Cast Heroes' Feast. Enter prone condition.

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃 I've prepared a new dungeon crawl video that pairs perfectly with any slice of pie. 🥧 In this episode, Eärendil plumbs the depths of the Crypt of Hearts, purging undead and demons (daedra) on his way to the sixth piece of the Staff of Chaos... #ElderScrolls #RetroGaming

A few months ago I spoke about a game I'm assisting on where we have a plan for if the creative director is captured or murdered. This is that game, and Rasheed is that Creative Director. We don't know how the game affects his safety, but he wants to go through regardless. Any support helps!

Little is more predictable than the video game sequel. And yet, some games refuse the easy follow-up. They conceal their nature as sequels, using their subversion as an opportunity to interrogate the player. How much is too much? Will it ever be enough? youtu.be/AI-v60Q-izA

Happy Halloween! 🎃 I've prepared a spooky new #Daggerfall video for you, complete with spiders, skeletons, werewolves, and a vampire...who stands on a lever, then falls to an amusing death. 🧛‍♀️ youtu.be/1sWuVFdhxbI

Drakkhen (1989) | RPG | Various platforms | Infogrames Drakkhen invited players to explore a vast, 3D world filled with mystery, danger, and the ruthless consequences of tempting fate when curiosity makes short work of an unprepared party. Ouch.

Did You Know: Daggerfall introduced the open world system to TES? Although Arena allowed you to travel outside of cities, it wasn't actually possible to travel across Tamriel that way. In Daggerfall, you could actually go anywhere on the map, although this could take a while.

LAUNCHED. And at #1 in Popular Upcoming Releases!!! 🥳🚀✨ I'm exhausted but extremely excited. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 10% launch discount! store.steampowered.com/app/1098770/... 💎

Check out this interview with legendary game dev Jordan Mechner @jmechner.bsky.social, creator of #PrinceOfPersia, on Matt Chat! youtu.be/Z3AhsetRglA

In 1985, I asked my brother David (age 15) to be the rotoscope model for my new game, Prince of Persia. 38 years later, I've made him a (present day) cartoon character in my new graphic novel memoir REPLAY. jordanmechner.com/en/books/rep... Thanks, bro!

In this episode of #ElderScrollsArena, Eärendil the Mage ascends the Crystal Tower, slays a vampire, finds a creepy bestiary, solves a riddle, and retrieves the 5th piece of the Staff of Chaos!

NEW Renegade Cut about Felvidek www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGdHq_VI9Ys

I'm proud to support The Wayward Realms, a modern yet old school action-RPG from @oncelostgames.bsky.social led by legendary devs who worked on the first #ElderScrolls games: Arena and Daggerfall! They're close to their funding goal, so consider making a pledge: www.kickstarter.com/projects/onc...

"The Death is not amused."

Eärendil the Mage #14: In this episode, Eärendil explores the ancient Halls of Colossus in southern Elsweyr, collects six keys (actually seven) for six locked doors, solves two "riddles," and discovers the fourth piece of the Staff of Chaos! #ElderScrolls #LinuxGaming #RetroGaming

I love it when GOG does such things... Watch the 'Making A Game Last Forever' documentary on the resurrection of Alpha Protocol here: youtube.com/watch?v=UBXb...

I got a special gift all the way from the Isle of Man: a #Manx tartan scarf, likely from the wool of Manx Loaghtan sheep! I've developed a keen interest in Manx history, culture, etc., as I have significant Manx ancestry on my mother's side. More images and details: www.instagram.com/p/C23eGo9Rp9x/
