Deadly Premonition is super weird and deserves credit for that (those squirrels in the beginning that scream like chimps still get me) but it's gameplay is a hot mess. I put it down and have resolved to just watch some quiet fellow do a Let's Play on YouTube of it sometime.

Eat some mushrooms and read Charles Dickens while you wait. That oughta be pretty close to Bloodborne.

Uncharted 2 is the pinnacle of the series' Indiana Jonesin' for Glory madness.

I feel you on Smash, my brothers all know how to play the game but there's one who has studied it and plays with tournament level skill, so it's never a fun, smash-em-up hootenanny, it's always, "C'mon guys, let's not let Zach win the 100th game in a row."

I beat King of Dragon Pass, which is cool but I was really hoping it was one of those games that let you keep playing after winning. I still had some feuds to resolve with the Tree Brothers Clan and had yet to fully win the hearts of the powerful women warriors of the Greenwing Clan (despite my chief being a proud…

I feel ya on the Ice Climbers snub. I would've gladly traded that obscure Pit Lady for my tag team duo. Imagine, if you will, a better world, where 8-player Ice Climbers is a thing… Sigh, maybe DLC will bring them back to us.

Charles Dicken's Dark Souls

This game is at the shop, just waiting for me to throw off the shackles off the office block 9-to-5 and become who I was born to be.

I used to have a big pair of Logitech speakers with a subwoofer and when I felt really audacious I'd play Gears of War 2 on them, but I always felt it was too loud and rude to my neighbors. Blame my midwest upbringing. Now I play with headphones, usually only on one ear so I can hear my wife if she calls out to me. …

JC2 with mods is basically the ludic equivalent of being superman. You can fly, travel insane distances in no time, take a missle to the face and keep truckin and also you get a bubble gun.

Half-Life 1 on my lappy and Hearthstone on my Paddy. Anybody here into that silly Blizz Card Game? I originally thought it was dumb as I tend to have an anti-blizz slant since they abandoned the WarCraft RTS games to rot, but it is a helluva lotta fun and I haven't spent a dime on it which is nice.

I guess it's more like Sunset… Underdrive.

Gordon can't communicate with his voice, but he can communicate with DANCE!

If it was a true Stephen King game, Alan would've done a bunch of coke and then get hit by a van on the side of the highway.

While the story ended with the lamest thud in history, I was really into Alan Wake when it came out. What should've been a weakness for a horror game actually gave me the willies quite a few times, when you find pages from your novel that describe what's about to happen.

Been playing a bit of Half-Life 1 recently and every time you start walking on grates (which is everywhere in Black Mesa) CLONK CLONK CLONK CLONK CLONK CLONK!

I like to think Mishima's attempt to overthrow the Japanese Government and then killing himself is really the best joke of all.

thanks man! Now I was able to youtube that and find this surprisingly coherent K.K. Gyroid mash-up. http://youtu.be/b6zbhcfRq_Q…

I played Animal Crossing on fucking Christmas, New Year's Eve, Fourth of July and every other goddam holiday you can think of just for the chance to buy an exclusive little dancing cactus noise machine (what were those things called anyway?).

Ohhhhhh man, the forced "no guys, everybody just doesn't understand it yet. Just you wait. They'll all come around. All of them…"
