When it comes to Russia in 2024, not a lot can shock us any more - the country has reportedly lost at least 70,000 soldiers in Ukraine and it seems ready to lose many more. The reality is horrifying enough. Yet, when I read this week that a Russian military supplier was issuing soldiers with purity seals (protective religious talismans from Warhammer 40k), specially blessed by military priests and printed with ********** psalms, my gut twisted. My favorite silly sci-fi wargame is being cynically spliced into a very real, very appalling war. Read the rest of the story...

And given what studio co-founder Gabe Newell has to say on the subject in a 2-hour documentary that the company released in tandem with the update, it seems less likely than ever that we’ll be seeing either follow-up anytime soon. Newell explains what he calls his “personal ********” near the end of the video (at this timestamp): You can’t get lazy and say, “oh, we’re moving the story forward.” That’s copping out of your obligatiion to gamers, right? Yes, of course they love the story. They love many, many aspects of it. But sort of saying that your... Continue reading… View the full article

Next up from Obsidian is Avowed, a Skyrim-style fantasy adventure filled with branching narratives, vibrant landscapes, and a huge open world to explore, but we've still got a few months to wait before we can play it.

It sucks when you love a multiplayer game that no one else ever wants to play. As a **** I loved the card game War, but no one would ever play it with me, probably because it's a genuinely terrible game which is entirely luck-based, so it's really just gambling (which may have been why I loved it, now that I think about it). As a teenager I always wanted to play Running Bases (Pickle) but everyone else was into ********* hoops or touch football. Lame... Read more.View the full article
