God, I just love the visual design of Mass Effect so much. It really got honed in Mass Effect 2 but I love how it can flip between epic sci-fi war grittiness and cool cyberpunk neo-noir shit without any inconsistency. These games were just so damn nice to look at and the VISION was always jus there, you know? I miss…

It’s because of the way journalism is taught in college-level courses a lot of the time. Who are we studying in these classes? Norman Mailer, Joan Didion, Tom Wolfe, Hunter Thompson — the great longform essayists. But all of them are personality-driven, whether they intended to be or not, who approach social…

I love Michael B. Jordan. I would literally die for Michael B. Jordan.

God, I am SO obsessed with this game. I find myself formulating deck strategies whenever I get distracted at work and wishing I could hop onto a match. It’s unbelievable how good and addicting the game is -- and it’s not even pay-to-win! I’ve only paid for the season pass because I felt like I was getting way more…

While I have close to zero hype for this game, it doesn’t look that bad and there’s some potential here for interesting mechanics. This is definitely one of those “wait for it to drop on Game Pass” kind of games. There’s really no rush to check this out, methinks.

I was a big supporter of Halo Infinite when it launched and I really stuck with it through a really rough beginning. I wish I could say that it’s finally come into its own, but it just hasn’t yet. It isn’t the worst thing in the world but it just kind of sucks that my favorite game series hasn’t figured out how to do…

He also expounded on the lack of Final Fantasy personalities in recent Kingdom Hearts games, explaining that those Final Fantasy characters were primarily included in earlier entries because they helped fans get to know and understand the original Kingdom Hearts characters better.

That FFVIII got the shaft for a remake made the leak seem much more plausible...

To be fair, a lot of the animations in Halo Infinite are callbacks — they were definitely remade by hand. THAT BEING SAID, and more to your point, there is almost certainly legacy code in the Slipspace Engine that stretches all the way back to CE.

That’s only tracking Steam’s player count. We don’t have console or PC Game Pass numbers, which are sure to be significantly boost them.

I’m sure you already know this, Patricia, but these are some very tear-inducing references to one of the most underappreciated pieces of Halo media, Halo Legends, the anime anthology film they came out with about ten years ago. Specifically, it comes from the short Homecoming, where the teddy bear is worn by fan…

Also, when was the last time someone made a trilogy like this, right? Where a huge part of the game is the fact that you import your save files into two more games and the choices you made reverberate throughout? Like, you could make a choice in the first game and not see it come to fruition until the third game, so…

So, I know a lot of people don’t really like this movie, but I’ve got to say that this is like the perfect version of a 80s/90s B-Movie but modernized to 2021. You can feel the budget constraints in certain scenes and the editing is choppy and a lot of the characters are underwritten or uninteresting. But, that being…

I won’t hear this slander! Gundam Build Fighters is one of the best and most hype shows that Sunrise has ever put out! And we got some truly gnarly designs for model kits out of it!

OH MY GOD! A game made perfectly for me! As someone who love, love, loves cute cafes, and have been friends with many-a-working-barista in my day, this is exactly the game that I never knew I wanted. I’m sure my barista friends would hate it (and they’re free to) but I love this. It looks so adorable. I want it now!…

There’s never been a year like 2007. Halo 3, Call of Duty 4, Mass Effect, The Orange Box and Bioshock all in one year? Plus the first Assassin’s Creed, the first Uncharted, Persona 3 FES, God of War II, Crysis, Metroid Prime 3, Pokemon Diamond/Pearl, RE4 Wii Version, Shivering Isles and more. There were so many…

The people who say these sorts of things have never lived in a third world country.

I know it doesn’t fit perfectly, but I couldn’t help but think of this:

What a thrill.

Only game I know that did this right was Red Dead Redemption 2, which managed to match movement both on horseback and on foot.
