“Dev figures game would croak on Steam, instead it’s leaps into the hearts of fans who find it ribbetting. Plans sequels to avoid losing Steam.”

As someone who has been a big fan of the franchise since the first English release, I can give some good perspective on why Fire Emblem was on its deathbed when Awakenings came out; it largely comes down to a string of lackluster efforts from the developers that felt like they were just phoning it in for quite some…

For those who worry this is too sadsack and unproductive - try eulogizing your past year. So much of our time on earth is spent wasted because we don’t critique how we spend our time. Eulogize your life as you’ve spent it for the past year. Is that how you’d want your real eulogy to go? If not, what can you change,…

I used to not celebrate my birthday, because I felt like a shitty person whose existence did not deserve celebration. (It doesn’t. Total fucking waste of oxygen, me.) But a couple of years back, I decided to start celebrating being a part of the world, which is really an immense privilege when you think about it, and…

I got $21 and some change in my Nintendo eshop account. Do I wanna pick up Super Meat Boy or is there another game someone can recommend?

Your videos give me life. Make more of them.

Mike, question: as a gamer, I mean you know when something is absolute BS right? I think everyone is on the same page that this is some of the worst implementation of loot boxing going. And some of the worst value for money for customers.

So this thing I never hear from game journalists (and I am super open to being…

Do you think that games journalists magically have more than the 24 hours in a day the rest of us have to contend with? Like, once you become a professional video games journalist, you get secret access to extra play time in between family obligations, work, household chores, trips, errands, other hobbies, etc? Do you…
