Oh by the way somebody on twitter pointed out that vsynch is what causes the slow loading bug, because it caps it at the rate that the clicking loading sound for some reason (even though fanpatch 1.3 doesn't seem to have that sound). While I didn't have vsync on, I turned off async refresh and it fixed it, so expect fast loading!

We recorded the second episode like five months ago and I was extremely, extremely drunk while doing it if anyone is wondering why I can't read things/can't understand what's happening.

Also, I'm totally down for BF4 Friday through Sunday morning, no one has been on in like three weeks.

Daikatana is bad but so are all of its contemporaries. Like if I had to say if Daikatana is better or worse than SiN, Kingpin, Unreal, Quake 2, KISS Psycho Circus etc I don't know if I could give an answer. It was a dumb awful time for FPSes that werent multiplayer arenas.
Unreal really doesn't belong on that list. You're also missing pretty amazing stuff like No One Lives Forever, Clive Barker's Undying, Soldier of Fortune (bad game but fun violence engine), loving System Shock 2, etc.
It's not like 1999-2001 was some barren period in FPS games and it sure as hell doesn't excuse Daikatana. Even if you compare it with Quake 2 - which is boring as hell - it comes out as obnoxious, annoying and unplayable where Quake 2 managed to be a perfectly fine multiplayer platform.
Oh, and let's not forget Half-life.

You know what, at least the most glaring problems with Daikatana got patched and now it's a fairly functional bad game. If you want to see the real dogshit check out Blood 2, or You Are Empty, or Mortyr, or Unreal.

You keep throwing Unreal in there like it's as good as Daikatana (at being loving awful) stop trying so hard. Hexen 2 though. There's a masterpiece game in the same line as Daikatana. Blue Shift or Overblood are good contenders too.

Well I happen to be at my parents' right now and look what a 5 minute search of my old bedroom turned up.




I think this was the first PC game I ever owned, a gift from my uncle who didn't know much about videogames but knew that I liked them. My computer at the time couldn't run it so I read the manual a bunch as a kid imagining playing it.

It's like if 15 years from now someone says "That medal of honor reboot from 2011 was terrible!!" like yeah I know it was panned at the time but it's also nearly indiscernible from the other games like it that were not panned.

Unreal is one of my favorite FPS games? I didn't realise people didn't like it?

I actually never played it when it was out, but I came to it in like, 2010. Ended up being absolutely :allears: for the whole feel of the game. Maybe because I grew up playing unreal tournament, I just loving love that style of game, the levels, the enemies, the guns, the music, all of it.

Only thing I don't like is the clunky-rear end controls for the inventory.

No, I said Unreal is as good as Blood 2 and Mortyr, which is much more insulting.

If you thought Quake 2 wasn't aimless or boring enough and had too many good weapons, try Unreal.

Which is funny because Unreal has varied guns, interesting and beautiful environments and an amazing soundtrack. The shooting is on par with Quake 2 but that's not really the focus - and what killed Quake 2 were the parts where Unreal excels.

Unapologetically loving Unreal, yo.

It'd cause a lot of controversy and people would pay a lot of attention to it, so it'd sell really well because everyone decrying it would give it free advertising.
