A number of characters in this game have some nasty kill confirms around 75%-125%, so I don’t have any problems with ol’ ‘Zard getting one himself. Maybe that will encourage Pokemon Trainer players to stop spamming up and down air with Ivysaur. 

I will hopefully be continuing three quests this weekend, though who knows how much progress each will produce.

The only solution to this is to watch blind playthroughs on Twitch to live vicariously through others. 

Must be an international conspiracy then since there are two other reputable streamers going for the same run, all of whom have done the components of the run in various configurations and settings. And a damned good conspiracy to pull it off live, every day, for months on end. It's all proven to be possible by a…

This was awesome, and such a crazy accomplishment. I’m really happy Hob finished his run before Sekiro, would’ve sucked to take a break after so much work. 

I usually 100% agree with this sentiment, but a great deal of the allure of Tim Rogers content is the cadence of his speech. 

So one really interesting thing about Central Yharnam is that it does such a good job of teaching players what to expect in the rest of the game, while also maintaining the mystery of what the game is about. You go through it and it really emphasizes this concept of a city overrun by gothic beasts and mobs out…

Dark Souls III and Bloodborne are two of the most mechanically-satisfying games I’ve ever played. Really incredible kinetic design all around, made all the better by their fantastic worlds and lore, and that hard-but-fair From challenge.

I was watching that live. Heartbreaking and a little hilarious. I’m glad it happened in the end for his BRB videos, because I know Hob is going to finish his run (hopefully soon).

I bought it once for me, and I’ve got a Nintendo Switch download code in the wings to give to a friend. I’d buy it a third time if it would get someone else to play it and then buy Silksong.

You’re welcome, I paused to read all of that. :)

I’m a huge proponent of the WASD V2 with Cherry-MX Clears. The keyboard is clean and business-like if you want it to be (completely customizable), has a great heft and solid feel, and lots of nice little quality of life features. The MX Clears are the best typing switch I’ve ever used (just the right actuation force,…

I feel like the laws of internet cultural entropy dictate that this cannot last, but I hope it does. It’s such a beautiful, and aspirational, sentiment that Nintendo could have cultivated a polite and respectful culture entirely through game design.

The Metroid Prime Figma is the best.

I was compelled to take photos in Breath of the Wild all the time. Even made a dummy Twitter account so I could get them off the console.

You and me, both. Playing on PC is easily the best overall experience for me, but I really do miss my nigh-voiceless God-slaying Awoken Warlock who is languishing on Xbox at something like 250 power(light). I’d also like to be able to take my Hunter from PC and move her around to Xbone and PS4 to play with friends on…

As a recent father of a beautiful 6-month-old baby girl, it would be much shorter to list the games I haven’t abandoned (Smash 4, Mario Kart, Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne, all pretty much played in perpetuity).

All the best to Mike and his family. Here’s to hoping we’ll see his particular brand of shenanigans on Kotaku sooner rather than later, but definitely only once he’s been properly taken care of.

Dang, now I have to get this dumb Miib.

Much deserved! Nintendo hardware over the decades has always been some of the most imaginative and use-focused in the industry (in the typical Nintendo fashion of “identify a hook, explore it as thoroughly as possible”). Not to mention Takeda’s hardware team(s) have produced some of the most important innovations in…
