[Toxigen]

Last Breath on Netflix was really good.



Also 14 Peaks was awesome.

Don't forget Ultima Underworld 1&2.

Some of the Looking Glass crew made the original Deus Ex, it was
Warren Spectors answer to Thief, he self admits that he sucked
playing stealth games so he made one that you have options in.
This would inspire game designs that have "elements" of all
genres but are not great at any of them. Exceptions are cool
but not when they become the standards.

Note: Distance matters. If you are sitting at a desk or 10 feet away sitting on a
couch in the living room. For the most part, the Vista/X360 push by Microsoft would
eventually lead to the end of computer designs in favor of the living room, ultimately
this is to take over everything from the computer to the TV to the mobile device and
replace it with the Azure Cloud.

Azure, announced at Microsoft's Professional Developers Conference (PDC) in October 2008, went by the internal project codename
"Project Red Dog", and formally released in February 2010, as Windows Azure before being renamed to Microsoft Azure on March 25, 2014.

Microsoft should spin out its Windows and Office franchises to boost its growing cloud-computing business, former executive Ben Slivka told CNBC in an interview.
“The right thing probably is to bet the future on the cloud,” said Slivka, onetime general manager of Microsoft’s consumer and commerce group.

I think hardware shapes games. The original Thief games were released for Windows (no multiplatforms) and focused on sound as a core part of their design.
During this time a few different companies were producing sound cards and experimenting with 3D audio, for example Creative and Aureal.

Sound was still used for Thief 3, that released for PC and Xbox. Televisions don't typically have people using headphones so the visual cues were switched to.
IMO it's a much dumber experience. 3D audio placement was in EQ back in era, it was awareness when you had the spell book open.

Morrowind was probably the best game ever made and it still needed community hacks and patches to get it into a playable state.

The gaming industry has been kinda a scam for ages. I don't see it changing anytime soon.

You either are a simp or u make ur own games/mods and we are moving into a new age were the word 'goblin' and 'fire resist' is so copywrited that unless you licensce wow from M$ u are a cuck.

I picked up Oblivion when I switched to a widescreen 1080p Westinghouse back in 2007.
I mark widescreen as a decline in computer gaming.

This is kind of neat though.

Bigfoot was interesting. It’s on Hulu.

Thief 1 and 2 were groundbreaking. Thief 3 was mediocre

Thief 4 is a travashumochery of the originals.

Ken burns civil war series ranks high up there, but it’s long.

Horza should be banned like imperious kitten was.

[Jibartik]

Mblake should do a documentary on good old video games.

[Toxigen]

I watched the Ken Burns WW2, was good but long.

Gonna be firing up Ken Burns Vietnam here soon.
