We got the first proper gameplay demo for Bannerlord out of a PCGamer event this weekend. The sound's generally shit, so it's hard to make out the dev's narration, but they show a pretty good cross section of the gameplay, and it's looking pretty fucking nice.

They made that change well before SOE was sold. Too many people were taking the name "EQN Landmark" to mean that Landmark was literally the beta for EQN, and shit like that, so they dropped the "EQN" to make it clear that they were actually two separate games. Speaking of Landmark, there are...

I think they've said they'll be showing the vamps in March.

Yeah, I've been doing a Skill build for my first playthrough, and as long as you parry any bosses that can be parried, you'll be fine. I would just recommend, if you later swap to another weapon, hold on to your threaded cane as backup; sometimes you really need a weapon with a decent AoE, and...

Yeah, I've hit a wall with the chalice dungeons for now. I could probably beat the Bloodletting Beast on a good run, but I don't have the patience for it now, and after poking my head into the Loran chalice dungeon, I can tell I'm going to get my shit pushed in well before I reach the beast...

Been doing the chalice dungeons for few days now, and the things are a fucking slog. But I want to collect all the weapons on this character, which means through about half the dungeons. Thankfully, I'm nearly done; I want to finish off the last boss in Lower Pthumeru, for the sake of...

On the topic of voxels, the Voxel Farm people recently posted a video on their work on occlusion tech for the Voxel Farm engine, and for the video they used some Qeynos buildings that were made in Landmark. So I'm guessing Voxel Farm is still actively working with Daybreak, and EQN is sticking...

Only caught one episode so far, but yeah, it's really nailing the whole Naked Gun vibe. The shit with the dog fucking kills me, in particular.

It is an aura, and if you want to do it the hard way, yeah, that's pretty much the strat (and remember to grab Gascoigne's set off the insight shop in the Hunter's Dream, it's got good poison resist). Now if you want to do it the easy(er) way (and God knows, I did), here's the trick: you can...

Mostly pretty standard ones. Dark Souls 3, Warhammer, Horizon, Zelda WiiU, maybe Star Fox WiiU. I don't usually go for a lot of multiplayer-focused games, but I'm definitely looking forward to For Honor. I think Wild is tentatively slated for this year, and I'm a sucker for a decent open world...

I enjoyed playing a caster back when I played the game, but I will just warn you (and anyone else that tries a caster): when you fight a golem, you're going to hate your fucking life.

Really, the smugglers' caches in Skeligge were the only ones that really wore on me. If they cut out, like, two-thirds of those caches, then I'd have nothing bad to say about the PoIs.

Finally started on Bloodborne a few days ago, and finished off Cleric Beast in two tries (Gascoigne was closer to 8-10) and yeah, the trick to Cleric Beast is not locking on; he's too big, and the arena's too small (although do lock on if you toss a molotov at him, then immediately un-lock)...

Just got back from seeing this, and Christ, this was a fucking Star Wars movie. I mean, they really hit the feel of the original trilogy in a way that the prequels flew wildly wide of. If I really had to, I suppose I could find nitpicky shit to criticize, but fuck it, this was good. Technically...

The Season of Infamy DLC was released today, and I'll be damned, it's an Arkham Knight DLC that actually seems to be worth it. It adds new side missions to the main game dealing with Killer Croc, Mad Hatter, Mr. Freeze, and Ras al Gul. I've only done the Croc mission so far, but so far it's...

Haven't really been paying attention to this game, but I ended up sorta stumbling across their website and doing a read-through, and damn, they've got some nice ideas there. The classes listed so far look interesting, and God, I want to do nasty things to the magic system they describe. I'll...

Just finishedThe Secrets of Alchemyby Lawrence Principe, a history book on the the subject. If your interested in medieval history, or the history of science, I'd highly recommend it, it ended up being a really interesting read. And now I've started in onSword of Destiny, the latest of the...

