I'm knee-deep back in FFX12 myself, and it's really worth a re-visit with the changes. It's basically an entirely new game given the class system and other changes. There's actually a fair amount of long-run strategy around who to give which class when (because you can pick up a second class for characters down the…

Hmm, re : Gone Home. I use the term 'walking simulator' because it's convenient. You could try to lump them in with the 'Visual Novel' category, but the very slight addition of mechanical aspects, as well as the difference in style and often origin (with VNs being originally a Japanese phenomena, with Western ones IMO…

Oh boy! Now my giant newspaper collage of connections between superhero films will have one more red string connection!

You know, if this is her weird celebrity quirk, I say we quietly let her have it and move on. She could be doing WAY worse than having a mild fixation on onion rings. I fear every time we even mention this, she becomes that much more likely to pick up a coke habit.

You're gross, and frying you doesn't change that definitely true fact.

Caligula is actually a bit of a complex comparison. He was actually beloved by the common person for spending lavishly on public events and the average person.

O_O. Dave Chapelle has always been political. Did you miss the sketch where we cracks about black people getting reparations? Or all the random bits about police brutality?

Unpopular opinion - FFVII while a phenomenal game, was definitively of it's time and a straight re-release would bore people to tears. Having replayed that game several times, people forget just how much grinding is involved in that game. Experience Grinding, Grinding for rare weapon drops, Grinding Materia, Grinding…

I will fight you on FFXV. It is on a very, very small list of games where I cried at the end. Perfect it is not, but I'll be damned if it doesn't have the greatest post-credit scene since that gimmick became popular.

I encourage people to read the comments sections of Walker's video. It's filled with other Youtubers who have shared the same experiences. This hits *everyone* even big name folks, and something has to be done so they aren't pushed out of their work.

To some degree yes, but there's two key problems with just seeing them as countervailing forces in modern society.

So, I think you've missed the larger point for the framing device. Notice how the entire second episode is about how destructive the intolerant counter-action to 'PC people' can be. And also relevant is how the Yelp episode has minimal commentary on PC people at all. This is because, at a certain point, it's not…

I'm so glad to see more discussion of this. In recent years, I've become more parsimonious with my words and opinions precisely for this reason. I consider myself someone pretty far left of center, but it's so impossible today to know which errant thought of yours, even if sent in confidence to a friend, will be the…

So this article I think, is a bit incoherent (as has been said by several other commenters). But, it also locates blame on gaming as somehow more backwards-looking than the rest of culture, when that's frankly not true. How many movie reboots do we get a year? How many movies do we get of comic books or established…

I was just rewatching Ghost in the Shell : Stand Alone Complex, and it's like Hollywood just had to piss in my cheerios.

So, this statistic gets thrown around and while it's true, it does need a large asterisk over it, and I say this as someone agrees with the conclusion but in the name of accuracy I'm going to nitpick here.

As someone who has been a lifelong gamer, as well as a lifelong black guy, I wish gaming was all of us being inspired by NoHandsKen, and less of the gaming community having to argue over whether treating people with basic human decency is necessary, even if you don't like their artistic vision or their political…

I think it's a classy move. He knows she isn't likely able to pay, and sending her to the poor house would just be spiteful.
