Brigador Killers was originally going to be a 40k reskin of #Brigador where you played as a Dreadnought, but ultimately I didn't like the terms so then we tried some different stuff, then we came back and asked ourselves:

"What if you could get out of the mech?"

BAM +5 years of dev time lol
jokes aside as popeye enters public domain a reminder we got mario and donkey kong because nintendo couldn't use popeye and bluto, like star wars happened because lucas was denied making a flash gordon movie

let corpos denying you recycling their stuff drive you to do better new stuff that's yours

Rebecca was one of the founders of Interplay and programmed & designed for some of the most influential games of my youth, notably Bard's Tale I & III and Wasteland. She will be missed.
My trailblazing game industry bad-ass friend Rebecca Heineman has passed away.

Fuck cancer.

Hello. I'm a 3D sculptor and I've been working on presentation lately for a set of models I'm planning on releasing. Straight to business:

It’s still remarkable that Disney produced - and released - this segment in 1940. A horror short that should rank with its Universal monster movie contemporaries… The animation is lush and experimental, and really shows off the Disney special animated effects team…

IVE DONE IT

Closed Casket Special.... AS Precursor James #Brigador

I know the Broodmare isn't exactly the most challenging mech to use, but 39 Districts in a row was still *grueling*; especially since i was going for all primary and secondary objectives. Only had 1 Alarm the entire run too

I really loved Ninja Gaiden (2004), especially in Black and Sigma iterations. I thought the Wooden Sword/Unlabored Flawlessness progression was so cool that I copied it (sorta) in The White March.

GIVE ME THE FUCKING 4K PLEASE!!! I WANT TO SEE THIS SHIT IN 4K!! I LOVE STRANGE DAYS
It's about time Strange Days finally begins getting the retrospective love and respect it deserves. To me, it's the best pre-Matrix cyberpunk film other than Blade Runner and Robocop, and still better than most cyberpunk films made since.

30 years ago, Katherine Bigelow made a sci-fi flop that changed her career for the better
Strange Days is a noir-soaked science-fiction thriller set against a backdrop of racial tension, police brutality, sexual assault, and disruptive tech

Are there still always people out there going “Let’s make a cool ass thing for other people to see?” Also yes.
