Haven’t played Uncharted 4 yet so I can’t comment on the game but none of the buzz I’ve been hearing indicates they shoehorned in SJW themes. As for a daughter rather than a son, honestly doesn’t seem like it makes a big difference. Especially given how wonderful Last of Us was and that was Joel + Sarah and then Joel…

Oh he studied writing and has good taste. Forget it. Everything he says is correct. I mean... he studied writing and has good taste.

Who invited the fun sponge?

Nice touch with the serial numbers being the pokédex numbers.
Although I would have added some letters:
VEN-003 (Variable Energy Nexus), for Venusaur
CHA-006 (Combustive Hydrocarbon Armament), for Charizard
BLA-009 (Ballistic Long-range Armament), for Blastoise

Which is clearly not the case here, since “ludonarrative” is literally the word coined to describe exactly what this trophy represents. Using the precise word isn’t smug, it’s communication. (And, in this case, really damn funny.)

1. It’s not really confusing or non-existent. It’s just vague and relies a lot on symbolism. What little detail is there is pretty straightforward.

At the time of release, the controls of this game led my friends and me to just assume that Dash was an alcoholic. The health pickups quickly became 24 packs of icehouse and cartons of smokes, and everything else just fell into place.

Someone needs to git gud apparently.

You never die for unknown reasons. The reason is clear, you f’d up.

Yes you do not have to be a certain race or gender but if you are the only one outraged by it and not the people that are actually involved in it than you are just in for some moral crusade. You are not fighting for them you are only fighting for yourself.

PVP is simulated by characters displaying a “humanity” token, which permits other players to take their character piece and throw it as hard as they can out a window.

Great post. You’ll be hated and shouted at for it but I completely agree. Plus you know people don’t understand how being the most well armed citizenry makes it that much harder for tyranny. First thing Hitler did was confiscate guns.

You.

Damaging...to gaming...

Dark Souls 3

Just quit. Quit apologizing for being normal. It’s funny.

If those other humans are trying to kill me and my mates? Hugging would be the least of my reactions. I would proclamate a God damned “We killed the bastards” national holiday and the fireworks would be in the form of exploding starkiller bases with hundreds of thousands of tinny stormtroopers dying in the flames.

It’s a scene that encapsulates a new generation of actors taking the reins of Star Wars. The celebration in A New Hope after they escape the Tie Fighters is very similar but somehow kind of old fashioned. This scene is in the same vein, but they’re stumbling excitedly talking over each other, similar to how the youths…

Ugh, this is such a poorly worded section of this article, feels designed to illicit misplaced rage. You can buy the boxes that drop the gear if you want, at LL3, then use your current gear to infuse it. Or, you can get three a week very easily (one just shows up in your mailbox every week), that also drop at LL3 and…

I replayed Ground Zeroes last night after getting pretty bored with endgame stuff in Phantom Pain, and it’s weird how different GZ feels than TPP. I mean, obviously time and development helped TPP with that, but still, there was something more... espionage-y... about GZ. Something a bit more grounded (seriously, no…
