It triggered my laughter, that’s for sure.

Not to mention the fact that the plants and animals aren't really alive at all. This tricky marketing lingo makes me SICK.

Phantasy Star Online. So, clearly the best console.

Great. Now I’m crying in a McDonald’s. And it's not for any of the usual reasons.

Counterpoint: virtually everything she says makes me gasp

I keep thinking that this narrative about No Man’s Sky being an “ultimate video game” is completely made up by games journalism in order to have a thing to write about.

No Man’s Sky is exactly the game I expected it to be.
And it’s exactly the game I wanted it to be.

My own thoughts from this article:

$25 is abit pricey considering you can use DS4 Tool with any blutooth receiver and you can control your desktop with it.

so him turning into a female Tyrant at the end of the game was just a random coincidence right?

Shadows of the Damned is one of my favorite games ever. Right up there with Shadowman and Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver.

I have particular tastes.

Yes. PC/Steam.

I mean, it’s possible that they’re asking “May we record this phone conversation?” at the beginning of every phone call and carefully editing that out of the episodes, but unlikely to me.

I thought TLoU and TEW were pretty similar gameplay-wise, except I love stealth games so I loved TLoU a lot more. TEW introduces a few stealth gameplay elements but believe me, you rarely use them as the game goes on. Only the lowest ranking enemies can be stealth killed so after a while they totally abandon it. So…

I think most of the over-the-phone purchases are staged as well, unless they’re tracking down all of the realtors to get their consent (California’s a two-party state when it comes to recording conversations over the phone).
