You see not a bird but an American lady who likes other ladies. Oscillates between shy as a mouse and babbling violently, seemingly at random.
I like badasses. I like babes. I like badass babes the best. Okay...actually I like doggoes the very best, but I aspire to make games about badass babes is my point.
I use music from bands and artists in the free games I make: the frustrated filmmaker in me is very enamored of scoring scenes with rock'n'roll soundtracks Scorcese or Tarantino style. In addition to being a time honored tradition in cinema, this has a history in AAA videoogames as well (for a really great use of it, see Bioshock: Infinite). If I was a millionaire, I'd totally license these songs so I could actually use them legally.

Alone in the Dark
I have never played the classic in its original form (and I'm not at all sure my PC can run anything that old). Is this a good introduction to Alone In The Dark? (The only entries in the franchise I've played were the most recent ones, which aren't that recent and were critically panned. I think I also might have seen some of the (terrible goes without saying) Uwe Boll movie.)
Secret Santa 2019 (Sign-up)
I very much enjoyed the art that I got (AXE COP NIGHT MISSION!) from AkariThePeanut featuring coelocanth and Beatrix in a Santa Costume. It is like wonderful fan-art from a better universe where a game exists for it to be fan-art of...some inconceivably weird brilliant shizz about an enormous bottom dwelling Christmas fish and angry sexy lady Santa. I want to make this game but...I also still really want to make a feature length version of Phantom Queen from last year so...clearly I'm gonna take my time.
Thank you Akari! (Oh my goodness, is that the moon? Are we launching from some kind of moonbase? This is delightful.)
I apologize again for my own failure. Everyone that managed to get a gift in is a superhero.

(I failed. I am just the worst. I am sorry everyone. I kept thinking I was gonna make the deadline until it was the day before the deadline and it was, in the perfect clarity of hindsight, obvious that no I freaking wasn't, not even close. Santa Liberty's Elves are on it so they'll get something good still. Y'all that actually managed to deliver a gift are little Christmas miracles each and every one of ya.)
Katana Hiroshi: "h*ccing"? "chomnker"? I feel even more confused than usual.
Merry (almost) Christmas everyone and happy Hanukkah!

FF7 remake. It's a thing.
author=Liberty
Yes, and I'm looking forward to doing some asscreed type exploration. We haven't seen anything about the exploration, sadly, but I hope they do it assassin's creed style (at least, akin to the newer ones) where you can climb up and around shit. Imagine that with Midgar.
That might be cool. A lot of games in the "you climb up a tower and unlock the shit around you" sub-genre has actually been trying to move away from that exact mechanic because it's become so overdone across so many genera (it's a word, look it up if you don't believe me!) of games. Except for the climb up the "golden shiney wire of hope" I never thought of FF7 as having much to do with verticality, but Advent Children kind of puts paid to that notion.

I'd also love to see on the plates a bit more, and not just under them, but I doubt we'll see much of the richer areas. I did like tha small view in one of the trailers of the small alleyway. Running around through alleys might be fun, especially if you're trying to avoid enemies.
What they conceivably COULD do...which they totally won't because it's completely at odds with Squenix's motivation as a large consumer entertainment corporation to make as much as possible by selling the game to as many people as possible regardless of their politics...is really make this game ABOUT something, ABOUT things like systemic poverty (systems that keep the poor poor and Shinra rich), the haves and the have-nots, redistribution of wealth...all of this stuff that's mostly just kind of inferred in the beginning of FF7. This is a complete pipe dream, and I'm sure they won't do it. It's not why people are nostalgic about FF7 and for serious consideration of the implications of soft scifi/spec-fic Squenix already has the Deus Ex franchise whose BRAND is essentially this. But to me, this is like the one thing that could really justify giving Midgar its own disc all to itself. When I heard about that I was not happy. I am poor, and sick, and goddamnit, I want to experience the VII remake in its entirety before I die from critically failing at existing in a capitalist system.
Explanation video re: YouTube's current "for kids" issues
author=Liberty
To be fair, all the onus of the fuck-up on youtube is on youtube. They're the ones who broke the law that didn't allow targetting children with adverts, deliberately, and they're the ones who are now pushing the blame for that on those who use their services.
I agree pretty much entirely and w/o reservation.
author=Liberty
you'll notice that other streaming and such sites don't seem to be having the big ol fuckup that youtube is currently having because they don't use as big a fucked up automation system to check their videos. Of course, most of them aren't as huge as youtube, but the onus is still on how they've set up their advertising, not the people making videos.
However, I think if youtube's competitors aren't getting this slap on the wrist, it's most likely because:
a) They never figured out a way they thought would let them get away with this, so they never tried it.
b) They are doing it, but on a scale in proportion to their overall operation, so the FTC made YouTube a priority because it's so much larger and also so as to make an example out of it.
I just wouldn't think for a second that it's because they respect children's privacy or anything crazy like that. These are corporations we're talking about. This is only happening at all because YouTube got caught, in essence, spying on kids.

