    Robin Hood: Legend of Sherwood , title of 2002 by Spellbound Entertainment.

    I download this game every few years or so, to re-experience entire campaign for reasons beyond my comprehension. I just have to.
    Given how atmospheric and fun this game is, I'm surprised to see nobody else has mentioned it already. I couldn't find other titles by Spellbound in here too. Either that or search engine is broken.
    There is nothing particularly impressive about the mechanics of the game or inner workings of it's engine. Basically, it's moving sprites across a still picture, much like Commandos series, or Desperados which is also made by Spellbound. For me, the game never EVER crashed, old hardware or new. (not tested win10) However, art style and attention to detail in this isometric perspective story driven journey is absolutely "MAGNIFICENT!" (if you played the game you'll get the pun) and while lacking in vocal variety, sound work is so solid that not once the repetition bugged me.
    I signed up to post this. Shutout to Ross, been watching since before he quit Machinima. Anyone else recall Legend of Sherwood with the fondest of memories?

    I remember that game. Still have the CD somewhere...

     

    It was fun for a once or twice game. Seemed like it lost replayability after the second round. Felt somewhat like the original Stronghold from the art direction, but with detailed control over the specific units instead of the castle buildings.

    One of the things i do remember is that he is a paid consultant to many pharma companies, which might be why the DSM committee (or whatever else decides on what goes in) might have 2nd thoughts regarding his research, trying to not repeat the fiasco of the previous century where many people got misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder and pumped full of lithium.

    Except that the diagnosis methods are science based, (unlike the old bipolar stuff) and have been around for over 200 years. (also unlike bipolar)

  3. DSM-5 refused to include scientific information that "might broaden the prevalence of the disorder". The AMA also supports using diagnostic tests that remove ~200 years of scientifically known knowledge of the disorder. (removing the emotional component)

     

    Politics disrupting science, and since this is a 2014 talk, you can't even blame the current political system.

    wasn't sure if the coma was grammatically required

    It depends entirely on how you intend for it to read. If you intend for a slight delay, usually for emphasis in that situation, then it is appropriate to include a comma in that location. Considering however that you don't capitalize or use other punctuation, there seems very little point in including that in the first place.
