I’m playing Mortal Kombat 11's (reportedly excellent) story mode over on our Twitch channel. I played Mortal Kombat X’s story mode on Friday, so this seems right. Get over here! (Into our Twitch chat. I used that joke last week.)
How The English Translation Messed Up Final Fantasy VII's Famous Death Scene
I first played Final Fantasy VII in English immediately after it was released in 1997. I was in college at the time. In 2017, possessing two fresh decades of life experience and a fluency in the Japanese language, I decided to revisit Final Fantasy VII. I didn’t meant to revisit it quite as, uh, thoroughly as I ended…
I’m streaming the wild story mode of Mortal Kombat XL over on our Twitch page. Seriously, if you have never seen this story mode, it is so above and beyond. Get over here! To our Twitch channel!

The Friends of Ringo Ishikawa for the Nintendo Switch combines a River City Ransom-like brawling Japanese school punk action RPG with the tone of existential cinematic artistry. It rules. I am playing it on our Twitch channel right the heck now.
I Played Through Final Fantasy VII Sixteen Times In The Last Two Years
In July of 2017, I realized I’d never played Final Fantasy VII since learning Japanese. I decided to do so, and make a little video about the experience. In the very first text box of the game, I encountered a nuanced difference between the Japanese and the English. This inspired an obsession. Two years later, I have…
I am streaming Final Fantasy XIII over on our Twitch channel. I’m playing it in English, which is fun, because I have never played it in English. I first played it in Japanese, 10 years ago. That’s the opposite of my video series in which I played Final Fantasy VII in Japanese after first playing it in English 20…
Me (Tim Rogers) and Gita (Jackson) are streaming The Sims (4) “Black Widow Challenge,” in which our Sim must meet, marry, cheat on, and then kill people. To you this may sound sick. To me it sounds like Thursday. Join us, loudly, in the chat!
I (Tim Rogers) am playing Assassin’s Creed III: Remastered over on our Twitch channel right the heck now. Please get all over the chat and yell as many obvious jokes as you can, such as “More Like Assassin’s Threed Three: Threemastered!”
Gita Jackson has been marrying and murdering people in The Sims 4 as part of the “Black Widow Challenge,” while I watch and make idiotic comments. We’re about to marry and kill yet another yacht-owning beardo live on our Twitch channel. If you don’t want to cheer us on, don’t click on this link.
Me (Tim) and Paul are about to experience the shrill thrill of some Flawful Victories and even worse failures live within the shrieking shark tank that is the Mortal Kombat 11 Online Beta over on our Twitch channel. Will Baraka Win? Or will he answer affirmatively to Scorpion’s cordial invitation? Yell and scream at…
I (Tim Rogers) am playing the new Earth Defense Force game, Iron Rain, over on our Twitch channel, because what else am I going to do? You don’t get an advance code for a new Earth Defense Force game and not play it. Suit up in the chat and yell at some monster freaks with me?!
You can watch me play Square Enix’s new Chocobo’s Mystery Dungeon: Every Buddy for an hour here (or on YouTube!) and you can read Kotaku’s Michael Fahey’s impressions here. I liked it on the Wii, and I like it even more (with new core features) on the Nintendo Switch!
I Read 4,000 YouTube Comments About Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
I am so excited about Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice that I asked not to play it for work. I need to play it at home, in the dark, devoid of human contact. So for today’s video, I did the most unreasonable alternative I could think of: I read thousands of YouTube comments on all the trailers and gameplay videos released to…
Watch Us Enjoy Thirty Minutes Of Yoshi's Crafted World
Yoshi’s Crafted World is cute, fun, and either childish or relaxing, depending on your mood. So come chill and childishly relax with Stephen Totilo and I as we plunk around a bunch of levels, talk about how great Yoshi’s Island is, wonder why Nintendo decided to immediately send Yoshi games back to preschool after …
I (Tim Rogers) am playing One Piece: World Seeker over on our Twitch channel. I don’t exactly need a video game to role-play a skinny man with long rubbery arms, though I figure, why not, while I have the expertise? Scream at me in the chat!
Stop Calling Games Guilty Pleasures
The newly released Devil May Cry 5 inspired Tim and I to talk about the idea of games that some might consider “guilty pleasures” and why sometimes that can be a little misguided. I’m totally fine with liking things that don’t necessarily qualify as artistic masterpieces and delving into what makes “trashier” games so…
I (Tim Rogers) love Watch Dogs. I consider it The Most Interesting Game of this console generation, for complex reasons. Yet I have not played Watch Dogs 2. Well, it was on sale. Who watches the Dog Watchers? You, if you click here!
Devil May Cry 5 Is The Holy Grail Of Trash
Devil May Cry 5 is the sort of video game where it’s impossible to think of a single moment my mom wouldn’t shake her head at as she folded laundry in the basement circa 1988. And that will never stop me from absolutely loving it. Inspired by the beautiful friction experience that is this game, I made a video about…
