  • I recently replayed it. It’s kind of a weird one, but yes I’d say worth 5 bucks even as a window into the past.

    The interrogation gameplay mechanics are a bit vague and difficult to understand exactly how to make the game do what you want, or even what you think the entire mechanic does, but to its credit it doesn’t usually give you a hard game over when you make mistakes. I failed an interrogation for example, but I got a few extra scenes of comedy that I didn’t see last time when I succeeded.

    It pioneered facial capture in video games, but it’s out of sync with the rest of the body animation. Combine that with the low res textures and it’s a bit uncanny at times. Fascinating to see given where motion and facial capture is today though.


  • Was relocating a $10k piece of networking hardware and dropped it into another 10k VM server. Server was fine, network hardware was not. It was during a project that was a real mess, thought it was a stupid mistake though.

    We were able to work around it, though we did lose the contract we were trying to make. Honestly though given how rushed and panicked that whole three months was though, we were lucky nobody suffered anything worse. Real shitshow.
