The Eighteen Theses of Game Design in Gaming JoeUser Forums

You all know, if you've read my stuff before, that I have big ideals on what I want in a game. Not many games make it past me. You can now read onward, or die trying. Or do something else, I won't stop you. First, the ultimate game would have to play in multiple styles. It must be at least playable from FPS and/or TPS perspectives, with one other perspective, such as an RTS or Hack and Slash style. This would allow fans of more genres to play the

Yeah, I know about most of those sites, I just have too little memory space to make good use of them.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll put them in sometime, after I play them. Three out of the first 4 don't work on my PC, though.

Reply to Waiving Your First Amendment Right By Force in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Seriously not cool. One always should have the right to put any symbol, assuming appropriate content, into their work. No blood, no sex, no whatnot, but a cross is one of the simplest symbols, and there should be no penalty for puting it in art. --Christian, BTW.

Free and Open Source Freeware Games in PC Gaming JoeUser Forums

You're probably here for a list of good free and open source games. When I say free, I do not mean Free as in Mabinogi, with its cash shop, I mean 100% free.

I find that the people I know who pirate software are Liberal rather than Conservative. I, however, am Conservative, and though I do not pirate (except occasional abandonware, but I can justify that for greater justice, as opposed to stealing stuff that still sells), I cannot find any rationale to.

Roguelike Design- From The Player's Eyes in Misc Games JoeUser Forums

I'm going to start off on an adventurous foot. Thanks to Ryan Vincent (Yes, I do Google any name I find, no intimidation meant) for showing me this site. My topic today is Roguelike Design from the player's eyes. Rogue was the first Roguelike game, for those not in the know. If you know about roguelikes, you could skip this paragraph. Rogue was basically a tile and text-based RPG that put you in control of an adventurer. You can (z)ap wands and (w

Reply to Stellar Frontier in Misc Games Stardock Forums

Stellar Frontier was one of my favorite games a few yearrs ago. I think they could support it with advertising easily, and start putting it out as the ultimate space deathmatch.
