Remember when everyone and their grandmother hated Final Fantasy XIII because it took twenty hours to get good? Sixty hours is half again the total runtime of some classic JRPGs.

Second-person POV is awkward enough already without bringing sex into it. Who is this person you're calling "me," and why do they have zilch in common with me?

Related to Blackmon's article: there's a bit in Papers Please where a government guy asks if you know anything about a terrorist group. Giving him info immediately gets you arrested as a suspected terrorist. TV Tropes was completely baffled and listed it as a "Violation of Common Sense." If you grew up in Soviet…

All these Christians saying God loves you and will patiently wait for you to come back seem kind of passive-aggressive.

This is surprisingly non-toxic. I'd say I agree with six points out of eight.

When you rename it, make sure not to call it a saga. (And heaven help you if you say anything about candy.)

Honestly, I couldn't take this game seriously after Lucas got superpowers and had zombie sex with Carla. (I still can't believe I'm typing that sentence.)

I'm all for protecting against harassment, but given Quinn's background, I'm not sure how equal-opportunity it's gonna be. To give one example, the anti-Gamergate crowd harassed the living hell out of a girl who dressed as Vivian James at a convention (who they insisted must actually be a guy in drag.) Would Quinn…

What interests me is that they're siding 100% with MYM on the contract dispute. The ban is for being an asshole about it. According to them, Wolski can resolve the whole issue if he just hands over some necessary tax documents to the relevant people.

I just can't see myself playing this the way I'm supposed to. Like being mean to the girl with paint on her . . . I would never pick that, so why would I experiment with it? If I ever play this, I'll probably go through it once and see what comes from the things I want to do, then shut it off and never touch it again.

I'm not sure how heretical this is . . .

Life With Archie #16 was trading for $50 on Ebay not long after it came out. Hell of a way to "destroy a franchise."

So there are two future storylines, but they talk as if he's dying once? Interesting . . .

He actually updated twice since the last time anyone posted the strip in the comments.

This game gets SO much easier if you're not above 25% encumbrance. There were several times I got my ass kicked, and then I realized I'd forgotten to put some heavy item I'd picked up in the bottomless box, and once I'd stowed it, I was unencumbered and didn't have a problem anymore. (This is also why Havel's Ring is…

Stray Demon's basically just Asylum Demon redux. You can't stand in front of it, you can't stand behind it, and it sometimes does this really annoying area attack that hits to the side of it, but once you start to recognize the motion it makes before it does the area attack (raising its club perpendicular to the…

When you're trying to make a joke in your headline, and you want it to be in the style of Colbert, it's important to remember that you're not actually Colbert and you probably can't pull it off as well as he can. (This also applies for the late George Carlin.)

In my town, street musicians are pretty variable. The folks from the church are pretty good, and I kind of like the guy with the didgeridoo, but killing the shirtless white rapper would probably be a community service.

It's got an interesting mix of cheery and eerie, like a more brightly lit Miasmata. I'll be avoiding spoilers for this one.

This guy looks like he's five minutes away from getting a red card for something.
