UGH MILLENNIALS

When you’re the (much...MUCH) stronger side in an assymetrical stare down, you do let it slide.

Hey there, I took this shot. Although it’s generally very safe here, Japanese bikes, by law, have to employ a lock. It’s usually integrated in the frame. If you look a few inches down from the back of the seat, you can see it clamping on the rear wheel. Having said that, it would probably take 0.5 seconds for a thief…

Warner Bros’ marketing department is trying way too hard with this stuff...it comes across as defensively begging us to take it seriously — he bought stickers, he sent glitter bombs, he was “crrrrazzzzzzzzzzy!”

“...I love him (Fabian Johnson) and he’s a nice kid. I love Jermaine (Jones), really nice kids...”

This irritated me more than anything else Donovan has said. Donovan is 33. Johnson is 28. Jones is 34 (!) They’ve all played together a bunch of times—it’s not like Donovan doesn’t know this.

Who the fuck does Donovan…

I say this is a good thing, as I’m sure many others will echo. Far too many high profile games are released nowadays that suffer because of trying to meet publisher enforced deadlines.

Serious or sarcastic post? Most truffles and chocolate shop items you buy are made with melted (and then tempered) industrial chocolate because processing chocolate beans is hard, industrial style work. There are some quality industrial chocolate producers far away from the realm of Hershey, but they are still…

If you use enough salt, just about anything can taste good.

I can’t decide whether this is too high class or too hipster for me to give two shits about...

I’m relieved it finally got released. It’s six months late and the team did a terrible job keeping backers up to date on what was going on, with many promised deadlines coming and going without any word until weeks or months later.

What I got from the Quartz article and a couple others (what can I say, I find the interplay between hipster marketing and actual quality interesting) is that they originally were using Valrhona which is why it was so much better in the early days. Now they’re using some unspecified beans and doing a crap job of it.

Making chocolate is extremely hard. That’s why so few companies do it but instead get already made chocolate from elsewhere. Here’s a little knowledge, if the place you are buying your chocolate from calls themselves “chocolatiers” they didn’t make their own chocolate. Only bean to bar companies can legally call…

I attended Permian High School a long time before the FNL book, movie or TV series, none I which I have watched/read because it would likely bring back unhappy family memories. It really is weird to read about the football team and see that field sign, which was there in an earlier incarnation. Odessa High School was…

The staff, I think, has shown exactly the opposite. They became aware of behavior that was inapposite to the ideals and goals of the firm and killed it. The conservative response would have been to have him resign to “spend more time with his family” and bury the allegations as deeply as possible.

I agree it was a good game, definitely worth anyone's time to check out. I don't think the issue with is was playing as a woman though, I mean, that's not an issue with Tomb Raider :-)

The memory re-mix sequences were a little underwhelming. Also, it just felt like a game that could have been enhanced by being a…

I was with you until the last sentence. I'm male and loved Rememer Me. So did thousands of others. The lack of sales was likely due to poor reviews, not sexism.

Remember Me is criminally underrated. Yes, the combat is average and repetitive but so are most games in the genre. The selling point with RM though is traveling through Neo-Paris and getting wrapped up in a above average story. Nilin was a good character and traversing the world, as linear as it was, was still a…

Seeing as how most of the jrpgs on this list are over a decade old I think a lot of people are incapable of viewing jrpgs from anything other than a nostalgic perspective. As someone who onky recently got into jrpgs, I can say that Ni No Kuni was as good as if not better than any jrpg new or old I've played. All of…

Not just because of it's looks, actually, and 'Ghibli' entails a whole host of great things the 'look' included.
