Disclosure Alert: Alpha Protocol: Episode 7: Mike Hates Sean Doorcy

In this episode, we piss off Darcy, break into a weapons stockpile, and have a brush with Glitch.Let it be said that I really, really dislike Darcy. While he has an interesting backstory and character, it does ever go anywhere. And as previously stated, his relationship to Mike is one of the most...

Disclosure Alert: Alpha Protocol: Episode 5: Canadian Christmas Trees

Disclosure Alert: Alpha Protocol: Episode 5: Canadian Christmas Trees

I apologize in advance for the quality of the recordings this week. Our mission in Saudi Arabia was fraught with peril. And by that, I mean Aldowyn's roommates wouldn't shut up, the Skype call went down a few times, and the game glitched on us more than once. Fun stuff!Intel is really one...
Disclosure Alert: Alpha Protocol: Episode 4: Our Chance to Seduce Yancy

Disclosure Alert: Alpha Protocol: Episode 4: Our Chance to Seduce Yancy

This episode is a rather dialog heavy one, where we finally leave the Greybox and head to the mission hub in Saudi Arabia. Also, Yancy gives us the low down on Alpha Protocol's most important mechanic: dialog.Yancy's conversation here highlights what anaphysik and I were talking about: There are no...

#56: The Timeless Question: What is an RPG?

Most of you out there know that I love to talk about video games. I derive pleasure from discussing what makes certain games work, where they go wrong, whether or not their stories make sense, and so on. Out of all of the questions related to video games that one could asked, there exists two that...

Disclosure Alert: Alpha Protocol: Episode 3: Sweeping Up the Park-er

In this episode of Disclosure Alert, we continue on to the game's last orientation: The Stealth Orientation.One interesting fact worth noting is that the Stealth orientation is almost the complete opposite of the Gadget one. While the scored section of Gadget training can be completed without...
Disclosure Alert: Alpha Protocol: Episode 2: Gettin' Darsey With Us

Disclosure Alert: Alpha Protocol: Episode 2: Gettin' Darsey With Us

Because a lot of people were requesting that we post the videos on a blog, and since I am nothing if not shamelessly trying to attract an audience to this site, I have decided to post updates on this site as well. So without further ado:This episode really highlights one of Alpha Protocol's biggest...
Not an Article, but a plug for some of my other stuff.

#55: Dishonored: The “Non-Lethal” Option and the Inherent Flaws

(A Spoiler Warning is in effect on Dishonored and the entirety of its campaign.)Recently, I went back and complete my high chaos, highly lethal playthrough of Dishonored. While this playthrough made me feel like a complete jerk (thanks to all of the destruction and devastation I caused) it also...
#54: Why Game Companies Should Stay Out of Used Games

#54: Why Game Companies Should Stay Out of Used Games

The other day, I had a discussion with a friend of mine over the impact of used game sales on the profits of game developers. While we argued for quite a long time on the subject, a lack of data led to a stalemate. Having said that, it made me start thinking about used games. I have always been a...
