Oh, yeah, I could have been more clear with that. My thinking is like, when the monster comes up and rips a dude in half, which is, y’know, all gore, that’s the horror bits. When I say ‘confronting the monster,’ I’m talking about, like, seeing the monster, not necessarily going “hey, monster, you sack of dicks, stop Read more

I don’t even feel like I need to convince anyone, I just wanna get a conversation going about how to do more inventive stealth games. Like, my ideal here would be people coming up with ideas that are as creative as Fatal Frame. Read more

Okay, so, while this article is tongue in cheek, I need to stop you with that Tetris remark. Go play first person tetris. It’s one of my favorite games ever. I LOVE it. Go follow the link in the article. Have fun! Read more

Thank you. I have tried to walk a fine line between nonsense and seriousness. Read more

I’m glad you liked it. After a long, stressful day, I wanted to unwind with something cool and lighthearted. Read more

I have a degree in film production with an emphasis in screenwriting. Does that count? Read more

Coming back swinging would look very different. I’m just trying to say I’m not gonna make any judgements here and I’m totally willing to have this conversation, but not if the poster is gonna claim I’m being pedantic. Read more

oh, fair enough. I was just saying that you could totally adapt Starcraft to first person. Also I just remembered Ghost was technically third person, but whatever. Read more

do yourself a favor and read the article’s tags. ;) Read more

Nah, I started over, I played it, I had a blast. I should have clarified that this was a few days ago. Read more
