Dear Mr. Lynch,

Thankfully for the Chargers, it can’t be humiliating if nobody cares to begin with. 

It is so wonderful to me, from the game itself to every little tiny bit of its world and aesthetic.

It’s a good tandem: some tense combat and exploration with a solid feel of progress in Control, then a few chill cycles of charming exploration and chipping away at discoveries in Outer Wilds. 

Control. No! Outer Wilds. No! Control! Wait, maybe Outer Wilds! YOU ARE TEARING ME APART, NEW RE-LISA!!

Whoa.

GOL DANGIT, TEST! That damn numbers game!

Oh yeah! CPU tournaments/leagues are an overlooked feature of combat games, especially ones with custom characters. I would do massive MMA leagues in Fire Pro Returns and make up storylines as the results came in, and start to root for or against different characters for very random reasons. A great way to burn some…

I cannot overstate how happy I am I kept my N64 and WWF No Mercy. Now grab your controllers and head on over. 

Yes... If only he could make the reality of the Syrian war more... Cinematic. Did they even TRY to cast Jeremy Renner?!

“Gentlemen! You can’t fight here! This is Fight Night!”

I’ve been hearing about it on the podcast (though I have not listened to the spoiler cast yet) so I’m super hyped that I can play it when I get home tonight. I also just started Control, so I can balance out my space puzzle exploration with my actiony Beyond The Black Rainbow meets Office Space exploration.

Mind blown!

Ohhh, you want GOOD decision making...

A friend is hosting a Sicilian potluck party soon (they’ve been doing a monthly potluck based on a different culture for almost a couple years now) and I’m thinking about making focaccia pizza for it, so fingers crossed for your success. I definitely should do a practice run one of these weekends...

Pretty sure Master P and the No Limit Soldiers vs The Kiss Demon and The Misfits is just waiting for the call. 

That bowl of cinnamon toast crunch milk is so great, tell you what: I'm gonna get some friends together, and we're going to buy that bowl, leverage that bowl in order to put a lot of ads on the cereal, extract all the tasty pieces out, let the milk spoil, and then get rid of the cinnamon and sugar from any future…

Well, sure, not NOW you can’t, but you can’t spell the Fail Blazers without it or Greg Oden.

The real Shazaam is the smashboys we made along the way.
