What a relief. I was afraid I found a way to get banned.

Seeing the packaging with the console being absolutely dwarfed by the controller is just surreal.

oh FUCK.

This. What’s more frustrating is there are people wandering around outside my place finding stuff and I’ve been unable to log on for like 3 straight hours

Look, I can understand being a fan of someone, but no matter who you are, I ain’t buying your blood.

I never tried the Pokemon before. Turns out I live right inside a goddamn Gym with some phoenix thing towering over me. I am so confused and overwhelmed.

Yeesh. Johnny Depp turned into Riff Raff?

Honestly? I think if Sega could take on the inevitable idea of taking 2-D Sonic and combining it with a Metroidvania-style hub world with some puzzle solving and gaining new abilities to traverse distances and reach new areas, I would be onboard.

In your slight defense, that’s a HELL of a lot of plane getting crammed into a functioning car.

Looks pretty damn good. Once Link started scaling buildings and sheer cliff faces, they really had my attention.

These God of War games always look amazing, and I respect any time someone makes a protagonist that’s not meant to be liked, but man, Kratos never seems to have, like, any likeability factor for me at all.

I see all this, but all that really stands out to me is the studded leather mouth mask thing stretching and warping to show the character is talking.

What is up with Microsoft’s obsession with square, flat, blocky design choices these days? Is this some weird side effect of buying Minecraft?

Maaaan. The only Quake I want has shamblers and ogres and stuff in it. Not this re-re-remastered version of Quake 3 Arena with perks or whatever.

Yeah. The pointy teeth on the skull seem like a weird standout to me.

Is it?

Hell, I want this Scorpion skin for real.

I dig the idea that the Doom Guy is some kind of Frankenstein’s monster. Random Space Marines have gotten way overdone as story elements, clearly setting him apart like this strikes me as a Good Move.

Yes! One of the first things I did was fly to the location the first alien gives that’s meant to be the final shareware quest. It took like half an hour to get there without the hyperdrive, but it could be done. ...I seem to recall I was destroyed by what’s waiting there before there’s even a chance to find out what…

Getting a bit of a Solar Winds vibe off this.