"...bluntly implementing an algorithmically driven system that automatically designates content as "For Kids" based on oblique, overly broad criteria ... generating a huge volume of false positives..."
I mean, deciding what is or is not "For Kids" on the basis of oblique, overly broad criteria that generate a huge volume of false positives has been going on literally my entire life. That is just the way that things are labeled as being for kids or not: stupidly and badly. The only difference now is that a) it's being handled by an algorithm so it's even stupider than usual and now is effing up a whole bunch of content creators' operations and monetization at once.

you know what this is worth posting 9 years later:
a) oh, he LITERALLY meant Kefka
b) considering the original Japanese translation was "God", not "The Master", and that this game's story was ostensibly found "on a long lost 1GB flash drive" (lol) this is the only found footage story I've found in any media where the footage was taken by God. I just thought that was interesting.

Playing as the villain?
@AlexNoah: play more Blood Omen. At the end you get to destroy the whole world if you feel like it--which is more or less every archetypical villain's end goal isn't it?--AND THAT IS THE CANONICAL ENDING. The ending where you aren't a giant douche and sacrifice yourself to save the world is explicitly non-canonical. (More or less the exact opposite of how every other game series with multiple endings decides which is canonical: in this case, they went for the one that DOES destroy the world.)
I mean, Blood Omen might not be your cuppa and that's fine but you can't stop playing it because "Kain's not enough of a villain" give the dude a chance. You can play him as...I'm pretty sure it's possible to play him as one of the worst people in videogame history. You can nom every helpless woman or sleeping or captured man, woman, or child you encounter--in fact you're strongly encouraged to as it fills your blood meter--or if your blood meter is full, you can cast like the first spell you learn which rips all of the skin off of someone on those innocent men, women, and I do think children, too. The spell, called Flay, was clearly designed by House Bolton. And then you get to make decisions where if you want to, you can be even more awful.
To be clear, if you don't want to play Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain, that's fine, but having played it...Kain is a villain and a half if you play the game that way. He makes your average GTA protagonist look socially well adjusted...as well he should, since he's a fucking VAMPIRE.
(The fictional world of Nosgoth was a HUGE influence on my early creativity.)
cool, thanks, that makes a lot more sense than you linking to a game that got "painted".

author=Marrendauthor=StormCrowCrap. I was probably typing to fast, or didn't notice the extra "ActRazer" in the URL-tag. This should lead to the correct page.
I checked out ActRazer based on your elevator pitch but got anti-climbing paint. : (

What's the Worst RPG Maker Game You've Played and Why
Hawkman's terrible battle and encounter design (my first unannounced random encounter, with two enemies, which took at least six turns, where I was dropped to about 25% of my HP, and which I would have died in if I hadn't gotten a lucky critical;oh yeah: no skills, no items) made me ragequit long before the weird rapiness. Anyway, assuming that game's database simulates its world correctly, Hawkman will be eaten by bats in a cave long before he reaches the surface to begin what can only be described as his genocidal rape crusade.
