I didn't want to get into the specifics, but...

...basically daydreaming and making stupid loops with my mouse touch pad before confirmation...then I just clicked without paying any mind.

I owned up to it immediately after it occurred. 

What God Do You Worship in Eora?

Abydon is the god of crafting and the forge and patron of the Knights of the Crucible. Followers of Abydon should work hard, value the work of others and teach students their craft.

Berath is the god of death, doors, and the wheel of reincarnation itself. Portrayed as either a genderless deity or twinned male and female incarnation, Berath seldom speaks with their followers. Their priests are expected to be rational and unemotional, treating death with a dispassionate dignity.

Eothas is the god of renewal and light. He is often represented as a young man holding a candle and wearing a crown of shining silver or as his messengers, the Dawnstars.

Galawain is patron of the hunt in all its forms. He is also protector of wild places and untamed wilderness, where the hunt manifests in its purest form as a daily struggle for survival.

Hylea is the goddess of birds, the sky, child-birth and creative inspiration.

Magran is the goddess of war, fire and trials. Her followers are known as Magranites, popularly known for their boldness and quick wits. Her priests commonly employ firearms and her symbol is a flame in the Aedyr Empire and the flaming bomb in Dyrwood.

Ondra is the goddess of all seas and oceans, who according to legend was in love with the moon. She is venerated by fishermen, sailors, those who live near water, and those who mourn loss - especially love.

Woedica is a deity known by many names, including "The Exiled Queen," "The Burned Queen," "Oathbinder," and "The Strangler." Her domains include law, justice, oaths and promises, (rightful) rulership, hierarchies, memory, and vengeance.

Rymrgand is the god of all manifestation of erosion and collapse, e.g. death, famine, plague, or simple bad luck. In particular instances, his dominion and will have been linked to the idea of entropy, that is the inevitable unravelling of all things organized towards some universally sterile, still and "cold" state of equilibrium.

Wael is the patron of dreams, secrets, mysteries, and revelations.

Skaen, known also as the Quiet Slave, is the god of secret hatred, resentment, and violent rebellion.

Fuck The Deities/Gods

I did vote Day One for this one. 

I picked what I thought would be a short RPG to cram in before Avowed releases.  I won't play it early, I have the 18th set in for my deadline/day one. 

Started this one a few weeks ago.  It's already going to take me longer than I thought it would.

Considering I've been sporting it in my avatar, I better pick it up.

Still pretty sore about no physical copy.

Some of the studios who will be a part of the ID@Xbox showcase.

• 11 Bit
• BigFan
• Critical Reflex
• Daedalic
• Game Source Entertainment
• No More Robots
• Panic
• Playstack
• Raw Fury
• Thunderlotus
• Cult Games
• Team17
• Curve
• Akapura
• Don't Nod

Interesting to note REPLACED's developer and/or publisher aren't listed.  Figured it'd be a shoe-in for it.

For Daedalic, hopefully The Night of the Rabbit gets an Xbox date.  I betcha Mouthwashing gets an console trailer too.

In collaboration with Clyde Henry Productions, this South of Midnight stop motion video was created using real puppets, handcrafted maquettes, and a traditional stop motion animation technique.

Two takeaways here:
1) Steam has become a bright spot for many game-makers as console sales have flattened.
2) Console exclusives will become obsolete soon, especially for third-party publishers.

Just started chapter 6/6 of Hellblade 2. I put this down last year after the first hr as it was just so goddamn slow. Funny enough … it still slow as shit but my god!! It becomes a visual and audio fucking feast!. As a “game” it sucks, just straight up but as an experience it’s one of the best I’ve played.
