MCM Glasgow Comic-Con 2017, I’ll Be There

Two years ago I attended my first Comic-Con event in Glasgow, Scotland, and dutifully wrote down my experience on this very site. So I’m pleased to say that MCM have invited me back, arming my sorry hide with a press pass and giving me free reign to annoy the poor public by taking pictures of them in embarrassing situations. Good stuff.

This year the star guest for me is easily Troy Baker, the voice behind numerous videogame characters, including Joel from The Last of Us, Batman in the Telltale series and Booker DeWitt from BioShock Infinite. That’s a hell of a resume.

With that said my favorite part of my last visit was the amazing costumes. There are people who put some serious work into crafting detailed recreations of some of their favorite characters, and meeting those people is simply awesome. I’m armed with a better camera for this visit, so hopefully I’ll get some wonderful pictures to share with you.

Like before I may also try to snag some comics and do a few reviews. Despite my love of comics (you really need to be reading DC’s Super Sons, by the way) I don’t tend to talk about them here, so a comic-con is a good excuse to feature some interesting books.

The MCM Comic-Con takes place in Glasgow, Scotland on the 23rd and 24th of September. You can check out the site and book tickets by visiting: http://www.mcmcomiccon.com/scotland/

Lisboa Board Game Review

Designed by: Vital Lacerda Published by: Eagle Gryphon Games Players: 1-4 Playtime: 60-120 Minutes Review copy supplied free of charge by Asmodee UK Jesus Christ, I have absolutely no idea where to even start with Lisboa, the latest table-hogging, mind-destroying eurogame from the highly respected Vital Lacerda. I’ve reviewed one game from Vital previously and utterly adored its lavish production values and stellar gameplay, but damn was it hard to review simply due to the way every mechanic tied to everything else. To explain one thing meant having to digress into about a billion other things before stumbling back to the original topic like a drunk emerging from a pub lock-in. It was confusing. Lisboa is just as complex and tricky to discuss, so please forgive me as I muddle through talking about Lacerda’s latest attempt to turn my already worryingly overheating brain into a melting pot of pink goo. The entire game is based around Lisbon, which is actually Lacerda’s hometown an...

Seriously Lazy Colonists

Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC Reviewed On: PC Developer: Mothership Entertainment Publisher: Team17 Singleplayer: Yes Multiplayer: No Review code provided free of charge by the publisher. My love of sci-fi mingles with my enjoyment of ruining people’s lives through ineffectual planning and general stupidity in Aven Colony, which takes the joys of constructing a city and then throws a thin science fiction theme at it in the vague hopes it’ll stick. Coming from a small team of just five people I wanted to be very clear about my feelings before we even jump in; it’s a good game, and such a small team should be damn proud to have built it from the ground up. They’ve got a bloody good future ahead of them. At its core Aven is a very safe city-building/management game where you’ll be juggling your people’s desires for a short commute to work with having enough farms to feed them all, power to keep everything running, a constant water supply and even policing to ensure crime is kept t...

Fans Are Trying To Remake Dino Crisis In Unreal Engine 4

Screenshot: Team Arklay (YouTube) Debuting 20 years ago this month in Japan, Capcom’s short-lived Dino Crisis series asked, “What if dinosaurs instead of zombies?” Now, some fans have taken it upon themselves to remake Dino Crisis using Unreal Engine 4. The first Dino Crisis game remains a bright spot in the PS1 catalog, and despite the longing of fans eager to see it reemerge all these years later, it wasn’t part of the PlayStation Classic’s library and isn’t available as part of any HD collection. Given the anniversary, this seemed like as good a year as any for Capcom to announce some sort of remake similar to Resident Evil 2, but E3 came and went without any news. No wonder, then, that the modder group Team Arklay has taken it upon themselves to try and give Dino Crisis a second life in Unreal Engine 4. As first spotted by DSO Gaming, the team has been releasing videos of its work on YouTube in recent weeks. The latest includes a deep dive into eerie, steel-plated hallways. There ...
