Pretty sure my comment doesn’t impede his ability to grieve any more than his announcing his grieving doesn’t keep me from commenting on his bizarre verbiage.

I figured he meant more of a situation where you no longer needed to because it just wasn’t necessary anymore. My friend and I have covered the idea of a “Stop Button” at length on, you guessed it, our podcast...

I guess we’ll agree to disagree. Good luck out there.

one of my classmates is married to a navy pilot - they are both 31, and i asked him about top gun. you can bet your ass he and everyone of his buddies has seen it

During plebe summer at the Naval Academy (1997) one of my squadmates revealed that she had never seen Top Gun. She was roundly mocked, nicknamed Goose, and since plebes aren’t allowed to watch movies or listen to music, our platoon had to re-enact as much of the movie as we could remember, including the music. The…

I am freaking giddy right now. Brandon Routh IS Superman to me. Returns was flawed, sure, but it got Superman right and Routh’s layered performance came at the right time as a depressed 16-year-old dealing with life stuff and got me out of my cynicism. I can’t wait to see him in the suit again. Now, to get him on the…

Maybe the film just wasn’t for you and the people involved weren’t mind-rapists?  Just a thought.  

Is there a filter which allows you to only see other players as, e.g., Black women? If not, there’s only one type of player who seems to be getting the power put in their hands.

Its ok to offend racists. Fuck them. Why would you worry about offending them?

I read the first few paragraphs before it seemed to be abundantly clear that you have an axe to grind with this type of game and should not be the one reviewing it.  I stopped reading there. 

There has been a big push in modern games to make the gameplay “reveal” itself to the user through play rather than bore users with tutorials. I admire the effort, but when they site how old games never held your hand, well, that’s not really true. All those old games had manuals listing everything from the basic…

I believe I am most of the way through Trials of Mana, and I can tell you that if you’re on the fence, you shouldn’t get it. It kept most of what was bad about Secret of Mana and added some more bad stuff.

Why would you when you have these fantastic tips right here that respect your intelligence and don’t hold your hand, in addition to warning you against using guides for other versions of this game?

This is great, Chris, thanks so much! I’m playing through Secret of Mana first before I dive into Trials, a game I’ve been waiting for for close to two and a half decades. I beat Secret on the SNES in the 90s, but I’ve played in many times since then and never played past the Upperlands. In any case, this will be…

This is a very helpful guide. I’m hoping they’ll do what they did in Japan when those players complained about the lack of manuals and patch them in. By “patch them in” I mean downloaded onto the switch, not adding a browser link that’s clunky and only works when the user is online. (There are a handful of games where…

It’s pretty unbelievable that we’ve gotten to the point that there aren’t any manuals at all for a lot of games. We went from thick mini books that also doubled as mini art-books, to bare bones instructions, to a picture of the controller with what the buttons do, to no instructions at all just safety and warranty…

Because it’s literally a line drawn on a map. That’s it. It’s not real.

My girlfriend on long car trips loves to play the “Name all 32 NFL teams”-game.

I think he’d make a great Blackagar Boltagon.

I think it gets complicated by the company’s context of botching so much of social media and some of the rumblings from the show floor about how this latest demo was handling race. That’s a problem with the genre as a whole, but it doesn’t sound like 2077 is approaching that sort of thing with the greatest sense of…
