Hit us up with a link bud!

Fun fact: Suikoden Tactics, in addition to being better than Suikoden IV in every conceivable way, also features the full version of Rune Punishment, of which the IV version is just an excerpt. Why is the full version of the track only available in the spinoff sequel and not the main game? I'm sure there are many…

Nier is basically what happens when all of Drakengard is as good as its music.

Woof, this takes me back. I had this game back before I knew that it was possible for stuff to be bad. I just kept playing the first level over and over again, not really properly comprehending how stomach-turningly bad it was. I think I got to the second level once, which was like a driving stage? It played…

Solid choice. Even the shittiest Sonic games always have great music, and this is the shittiest Sonic game of them all. Crisis City is a pretty gnarly track as well.

Woah, a new Lupe album? Man, I remember when Food and Liquor first came out my friends and I were all fucking crazy about this guy. The Cool wasn't as lean, but the best stuff on The Cool was just as killer as the best stuff on F&L. His slow, unstoppable, fiery collapse after The Cool was pretty hard to watch, though.…

Oh my goodness, this is such an honour, I hope your mom likes it.

I like Cole a lot, and wish I had more of a reason to travel with him more often. The next time I'm just tooling around the Hinterlands or wherever, and I'm not too worried about making sure my party is absolutely ideal for combat, I'm going to bring him along and try to get some banter out of him. Considering how…

I think Cole greatly approves either way. I remember seeing the greatly approves message and feeling comforted that I had done "the right thing," but really I ought to have known that it was more complex than that. They both really did seem like viable options. I guess I opted to push him towards being a Spirit…

DO IT RIGHT NOW.

I guess in sci-fi/fantasy settings the smart thing to do (and the route Bioware has traditionally taken) is to include real life concepts like bigotry and prejudice, but apply them to fictional demographics. So, in Mass Effect, nobody anywhere ever will doubt Shepard's credentials if she's black, or gay, or whatever,…

I spent, no lie, almost a full hour in the character creator, exactly customizing a beautiful freckled redhead Inquisitor, only for the actual game to start up and reveal that she looked like a jaundiced scarecrow in 99% of all camera angles and lighting.

Hahaha, on my most recent ME3 playthrough something went wrong with my character importer as well. I ended up with a Shepard whose eyes were just slightly too far bugged out of her head, so every time she blinked, instead of her eyes closing properly, her lids would clip into her eyeballs and her eyelashes would stick…

I was partying with the chargers recently and was given the option to ask a bunch of really invasive questions to Krem, which I decided to tastefully work around. I guess in a way it all makes a little bit of sense. Trans people can barely catch a break in the Twenty First Century, I can't imagine it would have been…

Update before hitting the hay.

Oh yeah, Sera may be best girl, but she's also a total, crazy jerk. I haven't gotten too much information out of her yet about her backstory or whatever, but one of the things that fascinates me about her is how much she bottles up for someone who, for the most part, is happy to let just about everything out in the…

With every year that passes it becomes more and more likely that we'll put a man on Mars before another Suikoden game comes out. There was that crappy pap PSP spinoff title that came out a few years ago now, but that almost feels more like an insult than an attempt to rekindle interest in the series. Hard to believe…

I think I get extra loser points for writing my comment in advance so that I could be one of the first people to comment… on my own article.

I envy your ability to discuss Inquisition in fewer than 50 000 words. And hell yeah, the art on the codex cards is astonishing. I think my favourite one is actually Cole's. Bioware could probably make a tidy sum if they sold an actual card deck with that sort of art.

Hello my very best of friends. As I mentioned in the article, this weekend will be my second with Dragon Age: Inquisition. Last week I mentioned that I was sort of drowning in it, and struggling against its newcomer-unfriendly lore, incomprehensible inventory screen, and surplus of time wasting distractions. Since…
