Autopsy A1-03; Retrieved from the Unified Bureau of Scientific Investigation

DR. SHURE:    This is UBSI autopsy number A1-03, April 5th, 2104. This recording and transcript are to be placed under Level Two lockdown upon completion of the procedure, and the specimen is to be disposed of in an undisclosed location following the event previously stated. Any violation of the Level Two lockdown shall be met with severe and immediate punishment.


DR. LANE:    By listening to this recording and/or reading this documented transcript, you state that you are a Level 2 asset of the UBSI; if this statement is false, you are to turn off this recording and/or return this document immediately. Failing to do so will result in a criminal charge of high treason within your country of residency - you have been warned.


E.O. (DR. SHURE)

Initial reports on the external state of the subject are as follows:

  1. Virtually identical to homo sapiens in body shape and size, with specific differences setting it apart from an average human.

    1. Pale skin, clearly lacking in any noticeable or healthy amount of melanin.

    2. Slight decomposition along the neck; cause of decomposition to be listed within section 2 of this report.

    3. Elongated upper and lower canines, each exhibiting a tiny opening near the tip.

    4. Dilated pupils, with deep red irises. Subsequent investigation into this optical mutation may be required.

  2. Cause of death seems to be an attack of some kind, based on a large gash where a major portion of the upper throat should be.

    1. Despite this observation, there is no blood surrounding the wound. Normally, from a wound of this magnitude, a large amount of blood would have permeated the skin surrounding the opening; but with this specimen, there is none present.

I.O. (DR. LANE)

Initial reports on the internal state of the subject are as follows:

  1. There is no blood visible anywhere within the chest cavity of the specimen, not including the unidentifiable ooze currently leaking from within.

  2. The organs seem to be - wait, what's that?


DR. SHURE:    What do you see?

DR. LANE:    Something just moved, I saw it. Hold on, I'll readjust the left ar - OH SHIT! GET IT OFF ME!

DR. SHURE:    Hold still, I've got the arm!

DR. LANE:    *garbled screams followed by crunching and a snap*

DR. SHURE:    No! Stay - stay back! GUARDS! End recording! END RECOR -

  1. Log Number 361 - Investigation Pending

    I'm being investigated by the FBI; the EMP device that I brought through last week shut down the city's power after I accidentally bumped it off my nightstand. They talked about bringing in some scientists to look at the device, but I know they won't get anything from it. It's an artifact from another universe -the chances of them harnessing it are slim to none.

    I just want to go home.

How I Would Follow Up "Tyranny"

Tyranny , the 2016 dark fantasy CRPG from Obsidian Entertainment , never received a sequel. Not all games warrant a follow-up, as we're starting to see in this modern landscape of under-performing franchise players, but some titles simply don't feel complete without one. Tyranny is one of those games. Short enough to not overstay it's welcome, long enough for your choices to be impactful and varied, but lacking any large-scale resolution for the pieces laid out in it's final hours. And at this point in time, nearly a decade after release, there is zero indication that Obsidian has any intention of revisiting the universe. As a fun thought experiment, I want to discuss some short ideas for how I would follow this game up in 2025. Part One: An Archon of Our Own The idea is pretty cut and dry: Overlord Kyros is gone, and the Empire is fracturing into warring states ruled by the Archons . The main character's actions in the first game proved to the world that Kyros is ...

My Regrets with Abandoning Games

It started when I couldn't finish Fallout: London, despite loving it. Then my exploration of Enderal was cut short after reaching Ark, when I didn't want to go back out into the world that wanted to kill me. I purchased Syndicate and never finished it; I then bought a ton of great games on GOG and Steam during sales, playing introductory bits of all of them just to get an idea of where I stood with them... and I barely felt a spark beyond that initial intrigue. I wasn't quite sure if it was a problem with my tastes, or my health, or my time. But then I played Tyranny for the first time, having never played Pillars of Eternity, and I powered through 25 hours of gameplay without skipping a beat. Tyranny managed to grab my attention quickly, and maintain it throughout a relatively short (but deep) gameplay experience. I don't have any plans for an actual review of it, but it kept me going for a while and I appreciate it for not wasting my time. The sheer excitement and fun...

London but not the Syndicate kind

I have been playing the absolute shit out of Fallout London for the past week. And I think I've finally met my match, because at Level 14 with a decent chunk of quests under my belt, I have only explored about 1/4th of the city. When I look at the mostly uncharted map, and realize how much I have already done, I cry angry tears. This is my London Low-Down. Mind the fucking gap, samurai. The Good Doggie There are few things in life more satisfying than a bowler-hat-wearing, cigar-smoking British bulldog. Or pug. Or maybe a mutated rat - I honestly don't know what breed the game's resident Dog Companion™ happens to be. With a name like Churchill and the scariest walking sound effects known to man, this powerhouse can really lay down the law while I get my ass handed to me by a giant wombat. I was actually worried that I would have trouble finding him, as my first thirteen levels passed by without so much as an introduction to any of the companions. Once I began to focus on th...
