I'm sure its already finished and Phil Fish is just slightly altering all the textures out of obsessive compulsion or changing all the dialogue to "Go fuck yourself" and "Suck my dick".

Met DC Douglas the voice of Wesker surprisingly and I HAD to get at him. I told him Wesker was one of my all time favorite villains in anything and an inspiration for own ideas in evil characters.
He read out my brother's shirt in Wesker's voice, "Keep calm, and kill zombies!" Which seemed kinda strange but it was awesome. |

Met him as in a con or as in "I saw him buying toilet paper and pushed an old lady to the ground to get at him."?

A new direction? They've been going in every possible direction except straight up crime story. Is the next game going to be Dragnet?

They could really swerve people by actually trying to make it a serious narrative again. Otherwise yeah, I can't imagine where it can go to be different other than being either an MMO.

If they did that, everyone that's enjoyed what they've done with it so far would complain. Time travel would be a new direction. You travel between the prohibition era and the modern era and stuff happens. Fun stuff.

Thanks to all the sales happening throughout the year, my wallet is hopefully spared a massive loss due to a Steam sale. Instead, there were several smaller chunks lost

Any of you guys hear/read about that story in Eve Online about the supership getting destroyed?
Just curious because it's like it came out of a Tom Clancy novel. |
