ripped from my console God of War.


Spoilers so dont scroll down if you wanna avoid spoilers for a game you don't own.

This video (and the article it summarizes) speaks of the color banding effect seen in images and video games, and offers the potential solution of dithering.
