What's developed in Texas video game-wise? I honestly don't know.
I know they apparently had a decent voice acting presence (not sure if that's still the case, but it used to be at least)
Id, Ensemble Studios, and Retro Studios are the only ones who come to mind, so so far that's:
>doom
>quake
>age of empires
>halo wars
>metroid prime
>donkey kong country returns
Not bad so far
Borderlands (Gearbox)
Ultima (First MMO and coined the MMORPG genre)
Retro Games
>Ultima (First MMO and coined the MMORPG genre)
Meridian 59 was earlier.
doom was in wisconsin
none of those games have been relevant for a good decade
the point is entire genres were invented by game developers based in Texas
lol
Funny until you realize it's true
>entire genres
name 1
Please read the thread before posting or just frick back off to Twitter and Discord
doom is relevant every time you see a first person shooter homie what the hell do you mean
doom didn't invent first person shooters, first person shooters as a genre was invented in california
Yea and Mario didn't invent platformers
It's like saying iPhone didn't invent the smartphone, technically correct, but clearly stupid
Wasn't doom coded on that cube computer???
Id software and who else? Though I guess you don't need much else for it to be the most important
Texas, California, and New York are the only American states that yuros know. They might not know where they are, but they know that they exist.
Well yeah, half the country lives in those 3
Yeah but that's not why people here know them. People know
>Texas
Because of cowboys.
>New York
Because of all the movies set there (plenty of people actually think NYC is the capital of America)
>California
Because of Hollywood.

video games are gay because of the increasing number of texans making video games
Name one (1) great video game released from Texas in the past 10 years. Easy Mode: Any American or Mexican game counts.
Dishonored 1
Borderlands 2
Tropical Freeze
Doom 2016
Prey 2017
Shroud of the Avatar
I thought Arkane were Canadian because of how brown and ugly and Asian all the people in their games are.
please stop talking about TX. All the Californians moved here and everything is getting horrible because of them. We don't need any games about us, we don't want any movies about us, we don't want any notoriety. Go away.
Just leave Austin. DFW is becoming a shit hole too but for other reasons.
DFW has always been a shithole
-Greater Houston area gang
You couldn't pay me to move to Houston kek pure cope
Me either, I live in the Woodlands
You guys built adequate housing unlike NY and CA so now everyone is drawn like moth to a flame to the sensible housing prices
>Playing American games past the sixth generation
What goes on in corpus christi / Brownsville?
Until their power goes out when it gets too cold. Or too hot. lol frick t*xas, it is the biggest meme
>Texas gets a once in a life time ice storm that fricks it's power grid, trends on Twitter so it's all smooth brains can reference to shit on Texas because it happened a few years ago
>Texas power grid fails due to heat
Never happened, why would heat make a power grid fail
Apply yourself
That grid failure has happened several times now due to 'once in a lifetime ice storms' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Groundhog_Day_blizzard
https://theappeal.org/30-years-of-power-outages-and-campaign-donations-in-texas/
That 2011 Blizzard reported power outages in every area affected per that article so what's your point? That power grids anywhere are affected by ice storms? moron
They were warned about the dangers of not weatherproofing as early as 1989 and refused to do it, read the article before commenting idiot
This anon gets it, any future aid to Texas if their powergrid goes out again because they're too cheap to weatherproof should be conditional that Texas RE be dissolved and they join MRO since it's clear they're not going to fix this on their own.
Not heat but summer weather. They have fricked days where they don't generate enough via wind. It's happened and it's almost happened a bunch. I got so many alerts about it this summer.
Okay if a power grid is dependent on wind energy sure. But heat or summer weather inherently has no effect otherwise.
It does because repeated high heat causes higher usage of electricity and if we aren't generating enough via wind to keep up with demand they dip into reserves and when they don't have enough they do blackouts.
Only 24% of Texas's energy comes from wind, why would that be the cause? No existing energy capacity had been replaced by wind.
Also most of the energy deficiency in the last blackout were due gas and nuclear plant shutdowns
Idk homie but it happens. Ask ercot or are they lying to us about how shit they are? You're arguing with reality.
If ERCOT was connected to other grids, this wouldn't be a problem, because if ERCOT goes down you just switch over to power from other states
Yea. Do you think I'm pro ercot? I'm the one saying shit goes out in the summer.
I know that, just adding a side comment, it's insane there is no backup if ERCOT does down
Agreed. Abbott is useless though.
>why would heat make a power grid fail
Actual potato brain.
>Texas gets a once in a decade ice storm in 2010, causing rolling blackouts
>Engineers said the grid needed to be winterized so it doesn't happen again
>a new regulation was proposed
>energy lobbyists threw a shitfit
>Texas republicans caved and the grid and plant upgrades became optional
>another ice storm hits
>hundreds die due to predicted outages
But thank goodness the wealthy got to save some money
Meanwhile every state and country north of Texas got hit with the same cold snap and no rolling blackouts.
The federal government's emissions shit rules are hamstringing Texas' way of getting power and since we are on our own grid intense weather can knock out our power.
are you really sucking greedy republican boomer politicians and pro fossil fuel wiener for free? you have to be insane to not see how out of date our grid is here
North Mexico doesn't matter to anyone but themselves.
That's not Kyoto
I am so happy to get out of this shithole for good, I'm leaving for another state next month. Don't move here, its nothing but californians, boomers, Black folk and jeets.
I agree
DONT MOVE HERE
IT SUCKS
The power grid sucks! The games sucks! It all sucks!
but that's not japan
crazy how texas is basically California 2.0
This state has so many fat ladies. I am feral 24/7 here.
Pierce?
That's all of America.
You seriously need to come down to South Texas and go to a theater or Costco or concert or something. Some women have some wicked crazy confidence and walk around with a doughy middle hanging out.
Yeah I don't think I will.
>Brownsville
>full of brown people
Who writes this shit?
