I’d generally prefer this. With a full time job and a wife and kids, I just don’t have the time I used to. A nice solid 20-hour experience is generally preferable to every game being an 80-hour epic that I’m never going to finish.

I can’t think of any other explanation. Even if you hold these views, surely some part of your brain has to acknowledge the current state of the world and think “I shouldn’t say this publicly...”

I agree, it works really well and most of the people I’ve seen bashing it either haven’t tried it or are trying it over janky wi-fi or something. I honestly can’t tell the difference between playing a game on Stadia and playing it on any of my other consoles. The only big difference is faster load times and no need to…

I don’t know that this is “bad press”. A demo version of a game got leaked on the platform. I don’t see for that’s a negative for game players.

Has that worked this whole time? I just tried it and it bumped it to Sunday the 3rd delivery for me. Sometimes I am just ordering pointless stuff, but I hate when I really need something and Amazon is telling me it’ll ship in a couple of weeks.

It’s still so insane to me that Kemp was allowed to be in charge of the election while running for office. That kind of stuff wouldn’t fly in a high school election, how can it be okay in an actual state government?

I was going to suggest Blackstone Fortress too. A player doesn’t take control of the enemies until you have 5 players and there are always 4 explorers (well, other than the ratling twins). 1-4 players just varies in how many explorers each player controls. So,the solo game is basically the same as the standard game…

Thanks for the article. This hits home for me. My wife is due with our 2nd child on Monday (March 23). Having a baby is already stressful, adding the coronavirus stuff on top of it is even worse. We’ve talked to the hospital and they’re on a strict visitor policy right now two people are allowed during her stay…

Same story here. I’m in a medium-sized city that doesn’t even have a verified case, yet (though the neighboring big city has like 60+ cases, so, it’s probably here too, we just don’t know it yet). My wife asked if I wanted to go to dinner spur of the moment. I said sure and checked a place that you normally need to…

I bought, and still own that controller. It was really cool. Just as cool was the game, or rather the online only sequel, Steel Battalion Line of Contact. There was lots of hard-core gameplay decisions that made it tougher, but also made the battles super intense.

I completely agree. I’m of the TNG generation, but when I was a kid, I watched TOS and the TOS-era movie series and for whatever reason, I was more attached to those than I ever became with TNG. I feel like too many people who grew up with TNG expect that to be the defacto Trek. I still love TNG, but it’s just another…

This is how it starts. In all honesty, I really like Kill Team. It’s a smaller investment than full-size 40k, both in money and time assembling/painting/playing. If I get the urge to start a new faction, it’s like $50-$100 instead of hundreds.

You just have to practice. Art is a skill, like pretty much anything else. There’s this idea that you’re born with artistic skill or you’re not, but it’s mostly that people who like drawing (or some other form of art) just keep doing it, so they keep improving. People who don’t never practice it. So, they just think…

+1 to what Enfy said. In addition, I think there’s a lot of draw from the fact that the towns are all randomly generated. So, from day 1, your layout and the animal citizens who inhabit it are totally unique. Your house and the stuff you put in it are all you. It feels like no two are the same. When you visit someone…

In addition to the odd decision to break it up into episodes, I’ve been pretty pessimistic about the remake and I find it odd that I seem to be one of the few. If it’s good, sure, I might play it, but I don’t have high hopes. FF7 was a great game at the time but them remaking it and expecting it to be as good as the…

That’s James K. Polk. I really have to know why, now. I was expecting some explanation, but I found nothing.

Bingo. Most people don’t read the rules and when you go by “house rules” the game often winds up taking forever. The auction rule and rules regarding how you build are usually totally ignored in house rules and they drag the game out. There’s even rules for a shorter version of the game that hands out a bunch of…

In my opinion, this is the best way to learn Paradox games. I’ve played all of their big strategy games for many hours each (CK2, EU4, Vic 2, HOI4, and Stellaris). It’s usually best to maybe get a quick overview and jump in, then either screw up tremendously or get confused and google some specific answers.

I love Fallout so much that I bought Fallout Tactics day 1 for full price. Even I didn’t bother with Fallout 76 or its DLC.

If you’re an adult and don’t have a Switch already, the Lite doesn’t have much appeal. However, for a kid or an adult who already has a Switch, the Lite does have appeal.
