Allen is definitely a creep, but this article can’t even justify itself. Twice the author writes that the age of the female character is unclear, that she is possibly 21, but then unequivocally states “Allen is currently filming a movie in which a middle-aged man has a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old girl.” The…

He’d probably just stand there saying nothing.

For the last fucking time, no one wants to play Sega with you.

I watched Alexander this week. Having just watched Troy the week before it was impossible to not note one identical scene, where the hero of the story in a vulnerable moment finds a knife held to his throat by a woman who had previously been under his control. In both cases he disarms her by asking her to kill him.…

I like the idea that your animals take exception to your reckless lifestyle.

Stardew Valley and other indie games are satisfying because they were made to be played and to be enjoyed, unlike so many AAA games which are created by a committee and to satisfy the suits and marketing people instead of gamers.

It is definitely charming and cute and almost disarmingly naive at times, but I’ve run into two characters who dropped some pretty sobering commentary. These are in no way story spoilers, just some NPC dialog, but here’s what they said, so NON-STORY SPOILERS FOR YONO AHEAD:

No indications to date, unless you count the hopes that radiate from my own heart as indications!

Another thing that really excites me right now is that it’s really quite possible that we’ll get another SM3DW game in the next few years!

I claimed my account yesterday. Only thing I want it for is the game section.

Mikkeller? FUCK THAT SHIT. PABST BLUE RIBBON!

I watched Daniel Radcliffes farting boner corpse in Swiss Army Man.

Blade Runner: 2049 was really good, and this is coming from someone who was left a bit cold by Arrival. The story’s strong, the atmosphere is intense, the visuals are wonderful, it’s maybe a bit long but I didn’t mind that too much. Pity it’s apparently not doing too well, I would like to see Dennis Villeneuve’s Dune…

I skipped on seeing Bladerunner 2049 this weekend, but I had a very good reason. I went and saw a screening of an original 35mm print of Night of the Living Dead. It was worn, with splices and a lot of repaired sections and dupes and yet it was glorious. Something old and ragged and haunted and perfectly suited to…

Probably easier for me to answer “When are you not gaming?”

Someone posted on Twitter the other day that Yoshi’s Island sold 4.12 million copies, which is definitely a lot more than I expected

I did manage to pick up an SNES Classic after all last Friday. The major retailers in my area all seemed to get around 50 units, which was enough for anyone willing to line up by 8 am or so. My long term goal is to beat (in most cases, for a second time) all 21 games, and make a locked save state of their endings. So…

Maybe I’m all wrong here, but ARMS felt like a thinking man’s fighter to me, a strategic one. It wasn’t about knowing the right combos or being able to enter moves in as fast as possible. It’s about anticipation, counterattacks, and defense. Much like the Splat Roller in Splatoon, it feels like a wilier counterpart to…

I’d love to join put sadly that’s 2am UK time. Perhaps we need an EU event...

Metroid Prime, all day, everyday.
