Remember ten years ago when people were absolutely enraged that a game might have an “always online” requirement?

I’m not gonna lie, I COMPLETELY FORGOT about Google’s entry into the gaming space.

I'm afraid that this is one of those "Y'all trippin" things for me.

Just started watching Season 1 of Spongebob with my daughter, and goddamn, that shit is hysterical still.

They’re also incredibly snobbish about bike frames, bike parts, and they thumb their nose if you make the fatal mistake of being in conversation with one of them and disclosing your bike is just a regular bike you got from a store and not a Frankenstein you put together yourself with the best parts ebay has to offer.…

Bike riders are easily the worst. Fuck those clowns n their Lance Armstrong cosplay outfits all bombing down the rail trail at a whopping 15 mph like they’re training for the Tour so they can go to the craft brewery later and sit around in their too-tight shorts trading Strava readings while complaining that the IPA…

Man for real. I was sort of excited for this dlc today too until I realized there’s no new zone, and the raid is a 4th fucking rehash of that shitty leviathan location.

It felt like something Activision pushed on them to try and keep players spending money more than once a year

I’d agree with that. They lost me after BA. Once I discovered how SLOW the grind was each new expansion it just was an immediate “nope I’m done!” moment.

Looks like an actual proper expansion, as far as I can tell.

If I had to guess, I don’t think this whole seasonal content pass worked out terribly well for them. It felt like something Activision pushed on them to try and keep players spending money more than once a year, and all in all, I don’t think anyone was all…

Nah, the Luna was easily the most atmospheric location of the first game. Also it will be a different place so it will probably have it’s own twist.

Chao and McConnell are straight-up, racketeering mobsters.

It would definitely be nice if every roguelike wasn’t so punishingly difficult. I enjoy a challenge, but many roguelikes are virtually impossible if you don’t have preternaturally strong video games skills. And I say that as someone with 60+ hours in Binding of Isaac.

I’ve never enjoyed a single rougelike for very long. Even the best ones like Dead Cells kinda get old for me. I don’t mind randomization in games. One of my favorite series of games is Diablo. But I feel like a lot of roguelikes kinda lack any sort of structure and are often way too hard for me to want to really…

This game looks gorgeous, but I’m just so damn burned out on roguelikes.

They haven’t seen actual boobs either because having played it, the sliders are...just wrong. And at the highest levels they’re just mounds attached to the collarbone. None of it works.

It’s possible BioWare is holding back from showing off the most exciting aspects of Cataclysm right now, but so far, it doesn’t yet look like a game changer.

I’m reasonably certain that “Homo Demons” is meant as a species-variation name (like Homo Erectus, Homo Sapiens, etc.), rather than any sort of untoward reference.

...then again, this is the man who gave us about the most eighth-grade bit of wish-fulfillment pablum ever to explain Quiet’s mode of dress, and who…

As one of the writers here pointed out, CoD used to be subtly anti-war. Up through CoD4, respawn/loading screens always featured anti-war/anti-nationalism quotes.

Man, this whole thing has always rubbed me the wrong way, and a decade removed from the imagery being even topical and with a renewed push for manufactured war brewing it just makes me actively want to avoid it. There’s just nothing here that looks cool or exciting as the setting of an action game.
