Bloodborne Bloodborne Bloodborne. Still joyfully progressing through this game. Last night I got through the Upper Cathedral Ward and beat Ebrietas after about an hour and a half of dying constantly. She’s the cheapest of the bosses I’ve encountered so far. I beat her, but it was purely because the RNG of her attacks…

“Should I tip my barista for a cup of coffee?”
It’s a real “water cooler” game, one of those experiences where you and your friends kind of grill each other and talk about all these incredible moments and shocking secrets as you play it together. Breath of the Wild was a lot like that, too.
Great call on the John Carpenter vibe! Calling RE4 “a perfect mash-up of the best visceral horror of The Thing with the hokey over-the-top insanity of Big Trouble in Little China” nails it even better than the Gymkata/Commando parallels.
I’m both so happy and totally unsurprised at how you came out of RE4. It really is this bizarre, brilliant beast. It’s frenetic, and honestly kind of demented a lot of the time; you mentioned Gymkata and Commando, but there’s also a huge John Carpenter vibe as this thing that’s both deeply campy and viscerally intense…

It’s been a while and I hope all of my fellow Gameologirinos are doing well! It will surprise no one that I am mainly playing one game and one game only: Destiny 2. I still really enjoy the game and have since launch (I am fairly easy to please) and the improvements they’ve made in the latest expansion (Warmind) are…
Been playing a few games on GOG this week.
Last time, I talked about a set that used Magic: the Gathering’s five-color structure as the basis for its storytelling and identity. This week I’d like to look at another set that did a similar thing, to much greater success.

Very glad to see the good turnout here, and that the discourse is as polite and positive as ever (and if it gets invaded once it hits the main page we’re probably mostly done here anyway, with KG right around the corner). This kind of environment for discussing video games is very rare, cheers to all of you for your…

Funny you should mention D&D, because my group have started playing again, a new campaign, or rather the followup to the previous one. I’m documenting it properly over on my own website, which is just about barely functional at this point, but I hope you find it of interest:
The pistol you get from Cainhurst is so good, especially if you have a bloodtinge build. Also, Ludwig’s Holy Blade is awesome. It looks cool (very important), has a great moveset, and two-handed does a shitton of damage.

Real quick PSA regarding WAYPTW: We realize how important it is for the community to have these up at a consistent time and place. So going forward, WAYPTW will hit the Gameological page at midnight Central and appear on the AVC homepage at a later time. Cool?
And, of course, the Winter Lanterns! shudder
Nightmare Frontier is the only section I didn’t finish and it always haunts me. I just found it way too confusing to navigate and those dicks who throw stones at you from long distance were a huge pain in the ass.
I started over in Skyrim and am now frying people with Palpatine hands as a sorceress. I’m having a lot of fun zapping things in the game, but clearing the map is quite the daunting task; especially since I will be setting it aside come Tuesday.
