For some reason I found it very amusing. And perhaps I have a special attachment to it since it's literally the only game I have ever been able to enjoy together with my wife— she otherwise has no interest in playing games and seems to look on my gaming habits with a sort of benevolent but baffled amusement. She got…

Did you ever play Rabbids Go Home? Pretty hilarious 3D platformer (… I guess that's what you'd call it) with all Rabbids, no Rayman. Although some of the Rayman vs. Rabbids party game collections were pretty fun as well.

Undertale is pretty fun, and "deeper" than it looks (as you probably already know). Some of the boss fights were a pretty huge pain in the ass, I have to say.

The thing with Renegade playthroughs is that so many of the relevant options are incredibly idiotic and it's impossible to imagine a successful soldier (regardless of your backstory, etc.) saying most of those things. Especially when it's with your own crew— what possible use or interest is there in being an asshole…

OK, I am in the middle of Fallout 4 right now, but I have the "Ultimate Edition" of New Vegas and I have been itching to get into some of the DLC myself. As @CrabNaga:disqus mentioned elsewhere, Old World Blues is supposed to be the best… I might make a quick hop over to my PS3 for the first time in months and get in…

Getting in here a bit late because I have been frantically working to catch up on work after a few too many late nights in Fallout 4 earlier this week. It took me a little while to warm up to it, but I guess you could say I've finally caught… Uranium Fever (sunglasses/YEAH!!!).

And then, we spend lots of time dissecting what the article is doing and how it deflates the fun of it.

"Dr. Handsome don't have to cuss in his posts to get upvotes."
Well, I do.
So fuck him, and fuck you too.

So mean!

Right…

Exactly! See how disturbing??!

Closing sequence was pretty great. I took what has to be the canonical ending and swapped into the visiting scientist. Just imagining the rest of those two people's lives was disturbing enough on its own.

Have you played The Swapper? Killing off (a clone of) your character is literally a required gameplay mechanic, and the sound the clones make when they die corresponds far too accurately to the crunch you hear when their head bends the wrong way when hitting the ground… (shudder)

I guess I'm talking about what range of content counts as "coming across as misogynist" by this or that different standard. Seriously, this track doesn't do it for me (and I have been married to a feminist activist since her days as a women's studies and fine arts double major in the 90s).

Well… I get where you're coming from, but at the same time, those male singers were also still just some humans who knew different specific people and sometimes wrote songs about them. What I hear you saying is that hypothetically they could have done more, but I feel like it's counterproductive to shoot down every…

So… from the lyrics alone, you can't necessarily tell about woman vs. man, but even if that's right… some women really are annoying, just as some men are. How is it sexist to write a song about one particular jerk person?

I dunno about "classic work of art", man… this album definitely had its detractors at the time. And I'm not just talking about conservative media— since this article mentions 3rd Bass, it occurs to me that they spent plenty of time slamming the Beasties for their frat-boy lyrics ("Screamin' 'HEY LADIES'? …Why…

Maybe I need to go back and try again. It sounded so fucking canned and restricted compared to what they could do in a live setting and/or with a proper producer (cf. "Psycho Killer", "Don't Worry About The Government" or, [semi-religious bow], "Love -> Building On Fire" compared to how they sounded on Name Of This…

OK, I made the connection just because I landed on Nation of Millions the same day as this article… but I suppose I can see where setting that record as the "state of the art" against which other records of the era should be judged is a tad unfair. ;)

The Beastie Boys are incredible. This album, not so much. I was into "Fight For Your Right" as a ten-year-old child, but by the time I hit 15, I had developed a profound distaste for that track, and "Girls", and everything that this album stood for (in my strident adolescent mind).
