I thought the side stuff was some of the most brilliant in the whole game. I’ve said this elsewhere on this post, but that murder mystery in Novigrad was terrific. I love how almost all the side quests are actually full vignettes. You have rising action, a climax, and a denoument, and you can experience it all in the…

Actually, if I may change the topic, I’m so happy that most games don’t do the different endings for different difficulties thing anymore. I play games to experience the story. I don’t have the time nor the patience to “git gud.” If I wanted that, I would play multiplayer. Like if I played Contra 3 now, I would see…

Definitely not when I was playing the main game! Outside of, like, one or two monsters, it was “This bad thing wants to kill you! What will you do?!” Then I’d say “I press X!” And the game would say “Wonderful! Do you want to strap its head to your horse?” Occasionally, I would need to press X twice, then B and repeat…

Staged.

I only bought it maybe a month or a month and a half ago, and it deserves every bit of praise it gets. I think I have 120 or so hours in, and I’m still on my first playthrough (I avoid fast travel most of the time). I really liked the first part of the game, thought the second part of the game highlighted every single…

I cheesed the hell out of that fight. I figured out how I could get him in to a loop by using the improved slowdown spell and just whupped on him. I died horribly the first few times, figured that out, then I don’t think I even got hit.

I’ve been dug into the Witcher 3 for a long time now, so I’m considering trying something a little lighter for a break. I’m a couple hours into the first DLC right now and still loving it. I’m considering learning how to play Kerbal, but I’m also tempted by Titanfall 2. Is it worth it if you’re just looking for a…

Man, ain’t that the truth! That fight against the wizard and the one against the drug dealing knights were real ass-kickers, especially after I more or less walked through the main game. I would guess I’m about halfway through the DLC, and I’m loving it.

This has always been a thing for me, but every so often I get a wake up call. I always think, okay, we’re doing pretty well on being that melting pot we always claim to be. I’m surrounded by good people, so I see them including other groups. Then I hear that it’s a year starting in two and we only just sent our first…

File those first couple lines under “You don’t say?!” A 45 ton tank can cause an incredible amount of damage? I’d never have guessed!

Don’t be fooled about the food. I recently moved to San Francisco, and I can tell you, most of their Mexican food is about as flavorful as the stuff I used to have in the middle of nowhere, Ohio. This is the birthplace of the Mission burrito, and at a bunch of burrito joints, when you order them hot, the salsa once…

It’s too bad that the trains come so quickly, because if that or getting hit were my options, I would need a minute to think about it.

Did you live in my fraternity house? Because we had this stuff, too, and it has made me the worst at getting a good night’s sleep. If ANY noise wakes me up during the night, I will stay up the rest of the night trying to kill whatever vermin made it.

I’m more curious what dope of a producer is thinking, “Man, what wild and weird lifestyle would the American public want to gawk at now? I know! A pregnant former celebrity!”

I one hundred percent believe that he would, but have no evidence that he did.

This is a candidate I can believe in!

You misunderstand. Those were the human sacrifices that got them here.

Yeah. Even the MLB.com highlights seem to be capped at five seconds tonight.

After a comeback from three games to one, then a comeback going the other way to tie it at six runs, then extra innings, then a rain delay, I was really pulling for a fielder pitching to complete the crazy around this game. It sure was a fun listen, though. I may need to call the cops and have them do a wellness check…

I can confirm that Earl Weaver’s fights with umps were awesome, but as to wool and lime? No clue.
