If something is that important that they can’t wait for your reply, then they should forego emails and make a direct phone call. You’ll hear the ring, and if you can’t answer it right away it at least left an impression in your brain that there must be something important either in the voicemail and/or email inbox. To…

I found this article after scrolling through all of the content before it, so I can say it did its job. The general feel of the new layout does feel a lot less tedious to me without worrying that I might miss something. Nice work.

Yes.

Ever since Sonic gained an entourage, the franchise started to annoy me. In my mind, Sonic should have always been the main, and only, focus in his games. If say, I bought a Mario solo game, I expected to play as Mario. Not Luigi. Not Peach. Not Toad. Not Bowser.

The title threw me. For a second I thought “Wow, that’s a pretty accurate Bernie cosplayer”.

I complain about loading times for just about any game, period. If Sony can actually live up to their mimimal loading times promise on the PS5, it’ll be a big unexpected selling point. It’s mainly why Nintendo years ago stuck to N64 cartridges and pushed it to its limits before throwing in the towel and joining the…

It can work both ways, bombing and hyping. I worked for a couple of mobile startup devs, and let’s just say marketing is not just about buying the traditional promotional ad space. There were coordinated efforts with streamers, influencers, and almost every popular review website that would “pitch in”. Most didn’t…

That was a fair assessment of the series thus far. As far as interest levels go for me:

Original PC games in general are shameless. Not surprised in the fucking least.

In an age of “fuck it, we’ll just patch it after release", it still makes me wonder if the monkey suits in charge of these companies will ever stop treating their QA teams as expendable.

Where is my badass Shiva Bike mount, is what I want to know.

It simply exists to prevent players from devising a way to do the equivalent of juggling multiple memory cards, which used to be exploited back on the GameCube. Animal Crossing is not a typical sim. It is what it is.

If Capcom was all in on it, that would open up a whole other can of goodies from them, but hell yeah. lol

Let’s dig even deeper. A Sega Dreamcast collection of (some of) the games ported to GameCube, ported to Switch. Throw ‘em all on one disc. Crazy Taxi, Skies of Arcadia, Jet Grind Radio, Space Channel 5, Chu Chu Rocket, Ecco the Dolphin, Virtua Tennis...

Sweet. This was a game I had totally wanted to check out when it first came out, but I didn’t have a Wii U, nor the desire to get one anytime soon.

My all-time favorite awkward dialogue sequence was when Cloud, Tifa, and Barrett were up in the ceiling vent shaft spying on Scarlet:

It needs Joanna Dark dropped in there at some point. Definitely the original brunette version, but I guess the PD Zero Dumb Airhead Redhead version could also be in there as an alt skin, I suppose.

You may regret not getting it, though.

Let’s also talk about the soulless knuckle-draggers who decide to listen to their smartphones on speaker. All these fuckers need to be kicked out through the nearest airlock along with crying toddlers and also the people who think it’s okay to walk against boarding traffic in the airplane’s aisle. Feel free to also…

QA testing? We don’t need no stinking QA! Our code is flawless!
