Okay, maybe it's not as rare as I make it out to be, but I still love to see anything 'punk (cyber or steam) released.

Don't forget about clockpunk and teslapunk!

Prank call done with the voice of Fallout 3 character, Confessor Cromwell, who calls a Christian hotline.

Why are all Russian videos so random?

Thanks. We've got the first two fixed (I need to check that they really are fixed now!). The third one I've reported

Just checked what the third one is exactly - there is animation of the heroine falling through ice after she collapses, which shouldn't be there.

Yes, that's a bug that we're fixing in v1.1. You can retrieve your stuff before going to Svartalfheim, but you can still complete the game even without it (in which case, you just need to make sure you don't stuff up too many quests).

V1.1 probably coming end Jan or early Feb, depending on how quickly we can get this build tested to make sure no other bugs got introduced.

Ok, cool. In that case, I'll just wait for the fixed version.

Also some more bugs I've spotted off the top of my head:

o         In Svartalfheim smithy - teleporting from the second floor (which is also the ceiling) to the first one using the Blink spell results in game crash.
o         Sometimes the game freezes if you ask Lithrasir to get you a drink while she is busy preparing herbs. I wasn't able to replicated this one, though.
o         There was a graphical glitch (wrong animation, as far as I remember) when I died because of overexertion while trying to climb into Munarvagir inn window.

Is that true that you can't retrieve items stolen from you if you don't find a way into the thieves guild in time? If so, that's pretty frustrating.

Otherwise, enjoying every aspect of the game so far. Great work!

Do RPGs with Quest elements count?

If so, it's Silver. One of the first games I've played and still one of my favorites. It's a European attempt to create a jRPG with some Adventure game elements and a unique battle system (you have to move mouse in certain directions to hack, slash, stab etc.).
This game has everything - great story and setting, perfect gameplay, beautiful pre-rendered graphics, one of the best music scores I've ever heard in video games. Back in the day it was a real pain in ass to get the game to launch and play without crashes, but now the game is available on GOG.com and most bugs & crashes are fixed.

Totally recommended.

Today I found out there was a Soviet film adaptation of the Hobbit, hahah! Moreover, I found this video with absolutely random English subtitles, which make the movie even more ridiculous:

Baba Yetu from Sid Meier's Civilization IV - the first ever video game music piece to win a Grammy Award. The lyrics are actually the Lord's Prayer translated to Swahili language.

Pretty much any RPG (excluding most jRPGs) - Fable, Might&Magic, Arcanum, Mass Effect, Planescape:Torment, Fallout, Jedi Academy etc.
