“We want to promote non-discrimination, non-violence, and peace among people,” Bach told the South China Morning Post in 2017. “This doesn’t match with video games, which are about violence, explosions, and killing. And there we have to draw a clear line.”

I love the music in this game. Scars of Time and Dreams of the Shore Near Another World especially. But I’d have to disagree on this being the best game soundtrack. Of the PS1 era? Certainly. Overall? Not even close to Uematsu’s work on FFIV or FFVI, especially when taken as a whole. Chrono Cross has some amazing…

Looks like that’s AUS pricing. Looking at other games at the same price point, that’ll probably be 15 USD in NA. Which isn’t bad given that this version looks to have everything the X360 version had and “a new expansion, new quests, and more character classes”. 360 and PC are both 10, and the expansion on 360 is…

There’s a kind of “Year One edition” on PS4/XBO of Marvel where all the stuff from the first year of the game was redone into a single player style. Also has single console multiplayer for that one.

I know, right? The game directly references Alan and has items recovered from that area *in the game*. You can’t get any more concrete than flat out facts.

Yep, I messed around with Eliza on a Commodore 64 back in the day. I’m a little surprised that Gita didn’t bring up the reference since she is usually otherwise pretty worldly about games.

1) So? Penalty shots in soccer are vastly more important than free throws in basketball. They are both important however. Character selects/bans in MOBAs are important, but pick and counter-pick in fighting games are also important. Apples and oranges.

Sure, but something like “Oh, crap, waitwaitwaitwait!” should be something allowed since it was an obvious mechanical mistake. This, to me, is like having a hockey team being unable to call a timeout to fix a roster change mistake. “Oh, crap. Larkin’s still in but we need him rested for the third period. Guess he’s in…

Watching the video, I couldn’t keep my eyes off the dozens of repetitions of Final Fight, all at the end of stage one. Some screens oddly made into grids but showing the same thing, with all the arcade machines having different unreadable headers despite all being Final Fight. Such a weird thing to do with a…

Maybe even trying to be... Arch-vile?

No Phineas and Ferb, no sale.

I was totally expecting an Evil Week tag on this one (even though it’s not Evil Week).

Exactly. Even without the sexuality portion of this coming into it I’m failing to see how this is any different than other stupid things that were masterfully marketed like, say...

Not sure about PC, but the iOS and Android apps both allow downloading for movies and TV shows. There’s a download button right below the Watch button.

+1 for grammatically correct use of defenestration.

You talked about it just earlier this weekend. Crystalis. An amazing game as it stands, but remade with orchestral music and updated graphics/gameplay? Day one.

I’m still waiting for Randall Munroe to release that Linked List album referenced in the comic. I’d buy it!

Ehh, there’s a large difference there in that WotC does nothing to stop third party sales. If anything, the actively support it with multiple card sellers with booths at all their major leagues. EA and others like them stomp down on players the moment they even think that their accounts or items in them may be worth…

Name checks out...

There is a hacker looking character in there named Zero Cool. I can’t tell if I know who I’m maining when I try the game or if my head hurts from the overstrong facepalm.
