Is it? I’ve played games set during the French Revolution, the Japanese Meiji period, and a caveman in 10,000 BC. I was able to follow the plot to those well enough.

I’m pretty sure non-Americans can get their head around a bunch of people in 1861 fighting over the societal impact of abolishing slavery. They make…

‘Sup dude. I’ve worked in the JP games industry for a while. I say this without malice, and in fact I get the idea of why you’re doing what you do.

But, okay. To be frank, I am a bit blown away you haven’t been fired, simply because none of this looks like an actual attempt at preventing censorship and much more like…

I’m sure Capcom’s internal sound library just had something labelled “temple chanting” and when they were composing the music, whoever wrote it decided to just slap that in the background for audio greeblies.

We’ve all heard the “Door noise from Doom” showing up in weird spots on TV or other games or what have you.…

Activision. Guys.

Do the American Civil War.

I wanna see a gritty and “visceral” version of THAT. Also it’s...Timely? Ish? Kinda?

Mel Gibson would be down (he has at LEAST as much pull as Kevin Spacey, come on), and I hear noted Lincoln aficionado Bill O’Riley is looking for work. 

Make it happen. The day you can promise…

This thing kinda smelled funky from the jump. I’m always leery of “And we’ll have no stupid managers to get in the way!” type sales pitches. Odds are great that what you’re actually paying for by funding those is giving the organizers a crash course in why managers are even a thing, and you get to watch it happen in a…

TftBL is the secret Best Telltale Game, for anyone who missed it the first time around (which was pretty much everyone). It’s legitimately funny and well written, and they hadn’t gone quite off the deep end yet with the QTEs as filler. They’re there, but they make sense when they show up.

Unlike Michonne. Where I could…

My god the comments. “Waaaah, the thing the kids like is showing up in my sports thing!”

Hey, you: This is the new sports, shitheels. It’s gonna keep happening. Deal. It’s way worse seeing you weepy vaginas inevitably crawling around the comments than it is seeing these things in the first place.

I’m old as fuck and you…

I’ve worked in the industry for a long-ass time. I love it when people find leftovers; I’m also secretly chuffed at it every time someone finds some of this stuff.

my OVARIES

Never change, Japan.

Who’s the blue mech? That lady’s costume looks like it requires an engineering degree. I am impressed.

I thought the ambiguity was important. If you come down hard (heh) on one side, then it’s kinda pandery. Gay folks don’t run around making sure everyone around them knows that they’re gay 24/7 despite what the O’Rileysphere thinks, so portraying characters in a fashion that leaves the door open without kicking you…

On the one hand: Working for airlines can suck, bad. I don’t do it personally but an ex’s father was a professional and he described it as “basically high school for seniors”. The pilots are the jocks, broken marriages are rampant because of all the sleeping around that goes on due to all the close-quarters…

For sure, the convenience is there. Delivery apps work because if you give people the option to pay double to have something — literally anything — delivered, they will consider it and if the energy expenditure isn’t worth just tossing some money at it, that’s where a lot of people will go. You don’t have to fuck with…

I have the day off and have decided to celebrate by playing Rez.

It’s two hours later. I’ve been staring at those cards for 20 minutes playing poker in my head, at least. I’m not sure I ever did play Rez. I’m hungry though.

Look if my shithead parents had actually fucking named me Harry Potter, I’d be a pound-a-week smoker by the time I got through 4th grade just to cope with the ENDLESS FUCKING PARADE OF JOKES oh my god that poor man

Gorgeous!

Also every time I’m shown someone’s adorable pet snake, I think of the husband of a friend who is a huge reptile nut. Obviously very loving of the animals, well-researched enclosures and food, etc.

Me, watching him feed them: “Man, those guys are the luckiest snakes ever.”
Him: “Right? If only they cared.”
Me:…

I’m near-positive this is the case just because it WASN’T mentioned but I’m paranoid and the games industry has left me broken and bereft of faith SO:

The VO is still the original VO, right?

I...Jesus that’s gorgeous.

I have also not seen that and am now WTF-ing myself to death over here whilst firing up Amazon to buy it.
