New video! From 1998 to 2011, "KS" created a series of maps and mods for Quake and Half-Life that embrace an unlikely fusion of first person shooter with surreal art, film, architecture, and, naturally, anime girls. youtu.be/M8Dr2CxUeME

NEW VIDEO: Phoenix Games is beyond notorious for releasing metric tons of garbage for the the PlayStations 1 and 2, sometimes in compilations of asset flips.
What if, though, one of these games was kinda... okay? And how would such a thing be possible?

Forever a little sad that my Kaworu essay didn’t get many views. It's one of my better videos, I think. www.youtube.com/watch?v=51FD...

I read and watched all of To Love-Ru, and it compelled me to make a 2.5 hour long video about everything from how hot women are, to the joys and pains involved in learning what it means to be a human after a lifetime of isolation and trauma

i covered this in a vid last year and it's truly special.
every single enemy has their own unique "fatality" type video that plays when they kill you, there's a wonky horse you can flip like a halo warthog, there's a class called sewer rat that fights with trash, highly recommended for the freaks!

I know I said it before only a few days ago, but... New King's Field just dropped.
Not had a chance to try this one yet, but it looks to have a bit more Souls-like style to it, plus some character action aspects. Juggle combos and higher mobility combat, etc.

Rewatched CAVEAT (2020) and loved it so much this time.
It's like a scary 90's point and click adventure game inspired by the paintings of Dragan Bibin.

Brush Burial: Gutter World is OUT NOW.
it's a lite immersive sim with tightly interconnected levels, a melee combat system based on positioning and counterattacks, and almost a hundred cosmetics to unlock.
you can get it on Steam, and play the demo there as well.

also it's unfortunate that Alyx is kinda prohibitive to play because it's absurdly good. played it a couple years after it came out on my sister's headset and it's absolutely as big of a jump as HL1 to HL2. it effectively *is* half life 3, just not many people have played it to realize this lol

i've been thinking about this since finishing Alyx and honestly i think if there *is* a new half-life, they'll just release a non VR version of Alyx along with the announcement of 3
if they did actually make half life 3 whats the percentage of people that play it and get really confused because a vr game that no one has access too changed the cliffhanger to a completely different one
