I want to pack this piece into a t-shirt cannon and fire it into every dev’s office. Font and size choices seem to have slid back to 1989 and I can’t figure out why. I play PC from the couch so I get that it’s sorta on me that I need opera glasses for half the games. But also there are tons of couch PC gamers now so...…

Good list! Cheers.

Dishonored 2. I just finished the clockwork mansion level and goddamn was it wonderful! I remain in awe of how well Arkane manages to do really good stealth while keeping gameplay nimble and controls super tight. I just finished Rise of the Tomb Raider, which was good but kinda boring and did almost nothing new after…

Binary Domain and Sleeping Dogs were both simply incredible. Two of the earliest titles I tried when I got back into gaming and I’ve been chasing that feeling ever since. 

All else aside I was taken aback by how easy Epic made using my DS4. I was frustrated looking through settings to set it up and finally gave in, launched the game, and found that it worked right off with no issues. Also, I’m old and don’t want to game at a desk or play a game that requires me to have the reflexes of a…

This is a good blog, Jason. Cheers! 

I opened the replies to Dessen’s tweet and immediately developed the Sam Neill madness from Event Horizon. Like a suburban cargo cult built around a Precious Moments edition of Lean In.

Love to see the bootlicking takes going on in here. "The author is being somewhat petty, but I'm conflicted because a rich and powerful person shouldn't be very lightly criticized in a local newspaper. Gonna go ahead step over this massive issue of power dynamics involving a group of egomaniacs who start shit like…

Parks and Rec at #4? I mean I get that it’s a list and there are going to be disagreements, but jesus. I have to take insulin because I made the mistake of watching past season 3. The last season was basically Minority Report if the precogs only had visions of Sheryl Sandberg GirlBoss memes and Tom Cruise dressed up…

Sounds closer to what I want, but probably still too much of a grind. But I’m old and finicky. Thanks for the extra info!

Quick question because I can’t ever seem to find a clear explanation. Is there going to be a single-player adventure mode/campaign in 2? Or is it going to be some sort of Destiny grind shit or just an option to play the game against CPU? Cuz I don’t play OW, but I’d play an OW adventure where I don’t have to be online…

Really making him bawl here.

*staring into a Smithsonian exhibit of Kevin Feige’s Stunningly Polished Turd while an Air Force recruiting ad plays at ear-splitting volume* Cool beans, man.

I’m gonna go ahead and give this about a week. Reckon that should give me enough time to get through Rise of the Tomb Raider or Dishonored 2.

General industry observation and not a dig a Kotaku here: It’s weird how much coverage Nintendo sales get compared to everyone else. The last two years have seen a torrent of wolf-whistle blogs about Switch sales from both industry and finance sites. The Switch is a genuine beast and the Wii sold a lot (though it’s…

This was refreshing! Adhere to some reasonable guidelines and have at it. So many people basically want to thunderdome over a recline now. I’m 6'2" and it’s never been an issue for me if the person in front reclines. The damn seats are hinged in such a way as to minimize the impact to leg room. 

Thank you! I thought I was quantum leaping or some shit. 

*clears throat for over 45 minutes* Rusted Silo. 

I feel like I’ve read the Noid one before. Anyone else recognize it?

First, in spite of these being the also-rans, they’re all way better than that thrift store lady getting a murder confession. Second, the Lassen County one sounds like Walker Lake and it is indeed creepy as hell sometimes. Fond memories of driving my Subaru wagon along those dirt roads between there and Almanor.
