Describing "a part of it" as being unbeatable is pretty charitable, that game was downright enthusiastic about rendering itself unwinnable. It gave you a hint system that locked you out of getting to the end of the game if you used it more than, I think, three times. And that's not even to mention the fucking soup…

Ooooh, yeah, perfect choice. The Zero Escape soundtracks all occupy that space between eerie and chillin' that this Inventory is all about. And the games themselves are nice and spooky, even if they aren't exactly pure horror.

Repulsion is a terrific choice, I think pound for pound I actually prefer it to Rosemary's Baby. What really surprises me about both those films is how empathetic they both feel towards their female protagonists, and how uniquely sort of "feminine" the horrors contained within them are, especially when contrasted…

Genuine Class!

Yeah, I wouldn't call this one boring or anything, since the character work it did with Clara/Doctor/Danny was all actually pretty good, and helped the three of them work on a lot of the stuff that had been hanging in the air between them, but the actual plot was just a big load of nothing. I was really confused when…

Kiba's death in Suikoden II is what always kills me. He goes into it knowingly, accepting it with dignity and honour, because it's objectively the best thing he can do for the cause. Between how Shu asks Kiba to essentially throw his own life away for the cause, how Kiba responds to that request, and how Klaus…

Oh, it's no coincidence. That shirt looks really good on you by the way.

D'awww, you remembered some of my other work. I should actually really get around to kicking the dust off my personal site soon, I've got at least three articles in various stages of production for it…

Years of playing JRPGs over summer vacation has left them permanently associated in my mind. Every year over the summer I have a nice leisurely re-play of a favourite RPG, usually Final Fantasy VII or IX, a Suikoden, one of the first two Wild Arms games, something like that. Usually something from the PS1 era, for…

Man I didn't get to this thread until after this guy's shit got deleted, but if that's what he was coming up with, I'm pretty glad I missed it.

Oh, so there's a unisex style and a women's style, but no men's style!?!? THIS IS WHY WE NEED HUMANISM PEOPLE.

You're tough but fair, Whovian.

This guy has been hitting the StopGG2K14 tag pretty hard, and has even had the guts to go wading through 8chan to find some of their shit. He was posting 8chan screencaps a while back in which they were reassuring each other that the tag was "90% bots" and that the guy who started the hashtag had ties to ISIS, despite…

Respectfully, I'm going to suggest that just because these things aren't important to you, that doesn't mean they aren't terribly important to lots and lots of other people. There was an article on this site just the other day about how much representation in media matters, especially to people whose sense of identity…

I can sympathize with being sick of seeing and hearing about it, but that doesn't mean it isn't important or that we should just ignore it. If you're tired of it, and don't have much stake in it, then by all means. But this means a lot to a lot of people, myself included.

As Farnsworth said, "Woah there hitler" is an in-joke here at Gameological.

I love a good survival horror, and I'm a massive Alien fan, but I'm honestly a little worried this game will upset my ulcers. Watching the original Alien stresses me out, and that movie's only like 2 hours long, and I can hide behind a cushion if things get too overwhelming. Calum here says the game took him 15 hours…

I'm having flashbacks to when I would be within reach of the school doors at the end of the day, only for my bullies to drop out of the air vent in the ceiling between me and the exit.

I think it's natural for a game with such a specific and unpopular vision to divide people like this. If this hadn't been published by a major industry titan and didn't carry a massively popular license, it would almost look and feel more like a Super Meat Boy style indie game, remarkable purely for the fact that it's…

If it helps cool your rage, the hashtag #StopGamerGate2014 has been trending for about 30 hours straight on Twitter, and was even trending worldwide at the height of its popularity. Popular media commentators, online personalities, and Seth Rogen of all fucking people have gotten on board with finally and specifically…
