Surely he’ll play Dragon to The Big Bad.

My coworker’s husband’s words: “She squee’d so hard the windows broke.” They’re buying this game exclusively for Mads.

I love you so much for the Animorphs shoutout.

This is awesome! I’ve seen some similar analyses as a games user researcher (telemetry data can get overwhelmingly detailed, though I don’t often work in it directly), it’s sort of amazing how these profiles can fall out of gigantic piles of data.

The usual:

I’ve been gaming since about 1990, when I was three years old, and have had every Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft home console produced in North America (or at least one variant per generation).

This is 15-20 years of unlearning to do, but I will give it a shot!

Several commenters mentioned this, and it’s a good point! I’m just goint to copy/paste this to them so nobody is neglected. I’m at work right now (such a great employee, commenting on Kotaku...) so I don’t have a PS4 controller to look at, but when I hold an Xbox controller, my hands aren’t perfectly symmetrical in…

Tomato, tomahto.

Come to think of it, it’s not so much holding L in BB... I don’t even have a shield! It’s having my finger poised to strike at any possible moment for a parry.

Missed this earlier, nice, thanks for the recommendation! I’ll look into it.

I think the biggest part for me is that with the Dual-Shock layout, the left thumbstick which is almost always used as your primary movement, is in the secondary position. When I hold the controller, may thumb naturally falls where the D-pad is, whereas on all other dual-analog pads, it falls on the stick. So I have…

Finally, someone makes a PS4 controller with the thumbsticks where God intended them to be, but it’s a corded pro pad that will likely cost north of $100.

I will never cease to be amazed by the creativity that fanatics within a community exhibit with very limited tools provided in a game. Granted, they’ve got way more dance moves than back in the “Saw something weird on Venus” days, but still, this is nuts.

I’ve been posting with this guy on message boards for like a decade, does that make me cool??

I am hyped AF, regardless of third-party support. I also love how beautifully optimistic that video is.

I use a WASD custom 10-key with Cherry-MX Clears at work, and it is wonderful for typing up long reports (or arguments on the internet when Duty Calls). The combination of the tactile bump (sans audible click of the blues) and the variable-tension spring, which firms up just a bit after actuating to let you know you…

I love when Shaxx gets excited if you nab a bunch of crests in a row. He’s much more enthusiastic these days.

Destiny: I’m now a poor soul that owns this on both Xbone and PS4 because I have friends on both platforms that want to play. So I’m grinding up a Warlock on PS4 to do the raids (old and new) while simultaneously grinding up my Warlock (and eventually Titan and Hunter) on Xbone for Wrath of the Machine.
