As much as I love the idea of someone pulling an Andy Kaufman it just feels like the subject matter and intent in this case would undermine the effort. Best case scenario: using the same pen name someone releases an article called “How to steal a profile picture, lie, and then make everyone care through hatred”, a…

Agreed. I clicked the link, saw the line at the top that said, “I write things that become things,” and decided it’s a troll bragging about trolling. I’m out. My heart goes out to the people for whom this hits too close to home to ignore but for those simply shocked by the awfulness of the whole thing I would…

Ah, thank you. I’ve been trying to keep up with this stuff just to have a vague idea what’s happening in esports simply because it's relevant to games and I’ve been struggling to piece together what the hell this all means for some reason. God bless you and your four clearly worded sentences.

That second shot is one of the most Easter egg-y shots I have ever seen. I thought I saw Samus so I backed up to 0:05. I did. And Master Chief, Chun Li, Cammy, Toad, some iteration of Sonic, a GameCube, and possibly Victor (Edit: I mean Demetri) from Darkstalkers as a painting. On my phone and can’t snag a freeze…

I made the comparison after a hypothetical softer rewording of your original statement and don’t mean to diminish the efforts of indie devs but the parallel remains: people are getting used to paying for less complete products. That is the end of the comparison. If you’re bringing over-promising and the dangers of…

Have to respectfully disagree. The game released fully playable if a bit underwhelming for most and hung around until its 2 $20 DLCs hit thanks to satisfying gunplay and a raid that people considered exceptional. The DLCs added about what people expect: more guns, more maps, and a new mode each. The expansion hit at…

I always try to check out these Fine Art links and normally my reaction is “I love art, this is nice.” This though... I want the Emily Chen Collection hard bound and set next to my Amano collections yesterday.

Wow. I’ve nudged fellow bartenders before and predicted the drunk demands of customers with decent clairvoyance but this guy nailed it. Blizzard basically just walked in, broke a heel, shouted “It’s my birthday... Shots!”, ordered one lemon drop, one white gummy bear, one pineapple upside down cake, no wait, three…

I wasn’t aware anyone old enough to make this reference could use photoshop. If I mail you a floppy disk and an extra stamp could I get a copy of this for my desktop?

Huh, Last Blade 2 is getting a PS4 release. That’s an amazing but obtuse fighting game to re-release. I had that on Dreamcast... Why now? I’ll probably pick it back up especially if there's online play but what a weird choice.

I’m not totally shocked that Angry Birds could wind up being pretty good simply because it has little to no story and is a mobile game. There’s zero expectation there and it feels very much like the modern equivalent of turning action figures into cartoons (like GI Joe in the 80's).

Since it didn’t appear on your 20 must play list either I nominate Grandia 2. Do not see that game getting much love these days and the last time I saw it mentioned online was when that Child of Light game was about to come out. Nice Brave Fencer Musashi reference though! I somehow get reminded that game existed once…

Ok Patrick, I have to know: “as well as a new line of 12-inch figures. Plans were also afoot...” Tell me you paired a bit about 12 inch figures then used the word “afoot” as a transition on purpose?
