History of Dungeon-Master Clones 1987-2012 [Video]

Here is a great video by a fellow Swede, called JemyM on YouTube. He goes through every real-time blobber from 1987 to 2012 with a surprisingly deep review for each title. If you care about RPGs, and see value in gaming history—this is a top-notch video to watch that avoids meme overload and feels more “academic”. Unexpectedly, a project of this magnitude will produce a lengthy video, hence the runtime clocking in at nearly 4.5 hours. In my opinion, this just means more of a good thing. However, I recommend bringing a large thermos with strong coffee if you are going to tackle the video in one go. Watch the video after the jump!

Michal Kicinski on buying GOG

Last week or so, Michal Kicinski, one of the original founders of GOG, bought out GOG from CD Projekt Red—making it a private company under the ownership of one. It was still private under CD Projekt Red, but it operated under a public company, which comes with uncertainty. Especially, when GOG showed not to be a company that exactly earns a lot of money. Shareholders hate that, so, it was just a matter of time before CD Projekt Red decided to cut them loose—to sell it to a horrible company that would have turned GOG into an abomination of a store within a year.

We got lucky here, let’s just say that, yet things are still uncertain—what kind of plans does Michal Kicinski have for the company? Could he be the chosen one, or is he just another rich villain—grabbing something good to corrupt it in making a quick buck? Well, we finally got an unofficial statement on the GOG forum by the man himself:

The Fallout franchise once again invites us to watch a fan-made film, made by YouTuber SODAZ.

Fallout: Invasion Of New Vegas [Film]

Yep, time for another movie watch. So, let us travel to the Mojave in Fallout: Invasion Of New Vegas, which is a non-canonical fan-film by DINZHI that depicts the theoretical story continuation of an NCR victory in Fallout: New Vegas. The film doesn’t exactly have a clear protagonist to follow, as it’s more of a war movie, if the Brotherhood of Steel were to invade after the NCR takes the dam. It’s one brutal skirmish after another, with pretty entertaining battle scenes made in Blender and the Unreal 5 engine
