"Call Me Maybe" has been the summer song of the year every year since 2012.

Nah, we're supposed to use his username and avatar to hunt him down on social media and possibly doxx him so that the A.V. Club has another mindless story to print a week from now.

Journal is this game: http://store.steampowered.c…

I've only played one of those games (Wolfenstein) so maybe that's my problem! (Also my perception is skewed by just how wretched Thief and Journal were.)

It's also the current Revue Club game! http://steamcommunity.com/g…

I liked Part 2 of Burial at Sea, but Part 1 is a buggy, broken mess that tries to cram the explosive combat of the main game into tiny, cramped corridors. I didn't adore Infinite, but I quite liked it, and it's shocking how much worse the first episode of Burial at Sea is. (To give you an idea of how sloppy it is, in…

The plan for this weekend is to finally finish The Descent DLC for Dragon Age: Inquisition. When I was playing the main game, I was very careful to approach combat strategically. Now I just spam Spirit Blade and don't bother to command my other party members. I'm kind of ready for it to be over.

We gave him a chance. It was called the election campaign.

That's true: orgies do have a lot of loose ends.

Don't drink and fuck. Don't fuck people who have drunk. Simple as that.

Ah. I never purchase butter, so I'd never heard of it.

You're absolutely right. My mistake.

… I don't think I get it.

There has to be some sort of catch, because if the vaccine is 100% successful, then Liv would probably take it.

If I recall correctly, starting Ann's confidant story requires a high enough level of Kindness, but beyond that, there's no stat gating.
