What Have You Finished This Week?

Heat Signature really is fun. Note that this is not really as wildly high-action of a game as it sounds like from my description— a core part of the gameplay is that once you’re on board a ship and dealing with guards and turrets etc., you are pausing the in-game action every few seconds (at least when the action…

Are you talking about Ravensholm? I heard that people prefer not to go there, but other than that, I know nothing about it. Can`t... wait...? (cowers)

Cool post! How fun was that to randomly befriend a Nintendo designer? Whereabouts do you live that you would run into such a person?

I loved Pyre as well. Who did you manage to “liberate” (or whatever the term is)?

Life is Strange definitely drags in the first episode, improves significantly in the 2nd, but the 3rd and 4th are pretty amazing. There is a certain scene in 4, I believe, with Chloe in the junkyard, that is absolutely soul-crushingly intense. Buckle up.

I’m living at my dad’s house between leaving my old apartment and moving into a new house (my first ever!), so even though I’m working from home, it feels like one huge extended weekend... not necessarily in a good way... just unstructured blah. So! Video games!

I know, right? So, I didn’t even buy it on purpose, it just came with Portal in the Orange Box (this was how I got onto Steam). And I wasn’t into “shooty” gameplay at the time. Plus, one big issue with the game that has kept me away from it is that it causes me motion sickness about 75% of the time when I play... so…

Thanks, Matt. You and the team have done a great job keeping the site running through various evolutions (reintegration into AV Club, the infamous Kinjapocalypse, etc.), and yes, I’m sure the site and the community will keep going strong on the foundation you’ve built. Thanks for all your hard work. So what’s next for…

I’ve been meaning to play the New Vegas DLC for years (I have only done the base game), but now that I know Old World Blues contains something called a “protonic inversal axe”, it’s climbed a lot higher on my list of priorities.

Ha, -1 Agility. That would make things difficult. Like, you’re always spotted instantly and also you can’t aim a (small) gun. Nice.

OK, thanks. Yeah, I did actually launch them and it was a lovely show (probably cleared out a few Mirelurks or Deathclaws down in the valley), but there were some hints, in the computer terminal in the satellite station to the far west, that implied that the scientist who wrote them was trying to figure out how to aim…

First of all, a friendly reminder that you have until tonight (Eastern time) for the 60th edition of the Game Revue Club in the Gameological group on Steam! Here’s the Web link:

Thanks! No worries, even I don’t get around to playing a fair number of the Revue Club games, but as long as a couple of people share their thoughts, we get some exposure for whatever games the group is currently interested in. I’ve definitely picked up some games just because they were nominated enthusiastically…

By the way, for the Game Revue Club nominations, that’s Friday the 27th. Sorry for that, and thanks to Merve for catching it.

I am finding lots of fascinating and useful items in containers that haven’t been opened in what seems like centuries, so there’s that.

Once again, I haven’t had tons of time for gaming this week, so let me focus first on this: Nominations are now open for the 60th edition of the Game Revue Club in the Gameological group on Steam! Here’s the Web link:

Congratulations! It always feels really good to check a big one off the list like that. I’m not much of a 100%er myself, so I totally identify with the feeling of “Yep, done enough with that game, see ya later.”
