The last couple years I’ve found myself trying to get into Madden again. I understand football enough but strategy is never something I’ve spent time with, so I bounce off of it pretty hard (that and the sheer amount of control variations which I get tired of fighting).

Very happy to see that Gameological has it’s own subdomain!

I didn’t realize kinja’ing also meant changing the entire publishing platform to the one with the stupid hyperlinks

Last weekend, I tried out the Xbox freebie, Slime Rancher and ended up playing it about 8 hours more than I expected. I focused more on world exploration than grooming myself a perfect little farm, but I really had a good time with it. It does a very good job at teaching you game mechanics through observations instead…

I've had Splatoon 2 for 20 whole minutes and have already discovered that I'm obviously not cool since I don't have a "Fursona".

Oh I hadn't seen this when I wrote Taco-ma below…

It's actually pronounced "Taco-ma" so it's about something entirely different.

Is there any sort of backstory to the idea that all these people are battling? It seems like it could be ripe for one of those narratives learned from the world you arrive in. You wake up, plummeting to earth, without any knowledge of how you got into this mess. Your survival increases your knowledge as to why

Looking forward to diving into this entirely cold. As I was playing mario kart online, I realized that not having voice chat, or any way for another player to directly contact me, really improved the experience. I don't need to be reminded that I'm consistently in 10-12th place. (I LIKE playing with the wheel dammit)

I too found the demo to be a bit boring. I was willing to cut the battle system a little slack since it was so insignificant in the demo, but the swapping of characters to unlock doors/engage with things was what really kept me from buying it.

FF 12 is probably the only PS4 exclusive I really am going to feel I missed. It did not click with me the first time around. I wanted to play it like a different game than it was. I still made it through about half of it before something else took my interest. And now that I see it for what it is (basically its Pikmin…

That style of t-shirt has been entirely recreated for nerds by the company Splunk. They give them out as swag at tech events and I'd wager 60% of system operation folks have some sort of black t-shirt with a wise crack about parsing data.

When I picked it back up the other day, after about 3 months of not playing it, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed by it all. I was leveling some side jobs and I also couldn't remember what island I left off at. It really helped that I was in the current timeline, where there seemingly are never any monsters. I generally…

I don't know if anyone feels this way, but I always feel like I've got yet another newly unplayed game every week or so. My attention span for a game is sort of a problem as I get really bored after I figure out the how the internal system works and what the pseudo-rpg experience system will unlock.

Dion probably isn't aware that Zenimax has, at least, 1/2 their staff in the legal department.

But potatoes don't have arms

I actually had to read that as a possible history because I somehow missed the entirety of whatever the hell Dawes is or was.

Oh, I hadn't considered that Morrowind could become playable on my xbox. I could put in another 6 hours before bailing again. (I think i've tried to play this game 4 times now)

After a month that has kicked my ass, I needed something with near-instant gratification, so I reinstalled Sunset Overdrive.

Well I think I bombed my phone interview that I studied for most my free time the last week so I suppose I may relax now. I think I'm about half through Alice Madness Returns which is starting to feel like it's not even worth the $3 I spent. It's just wants to be a game so badly that it has to sit there and constantly…
