Nope!

I have way too many games right now—was thinking about getting Persona 5 having never played a Persona game before, but realized I could get Persona 4 for, like, ten bucks so I did that instead, and I just got through the three hour (!!!) introductory sequence. I also picked up Mafia III, which is ambitious and…

I never played that one—sounds like I missed out.

This is reminding me of the Looney Tunes games they made for SNES—the Road Runner one and the Bugs Bunny one. They both looked absolutely amazing, but the controls were loose, to the point where you constantly felt like you were fighting against the game rather than actually playing it.

Yeah, that cooking thing just seems like a dumb oversight. Cooking is actually not terrible in this game! But it is needlessly complicated.

Yeah, I read that. I don't dislike the game as much as that guy, but honestly, I appreciated reading a write up from someone who didn't adore it.

So, uh, I have a confession—[looks around nervously]—I'm not in love with Breath Of The Wild. I certainly don't think it's a bad game, and there's a lot I appreciate about it (not having a side character constantly explaining the obvious is a big plus), but I'm maybe eight hours in, give or take, and it hasn't really…

Old joke I used to tell people: if I ever have a son I don't like, I'm going to name him Richard.

I really don't get this argument at all—I don't think that the lack of durability makes anything _more_ valuable so much as it narrows the gap between the crap and the really good stuff. I'm not as disappointed when I get a rusted sword or another club as I would be in a regular Zelda game, because I know I'll get…

Haven't had a lot of time lately, but I'm finally getting a bit deeper into Zelda—the hardest part for me right now is that I'm in a mood where, when I play video games, I really want a guided, gripping experience where I don't have to do a lot of the work. The whole point of Breath of the Wild seems to be leaving you…

Yeah, I didn't make that up. And since the ship was carrying people to Tycho, I don't think he was worried about supplies.

Skyward Sword would've been a great game if it wasn't so goddamn annoying.

Sorry, but I don't think I'd have much luck.

I'm trying to get into Breath Of the Wild but I'm struggling a bit. Partly it's just a matter of time—I haven't had more than an hour or two to play video games in the past week or so, but the praise for the game is so universal that it's taking me a little while to get past my expectations and get into the actual…

Well, at one point a character is reading Heart Of Darkness and then they start talking about Heart Of Darkness because I guess that's what this is all really about or something. I did not care for that. And I also think a "shit-ton of heart" isn't always a great choice because in a three hour+ movie (that in no way…

I mean—yeah. It was way too long and hugely self-indulgent and some of it was insultingly stupid, but there was nuance in the stuff with Naomi Watts and Kong. Like, if you edited it down to just the two of them (with a bit of Adrien Brody; no Jack Black, though—Jackson's version of Denham was almost impossible to…

If I had the money, I would've bought the Switch. As it is, I would've bought it if they'd had one in stock at Best Buy, even though I don't really have the money. Instead I got a copy for the Wii U and told myself I was acting like a grown-up.

yeah, that's kind of my point. That's what I should do. But we'll see if that happens.

This weekend I'll be really wishing I had time to play the new Zelda while having increasingly desperate arguments with myself about how I can't afford a new game system, and how dumb it is to buy something that clearly needs more time to develop, especially when I have a Wii U. Pray for me.

Apparently, in at least one draft of the screenplay, Joel and Clementine had gone through this process hundreds, if not thousands of times. I think the odds are that they'll probably end up bitter and bored again (I mean, what's changed? they've both erased whatever they learned from the last time around), but I still…
