Porting from consoles to PCs and vice versa is not as easy as it seems. Making a console game available on PCs means you open yourself up to a multitude of hardware issues. You no longer know the graphic limits of the player, their ram, screen resolution etc etc.. You also have to account for...

I am definitely Boo from Baulder´s gate. A giant minaturized hamster from outer space. Either that or the avatar from Ultima 4. If you didn´t metagame, and instead just played how you wanted to play, that game taught you a lot about your own character because there were so many small moral...

I think one of the reasons games seem more expensive now is that because of early access and pre-orders we are much more likely to buy a bomb in advance. Back in the day, you couldn´t always even buy a game on release day, so you basically could see which games were duds before you spent...

The first PC games that really got me hooked where Ultima 4 and Bard´s tale. For consoles, it was probably like an Indiana Jones game.. I remember there was a part where you had to jump off a cliff with a parachute and stee yourself into a cave that was on the side of the cliff. Also the...

Ah, I see someone pictures it above. Mine was similar to that, but I think all black. As I decribed above, even if you are both young kids playing, it was impossible for a right-handed person to play on the right hand side of it without being at a disadvantage.

I actually had pong when I was very very young.. there weren´t even controllers, both people playing had a dial on the console that you needed to turn. I still remember fighting over who got to sit on the left side of the consule, because they were at a huge advantage since the person sitting...

Just to add to this thread, apparently Blizzard is sending out a ´ WoD for 10 days free´ promotion. That is a huge amount of time and you can probably get to 100 very easily.

There are a ton of games made by one person. Minecraft and A Tale in the Desert are two very big games done by one person. Preventing hacking is very hard, but destroying any game that was hacked is very easy... you just make the game unplayable for them if they try to hack. Almost every...

So I have seen friends have been reporting this. Apparently Blizzard is giving everyone, even non-subscribers a chance to play WoD for 10 days. That is pretty incredible, since for most serious gamers, 10 days is all it would take to get from 90-100 and basically see a huge chunk of the...

I only do cloud of war type stuff because I just don´t like the mechanism. I would rather play on the hardest difficulty without cloud of war then play on an easier difficulty with cloud of war.

Most cheap games i never finished just because the games are so bad that it is not worth it. Probably the only game I´ve seen mentioned here that I never finished was don´t starve.. I thought it was a good game up until I learned there were very specific nights that you had to prepare for...

Inflation. The fact that the prices of games have not gone up that much is because of digital download. WIthout DD we would be at $80 per game. And again, if it was easy to thwart piracy in other ways, devlopers would be doing it. Remember, they are competing against each other, and if one...

If you get sick from playing FPS type games, the secret is to sit back further from your monitor so your eyes can see stuff in your room. Motion sickness is basically caused because your eyes and your sense of balance are sending mixed signals to your brain. Your eyes are telling your brain...

This is what happens when people ´celebrate´ stuff like Piratebay. Some of these games are costing a hundred million dollars to make, you think they will keep doing that if people can just throw the game on a torrent and everyone can download it for free.

Ultima 5, Bard´s Tale ( the early ones), Elite (the one from 1990s), Warcraft 1-3, World of Warcraft, Dungeons and Dragons Online and the origina Ultima Online ( first 5 years).

Yeah, one of the things I hate about devs is when they decide they can´t make a good AI, and instead just make the game cheat in order to have difficulty. I also hate when devs get lazy and cut-paste the same AI to every mob in the game.

I remember Phantasmagoria... it was kinda like a horror version of Myst. I never got very far into it, but I remember some of the stuff was just creepy. I don´t like ´things jump at you´ scary, and I don´t think zombies or stuff like texas chain saw massacre is scary... but Phantasmagoria...

Will Wheaton does a youtube series where he plays a different board game each week with some random semi-celebrities. It always looks like a lot of fun. But yeah, for normal people it is just hard to get someone to play even a real version of Monopoly. People don´t have the attention span...

Their is a hidden quest to get every class up to lvl 10. That gives you access to all the basic cards for each class. Most decks are just about finding 2 or 3 synergies between cards or hero abilities and then getting lucky enough to play those synergies. For instance, having cards with a...

had to double check.. but to correct your correction. From the FAQ ´can we sell or make money using Unity free Yes you can create and sell a game with the free version of Unity, without paying royalties or any revenue share. However, the free version of Unity may not be licensed by a...
