    I've been wondering which one is best to use, if one was trying to make a small RPG with local co-op . I've heard that Unity let's you make any genre of game, while the unreal engine is more used for shooters.

  • Apparently There’s a New .hack Game?

    15 Jan 2012 | 7:41 pm
    This is seriously sad. .hack//Link was announced and repeatedly declared by CC2′s Hiroshi Matsuyama to be the final .hack game. Then it came out and it sucked. So now the company is making another one. The platform isn’t yet revealed, but PS3 and/or Vita are the smart bets, given the visuals in the screenshots and fact that .hack has been PlayStation exclusive since its birth. Famitsu.com also has a few shots of the upcoming CG movie.

No doubt this is done to get people in the mood for FFXIII-2 in a couple weeks.  Do you feel gamey, baby? Devil Survivor: Overclocked on the 3DS is $30 right now at Amazon.com.  Pretty good price…

  • From Card Game to Board Game, Games Workshop Returns to Basics

    19 Jan 2012 | 8:27 am
    One of the greatest contributions that Games Workshop gave the tabletop gaming community were the stand alone games. Some of the best self-contained board games, like Talisman, Hero Quest and Space Hulk were originally created to be an alternate to the larger tabletop systems. Many of the most memorable games were revised and rereleased over the decades. Many of the games however disappeared and would only be supported in a limited capacity through GW's Specialist Games range. The loss of many great games through the 90's was lamented by the long-time GW supporters. The bottom line seemed to…

  • Old Republic: The Force is Insignificant Compared to the Power of Getting Down

    4 Jan 2012 | 11:17 am
    Update: Bioware has told 1UP that there have been no bans, sanctions, or even warnings against players who used the exploit. The image circulating of a ban notification appears to be a hoax.   Players find bugs by the dozen in freshly launched MMOs like Star Wars: The Old Republic. Though EA issued a patch last night; until yesterday typing "/getdown" interrupted enemy's attacks -- and showed off your character's sick dance moves. As demonstrated in the video below, this ability even worked against bosses. It's not clear how widespread the bug became before the patch, however a…

  • The Old Republic: Tatooine's Dune Sea of Boredom

    3 Jan 2012 | 9:57 am
    I never want to see another sand dune in my life. After spending the past few days in Star Wars: The Old Republic on Tatooine, the planet's endless brown sameness threatens to put me to sleep. The desert world hosts massive areas that can take forever to cross even with my speeder. I didn't mention it in my last post, but after hitting level 25 I earned the ability to buy a very expensive (40,000 credits) drivers licence speeder combo. The vehicle boosts my movement speed by 90%, and when I first bought it I enjoyed navigating the Imperial Fleet that much quicker. Unfortunately, the…

  • The Old Republic: The Trials of the Nicest Sith in the Universe

    29 Dec 2011 | 9:47 am
    While I didn't mention it in any of my previous posts, I'm playing through Star Wars: The Old Republic as a Light Side loving Sith. Since the game offers both Empire and Republic players the option of being good or evil, I thought I should check out what life is like for evil Jedi and good Sith -- the short answer: It's not easy. In addition to the constant ridicule by other Imperials and my companions, my own "sweetest Sith in the galaxy" regularly comes across equipment only useable by Dark Side players. Lightsaber after armor after implant slips through my hands, and there…

    A certain game company has announced that a new edition of their game will be released sometime in the next year or two. They say they will be talking to everyone about what this new edition will be like. And when it is finally out, everyone will have to buy new rulebooks, adventures, player aids etc to play the game. With 6d6, the people who play the game literally get to shape its future. They can edit the rules via the wiki and the 6d6 Crew have no more control over the future of the game than any other member. Also with 6d6, you don’t need to spend more money when a new edition…

Getting this working with SVG was pretty easy but it turns out that a key feature I need is missing. Specifically being able to mix bitmap images (jpg etc) with SVG so I can mix images and text directly from 6d6 Online. Though SVG supports bitmaps the PDF generator we use, MPDF, does not allow bitmaps within SVGs. I have a work-around. Using the bitmap as a CSS background to a transparent SVG image. The trouble is that this…
