I am choosing to believe that “watches every round of the draft every year” is not unusual. This is what I must tell myself to be okay with myself.

I don’t get why you couldn’t just change the sign to say something like “🍒MX Witches” which is basically the same joke, fits on the sign, but something a Western audience is actually going to understand (and would likely be more amused by than even if they were acutely aware of Japanese light switches).

I mean, personally I’d rather have New Vegas’s skill and conversation system inside of Fallout 4, but that might be harder to do.

I got the same result, and I am a strong believer in the currywurst, which I believe redeems the concept of “ketchup on a hot dog.” (It’s absolutely a sandwich if you put it on a bun though.)

“Palimpsest”- A a manuscript or piece of writing material on which the original writing has been effaced to make room for later writing but of which traces remain.

Considering that my #1 feature request for Steam is “the ability to mute/block curators from appearing in my Steam client” (I, for example, do not care in any shape, way, or form whatsoever whether a game is 30fps, 120fps, or 12fps), I really don’t like the idea of giving curators more power. Since there’s almost a…

While I would certainly miss “cute animal videos” and “that music video you liked 10+ years ago”, I’m nearing the point where I wouldn’t be sad if Youtube simply ceased to exist entirely.

I honestly felt that the faceless, voiceless, put-upon office gofer that you pilot outside of the animus in ACIV and Rogue was a far more rounded, interesting, and identifiable character than Desmond Miles.

The thing I keep coming back to is in order to be effective, much of comedy needs to regularly surprise its audience, an historically this brought comedy to try to transgress boundaries of taste and expectations. But eventually, everything gets old. One hardly needs to open Twitter or a Newspaper these days to get a…

Realistically, it seems that the money one pays to get their game onto Steam should be proportional to the curation tier the game lands in. If the money that goes towards Steam direct goes to pay a team of actual human beings whose job it is to separate your SuperHots from your Slaughtering Grounds, so that people…

I’m pretty sure I want to bang like half the characters in Dragon Age 4 too...

It’s too much to hope for the option to completely filter out Steam Direct games, and a curated list of “the best of Steam Direct” right?

Having never played a Saint’s Row or Grand Theft Auto in my life before, last year I decided to give Saint’s Row a shot. But instead of playing it straight through, I decided to play it in reverse order : starting with Gat out of Hell and finishing with the original. From this perspective, I felt like 4 was clearly…

Preventing infinite combos is less of an issue in a 3v3 fight than a 1v1 fight. Even putting aside issues about “they stopped patching MvC3 when the license expired”,“physically executing the button presses for these things is difficult”, and “it does kinda”, the worst case scenario is generally “you’re down one of…

In a 3.0 campaign one time I played a Dwarf Paladin that was in fact an archdemidracolich with amnesia and a hat of disguise nailed to the approximately dwarf-sized dragon skull who thought she was a dwarf.

Wouldn’t “refusing to cover a game because it’s broken” prevent you from “reporting on how broken the new game is” which is sort of the opposite of what you want from a journalistic organization?

A while back I realized that in all of the “create a single character” sorts of games I would always gravitate towards the palest skin tone, being a person who has goes straight from “corpselike pallor” to “sunburned”. So I’ve consciously tried to play as people with more varied skin tones.

This sounds like the first Bioware game I have no interest in since MDK2.

Wasn’t the reason SFxT was debuted with a non-standard tournament format was that the folks at Evo didn’t want to embarrass Capcom (a major sponsor of the event) by lampshading that it was fairly underwhelming compared to the other games on the main stage at Evo? Between the poor netcode, the DLC fiasco, the…

I mean, more than anything else in the AAA space I want Obsidian to get another crack at Fallout. But wanting something to be true doesn’t make it true. Now that Psychonauts 2 is in development, “the former Black Isle folks get another shot at Fallout” is #1 with a bullet on my wishlist.
