I actually have the same response. I just wish, you know, that the delay was until June, instead of September. 

cantjustletthatgo nailed it. They didn’t steal the joke, they just used the joke as an accepted comedic touchstone and then riffed from there. It’s very indebted to Seinfeld, but it isn’t stealing.

Exactly. Though, I would like to point out that Jerry says “But you yada yada’d the best part.” Elaine says, “No, I mentioned the bisque” and they all exchange knowing, seinfeldian glances.

Seinfeld was, indeed, a very funny show.

This is actually very interesting. I would agree that Faden is one of the sexiest game characters, and precisely for the reasons shown here. Yes, she is pretty, but mostly she is competent, thoughtful, and powerful. That she is also a more “real” person than videogames tend to make women really goes the extra mile: hav…

That investigation is honestly the only good thing about it. It gives you plenty of clues, but expects you to think it through, and figure things out. And they also let you just fuck it up, which is great. It’s a highlight, and the rest of the game is just janky nonsense.

I hate it. I watched for 7 hours in a row. Terrible.

The Earthsea book is amazing, but I do want to give it a big ‘ol caveat. The first book is a strange kind of YA, but it is definitely more YA than you would be expecting, the books after are less-so, but still in that kind of genre. Well, you know, in as much as Young Adults are interested in the power of language,…

The best experience for Witcher 3 is with a controller. PC vs PS4 doesn’t matter. If you have a nice PC, that will look better, but they play the same. Definitely play it though.

Do you guys remember the Middle Out revelation scene from Silicon Valley?

Oh, come on, the combat is also a lot of fun. I mean, it grows tired fast because there is no reason to keep doing it, but, you know, I had fun going through the very mediocre campaign and playing a little endgame content before I tired of the four endgame missions that exist...

The original audio is noticeably crackly and degraded. It does not sound good at all. It’s also a fairly low quality recording (there is a low frequency hum in the Unit Lost bit, in the Reinforcements Have Arrived part there is a bit of a heavy breath, etc.). While this is fine enough for a game from the mid 90s, if…

Yeah. I was all-in, too. I skipped it at first because of the terrible reviews, and then I played it knowing that it had problems and I had to adjust my expectations way down. It was still a crushing disappointment. The combat was just terrible and not fun to play, and man, it may have had a lot of variables, but it…

I mean, look, I understand. It’s a Half Life game. But damn, I hope that this is very temporary. The Jake Rodkin, Sean Vanneman combo is EXCELLENT for story based games. They proved it with Walking Dead season 1 (the rest were a real step down, narrative wise), and they improved it with Firewatch, and this just looked…

When you buy a switch, they give you the games. Just make sure when buying that it’s the new version (all-red box).

  Oh wow. The money. The time. I’m jealous of both.

They have indeed. A game like Lone Echo absolutely nails it, and makes the world feel amazing, and like you are a person (robot) interacting in it. The same goes for Asgard’s Wrath and Stormland.

Ugh. that is a fair point.

Yes. They said it will run on all PC VR headsets, so using the link will be fine.

Don’t get me wrong, when you’re playing, you mostly forget about the floating hands, but it extra immersive when you have a full, real body.