And the objectively correct choice won GotY. Fuck, the Witcher is an awesome game.

Ah Konami, continuing to win hearts and minds...

Huh. Psychonauts 2 it's happening. Something actually worth a reveal.

First new game announcement, Telltale's doing a Batman game. I'm sure it'll be...a Telltale game.

Game Awards starting now; let's see if we get anything interesting in terms of announcements.

Witcher 3 easily. It hasn't been mentioned here yet, but I'll also give an honorable mention nod to Batman: Arkham Knight (well, the console version at least). Sure, they went a tad overboard with the Batmobile, but it was still a pretty awesome game.

Don't know about banning, but yeah, the EQN forums don't currently include a General Discussion forum, so any EQN thread that isn't specifically about the Workshop stuff gets locked. It's definitely one of the more ass-backward systems I've seen recently.

Honestly, the thing I'm most excited about with this game isn't the game itself, but what this game could lead to in future sci fi games, especially if people can figure out how to add more handcrafted planets in along with the procedural ones, or having handcrafted content show up on the...

So, with this news, I've been turning over in my head the idea of them making use of both the old and new WoDs in computer games. Will they actually do that? No clue, but it's probably a long shot. But I've been thinking over *how* something like that could reasonably be done, and fuck it, I...

Yeah, I can get that. Although I do understand the reasoning behind why they did it, having the clans sorta represent more core variations on the vampire mythos, and bloodlines contain the really weird shit, whereas in VtM the weird shit was just kinda everywhere.

I guess I'm the odd man out here, in that I actually prefer the newer WoD to the old one, especially since they started doing the second edition of it. Maybe I'm just a couple years too young for the super-90s gothic-punk stick-it-to-The-Man vibe that runs through the old WoD to really grab me...

Some of you might remember this from last year, I think from Gamescom, where we got a reveal trailer that showed what looked like an open world caveman game with some fantasy elements, but not much more. Well, we got some more info out of the game expo in Paris, and shit looks cool enough to me...

Yeah, only Triss and Yen actually matter for how the whole romance story arc ends; everyone else is consequence-free.

Eh, as I understand it, it's more like *a* dev that's doing the whole building mode. In terms of pure Landmark stuff, they've pretty much just have a skeleton crew working on it.

Yeah, with the early books you really need to keep repeating the mantra, "Just keep going, it'll eventually make sense," may take half the book, may take five books, but it'll eventually make sense. Hell, I don't think there's even a glimmer of the "big bad" until, like, book four. I can't even...

So, to move on from Mazim's sandy vagina and potentially talk about EQN; I'm curious Elidroth, were you able to get in on that company-wide combat playtesting? Willing to share that sweet, sweet inside info with us? (Or, you know, a vague impression?)

I'm inclined to agree. If they can continue to make money off of fucktards without negatively affecting the rest of their player base, then more power to them.

And if they somehow do...Twitch Fights the Kapra Demon? Christ, that would be entertainment gold.

Huh, so combat arts are replacing the parry button. Granted, it sounds like parrying will still be the combat art for certain weapons, but still, having to actually create a parry build rather than it just being something everyone can do, and for that matter parries now using up a resource, is...

If it helps, Sunken King felt like the one where the sorcery thing was the worst. The other two have a couple enemies with an annoying amount of resistance, but it's not quite as much of a blanket thing.

I got some random-ass Emilio Estevez vehicle I'd never heard of calledStakeout. Must've been a slow day in movie land.

Gameplay footage trailer from Gamescom: Speed-wise, looks like they're going for something between Dark Souls and Bloodborne; we get our first peek at the rumored bonfire-making mechanic; and they're definitely doubling down on the creepy factor with some of the enemy designs.

lol. Although really, the reason why they focused on doors at the beginning is because, if they want players to make shit they can actually use in the game, doors are a surprisingly high priority. It's damn near impossible to make workable doorway if you don't have the door to build it around...
