For the third week in a row, my Pandemic Legacy: Season 0 group is all free, so we’re just plowing through this campaign now. We’ve hit the part midway through these campaigns where the gameplay just becomes golden. All the abilities we’ve invested in our characters, with an eye toward absolutely broken synergy,…

A Nazmart?

Psyduck, the water-type Pokémon that needs an IV of ibuprofen (Goldfuck)

I like that fight in concept, especially with how the enemies’ defenses absolutely fall apart once you’ve killed one of them, but it’s one of the ones where, unless you put the time into grinding out crystarium levels and/or equipment upgrades, whether you succeeded or failed depended on whether the enemies decided to…

I had the same experience with Soulsbournering games that I did with Elder Scrolls games: I gave both Dark Souls 1 and Oblivion incredibly deep dives, devoting most of my free time into them for a few weeks, pretty much did 100% of everything there was to do (at least as dictated by the achievement lists), and then…

Well, he watched The Office, but he really connected with the show and felt like part of the writing team.

Hey, isn’t that the guy from “Celebrities: What Do They Know? Do They Know Things? Let’s Find Out!”?

“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”

I, too, like to stock up on game studios when they go on deep discount.

Thank you. For fuck’s sake, “bias” is a noun.

Defensive comments, clearly.

This woman is surrounded by her own petards, and yet I’ve never seen her get hoisted by them! Not once!

I’ve found that the workaround is scrolling back up to the top, then scrolling back down. It’ll shrink down to a much smaller banner with an X to close it entirely.

I hate that I need a multi-step process for closing an ad so I can use the top two thirds of my screen.

We also had Allison Shoemaker to cover whiskey. It really was a golden era for the site.

Tim Collins, if you’re reading this, hit me up.

I’m glad I’m immune to the siren song of mint condition. I’d pay $25 for a loose copy of Secret of Mana with TIM COLLINS sloppily scrawled on both sides in magic marker and never need anything better.

Forbidden: Zero Dawn was one of those games I had to take off of my Steam wishlist because it fit the criteria for all the games I already wasn’t whittling off of my backlog: expansive, engrossing, dozens of hours long, and full-price. It’s a game I’m looking forward to putting back on my wishlist and waiting for a…

I’m just waiting for her to face any sort of lasting consequences other than being briefly startled when someone she’s been an asshole to thinks she’s an asshole. At this point, I don’t know if that’s ever coming, and that’s really disappointing.

During the $.59, $.79, $.99 era, a whole bunch of kids at my high school would just skip lunch and use their lunch money to chill out at Taco Bell after school and eat like kings!

I think, if done right, this could be something in the vein of Josie and the Pussycats, where it’s more clever than its source material and doesn’t really need to feel like an episode of the cartoon to be good in its own right. If done poorly, it could be the animated movie equivalent of Eat Lead: The Return of Matt…
