I work for a medical office that has an ugly Christmas sweater contest every December. I’ve gone from not participating the first couple years, to wearing my Pokemon Christmas scarf that I got from the office Secret Santa, to the scarf plus a legitimately adorable Pokemon Christmas sweater, to both of those with a…

I’m loving this pivot from “FIZZY YELLOW BEER IS FOR WUSSIES” to “HARD SELTZER IS PROFITABLE!”

The last Call of Duty game I played was Modern Warfare 2, and even that was years after release. It would take a lot of work to even get to an average skill level online at this point, and it’s really hard to enjoy a game when you’re that consistently outmatched, with no sense of improving. I was maybe OK at Doom 2 a…

My co-worker had to start a new island entirely because her character name was her ex’s nickname for her, and I assume you just flat-out can’t change your name in-game. But helping her put together some seed money for turnips, and hopping back and forth to whoever’s island has the better turnip prices for the week,…

Clearly it’s “two for tea.”

I appreciate the for once appropriate use of Comic Sans.

I think this meant one fish, one bug, one painting, one sea creature - one of each category, not one of each individual species/painting.

My co-worker got me back into Animal Crossing: New Horizons. It’s terrible. I love it. She was starting a new island since her old one was under her ex’s nickname for her, so I gave her half my fortune to boost her through the early goals, then earned back most of it, taught her about Turnip Prophet, and let her sell…

Just got back into ACNH when my co-worker started talking about how excited she was about the then-upcoming Nintendo Direct last month. I’d been away for 16 months, and rumors had spread that I died. Or, like, joined a shark-alien circus? I see Beau’s still perpetually high.

I’ve had a couple moments over the last month or so where I’ve thought, “Wasn’t there a Diablo II remake recently? I only ever played the first one, but people really got deep into D2. Maybe I should check it out.”

Theming, Rowling, and “been there, done that” aside, the game also just handed you anything that you might have otherwise paid for. Whereas PoGo had a few special items you could only get from level-ups, special events, and putting down in-game currency that you could only get a small amount of every day without…

But there’s still a chance he’ll ruin “Single Ladies.”

I’ve heard good things about House of Ashes over the past few hours, but I think I might be past the point of getting excited about playing new horror games. I still absolutely love the first 3 Silent Hill games, and appreciate the rest of the series at least. I got a kick out of RE 4 and 5, I enjoyed Clock Tower 1…

No, no, no. It’s the new “Now They’re Making” video: chewable game controllers for tiny babies! See, the video’s even right there toward the bottom of the article. The word order makes perfect sense. We’re just missing a few punctuation marks.

Wait, I only had to pick one? I’ve been doing both like a total dunce!

My brother broke up with and got back together with the same girl sometimes multiple times per week. It was such a famously rocky relationship that our dad talked about it during the ceremony when he presided over their wedding.

it looks like some kind of radioactive clown turd in a bun

The cave isn’t evil. The cave just wants to collapse and kill everyone inside before they complete their victory condition. It’s just like us!

Yeah, HoD is basic. If it were made before SotN, the progression of metroidvanias would make more sense, but the “surprise, two castles!” gimmick had already been done in a more interesting way, combining sub weapons with elements had already been done in a more interesting way in CotM, and the controls are a little…

Agreeing with needle.hacksaw here. The earlier Castlevanias are largely not what you’re looking for, with the exception of Castlevania II. The Castlevania Advance Collection, however, I can highly recommend. The three GBA Castlevania games are still a blast to play.
