What Have You Finished This Week?

Played a good amount of games over the holiday break. Haven’t played the past few days since the wife and I are in the hospital with the birth of our son! Everyone is happy and healthy and we’re going home today! I was going to bring my switch but decided I had more pressing responsibilities in the hospital. If…

As much as I get how ugly the N64/PSX graphics are, it’s really nice to see a game actually try to explore it. With all the (S)NES nostalgia, I’d actually enjoy a return to exploration with early 3D game design. Plus, the main theme is pretty rockin’.

I just meant to say thanks, but apparently my autocorrect felt I was really trying to yell out random holidays like l’m affected by some form of festive Tourette’s.

It seriously does my heart good to see all the folks who’ve been around since Gameological’s beginning still contributing such thoughtful conversations. Thanksgiving, everybody!

What maybe should be in mine, but isn’t, is Horizon Zero Dawn; I only gave it a few hours and want to try it again, but it just wasn’t engaging for me after Zelda. Though there’s still a lot from this wonderful year I want to try: Resident Evil 7, Golf Story, Persona 5, Splatoon 2, Cuphead (a pipe dream; I don’t have…

What happened to the A.V. Club?! This article is complete self-righteous garbage.

Yes, damn that Matt Damon for having his own balanced opinions on these issues.

“You’re an Uber”

TONIGHT...#Wii U# MK8 on the 8th is OFFICIALLY OVER. There will be no more Wii U scheduled racing for Gameological because creating Tournaments was intrinsically tied to Miiverse. I’m sorry I didn’t think to create a permanent Tournament in time, but it’s appropriate to give the reins over to Switch and embrace…

Sorry for the double post, but because 2017 in particular had so many darn outstanding games released, I wanted to do a separate thread for personal top 10 lists.

/cheer Battle Chef Brigade praise!

Cable news, at its worst, is Fox News. At its best, it is merely worthless.

The Picross series (along with all the other cute little puzzlers that live in the DS family) don’t get nearly enough respect. That game is a beautiful hybrid of minesweeper and sudoku and I love the f out of it.

I’m not sure what I’m playing this weekend. I’ve been busy with Christmas shopping and various activities and just flat-out haven’t played much in the past week, so the field is wide open if I carve out some free time.

I’d like to begin this week’s post by talking about Poison Counters.

Time to reminisce.

Are you familiar with the phrase, “The banality of evil”? It’s the central lesson of the 20th century? That anyone can fall prey to ideology and commit atrocities? And we should examine it, polite manners and all, and that the concept that examining it is some how an endorsement/normalization is insidious? Because it…

Sean — and I say this with an incredible amount of respect for you as a writer (one of my favorites on the internet), a journalist, and a person — this is legitimately clickbait bullshit. The mountain of qualifiers heaped in the second half of this article practically unwrites the first and proves that point. Except…
