Is that a 2400 baud modem at the start? Or a 1200?

I'm not going to be playing Artifact, for the simple reason that I'm not good at card games so paying up front for the privilege of losing a lot has limited appeal.

However, it's a lot better than Valve becoming a sequel factory. Yeah, I've got some great nostalgia for the Half-Life series, but it's been a long time since HL 2ep2 came out (and let's be honest, it wasn't fantastic), and I've had loads of great experiences with loads of great games since then. So it's not the end of the world if I don't get Half-Life 3 but something else I like instead. It's okay. I'll just play In the Valley of Gods when it comes out, and maybe whatever other game Valve eventually releases, assuming it appeals to me. And I'll have fun with it, even if it's not a continuation of a fun experience I had fourteen years ago.

And y'know, that's okay. No point getting upset at a card game over it.

Honestly, I'm not seeing Total War in this one. Which is probably the biggest surprise.

The art deco look of the art suggests something Bioshock related, but I'm not sure Bioshock 2 Remastered would bring much in the way of profits for Feral so I'd say that's a long shot. Longer than Skyrim, which it obviously is.

Vaporum has been on my radar for a while, and MidBoss is really tempting. I just have to remind myself that I'm not buying games right now.

I am very fond of MewnBase (unsurprising since I did an article here praising it), so it's great to see the new additions. Have to pull it out again and give it another run.

I haven't played this since about the time the IMPs were introduced (there was only one at the time), and decided to wait until it's done. Guess I should install it and see how the full version plays.

I'm not a fan of those weird camera movements, and what we're able to see in the trailer of the turn-based combat doesn't look like it has much impact. There don't seem to be much weight in any of the moves so it ends up looking kinda dull in that respect.

The walking around the world stuff looks okay, and the action combat looks pretty standard. I gather you're stuck with a pre-made main character, which is kind of a turn-off for me. Maybe worth keeping an eye on, depending on hos it develops.

Wow, this looks GREAT for a shareware game made in 2001!

I'm so shocked I might just take a nap.
