The same thing happened to me! I didn't realize I should have auto-leveling off, so all the "stop Ashley from shooting Wrex" options were grayed out. So she shot him and then a few minutes later I'm supposed to be having this terrible, heart-wrenching decision about who to let die. I was like, "Ashley! Ashley! …

"Water is for quitters! …. I'M A QUITTER!"

I would have said AC4. Up with pirates, indeed.

I don't play multiplayer anything (other than MK8) on my Wii U and I adore it. Super Mario 3D World and Captain Toad are completely, 100% worth it. Even you're even remotely interested in those games, you won't regret giving in to temptation now.

If you like Black Flag, Rogue is much the same only better and slightly less repetitive (scenery-wise, at least).

Captain Toad is wonderful. It's better and more challenging than the mini-games in Super Mario 3D World.

Amen to that. That was the first open world game I ever played — the first real serious video game I ever played — and sometimes I think it's just all downhill from there for the rest of my life. I would give anything to be able to go back and play it for the first time, to feel that sense of wonder that a video…

I'm one of the few people on Earth who unabashedly loves the AC series. Black Flag was so much fun! I didn't play AC1, but really, really enjoyed AC2, Brotherhood, and yes, Revelations (the locations were fun and I love the character enough that I wasn't bothered by it not offering anything new in the way of…

2014 was the year I realized that I am a fan of sci-fi. I never in a million years would have said that, but this year I really thought about and decided that if Mass Effect is your favorite video game of all time, and Star Trek: TNG is one of your all time favorite tv shows, it might be time to admit you like…

I'm completely obsessive about getting all the chests and treasure-y things but refuse to collect the animus points. That's what makes me feel like I'm in control. I can stop at any time! ::shifty eyes::

Are you liking Rogue? I, too, am a glutton for collect-a-thons. Moar chests! Moar chests!! I do like that the locations are much more difficult to navigate than they were in Black Flag. At least now I have to use my brain to go from chest to chest to Viking relic to chest…

I just started watching the Suchet Poirots a few months ago. The two-hour episodes are much better than the one-hour ones, but they're all delightful!

I totally want a Christmas Fisherman sweater dress! Seriously, that was a cool version of that. Thanks for sharing!

When I saw the title of this article I thought, "Unison!" I lived in Arizona one Christmas, and I put that song on repeat while driving to and from buying my tree. Verspertine always makes me feel like I'm back in what-counted-as-chilly Scottsdale weather, surrounded by cacti covered in Christmas lights. A few…

I just started watching A&E's versions of the Hercule Poirot mysteries. I always preferred the Miss Marple books, but Poirot is awesome on screen! The performances are fantastic, the scripts are fabulous, the design is impeccable.

"The War Council"! That's awesome! My best friend enjoys watching video games but hates playing them; she's too type A to deal with the constant failure. Meanwhile, I love using the controllers but suck at solving puzzles and my spatial awareness is non-existent. So she tells me what to do, and then I control the…

I finally started Guacamelee and I love it. I don't understand one thing, though. Throughout the beginning of the game, I never touched the right trigger. But since getting the power to do dimension shifts, I can't seem to hit any other button without also reflexively hitting the right trigger. It's like Juan is…

Not a lot of social options + sitting around the house = gamers heaven! Get yourself a Wii U and a copy of MarioKart 8! Best vacation ever!

I got Destiny probably because I was secretly hoping it would turn out to be a prettier Mass Effect. Now I'm wondering why I don't just go back and fire up Mass Effect instead. I'd save money and be playing a better game.

One of my favorite Tomahawk songs!
