I restarted The Last of Us after someone posted a screenshot on Reddit. There are certain games like that; TLoU, The Witcher 3, Borderlands 2. All it takes is for me to see a screenshot of something cool from it and I’m re-installing that shit. My last TLoU save was from 2014 so I figure it’s due.

I feel bad for the kid. His little sister beats him up a lot and his parents make him take dance classes. If this is the future of my family line I ain’t raising no Dickon Tarly.

In the words of John McClane, welcome to the party pal.

I don’t have kids but I do get to be the cool uncle and every time my nephew comes over I always make sure to tell him to stay away from my Zelda save. I bought him his own Switch for Christmas, it’s already wrapped and stashed in the attic.

A more Dickensian-sounding name has never been attached to a Kotaku article.

Long after this was pulled from shelves my local video rental store had a copy on shelves that I rented time and again, if only for the fact that in those pre-internet days, the rumor at school was you could see bewbs if you did this one specific thing that was never really explained.

This is a legit concern of mine and so I’m going to approach it like most of my problems, by ignoring it. This is why I have not tried to actually measure if it’s bent by only looking directly at the screen

When I was a teenager the woods was the only place anyone could fuck to be away from parents. So much so that there was a small wooded area behind the high school that students used as a shortcut that had a huge rock on it that was perfectly waist high for most dudes. It was not uncommon to casually walk by a couple…

I’ve encountered it in both handheld and docked modes

Go Ducks! Too bad Nintendo didn’t include achievements for Switch games.

I work in a newsroom for a newspaper (remember those?) where there is a TV in the corner that for some reason always has CNN on. This is due to the fact that, back before smartphones, they almost went to press without reporting on 9/11 and the current editor has refused to get rid of this annoying CRT of pain. So I…

Next time someone repeats that ol’ “What game came out of nowhere?” Ask Reddit this one might top Spec Ops: The Line...maybe.

They better. I seem to give them all of mine

As much as I would like to game this weekend. I have a hallway floor to tile. Maybe I can fit some Splatoon in though

I wouldn’t say they “invented” the mesh network since I’ve been running an Apple mesh network with Airports for years now. I think they just mainstreamed it.

While this is super gross, I do have respect for the fact that he came clean about it instead of trying to skirt around the issue like so many other creeps end up doing. Hopefully a lesson has been learned by not just Nick, but others who act in similar ways.

Fister’s shoulda been “barely knew her”

Especially if the sight of rainbows lasts longer than 4 hours.

I played through the first three Mass Effect games as the Vanguard class where you get some kick ass biotic abilities but are stuck with either pistols or shotguns and I wrecked some bag guys with those pistols.

Wheaton has gotten a lot better with his readings. His earlier stuff like Ready Player One and Scalzi’s Red Shirts (which I would much rather see as a movie but will never happen thanks to licensing) are horrible. He insists on reading every single “he said” and “she said” right after voicing a line. Like, if you are…
