Orange Box, New Vegas, and Arkham Asylum are all fantastic choices. I really want to play Half-Life 2 at some point, but I probably won’t. Unless this happens.

Wait, Elder Scrolls VI is being announced this week?? Awesome, thanks Jason!!

No worries at all. Yeah I thought maybe you had an Xbone because you were going to buy Cuphead soon, but I know that’s on PC as well. But yeah, Blast Corps holds up today mainly because it’s just really fun to play, and because it is a unique gameplay idea (demolishing buildings to clear a path for a rolling nuclear…

Blast Corps is soooooooo much fun. I played it last night for the first time in many years and thankfully it holds up. I highly recommend it for the price of Rare Replay, if you have an Xbone.

The real answer is that I’m playing the piano for 18 hours this weekend. If I have time, it’ll be more Cuphead (which is FANTASTIC), Stardew Valley, Super Mario Odyssey, and if the email Target sent me is accurate, Blast Corps!!!!!!! via Rare Replay.

Wow, she is very good, and very beautiul. And she has great taste in games. I’ve never considered giving to a Patreon before, but I am now.

Because he was a declared socialist for most of his career. Also because a few of his biggest ideas were absurd pipe dreams, like free college tuition for anyone who wanted it.

I’m sorry, you’re right. Spice Gamecube is the best.

Absolutely, but I don’t get what that has to do with my comment

The N64 is my least favorite Nintendo home console, but it did have the best physical variants, Spice-colored Gamecube notwithstanding.

The media has been aware of kids blowing parents’ money on microtransactions for years, but that’s not the same as loot boxes, specifically because neither the media nor the public associated microtransactions with gambling until now. And the political climate was much different in the early 90s when Mortal Kombat…

I disagree with your first paragraph. It takes a long time for something like this to be recognized by the mainstream, non-gaming press. And once that happens, it takes a long time for anything to happen in Congress or state legislatures. I’m not saying the government will definitely step in, but this is about the…

Mr. Tieryas was guest editor this holiday weekend, and he used it to write thinkpieces on a whole bunch of older games he loved. He mentioned it in the comments section of the first piece he wrote, on Child of Light, but no where else I noticed. It was a little confusing if you didn’t happen to see that comment.

Damn, you were a prison chaplain? That’s impressive and fascinating.

I always wanted to walk through Mute City, either in a game or IRL.

Very interesting question! Three came to mind immediately:

I feel like this game has gotten a bad wrap in the zeigeist since it came out, and I’m not sure why. Anyone on the fence should go read Jason Schreier’s review, it is SPOT ON. And then go buy the game!

Well no, that’s not what I said at all, but that was a nice job you did at twisting my words to support your asinine argument. If you look at my comments, you’ll notice I never said the IOC was the only sporting organization that has the authority to define what sports are. I never argued that anything not in the…

False. I explained in technical terms in another post why Life in Aggro is objectively not funny this week. I’m not going to do it again, but you can easily find it if you’re curious. But joke writing, like any other skilled profession in the world, has technique and structural rules that should be followed, and…

No it’s not. Your argument would boil down to “the people who decide the programming for ESPN get to define what sports are”. My argument boils down to “the largest international sporting organization running the most prestigious international sporting competition has the authority to define what sports are”, which…
