Yay! Now the party can really start.

It’s strange to look back on a time when creators felt compelled to present their concepts, emotions, and ideas via a “violent” video game. BioShock, Shadow of the Colossus, Persona 3, and Braid were all deep games, with lots of theme and subtext, but their “literal” goals inevitably required some heavy-duty killing…

I think I did it right...

But they need that space just in case they decide to get a pool table.

Also, please rewrite the entire CSS because my monitor is going to burn out in half the time with this much whitespace.

Sod it, I’ll just put a period in my username. Crafty! Seems to have worked this time. I’m here, then? And even in Technicolor this time. Oh what a time to be alive.

Ah, of course. It did not work. Burner accounts can’t be transfered. That is a bit frustrating. Any possibility of getting dragged out of limbo — like, permanently — by a moderator? Or is it a choice between abandoning this handle or having to claws one’s way out of the Gray Zone each time? Like... Help me! I have…

Speaking of which, it’s so confounding to see a real website discarded and remade to look like a goddamned blog.

I feel like sorting by newest/oldest/most stars should be a fairly easy thing to implement, but then again I know nothing about how Kinja works.

Honestly, I’m not sure if I’m currently here or not — the transfer was not exactly smooth, and I got like, five different burner account passwords handed to me? But if you all can read that, I guess I’ve made it through. And with a new coat of paint to boot!

If anything, I’d argue that GTA 3 and Fallout/Skyrim had more of an impact on the industry over the last 10 years than Bioshock did.

*Big puffs of cheeto dust go flying out*

I think I’m here, but apparently the only way to find out is to scream into the void and hope my echo manifests.

Very happy to see that Gameological has it’s own subdomain!

As of right now, you can’t. But it’s a weird bug that our tech folks are feverishly working on fixing.

I don’t think it does. I found an old trick in a Lifehacker article that used to work to sort by newest/oldest (via an addition to the end of the URL) but apparently it doesn’t work anymore.

Hello?
