[Rant] “Depression Quest Isn’t a Game”: A Shocking Tale of People Being Angry on the Internet

How much blood, sweat, and tears does it take to make a game? This is a question that can’t be answered; the only true answer being that it differs from team to team. But the follow-up question I ask has a definitive, simple answer. How much effort does it take to belittle or otherwise threaten the creators? Practically none. Yet for every two hard-fought steps forward this continually more complex and confusing industry takes, we take one step backwards and, [...]

[News] Chivalry Free-to-Play Weekend!

Just an FYI – medieval first person slasher Chivalry: Medieval Warfare is having a free-to-play weekend on Steam. Starting now until Sunday at 1PM PST, you can get in on this ridiculously fun game at no cost to you! Isn’t that great? If you end up liking it, you can also save 50% on the game until the following Monday. We’re big fans of this game at the Twinfinite office, and you can expect to see a bunch of us [...]

[News] Portal 2 is 75% off today on Steam

In case you haven’t purchased Portal 2 yet for future awesomeness, today might be a good day to drop some dough on it. Steam’s Daily Deal puts it at only US$4.99 for the next ~22 hours at the time of writing (refer to this post’s time stamp). For slightly less than double that, you could buy two copies and be an awesome friend. Portal 2 is Valve’s sequel to the insanely popular Portal, featuring a female protagonist (Chell) who comes [...]

[NEWS] IT’S TIME: Steam Holiday Sale Begins

It’s that time of year that every little PC gaming boy and girl anticipates with bated breath: The Steam Holiday Sale! For those of you who are new to this, each day a select group of titles are put on sale for ridiculously low prices. In addition to that, you can vote from a choice of three games to see which one should be added to the sale. ALSO, there are flash sales in which random games have their prices [...]

[Featurama] Is there any point in playing Black Mesa?

Every gamer worth his salt has played at least part of the Half Life series, so when you find out a team has made a mod for Half Life 2 that recreates the original game in high definition, it’s hard to pass not to get excited. I am of course referring to Black Mesa. With this in mind I started a conversation with a friend and I asked if they would play Black Mesa and they responded in a way [...]

[News] First Batch of Steam Greenlight Titles Announced

Today Steam has announced its first 10 titles that have been chosen by its community to be picked up by the digital distribution platform. They are: Black Mesa Cry of Fear Dream Heroes & Generals Kenshi McPixel No More Room in Hell Project Zomboid Routine Towns As one would expect, there are a few Source Engine mods featured (Black Mesa, No More Room in Hell). There is a surprising variety of game types in this list however, such as god-game (Towns [...]

[News] Steam’s Summer Sale Begins Today

PC gamers; get your credit cards ready! Steam has kicked off its annual Summer Sale, running from July 12th-22nd, and it looks like this one’s going to be a doozy. The way this sale works is that pretty much everything is on sale for the whole time. Every day, some games get marked down even more. Also, they’re including Flash Sales, which has certain games with slashed prices for only a few hours, and a new feature called “The Community’s [...]

[SpoilerCast] Episode 6: Half-Life (Now with Portals!)

This week Tyler and Maxwell get double teamed by Canadians as we talk about Gordon Freeman’s exploits, kissing Trent Reznor on the lips, Maxwell’s horrible jokes, and a terrifying Valve-based theme park. I should probably warn that there are Portal spoilers in here, as well, so beware if you haven’t already played both of them. In that case, what’s wrong with you?!   Click here to directly play from your browser, or right click –> save link/target as… to download. [...]

[Featurama] The Games Industry: Failing To Surprise

Each convention has its own “thing,” and it’s pretty obvious that a gathering like PAX East caters more to fans than it does to industry. For their part, companies are keeping their cards close to their chest and saving all the big news for E3. Though even when it comes to E3, we’re still just going to see the same old song and dance that we’ve always seen. For example, in 2012, we’ll predictably see some playable Halo 4footage, more [...]

[Featurama] Half Life 2 – The Musical

In 2007, my wife and I moved to England for a year. She was working for the Council we were living in as a social worker, and I was mostly just bumming around, temping and piggybacking on our landlord’s Internet to be able to play The Orange Box. Along with this, I pretty much had Nine Inch Nails’ Year Zero album on constant play; because I was spending a lot of time by myself in a country where you are [...]
