Long tail viral marketing, piracy DRM copyright publisher shareholder, tip jar underserved market, or I'll eat my hat.

I think Dante's Inferno might be trying too hard.

Also, the Scythe is really stupid.

I am a man of many tastes. Breasts aren't one of them.

Death's Scythe doesn't strike me as being all that difference from the Nanobreaker guy's weapon (but Death's Scythe can do whatever it wants).

That said, it's a DMC-esque game, so I'll probably play it and enjoy it despite blatant pampering to the hormonal white male crowd (not that this bothers me).

Bethesda sues Interplay over Fallout

Interplay countersues Bethesda over Fallout

Quote

By way of its countersuit, Interplay seeks a declaration that it continues to hold and make use of its licensing rights under the APA and TLA. In the alternative, the publisher seeks that Bethesda's purchasing agreement from 2007 be rescinded, and all Fallout rights return to Interplay. The company has also petitioned the court to award it royalties it would be due under Bethesda's original licensing agreement from 2004, a figure it estimates at $15 million thanks to the highly successful Fallout 3.

Part of me has the primal instinct to root for the underdog, but it's not going to. Ever since I listened to the interview with the Star Trek game guy in episode 77 of Retronauts, I find it impossible to ignore the fact that Interplay is run by moronic douchebags who would be all be chugging on a Bag of Infinite Dicks if there was any justice in the world.

...which one's the underdog, now?

In what capacity does Interplay even exist anymore? I thought they were just the heading on a particular set of debts some company had inherited.

Deja vu, in some regards.

They were supposed to work on a Fallout MMO, and use the money they got from selling the actual Fallout IP to Bethesda to do that and also restart some of their other franchises, but that money is gone now, and who knows where it went. They've announced some things, according to their news page, but it's strictly small time. Earthworm Jim for iPhones and Boogerman on Virtual Console aren't going to earn them enough cash to make a competitive MMO.

I didn't notice these before, but here's some Mass Effect 2 screens. New Alien Race, a New Krogan and... what the fuck is she wearing? I don't even know.

Burrito Al Pastor · « **Reply #1712 on:** October 24, 2009, 06:05:00 PM »

It appears to be a bra fashioned entirely from suspenders.

I'm all for the DIY aesthetic, but this seems like it's taking it a little too far.

Partial nudity INDEED!

Okay, if Bioware is going to insist on putting all this nookie in their games they really need to get away from this uncanny valley nightmare fodder

Bal · « **Reply #1715 on:** October 25, 2009, 11:23:02 AM »

Maybe that's why I thought Asari was better looking than Ashley in Mass Effect. As an alien she's less apt to enter the uncanny valley.Either that or years of Star Trek have given me a head make-up fetish.

Brentai · « **Reply #1716 on:** October 25, 2009, 11:26:20 AM »

If you're given a world full of beautiful, exotic alien beings to fuck, it'd be kind of a waste of time to just put your penis in the nearest human female.

But there is no Johnny Depp in space.
