My list would be:

I’ve been playing Pentiment as well. I just got to the part where the Baron’s body is discovered, so I’ve got quite an investigation ahead of me. I’m very interested to see where it goes, though if I recall what I’ve read correctly, the game never reveals the canonical murderer, so you’re always guaranteed to feel a…

“Sex Pest Defends Fraudster”

Imagine if the A.V. Club reportedly clearly and honestly on legal matters. Think of all the hot takes they wouldn’t be able to produce!

I don’t care if Holiday Haunt was the most soulless cash-in on the planet. David Zaslav should be force-fed smegma sandwiches and made to wash them down with jars of Scrappy-Doo’s urine for the rest of his days on this planet.

I’m still having great fun with Xenoblade Chronicles 3, unfogging more and more of each map and clearing out side content. I wish there were a bit more verticality to some of these maps — there’s nothing like Uraya or Tantal from XC2 — but there’s suitable complexity coming from the labyrinthine nature of some of…

I’d love to dive into Sparks of Hope this weekend (and I don’t think it needs to get any more wacky or out-there than its predecessor), but I’m still working my way through Xenoblade Chronicles 3. I’m going to try to finish up Chapter 5 this weekend so I can progress the rest of the story. I’ve heard the chapter’s…

Murray, just in case it wasn’t clear.

You sound sane and well-adjusted.

Christ, what an asshole.

Loved this guy. RIP.

This weekend will be devoted to making more progress in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. I realize that I’ve been playing this game since the summer, but I’ve been savouring it, playing an hour or so each day. I’m at the 105-hour mark, and I’m still in Chapter 5. This weekend, I intend to push through to the finale of Chapter…

This is the most transparently bullshit reason to disqualify a film from consideration that I’ve ever read. Either the Academy fundamentally doesn’t understand what rotoscoping is (which I wouldn’t be shocked about), or they’re looking for an excuse to disqualify this film specifically.

Probably playing a bit more Soul Hackers 2 this week, though I might wait for the QoL patch hitting this November before returning. There are some good bones here, but the dungeon design is so God-awful that it ruins any sense of joy. Hopefully being able to speed up enemy turns will at least allow me to plough…

There was a biting, culturally-specific edge to the first season that was missing from subsequent ones. I stopped watching, because the show was just so toothless at a certain point.

That’s very helpful. Thanks for the info!

One question I haven’t seen answered online: Is Return to Monkey Island playable for folks who haven’t played the first two Monkey Island games? I’ve only played Tales.

She’s kinda starting to look like Courteney Cox (which is neither a good thing nor a bad thing, just an observation).

Nuclear take: Community should have ended after Season 1.
