Hmm... The race is on... will the world open back up and will I be able to go back to work in time to afford one this year? Wouldn’t it be nice if it came out at a slightly lower price point due to the financial crisis hitting large swaths of the world? Who am I kidding... I’ve seen what is happening with the…

Yes! Replaying through XCom 2 WOTC on easy with mods. There is delight in the certainty of victory. Will I play this way forever? Of course not. But 100% sword crits with my ranger slicing through hordes of unsuspecting alien overlords? That is something I totally need right now.

The number of hours I spent leveling up characters in Temple raids against the Cult of Sirius in XCom Apocalypse with my squad named entirety after characters from early The Wheel of Time books... This definitely gives me those vibes and I can’t wait.

Oh man... The ability to access and manage my wishlist remotely. That's all I want. Although maybe it's better for my wallet that I don't have it.

Trading off between Beat Saber and Box VR, and an exercise bike on alternating days. Since the EPL and MLS are both on hiatus, I’ve been playing career mood FIFA while I bike, getting about 4 matches in an hour, which is a decent work out. Gaming as exercise for the win!

One of the best scenes in Superhot, imo!

Sorry to hear you are having that experience! That sounds frustrating! I must have lucked out... Played on a launch PS4 and didn’t have a single enemy pop into existence. I plantinum’ed the game and maybe had one crash. It would have been a whole different experience the way you describe it... Hope it gets better for…

Let me preface this by saying I’m in. I would play it (whatever “it” is.) But I’m guessing the thought process is that like you alluded to, most non-Jedi games would feel like reskins of existing games. Battlefront, for how great it is now, is often considered an arcadey answer to Call of Duty or Battlefield. A Dr.…

I absolutely thought TROS felt like a direct sequal to TFA. As such, I enjoyed it. I think TLJ does some of the most interesting things in the series of 9 and also fits in the series the least. Was TROS flawed? Totally. But I still got a rush at each of the little nods to the previous films. I consider myself a…

I hear what you are saying, but I think it still should be left to the choice of the individual consumer. Spoilers happen and you roll with it; my wife’s step-daughter from her previous marriage famously and accidentally spoiled the big character death of Force Awakens to me, and we still laugh about it (I’ll get her…

This article’s headline is a disappointing way to manage expectations a day before a movie comes out. If you want to spoil it for folk who don’t care about that sort of thing, that’s great for all of you and they can click on the article, but having this be the headline splash on Kotaku for anyone to see seems shitty.…

My bachelor party was a group of close friends of various gender, alternating rounds of Cards Against Humanity with Jackbox party packs. I think we ordered some chinese food? It was perfect.

Oh, man. I saw Tank Classic on the list, thought of the old Atari game, and briefly thought, Hmm... maybe I check that out? ... No, you fool, this is literally an article telling you not to download this!!! Crisis sheepishly averted.

I watched the 7 minute pod-people trailer when it came out, got creeped out and then sucked in, and pre-ordered it the day it became available. Every preview I’ve seen since just confirms I made the right choice. Looking forward to trying this tomorrow! (with the curtains in my living room firmly closed.)

Yup. Travelled from Boston to San Francisco on Thursday and played Fire Emblem for about 2.5 hours until the switch gave out. Travelled home yesterday and spent the rest of the time online seeing how much I can trade my switch in for towards the newer model!

Me at minute 1: These two are creeping me out. I think they might be brainwashed.

Is it possible to give you more stars? Also, it's spiritual predecessor, Bushido Blade!

I don’t mind if by “remaster” they mean the switch version won’t support hdr and 16k and polyoptic granulated particles and the like. I hope it has all the same gameplay content. I’ve been waiting for this on the switch since I got a switch, and this is from someone who played the hell out of it on ps3.

Aso, everyone, go see the musical when it hits Broadway. Saw it in Boston, and it was amazing! Never given a standing ovation in the middle of a performance, until this show.

Ready to pick up my 6th copy of Final Fantasy X on Switch come April. Time for some more blitzball! And to pretend that I'll actually play X-2 this time!
