Oh man, Poker Tower Defense was the best. Also, many hours wasted with Ninja Vs. Samurai.

I was a kid in the 80s and a teen in the 90s. We did that before The Internet was an excuse.

I mean, you could certainly make the argument that all information serves a public good and that part of a journalist’s job is cutting through the marketing cycle instead of just regurgitating what publishers want said. But let’s say you don’t believe in that argument. Here’s a good example.

There’s an important distinction to be made here between a leaker and a journalist. When someone leaks a document to the journalist, it’s entirely the journalist’s prerogative whether or not they want to report on that. They have not signed any NDAs and have no obligation to protect companies’ secrets. In fact, a…

Well said. I can understand how he feels like he’s found a community of friends, because he’s literally spent 16 hours a day for the past 2 weeks interacting with some of these people, and I doubt he’s thinking very clearly at 4-5 hours of sleep a night on the floor, pooping into a camper toilet that his girlfriend is…

Neat. Now we just need them to get the Breath of Fire Collection, I-IV on the Switch. I’d actually buy, that.

Neither of us had time to excerpt and post it, for reasons explained in this episode ha

You’re no slouch yourself, Jason. ;)

Seconding this!

Kirk, this is easily the best game review I’ve ever read, but also the best writing of any kind that I’ve read on this website. I enjoyed your creative narrative prose over the the technical trappings of FPS and other “data.”

This is why I’m definitely not expecting Cyberpunk to be anything amazing. It’ll be another CD Projekt game, and the people that liked Witcher will probably like it, which is good I guess, but these tweets are incredibly alarming to anyone in contact with LGBTQA+ members of the gaming community.  The politics of…

I imagine that Venn Diagram is a perfect circle--or close enough to it that you’d need an electron microscope to see the separation.

Law student here — the US Supreme Court has unfortunately held that you can waive your right to engage in class action litigation in most settings, including consumer litigation.

You’re going to catch some flak for this question, so I’ll try to make it very simple and non-aggressive.

Why isn’t there an article about me, the straight white guy who wears Levis andkicks your butt in FIFA?

Do you play online games? Try doing so as someone who the random teenagers you’ve matchmade with realize is gay and try to count how many “fag” references you’ll get. You’ll lose count before the first match is over. The gaming community at large is extremely homophobic and having queer gamers win things means a lot…

People are still catching a lot of crap for being in certain minority groups, so it shall continue to be important to spotlight diverse representation. YOU might not mind playing games with a furry or a woman or an old person, but that’s definitely not the norm in the gaming community.

In a word: Representation.
People of all stripes want to see someone “like them” in glamorous venues. It’s the dream, the realization that you too can become great. It’s projection; wish-fulfilment. But liek children need heroes to aspire to be great, so do adults.
