Oh, we have no doubt that Christopher Nolan's new film is very good. But let's get real for a second. We all know the only truly great Odyssey will always be the original. The second one is cool, too.

📖 Bytes of Game Ads 📺 "If you play only one real RPG this year, it has to be... FALLOUT." Ah, the hype, seeing this early ad for Fallout! Remnants of its origin of using the GURPS ruleset remained baked into it even as it shifted to the SPECIAL system. 📺: Next Generation, Feb 1997.

Metro: Exodus / Audio Re-Design / Gameplay The challenging part was keeping the "Geiger" counter loud enough to alert the player of nearby radiation, but keeping it subtle so it doesn't interfere with immersion. How do you deal with gameplay relevant audio? #GameAudio #REAPER #Horror #SoundDesign

One game I played a whole lot as a kid was The incredible Machine, and by far my favorite track from the game was "New Age", since it's so ethereal! Music composed by Tim Clarke and Christopher Stevens and remastered by me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTUn... #theincrediblemachine #gamemusic
