There is some prep to be done for Morrie's whole thing. But man, who can't help but crack a smile when Morrie is on screen? And who can turn down that face when he asks you to make it to the top? Let's go monster hunting!

Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge - DLC Aircraft Ideas

I know some people are gonna look at this and say "WTF man, Crimson Skies came out in 2003... it's not getting any new content!"

True. But there's always a possibility- however small- that the game could be re-released on modern consoles, or (God willing) get a full-blown remake. In which case, the devs could always add new planes.

The original PC game had 17 playable aircraft, most of which did not make it into the Xbox game. Only 2 planes, the Devastator and the Brigand, would ship with the game. 4 others would be added as DLC for online multiplayer only.

I picked out 7 aircraft from the original PC game that I would like to see added if Crimson Skies gets a remake, and outlined what class I think they should be, and what weapons they could have.

It'll probably never happen, but hey... I can dream. And remember, Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge was one of the top 5 game on the OG Xbox Live, right alongside Halo 2 and Star Wars: Battlefront II. So I'd say it has a better chance of getting a remake than most.

Whittly & Douglas M210

Raven

Class: Interceptor

Primary Weapon: Six Machine Guns

Secondary Weapon: RF-Guided "Beeperless" Seeker Rockets

Secondary Ammunition: 20 Rockets

A fast and agile fighter with six machine guns and highly accurate radio-guided Seeker Rockets that track targets aggressively. Seeker Rockets function like the Halo 2 Rocket Launcher; hold down the trigger to lock on to enemies, and release to fire.

The name of the Seeker Rocket is a reference to the "Beeper-Seeker" rocket from Crimson Skies lore. Whereas the Beeper-Seeker uses a two-stage system, firing a high-velocity "Beeper" rocket that emits a radio signal, followed up with a high-explosive "Seeker" rocket that homes in on that signal, these new rockets are able to track their targets without the need for a beeper unit; hence, "Beeperless".

Grumman E-1C

Avenger

Class: Dogfighter

Primary Weapon: Eight Machine Guns

Secondary Weapon: "Detonator III" Incendiary Rockets

Secondary Ammunition: 15 Rockets

Armed with more machine guns than any other plane in the game, along with a secondary rocket that sets enemy planes on fire for damage over time. So you get the best of the Devastator and the Bandito all in one plane.

Curtiss-Wright P2

Warhawk

Class: Zep-Killer

Primary Weapon: Four "Scorpion" Cannons

Secondary Weapon: Dual Triggers

Based on Paladin Blake's customized Warhawk from the tie-in novel, this modified Warhawk is outfitted with four standard cannons that fire in pairs, just like the Dauphin and the Bulldog. However, when the Left Trigger is held, all four cannons will fire simultaneously at an increased rate of fire for massive damage.

Hughes Aviation

Bloodhawk

Class: Interceptor

Primary Weapon: Four Machine Guns

Secondary Weapon: XL-1 "Lancer" Laser Cannon

Secondary Ammunition: 100 Battery Charge

The standout feature of the Bloodhawk is it's secondary laser, which is extremely accurate and has unlimited ammo, but has to recharge it's battery after firing for long periods of time. Ammo starts and 100 and counts down to 0 as you fire. The longer you fire, the longer it takes to fully recharge.

McDonnell S2B

Kestrel

Class: Zep-Killer

Primary Weapon: Five Cannons

Secondary Weapon: Aerial Torpedoes

Secondary Ammunition: 15 Torpedoes

Turret: Twin Cannons

As pure a Zep-Killer as can be, the Kestrel boasts five rapid-fire cannons, as well as two more cannons in a rear turret a la the Brigand. It's secondary weapon is a rocket-propelled Aerial Torpedo that deals tremendous damage to zeppelins, but has no magnetic lock-on, making it all but useless against enemy planes.

However... if you do somehow manage to score a hit on an enemy plane with the Aerial Torpedo (whether by skill, or dumb luck) it's a 1-hit kill no matter how high your opponents armor rating.

