Have You Arrived Here?
Have you arrived here, at The Old Reti? This is our lovely archive of our past glories. For our work since 2012, please head over here!
This Is The End
It is a sad day here at The Reticule, but it is a day that has been a long time coming. I am sad to reveal that The Reticule is going offline and there won’t be any new content published.
It has been a long and very exciting ride since a small group of us started this place back in November 2008, but these things don’t last forever and as the team slowly moved on to bigger and brighter things and various problems with the server move cropped up it became clear to me that things weren’t quite as they used to be. So I have taken the choice to bring and end to activity on the site, the site won’t be closing down/taken down any time soon, but don’t expect new content.
Thanks to everyone who took the time to read what we wrote, it was a wonderful journey.

The Independent Games Festival is due to hold its’ 13th annual awards ceremony in the Spring of 2011. The IGF is a mainstay of the gaming calendar, and in the words of Kyle Gabler (World of Goo) ”is the biggest showcase for indie games”.

Show Me The Games
This is a great idea, Show Me The Games is a portal to a whole bunch of indie games like AI War, Gratuitous Space Battles, World of Goo and 17 others. The concept is explained in detail by Positech’s Cliff Harris but it pretty much boils down to an attempt to create an indie game portal, and a simple example of what indie games are.

New Deus Ex 3 Trailer
I wasn’t really all that interested in Deus Ex: Human Revolution, then I saw the brand spanking new trailer which you can see after the jump.
Cleaning Up The Drives
It has come to my attention that my hard drives are getting somewhat full, I have 38GB left on my 500GB drive and 94GB left on my 250GB drive. In a world where a game like DiRT 2 takes up 10GB of space you start to realise how much of a priority space becomes. When you are in a line of work like I am, you find that space taken up with games, demos, press kits, FRAPS shots, music and any other crap you plonk on your drives.
