  1. Amateur Game Making Night

    Those videos are amazing and are making me wish that the UE4 audio tools weren't such a mess, they were obviously made by a programmer with no experience of regular audio production. And I think the size of the Unity store is a bit deceptive. Sure, there's a bunch of great stuff there, but it's also full of mediocre 3D models and plugins that haven't been updated since 2013.
  2. Mr. Robutt

    Superb twists in the latest episode, I really like how they hint at the worst clichés only to subvert them. Good podcast material, but I'd still love to see a The Americans cast. Americast?
  3. I'm about two hours in. The cube puzzles are annoying but a small price to pay for what is one of the most interesting games I've played in a while. The story treating completely insane things as mundane reminds me of the Strugatsky brothers, which makes sense considering that the devs worked on the Stalker games.
  4. Screenshots. Shots of your screen.

    Cradle, so pretty.
  5. Mr. Robutt

    I'm really enjoying Mr. Robot despite the occasional awkward scene:
  6. Games w/ Level Editors

    Unreal Tournament is not a bad place to start, it's free and well documented.
  7. Other podcasts

    You can always download the mp3 and convert it to mono in Audacity.
  8. That's strange, I can run New Vegas with a bunch of mods just fine.
  9. Life

    I just experienced my first earthquake. So weird.
  10. I'm about five hours in. Combat feels a bit more polished and I really like how you can lean in every direction, but I just don't find the setting as interesting as dystopian '60s Berlin.
  11. Other podcasts

    Might this be archived somewhere?
  12. Amateur Game Making Night

    Neat, it's like Ableton stripped down to its barest essentials.
  13. Amateur Game Making Night

    I shot one guard, another one somehow managed to set himself on fire and a third one jumped to his death. Then the game crashed. 5/5.
  14. Amateur Game Making Night

    That looks really good. Any chance of a playable demo?
  15. Movie/TV recommendations

    I just watched Deep Impact for the first time since it came out, it was surprisingly great.
  16. I read that mostly as the mandatory scene showing off her big vice, the way every episode needs at least on scene with Farrell drinking and looking sad. I'm not crazy about using a character's sexual preferences to display how messed up they are. She can't be allowed to just be into rough sex, she has issues.
  17. Twitter :)

    On the other hand, a bureaucrat would never do this: http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-18423780
  18. Post Apocalyptic Books

    I really liked the Southern Reach books. The Roadside Picnic/Stalker influence is very obvious, but Vandermeer took the basic theme in a new direction and the shifts in perspective between books kept it interesting.
  19. Making Music. Tunes by Idle Thumbsters

    I got myself a Bitwig license for Christmas. As a former Ableton user I'm sometimes frustrated by the relatively limited feature set, but I really like the extensive modulation options, it's very easy to make crazy chains of devices controlling each other.
  20. Inspirational Curiousities

    http://50watts.com/ is pretty great for general style ideas.
  21. Amateur Game Making Night

    I really like how my sci-fi battlebike sounds like an old Vespa.
  22. XCOM 2

    Enemy Within is great in itself but it doesn't really prepare you for Long War, it's a completely different game.
  23. XCOM 2

    Procedural generation is definitely a big deal. I've put 257 hours into Enemy Within, at this point every map feels like de_dust2.
  24. Mad Max

    I would be perfectly happy with a reskinned Interstate '76.