Bell Mk. II

Valiant

Class: Zep-Killer

Primary Weapons: Six Cannons

Secondary Weapon: Grenade Launcher

Secondary Ammunition: 30 Grenades

An exceptional Zep-Killer with six cannons right out of the box, and a secondary grenade launcher. Grenades deal massive damage to zeppelins and ground targets, but are less useful against enemy planes than other Zep-Killer weapons.

Marquette PR-1

Defender

Class: Interceptor

Primary Weapons: Six Machine Guns

Secondary Weapon: "Flyswatter" Flak Rockets

Secondary Ammunition: 20 Rockets

A capable fighter in the right hands, the Defender is armed with six machine guns and Flak Rockets. Flak Rockets have the damage of the Devastator's Magnetic Missiles with the projectile speed of the Bandito's Fireball Cannon, making them highly accurate and easy to use.

Experience the Dreamlike Landscapes of Chasing the Unseen

Chasing the Unseen a single-player adventure game is Steam Deck Verified with Linux via Proton and Windows PC. Thanks to Strange Shift Studio's remarkable talent shines through in their work. Which is already available on Steam. Chasing the Unseen is a single-player adventure that's now fully compatible indie title that is now Steam Deck Verified. Adding more value to Valve's portable gaming device. It's a solo journey that stands out for its massive creatures and dreamlike fractal landscapes. Something like "Shadow of the Colossus" – it's got a similar vibe with a mix of both relaxing exploration and some really nice challenges. What's great about this adventure is how it takes a peaceful approach. You're not in it for the fights; instead, it's more about diving into a deep, thoughtful experience. Think of it as your chill place, perfect for those times you just want to immerse yourself in a different world. The creators have done a fantastic job, proven by the nominations at Indie Cup Canada'23. And also being a finalist at the Game Development World Championship.

Chasing the Unseen - Launch Trailer

The world you'll wander through is both mysterious and stunning. You'll find yourself face to face with giant creatures. But here's a catch: you're not fighting them. Instead, you're climbing on them, and if you slip, your trusty little parachute is there to save the day. It's these elements that add a dash of excitement to your journey. The Chasing the Unseen levels? They're a blend of fractal geometry and other cool design tricks, creating these maze-like, captivating landscapes. It's a mix of exploring, climbing, and a bit of head-scratching to figure out the way forward. And yes, it can get a bit disorienting, but that's part of the charm. It's like stepping into a foreign, dream-like world, and the goal isn't spelled out right away – you have to uncover it yourself. What I admire about Chasing the Unseen is the balance it strikes. It's serene yet engaging, offering an experience that really sucks you in. Which is not about racking up points or endless battling. It's an adventure that invites you to take your time, explore, and reflect. Chasing the Unseen is available on Steam for those interested in a single-player adventure that's more about the experience than the competition. Trust me, it's worth checking out, especially if you're into titles that offer something a bit different. Which is Steam Deck Verified with Linux via Proton and Windows PC. Priced at $19.99 USD / £16.75 / 19,50€.

reading Blumbger's article on the development on DAVG with literal tears in my eyes. they had to remake the game from multi- to single-player in a year and a half.

also, another insane example of the mass effect favouritism:

we are reaching a level of bias not even just towards the game, but the development team. granting budget for requests of one team, but not the other. what if I started killing people.

Let's Play Constantine |09| The Final Seals

These are not the most difficult puzzles in the world, but the second one can end up being a doozy if you just mash buttons mindlessly. Still, with the final seals in hand, we can grab the Lexicon and head back to Beeman for tea and a spot of reading.

Let's Play Constantine |01| Going To Hell

The 2000's have some of my favorite movies related to comic books, even though I rarely touch on them even at the time. 2005's Constantine was one of my faves, and how could I not like it?! It's got a cynical exorcist, demons, Keanu Reeves and Pre-Transformers Shia LaBeouf! So how do you think the movie tie in plays?
