The (incomplete) Thief2 and System Shock2 source code was leaked years ago from a Dreamcast development kit. I imagine a Google search would find you a download. I think I saved a …

A lack of time and energy has a way of killing interest and desire. I expect if you managed to attain or retain more of both of those you’d find some level of passion. And passion …

Setting up the audio propagation in the Thief level editor is super tedious but it’s hard to argue with the results. You draw “Room brushes” (basically boxes) to encompass space an…

I got 1/10… The article shows the percent of people who guessed incorrectly was between 80-90% I wouldn’t be surprised if the images were handpicked out of a set after being found …

I have a couple of PowerMac G5s that I use for retro gaming with my dad. I find them to be fun and nostalgic. I find it really neat when folks are still developing and maintaining …
