so we got one gamer article about a guy calling people a homophobic slur saying he’s not homophobic, and we got another article about a guy saying he doesn’t like women leading things saying he isn’t sexist. These people need to get educated.

on a related, but totally unrelated to this guy being sexist and the politics…

I would totally play this game, I love puzzle games, they’re super fun and relaxing and I like the design aesthetic. I tried the demo and it was fun, but its $40 or $45 for a few hours of play? no way. The biggest issue I’m having with switch is the cost of games. Re-releases/ports/remasters/etc. should always be…

I loved this article, thanks! The fact that this guy says he’s not homophobic, but calls people homophobic slurs is so telling of the extent of ignorance we have in the western world. It reminds me of one of my favorite daily show sketches about racists saying racist things and then saying they’re not racists, which…

I def agree with Tim - the spirit of the games is what is important, not rehashing sequels over and over. I actually just made a post on my kinja blog (my first post EVER) recently about how crazy it is that indie PC devs have not reinvented a genre of games similar to Heroes of Might and Magic - the old 2D ones that…

This is a really interesting article, I never would have guessed any of this from playing the first Bioshock game. I also could not disagree more with the comment from another user that I just read about Israel being necessary. The obsession with national borders and identity based governments is one of several…

so...you complete each of the 8 individual stories and then the game just ends? there’s nothing after that? that does sound incredibly bizarre. I pre-ordered the game, and i’m gonna play it cuz i loved the demo, but these articles do make me concerned that they messed up any sense of an actual primary plot.

I may give it another shot on Switch but i’ll probly need to buy a microsd card. Is there any word on if all these updates/expansions will be released in a timely fashion on Switch as well?

great article - it’s weird, I’ve been playing tons of video games since I was 5 (I was born in 83), but I did all my online socializing through online forums and chats. I played some MUDs but did that with friends in real life, other than that I had a horrible NYC public internet connection (it took about 45 minutes…

I always can’t help but compare this to my childhood, where everyone just assumed you’d NEVER beat most games you played. Most of my favorite games as a kid - Super Mario Bros, Contra, Battletoads, TMNT, Little Nemo, Ecco the Dolphin, Golden Axe, X-Men, etc. etc. they were all impossible and I never beat them and…

This perfectly exemplifies peoples lack of understanding about labor protections, the power of unions, labor laws, etc. People should NEVER be fired for what can at worst be labelled a blunt internet communication. It should be illegal to fire someone for that and in many places it would be. This isn’t someone posting…

Actually you can do that. There’s nothing outlawing it. It doesn’t merit losing your job. People think they can say whatever they want to someone at their job and guess what...you can’t. Arena made a mistake - they had an opportunity to have a positive discussion about interactions between the game community and the…

Is it feasible to just allow players to instantly choose any ranking lower than their current? It may increase the amount the amount of good players at low rank, but it may also decrease the amount of boring or horrible games.

This is a great article - thanks for writing it! You touch on some of the larger issues at play that I always think about. I have a social work background and have worked with a lot of people with mental health diagnoses, and I myself have major depression and anxiety.

This issue of gaming addiction, to me, is just…

great article! it’s a goddamned masterpiece. I’m at 30 hours and I still can’t get over how much there is and how much I still have left. Currently doing everything I can to avoid Watcher Knight until I get some better offensive charms heh. That battle is the first one where I feel TOTALLY unprepared with where i’m…

“if you want people to take games seriously and treat them like art, these types of discussion are essential.” that’s exactly what I was thinking. Art is political by nature. Arguably the biggest game in the country, Monopoly, started as an anti-landlord anti-monopoly game....and was bought out by a corporation over…

I am new to Lumines, I got it and am liking but I face a weird thing I’ve rarely ever had in games which is...I can’t really tell what game mode I’m supposed to play? The game modes are kind of confusing. Is the basic game mode supposed to be the endless mode? And am I supposed to beat the entire mode to unlock all…

One of the most amazing old school platform games that often gets forgotten is....Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers. It’s ALL vermin pretty much! I loved that cartoon as a kid and holy crap was that game good. One of my faves up there with Duck Tales, Mega Man, Mario, Little Nemo, etc.

It’s incredible, I’ve gotten completely sucked in the last few days and have about 12 hours. I just want more and more and more amazing non-AAA games. I miss the days of just solid good games like this where everything isn’t an endless multiplayer open world. I just want GOOD games and Hollow Knight is just that.

Ys or Xenoblade Chronicles 2? I wanna get one, I’m thinking Xenoblade just cuz the used price is dropping steadily. I have been hankering for some good ole console RPGs.

agreed totally on prices - hopefully Nintendo will pick up on the very simple idea that reasonable prices = significantly more sales and profit
