Nostalgia was never a great reason to play Classic, though. I think a lot of people asking for Classic always knew that. It was always about the way the systems worked pre-Cataclysm (or even pre-Lich King).

Amid a gaming culture that continues to casually toss around words like “cancer” and “addictive,” I find the “savage” complaint to be rather limp.

The time to boost is at the start of an expansion, not right before the last patch of one.

Imagine that ... people in the comments section jumping to all kinds of false conclusions just so they can have another opportunity to show their most toxic side.

Because Star Wars minus the Force equals Babylon 5, that’s why.

It’s so funny how so many internet writers have NO IDEA how many utterly basic people exist in the world. People whose tastes are simple and dull. People who are impressed by pretty colors and flashy effects. People who couldn’t possibly pass a 200-level college course in literature.

Crocky is about a million times better-looking than Chewtle, so ...

I’ve already decided I probably won’t spend any more money on Hearthstone next year. I don’t know if that counts as a resolution, and I may change my mind after they start teasing the next expansion. BUT since I hate hero cards and they just put five more of them into the game, I’m pretty confident about this.

Sorry, but no. This is the article where that conversation should have occurred.

The conbat system of Ni no Kuni 2 is NOT an improvement. It is an utterly soulless copy-paste of the system in every goddamned Tales game.

I find that even when I build my own deck, it turns out to be so close to the popular lists that I just save myself a lot of time - I instead start by copying a list, then I tailor it to suit my tastes and play style.

I did not have high hopes for any of these things (except Pokémon), and I can’t imagine why anyone would.

Jeopardy! clues contain extra hints all the time. Anyone who has actually watched the show is not surprised by this.

It’s been on my wishlist for ... well, about a year now. Looking forward to it!

One of the greatest tabletop RPGs ever made! It’s high time we got a computer version, though I can’t imagine it will quite capture the utterly unpredictable nature of the game.

Those questions were entirely appropriate for a network game show.

Or, you know, vote for legislators who will stand up for unions and labor laws.

Enjoyed the game a lot in theory, but it came to be at that unfortunate stage in game evolution when the graphics were painfully over-reaching the capabilities of the hardware. I just couldn’t force myself to suffer through the ugliness even though the story and systems were pretty decent.

Ending doesn’t matter if I’m too bored by the gameplay to make it there.

Incremental progress is still progress.
