I could be remembering wrong, but I feel like I was playing Bastion on the iPad of all things before it was on Mac. I suppose I could just check the game's wikipedia page, but it's alllllll the way on the other end of my browser window.

Funny you mention the rise of the iTunes store in proximity to Ratatat's release, one of my first iTunes purchases was the Germany to Germany b-side "Noose," because I enjoyed the LP so much but there were no longer record stores that would sell indie singles.

Seems like the right place to bring this up. Would there be any interest in forming a Gameological Driveclub when the game launches on PS4 this Autumn? I do not know how these communities are formed but y'all seem to have had a decent amount of success in Gameological communities in games like GTAV and the like, this…

I still haven't forgiven Nintendo for not localizing Captain Rainbow, the Wii title where, among other activities, you needed to find "proof" that Birdo was "a girl" (an implied vibrator in Birdo's dresser drawer, which proves nothing, as we've seen from this week's Louie).

Yeah! It's Mario and Princess, not Mario and Luigi! Wait… waitaminute, that doesn't work…

You guys are thinking too small. <- clicky

One of many topics that hit the cutting room floor on this video (we don't want to bore you with our hour-long conversation) but yes, absolutely, we both agreed to immediately wanting a new Jet Set Radio-alike that allowed us to paint our own tags instead of the abbreviated version here. I'd be surprised, honestly, if…

Its current whereabouts are Brooklyn. As for how I obtained it, I worked in an office that published a Björk art book and, to celebrate its publication, they blew up a dozen or so images from the book's files onto foamcore and posted them around the building. When the office moved, the boards had to come down. Many…

To your concerns, yes, you are a bit overwhelmed by the baddies at the start, but it helps you learn that evasion is one of the most essential skills and really emphasizes how much you power up through the game, as those same soldier are no problem at all later on. And while readily-available power sources are not…

I look forward to writing off "nut butter" on my expenses next tax season.

Ooh, that's a great idea for future digestables. Let's make a grand Jell-O mold with anchovies, broccoli, and cubed ham floating inside of it.

I think I had to sit on a phone book and lean forward my first Digest shoot. Teti is a deceptively not-small human. That and I have awful posture.

Not overtly, especially as it was all of our first times playing, we just each keyed into the mindhive steadily over the first few turns. The first go 'round the table was just establishing who had low cards in two colors and then seeing who decided to play first so we could work up from there. The hardest part is…

You just need to trust that everyone is on the same page. Somebody points at another player and says "You have a 1." Then the next player points at the same card and says "You have a red card." Now they know it's a red one, and the group is working on a red show. If nobody then calls out "You have a 2." then we know…

Nice! I finally played Hanabi with some friends a couple weeks ago (one guy had been pushing it for months). Really quite fun, but easy to win if everyone picks up on it quickly enough. I finally got Mascarade last week and it's my new favorite party game. A group of four of us played five sessions in about an hour,…

I am firmly in the camp of "Keep Nintendo Weird." I've been playing Rusty's Real Deal Baseball every now and then for the past couple of weeks and I'm finding the story far more captivating than anything Final Fantasy or Uncharted have to offer. Rusty, the character, is just so pathetic. He's hit an all-time low and…

"But Link’s Awakening is not so black-and-white."
True, it was more dark-green-and-somewhat-lighter-green.

I hope there are at least three breakbeat Darren Korb songs on the soundtrack, because the one in the trailer is hot hot fire.

One of these April Fools Days, I swear we're going to see concept art for Journey 2: Don't Stop Believin'
