Interview: Ian Frazier on Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

January 20, 2012 in Featured, Games, Interviews, Preview, Video

For those that may not listen to our podcast (shame on you), rawDLC is excited for Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. It has been a long time since a game has left us yearning for more, and after a little hands-on time we were sold.

Opinion: Dave’s best films of 2011

January 12, 2012 in Entertainment, Featured, Film, Opinion

Keeping the flick fan fest alive, I thought I’d throw a spanner in the works by ignoring most of the films showcased by the eminent Nachos Justice (his picks found here) or the highly unconventional Philpottian ones (Josh’s selection found here). I found the depth of 2011 cinema amazing, though it didn’t stop me from showing love to those that will barely get a mention in traditional Top Ten listings. Read the rest of this entry →

Opinion: Josh’s best films of 2011

January 11, 2012 in Entertainment, Featured, Film, Opinion

We’re all about individuality at rawDLC, and with three very different people behind its awesomeness, we often have differing opinions; such as our respective choices of the top films of 2011. Nachos was first out the gate (see it here) and has produced some stellar picks of last year’s films. However, seeing as this is a personal list, our choices are vastly different. Check my list after the jump. Read the rest of this entry →

January 7, 2012 in Entertainment, Featured, Film, Opinion

We may well be in the first week of the new year, but if you’re anything like me, you’re still catching up with the remnants of 2011. Outside of playing a lot of games every year, I also have the opportunity to see a lot of movies (courtesy of Australian Penthouse). There’ve been some solid releases this year and plenty of duds. After the jump you’ll find my top 10. Read the rest of this entry →

Opinion: RPGs shouldn’t have a manual-save option

January 6, 2012 in Featured, Opinion

Here at rawDLC, we’re no strangers to courting controversy. Hell, sometimes we like to incite a bit ourselves; not just for shits and giggles, but because we feel that an opinion–no matter how unpopular–needs to be heard. As a quick-save addict, this realisation was somewhat difficult for me to confess, but I believe that narrative-driven RPGs could be improved by removing the option to manually save.
