I really liked the X-Men Legends Diablo-style action RPG games. They were simple, but really fun, and I enjoyed unlocking all the characters and seeing who would banter with whom in my party. I think it’s in the second game where you can get Deadpool, which if I recall requires a second playthrough, but I loved his…

The Funky Town story is amazing. I will never be as cool as that girl.

The best I have is fairly lame. About six years ago, my husband and I were in Vegas for his sister’s wedding, and while we don’t gamble, we are both all about cool food experiences, so we’re at Mario Batali’s B&B Ristorante. It’s actually late in the evening, and the only other people there is this noisy table of…

Hey, I hope it all works out for you, and it’s awesome that you get to see her soon! :) I know it can be tough, especially when you have to go a long time like that between seeing one another, but just be honest and enjoy all the times you CAN be together. I hope you guys have a great time!

Tangent: I’ve worked mostly with a lot of indies and some large studios, and can I say bizarrely Sega has had BY FAR the friendliest, most helpful, most polite PR people to deal with? Like, not that I expected them not to be, or that I’ve had any who were rude elsewhere, but Sega’s people (and Capcom’s now that I…

Can I just say fast food employees get treated horribly? And I say this just as things I’ve witnessed, not as someone who’s ever worked it. A while back I was in the McDonald’s drive-thru, and the car in front of me was acting weird. I could see the driver kept looking down and rooting around, and I kept having to tap…

Oh man, I haven’t had rice krispie treats in forever. I actually used to like a variation my mom made with... I think that puffed grain cereal? The stuff that had zero flavour? She made a light brown sugar type of sticky syrup that held it all together instead of marshmallows. My uncle would make this thing that was…

That’s so cool! I’ve never even heard of this. Definitely something to try. And if it goes poorly, well, that’s what I have my husband for... to eat the evidence.

And you are entirely within your rights to enjoy it, just as I am to dislike it. :) It’s in first person, yes, but your point of view doesn’t always seem to line up with the way you came through into an area after a transition, making it hard to keep track of where you’ve been, and as for it taking place within a…

I remember the original White Day. That game was designed like the developers hated players. There was just so much obnoxious backtracking, the map was boring and filled with weird camera angles that made finding your way around a chore, and the adventure game logic was compounded by the annoying health mechanics and…

I’m glad I’ve never met a cosplayer. I would be the most annoying frigging person. “What’s that made of? How long did it take you? Why did you use that material? Is it comfortable? Is it durable? How heavy is it? Is it a lot of pieces? Can you take it apart? How is your hair doing that? How did you get it so shiny?…

A++, would sigh in starry-eyed rememberence of my childhood again.

The preview image reminds me of the time when a white woman seated near us at a restaurant proudly and out of thin air informed the black waitress that she “spoke ebonics”. I nearly crawled under the table and died from second-hand embarassment.

A couple weeks back my husband and I were at a very busy restaurant in a theme park for a Halloween event with several people from an online group. One of them is an older woman who’s sort of being a pain mostly by being indecisive and a little patronizing, but thankfully nothing mortifying. At least until the end of…

Having worked with indie and big game developers for the better part of a decade writing reviews, I admit I probably have a different perspective than some, but it makes me INSANE whenever someone complains that a developer should “just” do something. “Just” add another playable character. “Just” add in controller…

I totally will! It looks like my sort of thing, and I do love SNES-era graphics. :)

A long time ago (in 2001 to be exact) I was reading an online comic that talked a lot about a game called Ultima Online. I’d never played an MMORPG before, so the whole thing sounded weird and intriguing, and I ran out and bought a copy, encouraging an online friend of mine to do the same. We had a pretty good time…

Weird. I could have sworn I played this, but looking at the screenshots isn’t sparking any memories. I did really enjoy Illusion of Gaia, though... challenging boss battles, real character development, surprising sequences, and lovely graphics.

My heart goes out to him and his family. Hope he has the best years he can, and destroys expectations.

While there are a lot of different ways this could be handled and a lot of different ways that money could be used, I choose instead to be happy for her and hope that it makes a positive difference in her life, and causes her to go forward with a renewed desire to extend help towards others when she can.
