Amber Heard was charged with beating her girlfriend in her previous relationship and her girlfriend put out a restraining order against her for domestic abuse.

Saw St. Vincent in Philly last year, she blew the roof off the house. She even took one of her singles that I’m not really a fan of — Cheerleader — and turned it into a real headbanger. It was difficult not to be exhilarated. A friend I went with flew in for the performance, and beforehand I asked him if he wanted to…

No, it’s not.

I’d be fine with a clean port that includes a CRT filter to help make the game look as originally intended.

The Chrono Cross remaster is fine, just bare-bones.

Given how they fucked up the Chrono Cross remaster, I don’t have much hope for FFIX...

My second thought was: maybe that money and time could have been spent making a new Max Payne game instead?

Half of me says, “Yes please,” and the other half says, “maybe no...”

The new Kirby game has proved the perfect salve. It’s so charming and full of joy, a complete palate-cleanser for the dourness of Elden Ring. Every time Kirby smiles and does a little wave after saving a waddle dee, or dances at the end of a level, it makes the day a little bit brighter.

Probably a good time to point out that Johnny Van Zant was 14 years old when (Pronounced ‘Lĕh-’nérd ‘Skin-’nérd) was released. He did not join the band until the 1987 reunion, which would be ten years after the plane crash that killed half of the original members. It has done nothing significant during his tenure.

I mean the way I look at it is the AI enemy mobs are decently tuned for hmwhen you encounter them.

That section in Castle Morne is where the Soulsborne genre feels most archaic. The practical solution is to do what we’ve been doing in MMOs for decades: take out your bow or whatever range attack, and leash a target, to take them down one-by-one. It’s so very game-y for 2022.

The monthly price is more expensive ($18 vs. $10), but the annual subscription is as much as 12 months of GamePass ($120). Microsoft does not offer an annual subscription at a discounted price. Also, unlike the base GamePass, the highest tier Playstation Plus comes with online play, and for $60 less than GamePass…

I would too. But I doubt EA will ever invest the resources into what’s now probably a niche fandom. The last release was 2012, so there are teenagers today who have never heard of SSX.

I don’t think a lot of people deserve this masterpiece.

But I DO want to scrutinize it

I’m a massive SSX fan, but even I can see that these are two different kinds of games aimed at two different playerbases.

Getting those runes back when you’d otherwise lose them decentivizes grinding

Tree Sentinel is probably the most obvious one, I think it’s pretty intentional that it teaches new players that not every encounter you come across has to be fought immediately.
