"Mark Darrah couldn't say no to anybody."
One of the reasons Baldur's Gate 2 has some of the most memorable spell mechanics in gaming is that @markdarrah.bsky.social was always down to do more. In this clip Trent marvels at his willingness to code Chain Contingency. Full Vid ⬇️

Chris Avellone believes Obsidian has already moved on to Avowed 2 and I'm very conflicted about this. I enjoyed TOW2 significantly more than Avowed but I still looked forward to where Obsidian would go with it.
This also makes me wonder what are Obsidian's reasons for moving on so quickly. ⬇️

Patch is only in beta but I'm calling it now: Pillars of Eternity is much more enjoyable in Turn Based than it was using RTwP. Some issues to work out but I'm REALLY excited to do a new playthrough.
Lining up Durance behind the frontline to use reach is so much easier now.

Without question episodes 5 & 6 of Dispatch lived up to the level of quality we have come to expect from the game. What a wild ride and CRAZY ending. I cannot wait to experience the finale next week.

The Verge's review of TOW2 notes Microsoft's ties to Israel in a way that's meant to disparage Obsidian and by extension the game.
I find that unfair but I see some people calling it brave. Here's a clip from today's video exploring the subject and seeking more clarity. Full video is below.

Just saw Frankenstein in theatres and it was PURE CINEMA. Incredible acting, gripping story, and fantastic writing. The makeup & wardrobe team also did an outstanding job.
Probably a little longer than it needed to be but still well worth seeing at the movies.

To celebrate 25 years of Baldur's Gate 2, DM Wyvern and I will be conducting an interview with David Gaider, Trent Oster, and Ed Greenwood.
If you have any thoughts on what would be good questions let me know. The interview won't be live but we will release two videos for it sometime next month.

The Kickstarter for Legacy of Valor starts tomorrow. Anybody else thinking about giving it a whirl? Castle building, large scale battles, and an expansive narrative sounds like a lot but hopefully they can pull it off.

Not my type of game so I'll probably never play this but it was ABSOLUTELY my pleasure to support it. Kudos to the mod team. The coddling of psychotic man children must stop.

Many of you mentioned you wished the Starfinder: Afterlight game was going to have more than six classes. They just announced adding Technomancer as the next goal. :)

Man the Starfinder: Afterlight Kickstarter is STILL going strong and now almost sits at 350K!
Two more tiers are almost complete. Sounds like this game is going to have quite a bit of voice acting which is phenomenal.

No clue where the goals go from here. Maybe more companions?

There's a new goal on the Starfinder: Afterlight Kickstarter! Having all the main villains fully voice acted would be AMAZING!
Currently they are sitting at 155K so there's a good chance this target will be met. :)

Not only is the project fully funded but they already hit the 100K Skittermander goal as well! Wow it looks like there's a LOT of hype for a new Starfinder game. Looking forward to covering it more for all of you. :)

I will definitely play Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles when it comes out at the end of the month.

My channel has repeatedly brought up Tactics Ogre: Reborn and that I should give it a try. For the past couple of streams I've been checking it out and holy cow it's been so much fun. This is my first Tactics game and turns out I might be a fan of the genre.

My little brother sent this to me today. Not my birthday or anything just did it out of love. I remember when he had no money and would use up all the damn gas in my car. Now he's balling out of control and randomly sends me nerd stuff. It's amazing to watch people level up.

Last night I got a chance to livestream the Esoteric Ebb Steam demo. NO QUESTION I'll be playing this game when it comes out. Incredible art and fantastic character creation combined with a great premise. It's looking like a must buy for fans of both D&D and Disco Elysium.

I have been avoiding talking about the EA CEO's recent comments on Veilguard & Bioware because it's all so exhausting to watch. We already know what they want to do to ME5.
But of course David Gaider found a way to make it hilarious. Link to the full video below
