I hated the floaty jumps and binary lane switching, and then the game had the audacity to make tons of stupid "switch lanes while jumping" bits to combine everything I hated into a vortex of suck.

I watched two whole minutes of that thinking it was going to be satire before noticing the length of the video and realizing that it was serious. Then I skipped ahead and saw a bunch of stuff about Michelle Obama being a transwoman, because that's a obviously a totally useful thing for an evil conspiracy to spend its…

I'm a little tempted to pick up Far Cry 4, but Shadows of Mordor has already scratched my open world completionist itch for a while, so I think I'll save myself some cash and finally get around to playing the Dark Souls II DLC.

The whole zombie remembering it's humanity bit.

I also enjoyed number 2 a lot, though I still get mad sometimes about the stupid twist at the end of the GoPro equipped zombie one.

What really sucked was when people started figuring out exploits and suddenly everyone had a tank. Some hacker randomly gave my friend negative half a billion dollars (which for some reason could be spent as regular money) and he immediately bought all the high value gear, which then completely destroyed his incentive…

Well that's a bummer. I was really hoping for something to wash the lingering stench of the prequel out of my brain.

Man, they must have seriously scaled back the multiplayer. The pre-rendered announcement trailer made the game look like a Destiny-ish pseudoMMO. (I remember saying that it was a pilotable mech away from filling in my entire E3 bingo card.)

I'm afraid the Cheesehead Tyrant has better SEO rankings these days.

And then, because he's a dick, Scott doesn't tell anyone when he gets a TruckNutz bite and starts to turn.

There's a whole genre of late '80s / early '90s "Group of [occupation] trapped in a [setting] because of [lampshading] with a [dangerous thing] picking them off." Usually it's a bunker of some kind, but a lot of times it was an undersea mining operation. (Lots of Leviathan rip offs, which was itself an…

Excellent curation. I've always wanted to check out Rule of Rose; played all the other games on the list, though I don't think I ever beat 7th Guest.

Borderlands? More like Bored-erlands, amirite? Because I find them boring. Get it?

I find something weirdly charming about the fact that Fulcher is absolutely terrible at doing regional American accents.

Or just leave your old consoles hooked up to the TV. I recently bought a PS4, but without backwards compatibility with my library of PS3 games or that stupid bluetooth adapter I need to use a harmony remote for browsing Netflix, there didn't seem like much reason to toss the old Playstation out. Sure I was running low…

The game was initially delayed for quite a while so Swery could walk the Twin Peaks homages back from the edge of plagiarism. It's kind of hard to imagine the game being *more* Twin Peaks-y, but apparently it was.

Incoming Nerd Alert! Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever was not based on the gameboy advance game that technically came out earlier, they were developed simultaneously.

I'll mostly be playing Remember Me on my big new TV. (RIP slightly smaller old TV.) I'm pretty happy with it as a free PS+ game, but probably would have been disappointed as a $60 launch day customer. The writing is above average (for a beat-em-up game), the intricately detailed, cyberpunk design can be downright…

I was out of town and bored on twitter when the whole thing started, so I watched some of it play out in real time. Have you ever noticed how arguing with people on certain corners of the net, such as Reddit, can feel like debating a shoggoth that's constantly switching to a new face? The goalposts constantly shift on…

When you have to add "and stuff" to the end of a line in order to rhyme with "calling my bluff", it's clear that you need some more practice in the poetry department. They should have studied at the David Byrne school of making up your lyrics as you go along.
