Your true self sucks.

For the first time after about 6 years of not playing, I find myself wanting to play WoW. I told myself I’d never pay a subscription for a game again, so I think I’ll buy a few games on Steam, like West of Loathing to distract myself until the urge passes. I’ve also been playing Deus Ex: Mankind Divided so that I can…

We have Dishonored 2 but we no longer own the first game. Do you need to play them in order? Will I be totally lost if I start with the sequel?

I still have a crush on Alistair. *sigh*

I'm with you. Whenever they played that song on the radio, I would just sing The Eagles right over it. Did they ever get sued for that?

This week I finally went back and finished The Walking Dead: Season 1. I cried at the end and honestly, I think I feel more strongly about Lee and Clem than anyone on the actual TV show. I think I'll download season 2.

Your Alien Isolation point is spot on. That's the same reason my husband quit playing it. He got most of the way through and couldn't believe that the same formula could keep repeating for so long. Franchise lore and easter eggs can only carry you so far.

It is definitely an easy platinum. You will have no problem!

I was planning on starting The Last of Us this week, but I somehow got distracted by the free PSN download of Little Big Planet 3. It's a lot of fun. I don't know if it's harder than the original LBP, or if I'm just getting old and my reflexes are slowing down. I beat it last night, but I'm doubtful that I can ace…

I hope there's an issue about Turkey Volume GUESSING MAAAAAN! He is the hero Gotham deserves.

This week I played Life Is Strange. The dialogue was so cheesy at times, and yet I have to admit that somehow, I got pulled into the game enough that I cried twice! The atmosphere and music were better than almost any game that I can think of. I was totally surprised.

Luckily I am a stay-at-home-mom. My kids can't fire me!!! Bwahahaha!

You are awesome!!! My Rodrik and Mira are both shrinking violets, which just reinforces the fact that I wouldn't last 24 hours in Westeros. Asher always sticks up for Beskha, but you're right. I bet he will tell her to stuff it when he has to marry his old girlfriend.

I had thought I could get through the Game of Thrones AND The Walking Dead Telltale games before Uncharted 4 came out, but then final exams happened, so I guess not. I got to Chapter 4 of each of them and I'm sure I'll come back to them eventually. It's probably better to shelf them for a while than to rush through,…

Mom gamers can get some time in, too. I platinum-trophied Skyrim between being on bedrest for a few weeks before delivering my first baby and then being trapped on the couch nursing her pretty much 24 hours a day for weeks after that.

…and the senator wished so hard that he grew magical wings…

As a child, I saw the parody episode of Animaniacs way before I was old enough to be exposed to Coppola. Now "Hearts of Twilight" is all I can ever picture in my head when I think of this movie or its soundtrack.

This weekend I'll be cleaning up trophies in my second playthrough of Beyond: Two Souls. I heard a lot of bad things about this game, but I received it as a gift, so it sat on my shelf for over a year. But I'm just milling around waiting for Fallout to come out, so I thought, "why not?". It's far from the best game…

I don't know if this is true for anyone else, but over the years I've realized that my Boston accent only creeps back in when I'm really angry or if I've been drinking. I guess that means it's there all the time, buried underneath somewhere like a ticking time-bomb of ugly sounds.

Hmm, maybe that explains it. That would make sense. I keep trying to wring out everything I can from one playthrough because that's all I have time for. Oh well.
