I’ve had a good time playing so far—at least when I’m doing well—, but there are quite a few things that really agitate me, beyond all the little technical hiccups. Based on my experience, isn’t it impossible to win as the rebels after a certain point in Walker Assault? Because the AT-ATs move at a constant rate, you…

I’m a little surprised there’s nothing here about Star Citizen—with everything going on over at The Escapist and Roberts’ response. As a backer, that’s been . . . interesting.

We just need to make a game called “The Guide to ‘The Beginner’s Guide,’” in which we recount the act of playing “The Beginner’s Guide” to someone who, for whatever reason, is unable to interact with it, creating a hypertextual blend of compiled articles and comments about the game, with responses to those articles…

For the most part, the text does not operate within those kinds of formal parameters—merely using those concrete devices at moments where they are deemed appropriate, as both communicative of the plot and its related tensions . The majority of the book acts as a hypertext, utilizing series of embedded footnotes—so the…

Buzzfeed is really trying to up their news game. In the next year or two they’re going to be outclassing most other outlets.

“Ball’s in your court now, Big Boy.”

That has happened to me too. It’s never terribly long but certainly noticeable, especially when most of the time it is so responsive. I’m very impressed overall, though.

Yeah, that emblem creator. It’s funny. It worked fine the first time I used it but since I changed my word/symbol components it lags every time I open it. Still usable and the only technical flaw I’ve encountered—other than the server issues.

“Horrible misogynist” is a tautology.

^Out of context: makes me sound like a horrible misogynist.

Beat her with my tranq. pistol. Felt like a badass.

Thing is: I think an early release is the one thing that would make me pre-order a game. Except for this one. Because that should be “Tier 1” (all pre-orders). And: fuck Ubisoft.

So, have they added in a save feature for the multiplayer?

Praise the Sun, I guess.

The World of Balance was incredibly disappointing when I first played the game a few years ago. The World of Ruin, however, is absolutely incredible and I’ve never understood why more RPGs didn’t try to imitate that kind of late game structure—short of shifting the world map, which most games used as a means to cut…

This argument doesn’t hold much water. We could talk about even how a well-formed citizen militia wouldn’t stand a chance against modern military infrastructure or preparedness and be squelched quickly—most likely by a government bureau before the military even had to intervene. We could talk about how the United…

Should be “a cataclysmic event.” You go off of the first sound the word makes. For instance: “a horse,” “an hour.” If it begins with a vowel sound, make it “an” and vice versa.

Yeah, it is definitely some new information, but looking back: every MGS launch trailer has had footage of the game’s Metal Gear. It’s definitely a longer look. It’s also interesting how it compares with the original Metal Gear Solid trailer and the clips of Rex.

Future-me in Spring 2016: Finally.

I don’t think it’s literal. If it is, that just would not make any sense with anything we’ve seen so far—as in Ground Zeroes and all previous trailers. Seems more like a psychological resemblance, as this is the point at which Big Boss becomes the primary antagonist of the series as a whole, however undeserved in the…
