Rant 594 / Third DotA Ripoff

Valve, the company that made Half Life 2, CS and the online game store Steam is making now making DotA. Apparently, Icefrog was hired by Valve last year to lead a team to develop the Warcraft III custom map into a full-blown game.

Icefrog must be making some big money now that the 3rd DotA ripoff is being made, and this time with him being the boss.













Just watched Brazil. While all the reviews I've read about it have nothing but praises for this film, I don't like it. Maybe it's because I don't get it, or maybe I just dislike the mind-blowing stupidity of the protagonist.

At one point I was even tempted to stop the film because I couldn't stand that guy's behaviour anymore but I thought I'd give it another chance.

IMO the movie was annoying.














The poor Japanese players won't be getting their New Vegas till November. Unless November in Japan is October in the rest of the world, they're getting it about a week late.

Interesting ad though. The signs are supposed to be criticizing JRPGs like their linear storylines and the need for grinding, things that WRPGs has been avoiding these days.

And this is for consoles. WRPG on consoles. Sad. Can't mod, so it gets boring rather quickly. Meanwhile on the PC we will turn it into a sci-fi porn studio the way Fallout 3 was.
