Yes yes yes, buy the dash at least, and an upgraded gun ...

Last week, I played and finished the Titanfall 2 campaign, which was as great as everybody said it was. I even managed to dip my toes into multiplayer for almost 10 minutes, only to be dismayed by seeing that the “Super ultra perma-zoom Titan that constantly slides back and forth without ever stopping” BS from…

That is the most hilarious game trailer I have seen.

Damn, I sure loved Hyper Light Drifter. Have fun with it!

Woot! Starflight! Good luck with those. I played them as they were meant to be played, via DOS on a 286. Good times. And in case you were wondering, yes, it is actually possible to win both games. I beat Starflight 2 myself, somehow, and I saw others beat Starflight 1.

A while ago I had an idea for a post-apocalypse sorta game, but where instead of shooting mutants, you had to build stuff. But not build, as in “put three giant things together according to a recipe, and ta-da, a giant new thing appears.” No, I imagined actually cobbling together simulated parts that had simulated…

In case you missed it, Hollow Knight is an absolutely wonderful little Metroidvania.

Kid Chameleon ... the Kid with Many Hats ... and a skateboard.

My gaming life has been rather dull of late, especially because I am refusing to buy anything, despite the raft of alluring new releases. All disposable income has gone to Warmachine minis at the moment. So, no Divinity Original Sin 2, no XCOM2, no Stellaris expansion, no Nier Automata even though it’s on sale, no…

I played through something like half of the game, maybe close to two thirds. It was my first time playing a modern open-world drive and shoot, so the novelty lasted a bit longer than it might for a lot of other people. I had a lot of fun, but eventually just got a bit bored of it.

I know I spent a bit of time grinding to level up a bit, but I never remember my items sucking too badly. I did join their premium club for a month or two, because I’d put a ton of time into the game and wanted to give back a bit, so that might have helped a bit - good end of adventure items got doubled for that. I…

I really have not gamed much at all this week. I lost momentum on NBA2K17, and have yet to return - I really want to like the game, but just can’t get far enough into it to actually like it. I’d kinda like to get the new XCOM expansion, or the Stellaris expansion, or the Cities Skylines expansions, but I spent all my…

The inability to sort and separate and contain content is just destroying the AV Club as a whole. It’s just un-usable.

I’ve been a bit off gaming this week. I finished the game of Civ 6 I’d been playing, and then just haven’t felt the itch. Instead, I’ve done some reading, painted some figures, and been watching boxing. I got in a 75-point Warmachine game last night, and was absolutely thrashed by the local expert, but it was a…

Man, Prey was awesome, and in my opinion its refusal to do much rewarding was one of its key features.

Totally agree, Hissing Wastes was just spectacular.

CNTRL-B, just like in word.

Sigh ... Level 1 ...

The two things I’d like now are for properly nested sub-comment threads, which is almost certainly a lost cause, and to be able to choose how many comments to display by default - and have the option to display all comments by default. I really dislike having to constantly tell the site that I actually want to see…

This series didn’t change so much due to a creative shift, but rather because the whole medium evolved alongside it - Ultima.
