GCP – Episode 96Posted July 20, 2010, Comments (11) |
Chris Parsons of Muzzy Lane Software drops by to discuss their grand strategy game Making History II. While on “The Playground,” we explore the relationship of movie writing to game writing. And the return of “Pansy or Not Pansy.”
Pansy or not pansy, I think the other name for it was pussy or not pussy. Correct or not?
Not correct.
The original name was the sort of people that don’t like “pussy or not pussy.”
Bingo! I got ya shooter.
I never play evil roles. Tried it with Fallout, always felt bad. I can’t get into that whole “be someone totally opposed to who you actually are” thing. I can’t do it. I feel like I have to do what I would actually done in that situation.
Games are an extension to true reality—abandoning one’s real morals for enjoyment because of no consequences is a truly powerful thing. But I think one should re-evaluate their beliefs if it’s that easy to drop it on a whim, even if it’s in a fictitious reality. Perhaps they aren’t strong enough?
The other day I was playing Fallout3 and after rescuing Riley’s Rangers, I slaughtered them. Then I picked up the dead corpses arranged them around a table and put Riley’s head in the middle. That was maybe the sickest thing I have ever done in a game. I felt really weird after.
I always play evil characters, except in Bioshock. That was the only game I felt funny being evil.
I feel remorse when I’m evil but those emotions make the game better for me.
Speaking of Phantasy Star, I cried when Alys died. Not since. Never. Not at all.
I want to see Inception as many times as I can, I’ve been waiting since May.
Blacklight Tango Down seems like a good game, I might donwload it from an illegal filesharing website to see what it is like before I buy it.
I highly recommend not doing this.
I just thought of an awesome free fps game you should try out. It is called Urban Terror
Urban Terror is fantastic. We played it a bunch a few years ago and even had our own server.
