I have to disagree with Jeff, I'm afraid. Death threats and horrible actions have been flowing both ways, and it's essentially unfair to paint one side with the actions of a few, but ignore the actions of the other. To dismiss ethical concerns as "farcical" is deeply unfair, and those comments on the podcast have forced me to cease my financial support of GB.

I wish y'all the best, and mean no ill will. I just have to put my money where my mouth is, and your statements have been uninformed and biased, no matter what conciliatory language you couch them in.

I feel like her videos make leaps of logic that I can't agree with. That and her tendency to take things out of context to suit her narrative have made me not a huge fan of her work. That being said, the people harassing her (or anyone else, for that matter) shouldn't.

There's a brutalize ability you can unlock when you get an ability point so spend. On the PC, you right click when they're highlighted in red (i.e. when you'd normally stealth kill or brand them), and that brutalizes them. No idea what it is on a controller.

AMD Phenom II X4 925 2.8 ghz, nVidia 450 GTS, 4 gigs of ram. Below the minimum specs listed on the Steam page, but it runs at a solid 60. This is in 720 with lowest settings, mind.

Talion keeps coming back, so it's only fair that the Orcs get in on the resurrection action too!

It doesn't load for me. Just sits there pulsing "Loading". Hrm.

Happy birthday Jeff!

If there are three difficulties, normal. If there are four, hard.

I'm not sure why everyone is treating cloning like some new thing. It's not -- it's almost as old as gaming. I suspect what made Threes! more attractive to clone was that it was initially iOS exclusive for a while. It's probably more prevalent with mobile games because mobile games are usually conceptually simpler. But if someone gave me a choice between an industry with cloning or without? I would choose with. There's too much value in iterative design to let someone 'own' a game style. What if the creators of Rogue could stop the iteration on their design?
