Right! This game definitely tenses you up. I’d find that having taken on too many enemies (which was frequent), after I emerged victorious, my muscles would relax, my fingers un-cramp, my butt cheeks unclench.... it’s like I started to wonder if playing this was actually detrimental to my work/life/stress balance. …

Well, at least he remembered how big the cake was. The devil is in the details, you know?

Sorry to hear about your divorce.

Yeah, my kid has his own account too—and we also have two PS4s in the house. The one I play on 99% of the time is in my bedroom, whereas the other is in a common area. Only I use “my” PS4, which is super handy...I don’t have to worry about any tear-inducing shenanigans taking place. I also appreciate the fact that I…

also really, in any rpg, always have two saves and alternate save slots..

Give kids their own accounts? Hell, I don’t even trust my grown-ass brother without him creating his own account on my consoles. He’s already overwritten too many of my saves over the years that I can never trust him again. The damn boy’s 21 years old! He should know better!

Another lesson: give kids their own accounts. Even if they’re five and only play a little bit every now and then, you’ll want to set up a wall between your saves and theirs. Plus, keeps them from accidentally loading up something M-rated.

we have the technology to fly airplanes but no way to tell how many tickets we’ve sold.

Seriously. Tiny dick syndrome is one of history’s biggest killers.

Assad is someone who is willing to go to any length to stay in power. He is an Arab dictator in the mold of Saddam Hussein, who also deployed chemical weapons against his own people.

Christ on a flaming cracker, that vainglorious idiot is so wretchedly out of his depth it’s painful to watch. A belligerent, stupid man too bellicose and insecure to even fathom how utterly incapable he is at dealing with a minor traffic infraction, much less an actual honest-to-god international crisis. People will…

I’ve been kinda sucked into the game recently. I finished cleaning up Eos and I’m still working on clearing Voeld and because the combat is so fluid, I’ve been very engaged. The story OK, but I don’t think I’ve explored enough to really give an overall statement about it. I will say what kills my vibe are all the dumb…

The hell? Only idiots blamed one developer. As far as I can tell, pretty much everybody was blaming EVERYBODY over at EA and Bioware because they somehow managed to fuck all the fun out of the Mass Effect IP while producing a game that was meant to set up an entire new lineage of Mass Effect titles. They deserve to be…

This was the best Marvel live action show when I was a kid...

Well, that’s just it with the 3DS though - it’s a hard shell of it’s own. That design is literally called a “Clam Shell” for that very reason. I carry mine in one of the side pouches of my backpack and aside from some minor external scuffs, it’s no worse for wear.

Especially when I need to buy wire.

Yeah, it’d almost be nicer to have them put off game releases based on what else is coming out a bit more so that there aren’t dry spells. I can’t be the only person who looks at all of these games that will take 30-100 hours and just not have time for all of them.

It’s a good problem to have. I feel like the last couple of years have been a little ‘meh’ with most of the games I was excited about winding up being a bit disappointing.

This is just ignorant. Does anyone ever stop and think “maybe I should read up on this subject before jumping straight to adding to the pile of useless trash internet comments?”

Sounds like you are part of the peasant race if you can’t afford a decent gaming pc.
