RIP AND TEAR UNTIL IT IS DONE

Xbox has no vision for the future.

@yvonnalynn What is it like for you when you’re playing through the training mode with Crash?

@The_______Cat I like the way you think! 😃

Holy Moly Retro edition! Ran across this while putting together some older photos. Included in here is @L337Lauren who is a twitch streamer by the same name & married to @therealcliffyb (of Gears of War fame) and Angel a US Navy vet who just got her degree from Purdue. I forgot completely about this article from @CNBC . cnbc.com/2009/06/23/mod…

@yvonnalynn Sounds like it was definitely worth the embarrassment because your voice is the guide for all the noobs to learn the basics of what is arguably the greatest arena shooter of all time. That is so fucking cool.

@The_______Cat hahahaha that woulda been awesome! It turned out to be funny and I was fortunate the audio director at id was already a friend and could tell me I was being an idiot LOLOLOL.

Super Monkey Ball x Wolfenstein 3D was not a crossover we expected.

Our Warehouse Jam for @Quake 2 has been released. There are 12 maps in total. You’ve got a brand-new hub and boss map, a secret map and 9 maps to fight through. This includes a remaster of DAZ’s his Warehouse map (from 1999). Time to unpack these crates! tinyurl.com/2jdfrxey

@oh_Nocturnal Grand celebrations on the anniversary of your cunning escape from the womb prison.

Another year older, might have to break out a cane soon. 🧙‍♂️

@deltagame33 This looks like the least confusing game to have an unlocked camera pitch because of how obvious it is which direction you’re moving.

@yvonnalynn What if you had played it off as “getting into character” and said to the VO director “the character’s name is Crash so I wanted to make sure I crash IRL from being out of breath”? At least nobody yelled out “HUMILIATION”, I hope.

So I had done a bit of VO work but not a ton and a friend of mine who was a game audio director, advised me before my session, “ok, Yvonna, just take a deep breath before talking” because he had worked with me before and I’d run out of air. Almost every thing I’ve done was without schooling in that arena so I said, “Ok!” I got to the gig & when I was in the booth… I took a deep breath in, slowly exhaled and began talking. LOLOLOLOL I EXHALED BEOFRE TALKING instead of talking after my inhale. I was thinking my friend was advising me to take a deep breath (in & out) because I’d sounded stressed or something/ not so I’d have enough breath for the lines. The VO director also a friend… helped make everything right but I felt egregiously stupid 😂

@jitspoe LET HIM KOOK

My indie game: - Quake-like retro FPS with chunky pixel aesthetic - Lovecraftian monsters - Steampunk weapons - Bunny hopping, rocket jumping, shotgun jumping, gravity grenade slinging, etc. - Variable gravity with M. C. Escher style level designs - Kick bullets & body surf

Killing the pig mutant in the most immersive sim way possible in RetroSpace demo. - an altered turret that fights for me - an extended puddle that conducts electricity - an active clone ability that attracts attention - a gas pipe that leaks hot steam - powerful magnum & shotgun

@LegitSmurfson Movement speeds are different between TF|2 and Apex so that makes sense. I’m not sure if the Wildcard mode still has the card that gives any Legend the ability to wallrun, but it’d be interesting to see how it feels while boosting off of the newest Legend’s tactical.

@The_______Cat Honestly Apex doesn’t even feel the same - I remember they brought it in through Shadow Royale at Halloween and it just didn’t feel fully right (most likely because of the air accel being different). Titanfall 1 and 2 just feel so great

Coming from someone who's supported Titanfall 2 for the past 9 (almost 10) years through it's thick and thin days, Titanfall 2 is a fantastic shooter to this day and the grind for G100 is great, but it can only hold you over for so long before it feels like you've played everything the game has to offer. I've always wanted a 3rd Titanfall solely so I could relive that feeling of the first few years of Titanfall 2's lifespan, and have something else to strive for. It's part of the reason I leaped on Apex and spent so much time in it - it was a fresh take on the franchise that (unfortunately) didn't evolve into a new Titanfall game, but at least held onto the lore of the 2 Titanfall games throughout it's initial years (and technically is still in the same universe, just not in the direction I was expecting). It's still a fantastic feeling BR game too and one I'd go back to if I'd need a BR to play. Titanfall 2 is a game I come back to time and time again, and always try to find ways to make it feel fresh again (right now these past 6 months through @EladNLG's roguelike mod which is INCREDIBLE), but at the end of the day it's an old game and not everyone is set to grind 3k+ hours in it. Right now it feels like the only thing I have to strive for is reaching G100 (at G92 at the moment) and at times it feels a bit repetitive. Empulse is a fantastic game based off of the playtests I've been apart of - it might not be in the Titanfall franchise per-say, but it's a fresh take on the movement arena shooter genre and one that will bring it's own community and lore to, just like with Splitgate. Playing Empulse won't have me stop playing Titanfall 2 by any means, and if you haven't played Titanfall 2 you absolutely should (fantastic campaign, solid multiplayer, great PvE mode Frontier's Defense, extremely moddable), but I also don't think it's unrealistic for people to not be playing Titanfall 2 and wanting something fresh in the genre, whether it be a spiritual successor (Shatterrush, Empulse, Diesel Knights) or a new game within the franchise. With that being said, imma go play Titanfall 2, AND I'm gonna be playing Empulse at EA launch :) #Titanfall2 #Titanfall

@yvonnalynn Of course I’d like to know as I’m sure any Quake player would.

@The_______Cat Yes indeed! I’m Crash in it . I think in game it’s all OG voices but I got to do the tutorial. If you want a funny story about that recording, I’ll tell you. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever told that story before.

Here's some Perfect Dark multiplayer in VR

@sodaraptor_dev Corruption arcade, very Vinesauce coded.

Had a dream last night after watching Backrooms a second time. Was in an infinitely expanding maze of arcade cabinets. Every one was playable, but the interfaces were gibberish and graphics were garbled. It's like they were all just vague, smeared facsimiles of arcade games.

@Rivilant Not being on Steam was likely a factor.

Why does every game I enjoy die😔

@yvonnalynn I still can’t believe I got it so wrong. Anyway, is the article telling the truth about you doing voice acting for Quake Live?

@The_______Cat I can ask him that instead but I’ll wanna say the stuff about Lauren in my heart 😂

@ChrisRGun x.com/jayhooft/statu…

I actually think I prefer the older color profile to the new one. I like the liminal vibe of Combat Evolved whether it was intentional on Bungie’s artists or not. I’m glad it at least looks nice though because GOOD LORD the 2011 Anniversary remaster was profoundly hideous.

@FriendWhoAsked @MGecko117 Giving the players who bought it exclusive skins should have been the bare minimum. But I feel like the blame has more to do with Nexon, given their history. Anyway, I wish I played it a lot more. Heard that a LAN version exists but it was only used for real world tournaments.

@The_______Cat @MGecko117 I literally bought it a week before it went F2P for the last time, then it did and I was pissed about it, those who actually bought the game gave us (who bought the game) next to nothing. Then since it went F2P we couldn't even refund it, Cliffy B really fucked the players over

Titanfall “successor” but with no speed, no momentum, all the grittiness stripped away, and every edge rounded off into a market analyst approved, generic, mass-appeal, investor-friendly esports art style. It was an open book exam, and they still fumbled it
