That's one of those proverbs you always expect to be figurative, not literal.

Episode 282:

Many GMs ignore weather when running their games. Everything seems to happen on a perpetually fine late spring day when it's never too cold or too hot.

This is a mistake. Just think of all the combat penalties you can heap on players fighting on slippery ground, with wet hair flicking into their eyes, lightning temporarily blinding them, and water getting onto their bowstrings or into their electrically powered weapons.

Star Wars Republic Commando Retrospective

  • Jul. 12th, 2009 at 9:05 AM

Will Porter from Eurogamer has posted an article in which he takes a look back at LucasArts' first-person shooter, Star Wars Republic Commando.

Quote:

The squad dynamics of Republic Commando remain exemplary - they're clear, obvious, fluid and easy to use. Most importantly though, in Republic Commando your squad is a necessity rather than a gang of liabilities trailing around after you reminding you to reload. The AI (perhaps aided by the game's limited corridor confines) rarely falters, while the ploy of providing many and varied sniping positions and grenade spots to bind your charges to while working your way round vast sci-fi hangars provides a tangible tactical edge.
Note: Star Wars Republic Commando is one of the LucasArts titles recently released on Steam.

(This may seem like a long trip, but this is just how my brain works sometimes.)</p>

So, I'm channel-surfing the other day, and see Jon Stewart doing something goofy with a bunch of fake coffee products. This reminds me of  those old coffee commercials starring Anthony Head, who, of course played Sydney's contact on the short-lived -- but much loved -- VR.5. (He was also on some show about killing vampires.) He's the brother of Murray Head, who sang lead on "One Night In Bangkoc," from the concept album "Chess." Of course, I'm terrible at chess, so that reminded me of . . .</p>

. . . Knightmare Chess 2, which is currently available. Some would say, "But I need the first set!" and they'd be wrong, wrong, wrong. KMC2 is a standalone game, adding just as much insanity to the venerable game of chess as its slightly older brother.</p>

No matter if you're a beginner or a registered Master, Knightmare Chess is a great way to add some fun chaos to the traditional game. And as you may have guessed, I'm a big fan of chaos . . .</p>
