Interesting advice that I should follow more often. I had been a member of a running club where I never felt like I fit in, but had pangs of regret whenever I didn’t go. Then I realized how little I had in common (aside from running) with everyone else who went, who I could be spending that time with other people or…

I think Square mentioned that a lot of the original source codes for these games have gone missing, and that’s why rereleasing some of them have proven difficult. I can imagine a lot of other publishers have run into similar issues.

I have to imagine that apart from the reasons other folks mentioned, Nintendo doesn’t make nearly as much money on these releases as they do when people buy their new games (or even when people buy other games released on their eshop). I can’t imagine this release resulted in a sharp increase in subscriptions. I’m…

All of this reminds me that I really ought to go and play Harlon Ellison’s I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream. 

This is roughly the football equivalent of the time I had my imaginary friend be my emergency contact in elementary school.

I was about to say “well I guess it can only be a positive considering Telltale ran themselves into the ground by not innovating their formula”, but it seems odd whichever way you spin it. Either they’re trying to bank on the good name/old catalogue of a company that ruined theirs, or they’re buying an old name to do…

I legitimately feel sympathy for the Game Informer staff, since I always appreciated articles and reviews there.

I’ve found slog games to be great to play at the gym bike or eliptical on the switch (the pokemon games were my go to for a while), but lately I’ve felt that the Switch has released a lot of grindy, slog games that are much more entertaining to play than janky old school rpgs (see: me getting utterly frustrated…

Alternatively, if you don’t have access to a gym (like I probably won’t over this upcoming long weekend trip), I’ve found that a combination of a long walk/run with any kind of High Intensity Interval Training exercise goes a long way. No need for a facility and you can do it at your own pace and intensity if…

My anger at the deflection and the continued non-response aside (difficult as that is to do), I think Zero Punctuation summed it up nicely in their episode about Hot Coffee when they said “I wouldn’t worry about censorship or banning of video games because they make powerful people a lot of money.”

If it’s the BFG edition (that let you hold a gun and a flashlight simultaneously) or just patched that function in, it’s definitely worth 10 dollars. It’s not as iconic as the first one, it’s not as crazy fun as the reboot, but it’s functional and entertaining enough. 

Ditto. Normally I don’t mind digital, but the game is listed at 16 gigs on the eshop. 

1. I just want to say that you’re praise on the episode of Split Screen you were on made me pre order the game on the eshop. I feel like my brain woke me up at 1am last night as if to say “oh yeah, play for a bit before you go back to sleep!”. So I blame you for my poor night of sleep (the other 6 days a week where I…

I admire that slow burn on that comment. But I took stupid student loan payment very seriously and have been setting it on fire.

Scary Terry would be proud. 

It’s pretty standard practice for distance racing, as most distances are based on Kilometers rather than miles (5k, 10k, 21k, 42k, etc.). Since a 5k is a common base race pace (rhymes like dimes!), and since it happens so frequently in longer races, most people use those markers to denote how they ran on a leg of a…

I’m just disappointed they didn’t trade for Bismack Biyombo and Luol Deng to round it all out. 

I'm okay with this as long as Badlands Booker does the soundtrack.

Yo for real, that person needs to learn how to hover over the bowl. Get your afternoon squats with your afternoon plops.

You know when you’re pointing out how dumb someone is, or how wrong someone is, sometimes they’ll just throw a line or statement out that they think is a mic drop moment, but makes you go “wait what?”
