Wow, congratulations. I just had to bail on it because I was struggling so hard with some bosses that I got sick of having to trudge back from the nearest save point 20 times in a row. I’m a big fan of saving my game to preserve progress, so the Dark Souls thing where you have to find the (rare and far-flung) physical…

The Swapper really is something special. The write-up above mentions that you have to “abandon” your clones when finished with a puzzle, but the worst are the ones where you have to drop them from a height in order to solve a puzzle. There’s one early on where it’s just “thud, crunch, thud, crunch” several times in a…

All of these things are true. I would also like to mention that Mike Thornton (the player character) is incredibly funny in a super-jerky way if you choose to play him that way, with great voice work by Josh Gilman.

Gorogoa is currently on sale on Steam if you want to get it there! This is another one I bought in my recent binge, and a top priority for checking out soon.

What Have You Finished This Week?

Well, last week I went a bit nutty here as a result of the Steam sale and acted like I was going to play 10 different games or something. Based on this week’s meager results, here’s what I’ll probably actually be playing this weekend.

Thanks. Also, duh. I guess I just didn’t remember having seen that. Useful game ideas, in any case!

I know that you said “least favorite inventory in recent years” but I can’t resist an angry shout-out to the original Mass Effect. Everything is just all in one giant unstructured list for each weapon type, with no ability to easily look at item stats as you pick them up, a really crappy “compare” mechanism for…

Any recommendations for good indies on the Switch? I browsed the store a little (even though the interface almost seemed designed to drive me away) and saw a couple of cool things but since there is no wishlist function, I couldn’t bookmark them for later...

Absolutely, same here! About half of the games I picked up last night were under $3 (US) and none of them was more than $10.

Yes, it’s 75% off, I just got it last night at that price!

Hey everyone, long time no see! Maybe because I haven’t finished a damn thing in ages. Among many other things, though, there is one very positive reason for this: It looks like we are about to close on a house purchase! This will be our first home if everything goes through and the place looks really nice for my…

I had been trying to stay on the wagon with my “Backlog Quest”, playing only games that were already in my library that I hadn’t finished (or even played much of), and there are LOTS of those. But I had already been making occasional exceptions for a while, and last night the dam finally broke, to the tune of 12 games…

OK, so can anyone tell me how to get Fallout 3 running properly on Windows 10? I have tried a couple of the most commonly suggested fixes already (e.g. change a thing in an .ini file to avoid problems with threaded AI on newer multi-core processors, and set Fallout.exe and FalloutLauncher.exe to run as admin in…

ZODIAC MOTHERFUCKER IS THAT YOU POSTING FAVORABLY ABOUT THE WINNIE THE POOH MOVIE! AWESOME BRO

I haven’t played Overwatch in like 9 months, so maybe things have deteriorated, but I never had a problem with the community. Just mute chat. Done. Never saw any in-game behavior that was a problem, so I just ignored the likelihood that everyone else was probably bitching about my crappy strategy and/or bad aim all…

For the record, I just translated a whole book about BotW in which easily 80% of the discussion of the gameplay was just gushing, dewy-eyed praise... and the one thing she really singled out for criticism was the combat, specifically the “lock on” stuff where you hold ZL to get to the backflips and shield blocks and…

DL, you work in the racing industry, right? Are you super busy right now? What’s your take on that big 500 race you mentioned (swear I’ve heard of that before...)? 8^)

Wait, this is your big embarrassing sentence?

“In 1986, Nintendo’s R&D1 studio, inspired by Ridley Scott’s classic Alien, released Metroid, a NES action game which soon became a classic in its own right.”

LOL, sounds like Fortnite will work for me even though I also have a substandard PC for gaming purposes...
