Later boss fights require more thought than stand and shoot. Borderlands was way ahead of the curve on raid boss design in shooters, and it doesnt get enough credit for that.

This article is assuming most borderlands fans wanted something other than more borderlands

This is what got me into shoegaze. I still need to check out the new album they put out

god I love deep ellum. It’s too bad it’s starting to gentrify and feel kinda corporate. Some of the new music venues that have been stealing a lot of the bigger bands that roll through don’t have the same vibe as Trees, Three Links or Club Dada.

Thanks for using the word "petulance" because that is exactly what it is.

They should just reboot the series and build it from the ground up. Do something different this time. Make it super wacky but bring it back to just a gang on the streets.

The system isnt working as intended. The ground should prevent players from tunneling through, and placeable objects shouldnt be implemented in such a way that it breaks the expected physics. Read more

Well I sure hope youre ok with companies from a country that detains children in cages at the border and regularly gets involved in foreign conflicts that they have nothing to do with. Fuck off with that moral high ground, America does awful shit too.

Get used to using airbrakes for your turns in Wipeout. Beyond the slowest mode, thats essential to make a lot of the turns effectively. A lot of it comes down to memorization of the tracks and finding a vehicle that handles how you like once you master the airbrakes. Read more

Given the price, it’s kind of ridiculous that the build quality is this poor on these controllers. However I find it kind of silly that people are complaining that Nintendo charges $4 in shipping to fix them. If they charged for the repair on top of shipping, that would be bad but a free repair is about all they could… Read more

I want it new and fresh, but exactly how I remember

Finishing up Persona 5 hopefully. Been playing this since March and while I love the game, I wanna be done with it so I can try other things again

The fact that they have real world value makes trading card packs more like gambling, which I would consider a negative against trading cards in some respects.

Sometimes its as simple as a level designer saying, “Hey this table leg looks like a lightpost if you scale it up by 4 times, so instead of waiting for artists to make a new lightposts lets flip the table and put the top of it underground.” Read more

I don’t know if this single poster is the full extent of the satire being presented by the game. It’s only a small piece of what is a core theme running throughout the game of corporate manipulation. The amount of attention it has received is disproportionate to the amount of significance it is supposed to actually… Read more

it is not that simple at all.

Antiyoy is a direct clone of Slay. For some reason, the maker of Slay hasnt evolved past the 90s shareware model for Slay so its still $10 to buy a 25 year old game from his website. (the steam version is supposedly inferior) Read more

There were so many 90s shareware games that came on these discs I had that I cannot remember the name of. I’m sure all of them were terrible, but that’s all I had on my computer as a really young kid.

Played some Battlefield V tonight, but im going to a music festival this weekend. No time for games with this lineup

New map announcements got me hyped. I was on the verge of falling off the Tides of War recently but this new map plus the others coming soon will probably keep me playing at least enough to finish out the tree every week. If all the new maps are as good as Mercury, I think we are about to see BFV's comeback
