Rico… Swimm-é

I’m so excited I used a Rico Suavé allusion in the caption of the picture above. A year ago now, a modest mod team of two fellas decided that Just Cause 2 (my all time 2nd most hours dedicated to a game on Steam. I mean, I blew up EVERYTHING in that game.) was lacking a certain detail, a certain panache, a certain ability to wreak total and utter havoc in groups of several people. This of course shot my blood pressure up to Sam Raimi excited proportions when I first read of it, but almost as soon as the demo video appeared, the website went cold and development ceased.

BUT LOOK AT THIS!

I tells you kid, I’m always proud to be a PC Gamer, but sometimes somebody just finds the right formula and I go from happy-with-myself-gamer to that-dad-who-won’t-shut-up-about-his-award-winning-kid-not-even-at-a-funeral style proportions. Their website is up and running still, with a minor explanation as to where this sudden progress has come from. What I want to know is whether or not it’s going to be compatible with the incredible flying mod. Yeah, okay, it’s a two year old game at this point, but AWESOMESAUCE.

Johnny Maloney

Having been a gamer since 1986 when his father brought home an IBM PCjr with King's Quest and Crossfire included, it seemed destined that PC gaming and Johnny Maloney's life would run parallel forever. Despite his occasional affairs with movies, books, music and single malt scotch, he's never once left the side of his PC. In fact, on a full moon on a friday the thirteenth, if you sit in his old chairs... chills will run up your spine if you say "you fight like a dairy farmer," and you can sometimes hear ghostly whispers in the night respond "how appropriate, you fight like a cow…" -- Attempting to contact Johnny at Johnny@Blisteredthumbs.net may be successful.
