Very interesting. Gotta keep an eye on Korsakovia. Seems like my kinda game

Actually I meant that both Tsukihime and Fate stay/night are both as generic as it gets, and as generic as it gets for anime is
pretty fucking bad. But I guess your version works too.
I knew that's what you were meaning but I thought I'd elaborate on why pulling out the
Citizen Kane comparisons everytime a game attempts to tackle a mature subject matter is completely missing the point.

On that, I have this feeling that to have a real breakthrough in gaming, whoever develops it, their goal can't be to "entertain", not for its own sake. They probably need some other kind of well thought out agenda, and the game is just their vehicle. Anyway, if you look at really breakthrough periods and works in other fields like the novels of the Lost Generation, or Japanese cinema in the 50s; there was just the right a meeting of people and agenda that came together, right when they had the right tools and environment for it to make a dent in the culture.
And I think a lot of people that go into making games can't wrap their head around that idea, that you could possible go into making a game for some purpose other than just to entertain your audience.

Lol. People getting confused over what is a bug and what is design these days.
When i played thief i thought SHAS made perfect sense. I mean raiding tombs is not exactly relaxing. But thief 1 was so perfect that even it's flaws (backstabbing haunts) are perceived as features. Why not a bug?

It's currently with final playtesters - all fully compiled and ready to go, but needs checking for final snags. With a bit of luck, there'll only be a couple of hours work to do (if that), then all I need to do is try and get rhe installer working so we're not just unpacking a zip this time...
EDIT: ehh, next week after all :(

Heck, that thread worth much more than all the hype around HL2/Source/Steam. I was thinking about getting Portal/TeamFortress2/Orange Box since their release, but i was never so inclined to buy any of them. But now, i'm determined, tomorrow i'll join the Steam (and just because of these mods.)
Thanks folks to draw my attention to them!

I won't be able to play it for a while. :(
Looking forward to impressions of this from you folks. I'm interested in what kind of territory this one explores, and how differently.
