I was very close to building my first gaming pc in many years but nVidia's new cards convinced me to wait for whatever they inevitably plan on releasing this fall. I'm not a pixel junky, but using less power and creating less heat is something I seem to care about.

I've got DQ 2, 3, and 8 on my phone. I wouldn't say 2 is bad but since 3 greatly polishes what 2 intended to do, I'd skip it.

Oh yah, Starbound just went to v1.0 I think… I was looking to try that out as I hadn't touched it in a year or more.

I did a little research in advance as I had first watched a gameplay video of the Wii U version and could not fathom how badly butchered a 3ds port of it would be. I downloaded it last night and played the first mission a couple times. Other then the fact that enemies seem to pop into existence primarily to get…

It's when "going out" morphs into "weekend away at the perfectly pleasant resort in the islands but DAMMIT its the weekend" that gets me sometimes. I'm sure I just have a problem because those trips are always fun

After years of wanting one I bought a New 3ds XL the other day in a moment of weakness. Something about Animal Crossing had been eating at me, telling me "I'm a deep, engrossing experience you can sink many many hours into". I really forgot how slow of a burn it is and how much charm it oozes. I think I'll be more apt…

I just got a 3ds, but entirely forgot about Hyrule warriors. So far, all I have is Animal Crossing, which isn't really playable for more than 30 minutes at a time. I'll have to check it as I'm a sucker for mass hordes of enemies.

If the movie really wants to live up to the source material a character must fall through solid ground at least once.

Well he *does* wear underwear…or is that just painted on?

During last night's airing of the first "muppet baby" Star Trek movie on cable, they had a number of ads for Jeep. I don't suppose there's a lot of control over when they place those ads, but it was a bit bothersome to see.

I always assumed Slimer's origin story was a bunch of marketing executives spitballing ideas around the room on "how to punch this up".

Sounds like you need a riding lawnmower so you can sip your Crystal Pepsi AND mow the lawn. Then later, drive said mower to the package store (because only where you call them "package stores" can you get away with this) and buy something for later.

Not sure if you have a xbox, but Divinity is on sale on it for $15 right now. That's probably what it is on the PC now as well, but its the first time I've seen its price reduced on that platform.

I've hit summer malaise. Six hours into a Red Dead Redemption replay, I've come to realize that nearly every great aspect of the game is directly countered with something less so. The stunning visuals give way to a lot of senseless horse riding. The "pop" of each gun shot when it connects with an enemy has to battle…

This would be perfect for the office.

Damn HBO, making reasons for me to keep my HBO Now subscription going.

I sometimes think I'd enjoy the Sims longer if I just gave in and gave myself a ton of money. I always try to play them "the right way" meaning I MUST rank up my stats and career to the detriment of say…just playing the characters as I envision them

Really? I have no idea why I thought that. I could swear W3 wouldn't let you apply oils in combat.

There are far too many times in the game where I felt you'd enter battle before you could be aware of what it was you'd be facing, causing you to not be able to apply oils. I admit, many of those times were caused by me rushing through monster hunts because I "just wanted to get something done today", but so many…
