“Oh good! Mandatory fun!”

I take it they want me to “PIN ‘IM!!”

I played “Forbidden Island” with my girlfriend and her family and we had a pretty good time. Given that it was my first time playing a game with them and they didn’t hate me afterwards is a good sign of the game’s cooperative quality. It’s 2-4 players and similar to Pandemic in that you can choose different rolls with…

YEESSSSSS Finally a place in Japan that I’ve actually been. If anyone out there skips “tourist-y” places on principle, do not skip Asakusa, especially at night. Tourists go there for a reason.

I wonder if it’s like a sexy “uncanny valley.” Of course they find it unrealistic, because they’re women and know how they would act and what’s actually enjoyable. Meanwhile, two men getting it on allows for just enough distance to focus on the eroticism and not the possible absurdity. See also: “Lawyers can’t enjoy…

I laugh Every. Time.

Synergy!

I personally really liked Sleeping Dogs, and I think part of it is that I hadn’t played any games like it. I played (but never finished) GTAIV, loved Red Dead Redemption, then messed around a bit with Just Cause 2.

Even donating to modders who use other peoples’ assets seems like it could cause acrimony among the community, though I admit I don’t exactly have my finger on the pulse of this particular scene.

I played through all three...and they’ve kinda blended together in my head. But they all offer something. The puzzle path offered the chance to give up in frustration and look up a solution online. (Oh, so I have to click on the stone door in the Labyrinth three times to get it to open? That’s it? UGH.)

I'm glad I wasn't the only one!

Fair enough, but were the composers/sound designers at Relic using logic when they came up with Homeword's music and ambiance?

To be fair, the people making Homeworld *did* stumble on that solution. So maybe it's just one of those things...maybe Space Drums are a universal constant?

The Slantermann Telegram.

I wouldn't be surprised if that's just what they're using in their training platforms / promo videos.

I came here to make this comment. Well done.

Oh, they've been trying to do that for years now.

You may be well acquainted with the following factoid, but if not, enjoy:

"Prior to G.I. Joe's relaunch in 1982, Larry Hama was developing an idea for a new comic book called Fury Force, which he was hoping would be an ongoing series for Marvel Comics. The original premise had the son of S.H.I.E.L.D director Nick Fury…
