Ditto. I used to work with ex-Experis folks who spent a while working on Halo Online. When they saw that it had gotten leaked a couple years ago, they were vocally not too happy it was out there in the world. It always seemed like an odd response, since Halo Online got cancelled. I’d be pleased as punch if anything I…

They are lucky that they didn’t have more major issues with those last-minute additions. But, I would definitely describe not being able to complete every achievement as ‘game-breaking’. Heck, that’s a cert violation right there, and would need to be fixed. Unless it got fixed later on? I don’t know, since I’ve…

I had wondered what happened to Project Wight/Darkborn. During my brief time at Private Division, we got to try out a pretty rough milestone build, and gather feedback for the devs. Seemed like an interesting concept, but builds that are that early are tricky to give feedback for. Just before I left PD, this had…

I wouldn’t have when I still worked for 2K. I watched a fellow QA tester get fired over a very minor reason about two weeks they spoke with the VP of QA about harassment they were receiving. This was a situation where they took advantage of the VP’s open-door policy and it cost them.

Been looking for work since I got back from Japan last August. No luck, despite talking & interviewing with places along the way. Now all this happens and it makes the future seem less certain than ever.

Trying to keep my spirits up, though, by finding projects to work on. I’m also starting to watch the original Kamen…

For real. Stubb’s is amazing stuff. The fact that it doesn’t use HFCS at all (I believe that’s still true; someone correct me if I’m wrong) is an added bonus.

Grab what I want, don’t have to deal with BS small-talk, and hopefully get in and out quickly? Sign me up.

I definitely agree with the Zero Calorie Coke Energy tasting really odd. Very medicine-y. I have a can of the regular one I’m going to try in the next couple of days. The Zero Calorie Cherry flavor was decent, though. I think the Cherry helped mask some of the other off flavors.

One thing I wish I could remember,…

I never use the term ‘shit-lord’, like, ever. But Tyler1 seems to embody that term. Maybe his audience are masochists? Because something what is linked to above would be enough reason to never give him another view.

I saw this on Wario64's feed this morning and thought ‘that might be nice to finally try out’. Then I saw the price, audibly guffaw’d, and went about my day. There might be a lot of game there, but this also isn’t a brand new title.

I love when I can look at an image and immediately feel calm.

Half-Life 3 was delayed so Half-Life: Alyx could release on time. Big ups to HL3 and its sacrifice.

Hard to tell from a distance how big he really is. But, isn’t Yoshi about the size of a human being anyways? Or maybe just Mario-sized? That dude’s size and proportions are all out of wack.

Reminds me of Roy Choi’s place on the Las Vegas Strip. Dude charges $16 for an assortment of banchan and $21-74 for BBQ, depending on the protein. Rice is extra, too. Dude is crazy, since Chinatown here has good BBQ for far less money.

It’s still a legendary series; this is just a bad entry. Not the first time Contra has had a bad game, either.

Rogue Corps would have been cool if it was just better executed. The gameplay got so tedious very quickly.

I’m clearly out of touch with the industry, since Judgment was the only thing on this list that I played. Glad I did, though! Its gameplay didn’t stray far from the Yakuza formula, but in terms of story, it’s one of the best RGG Studio has produced. 

This commercial gets shown on over-the-air TV networks CONSTANTLY. I hate seeing it. Like, is she an influencer? Did she just do vlogs for a year only to show to her husband? Do any of use, including said commercial husband care?

But, a lot of the commercials on these networks are trash.

Both this and the Contra Anniversary Collection are good buys. I had a lot of fun going through the Castlevania collection (even if Castlevania: The Adventure is...not so hot).

My only gripe is trophies are tied to playing through the US versions of each game. Not an issue for Castlevania, but for Contra? That’s a…

All I can think of now is how swamped with people this store will be. I went to the Pokemon Center in Ikebukuro this year and left after around 15 minutes. It’s really difficult to browse through, let alone actually buy anything.
