As someone who was in a fantastic poly relationship for over 6 years, I cannot agree more vehemently. As someone put it below, it’s simply more options, with their own benefits and challenges. Different strokes and all that. As I was lovingly told by a former partner: “Go. Explore. Have fun. Be safe. :)“

Musou-style gameplay? Hell, why not. Just beat DQH2, might as well give it a shot. Don’t judge book before you take it’s cover off and all that ;P

After seeing what Tabata did with FF Type-0, I RELISH the idea of him working on the FFVII remake. Tabata has a knack for being able to emphasize the humanity (or it’s absence, as needed) in the characters, and generally getting into the player’s head and subverting expectactions.

Factorio is easily deserving of it’s spot. The developers work like the machines in their game: Non-stop. The game is extremely mod friendly, updated EXTREMELY regularly, and is always being optimized.
If you’re the kind of person that likes messing around with circuit mods in Minecraft or Garry’s mod, or…

Use your bow. Light the arrows, fire

To answer the headline: Yes.

More elaborately, I consider modern advertising and marketing practices cultural anathema, acutely so when paired with using the above to subsidize other services. If I can just pay a fee for no ads, great. If that option isn’t there, I do without.

The last thing I need these days is some…

Everything about this is amazing. All the characters are spot on, and the additional details really sell it. Cloud fits perfectly with short, dyed locs, and THAT. SEPHIROTH.

Just. goddamn. I want to play this FF7 now.

While I grew up during the early funimation/DIC years of anime, I didn’t get properly introduced to Sailor Moon until my ex-wife insisted I watch the series with her, and between the story, music, and especially the gorgeous art, I was hooked. Frankly, I want a few of those backgrounds as prints for my house.

On a side…

Especially when one is playing a combo deck with the legal version of “The cheese stands alone”:

Neither concept is really new, to be honest. Young, niche celebrities in a relatively novel medium with poor impulse control saying stupid shit. Hell, old and established celebrities tend to have poor impulse control (Tom Cruise, Mel Gibson, etc). Pardo effect and all that.
To remain marginally on topic, the only…

Reminds me of Marcus Brody from the Indiana Jones movies in that regard: “Man who got lost in his own library”

For anyone interested, the NewRetroWave youtube channel hosts a lot of artists in the same vein. I really, REALLY like the album “Trevor Something Does Not Exist”, which is a NRW exclusive. If this sort of music is your jam go check them out!

This is the video that introduced me to NewRetroWave, and I still love the hell out of it. Quintessential late 80s synth and Golgo 13. So good

I completely get that. My (now ex) wife and I bought the Wii-U strictly for Bayonetta 2. We logged a combined 180 hours into that, and suprisingly countless more with our friends in Smash, SM3DW, and MK8.

I’d summarize the Wii U as follows with no irony: If you loved Nintendo first party titles and enjoyed the…

I agree. My mother had loved videogames earlier in life. After a stroke, however, she seemed to have lost most of her (then considerable) technical expertise. But she could play most of the games on my Wii U, and I was happy she was able to recapture a bit of her former passion. I also greatly enjoyed most of the…

Beautiful shot! Love the contrast of the flooring to the geta!

I disagree with the conclusion you’ve drawn regarding , as I’ve worked in a male-dominated field for most of my career, and seen this behavior repeatedly, even in entities where the manager is strictly opposed to these kinds of idiotic workplace-politicking. The signs may be different at times, but the basic level of…

This really seems like wasting almost (Over? has it been that long?) 20 years of brand management. Battle.net has become the iconic Blizzard platform, and I really don’t see how this is going to benefit their brand or current and future games.

Ah, my beloved SeaChickens. Finally back to their mediocre selves, and not a moment too soon, either. Leave it to Seattle to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Basically, Mark Kern, the CEO of Red5, was an egotistic, micromanaging butt-butt who suddenly decided he wanted to make movies over videogames, and threw an incredible amount of money into a high-end in-house studio. He could never pin down a solid vision for the game. He bought enormous amounts of advertising, most…
