My pile of shame includes Dishonored 2 and Metal Gear Solid V, even though one was a gift and the other was free with PS+.

Man, the game I probably regret the most buying and not playing this year is Splatoon 2. And I love Splatoon 2, which is probably why it wounds me so. I played about 35 hours of it (basically to level 8 in game), and then Mario came out, and then I had Stardew Valley to tend to, and suddenly it was the holidays. I…

I’m actually proud to say that my 2017 purchases really have no backlog. All of them have gotten played in some capacity. There are a few that I have to beat, but I was actually being very careful this year to only buy and play games that I knew I would have the time and money for. That being said, I didn’t exactly…

What maybe should be in mine, but isn’t, is Horizon Zero Dawn; I only gave it a few hours and want to try it again, but it just wasn’t engaging for me after Zelda. Though there’s still a lot from this wonderful year I want to try: Resident Evil 7, Golf Story, Persona 5, Splatoon 2, Cuphead (a pipe dream; I don’t have…

The Discord has a Splatoon thread, and we’re now going to be doing a “third Splaturday of the month” event, where every third Saturday of a month we do some Splatooning. This month is coincidentally going to be the Splatfest as well. This is the first time we’re doing it, so I assume we’re going to mainly try and get…

Whoo, so close to joining us Switchers! I’m assuming you’re going for Splatoon 2 pretty quickly?

So it’s not good: like John Wick 2? Or it’s not good, like John Wick 2?

Yooka-Laylee is not good, like John Wick: Chapter 2.

I never expected to enjoy Hitchcock as much as I did in these episodes, but his “Good call. It was not tasteful” and “I want to humiliate some hussies, and I’m in a hurry” were among my favourite jokes tonight.

The shot went by super fast so I may be mistaken, but I thought Amy had an ankle ruler? Plus a little belt holster for a pen!

I’m struggling to find time for Xenobalde Chronicles 2 thanks to my new job taking an extra 45 minutes from my previous day-to-day. Said job also doesn’t see me having a bunch of idle time sitting in front of a PC so I’m going to be popping in a lot less frequently. Keep playing, and I’ll see you fine folks around.

My favorite is as I’m turning the corner of a ruin I’ve been hiding behind to ambush a Guardian, a Yiga archer appears. Then, three Moblin skeletons appear out of the ground. It’s basically Nintendo giving you the ol’ Blue Shell to remind you that they still control the world you’re playing in.

I am pretty sure DrFlimFlam was planning an “emergency session”, but I’ve not heard details yet.

This was an astonishingly good year for video games, if not always the culture around them. The best games were confident, experimental, thoughtful, surprising, and entirely sincere. Wolfenstein II had a deranged vision about the horrors of American Nazism and what was needed to fight it, but it was also one it fully…

Yup, I’ll be buying MK8DX in the new year just because playing with you guys is so darned fun. I’ll be crossing my fingers and hoping for a sale, haha. Shame about MiiVerse but we had fun while it lasted, eh?

Well, I suppose it will have to be The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, won’t it? Quite a pleasant surprise!

TONIGHT...#Wii U# MK8 on the 8th is OFFICIALLY OVER. There will be no more Wii U scheduled racing for Gameological because creating Tournaments was intrinsically tied to Miiverse. I’m sorry I didn’t think to create a permanent Tournament in time, but it’s appropriate to give the reins over to Switch and embrace…

More ‘Breath of the Wild’, particularly as there’s new DLC out- though my current playthrough is still pretty far off even touching it. Two Divine Beasts down, and now about to tackle the one in the Desert.

Sorry for the double post, but because 2017 in particular had so many darn outstanding games released, I wanted to do a separate thread for personal top 10 lists.

What Have You Finished This Week?
