Aha, looks like the screen name wasn’t taken, just the username. All is well.

Enjoy that cathartic deletion! I’ll get on the Destiny 2 train eventually, but not likely before the first DLC stop. You should pick up Mario Kart 8 (if you don’t have it already) and join us for MK8 on the 8th nights! It’s generally a rousing tournament, and a handful of us get together on the Unofficial…

Ah, WiiU GamePad... too beautiful for this world.

Where the enemy is. Also remember to do it at the last moment, just like how you activate Witch Time in Bayonetta.

People of the AV Club, I have returned!

I bought a Wii U from eBay last week, to catch up on all MarioZeldaVania games I’ve missed over the decades (my last Nintendo console was the 64), and I’ve been playing Twilight Princess HD.

So I assume that you got caught up on the parry system? The trick is to flick the stick towards the enemy that you’re parrying.

I think it also has a lot to do with the cheese. I find tomato soup goes a lot better when its actually sliced cheese (ie. cheddar or monteray jack or what have you). I prefer ketchup when its processed slices (ie Velveeta or Kraft) because you can only dress that up so much. Also, throwing a handful of Doritos…

Hey folks. This past week has been mostly Overwatch, with a touch of Tacoma on the side. I ran through all ten placement matches last night for Season 6 of Competitive Overwatch, and found myself only 100 points lower than my ending rating from Season 5. I had heard that they were removing the rollback mechanism that…

I mean, it’s a Mario game. You know what you’re getting. The hat’s much like the spin in Galaxy, I didn’t have much time to get used to the mechanic. I didn’t play the New Donk City level, I went with the Mexican one instead.

Hey, Chum Joely here, can’t figure out how to set up an account under my own name since Kinja was apparently kind enough to keep my username in their system (thereby reserving it), but won’t let me use the password because password recovery is apparently not a thing with their “burner accounts”. (Maybe I missed some…

Yeah some of the footage I’ve seen looks very promising. I love the COD formula when done right and like the idea of a stripped back game without the constant drip of attachments and killstreaks.

My copy arrived of Mario + Rabbids arrived yesterday and I took it for a spin last night. It’s started off slow with about 8-10 battles to get me acquainted with the mechanics. The first miniboss managed to take down Rabbid Peach and had my other two party members on their last legs, so that was excited. So far, the…

This weekend I’ll be playing Sonic Mania with my wife and Mario + Rabbids on my own. Both are games that I had very little interest in prior to release, but the press on release was so good that I was tempted in. Both were extremely good purchase decisions, as they’re spectacular! In the former, I’m working my way…

This weekend I’ll make my token effort towards Team Invisibility. Hopefully this month the popularity race is more even and the opposing team won’t be the invisible ones — although if Flight is significantly more popular that would be thematically amusing on their end.

I started over in Skyrim and am now frying people with Palpatine hands as a sorceress. I’m having a lot of fun zapping things in the game, but clearing the map is quite the daunting task; especially since I will be setting it aside come Tuesday.

I certainly am in the category of people who would like to tweak a combat deck in order to customise the experience of a Platinum-esque martial arts fighter. So Absolver is tempting, and particularly so at a $39.99 price point, but... the timing is terrible (just you wait a second) and the fact that milady cancelled…

This weekend I will be playing <b>Splatoon 2</b> and resisting the urge to pick up either the XCOM2 expansion or Mario + Rabbids until later in the month. There’s a <i>ton</i> of games this month, and they are all vying for my attention at a moment when I’m really trying to reign in unnecessary spending.

Well, I made Olivia a 5* in Fire Emblem Heroes this week, grabbed Cav Archer Lyn as my freebie (and went Team Lyn in the Voting Challenge), and spent 80 orbs in CYL banner for... well, some new 4s, an entire summon’s worth of Oboro/Peri, and an 8% pity rate. Which is fine. After pulling Chrom for free last week, with…

More Breath of the Wild. Still early, but I’ve been trying to take on guardians a lot. I had the timing down for the WiiU version, but for some reason I keep missing the perfect guard and dying horribly.
