Portugal has been a regular competitor but has never won once. Mainly due to their insistence of entering a song in their mother tongue of Portuguese. This year is the closest they have ever been to winning. Their entry this year is essentially a European Josh Groban singing “You’re still you.” If Portugal wins, it…

Wonderful. Now I can start crying on my daily commute.

I dunno. The game’s tone had a kind of relentless optimism that I found charming. Despite everything that has happened, people are still trying to make their voyage work.

In that, you have a point. People have realized that you cant out-wow world of warcraft. The big money that was being dropped in MMORPGs before to create wow-clone after wow-clone is now being dropped in mobile games. The good news is that when someone does venture into the MMORPG genre, it is with some genuinely…

There is a certain...cadence to it. It has to sound natural, usage of the right idioms, with just a hint of informality. You try to make yourself sound like a sitcom basically.

It is called “death of author.” The moment a text is put out into the public, it stops becoming the private property of the author. That also means the intended meaning is no longer relevant, the public is free to interpret it anyway they want. This emphasizes that texts are not static but ever changing with each…

I doubt he would get away with half of the stuff he got away with in Spec Ops the Line. Your main enemy is American soldiers? That one bullet point would send marketing directors running for the hills.

Oh you mean PTSD Simulator? Yeah I’m starting to write some essays about that game. There is just so much to analyze.

I like how Eurogamer described Bayonetta. Its like watching an episode of Ru Paul’s drag race. True, the fanservice is there but it can be so over the top and so exaggerated that it can come off as more campy than erotic. You dont want to have sex with Bayonetta, you want to BE Bayonetta.

I love on how Eurogamer described Bayonetta. Its like watching an episode of Ru Paul’s drag race.
