One thing that bugged me about the first game was that you were enslaving orcs while also doing side quests about rescuing slaves from the orcs. I always thought—why have the domination mechanic at all? Wouldn’t it be more satisfying if the human slaves you freed could be called upon to fight with you? I don’t even…

Don’t ask me why, but a good 60% of sorority girls have weirdass fucking names. It’s either a name that sounds like it should be their last name, a name that sounds distinctly masculine, or just some random object.

Time to make the comment I always make when somebody compares Trump to Camacho:

So what was the context?

It’s not Batman!

This headline seems borderline libelous. Waxman claimed that Damon and Crowe called her personally to vouch for a figure in her story, not that they actually had any hand in getting the story dropped. The headline makes it sound like they played a much more active and sinister role than that.

Virtue signalling is a term invented by people who are incapable of sincerity, in order to explain why other people occasionally seem sincere.

Yeah, but if they DID have a honey mustard promotion, and you went there specifically for that promotion and no other reason, only to find that they’d only stocked a meager amount of honey mustard which was instantly depleted, you’d probably be justifiably frustrated. I don’t think it justifies acting like an asshole,…

So, I’ve been doing this thing with the Trump people on my facebook page. I very rarely argue with their bullshit anymore, I just politely ask them where they got their information. And it has been really eye-opening: not one single time, across dozens of requests, has one of these folks attempted to back up what…

An interesting thing about Trump’s tweets is that he often puts quotation marks around things that he knows are bullshit, i.e., Obama “wiretapped” Trump Tower. I have no idea what he thinks quotation marks actually mean, but that’s how he seems to use them. So following that pattern, it would seem that he realizes…

I see you’ve played Knifey-Haley before.

I’m a huge fan.

I’m with you, I thought Shadow of Mordor straight-up sucked. Killing orcs was fun, but not enough to sustain a game of that size when there’s literally nothing else to do. It was a tedious, tonally off-putting misuse of the Tolkien license, and at no point in the game did I know or care what was going on in the plot.…

This is what I was thinking. Not to pretend I’m smarter than a bunch of Oxford eggheads, but it seems like even if you could conclusively prove that such technology could never exist in our reality (and I’m already skeptical of any claim to have proven a negative in the first place), how would you even have the frame…

What, did they accidentally leave the T-shirt cannon on the plane?

I love BoI, but the game that really fills that niche for me is Nuclear Throne. I always think I’m going to win on the next try, every single time. Sometimes I do! But usually not.

You know, I’m the same way. I actually find stuff like Dark Souls really relaxing because it cultivates mindfulness and forces me to declutter my thinking. The same goes for tough puzzle games like The Witness or Stephen’s Sausage Roll. As someone who generally has a lot of white noise on the brain, I think it’s…

This is what I really love about Cuphead—as tough as it is, success is about 80% just figuring out the right strategy for each situation.

The heart charm is nice, but the real gem is the one that makes you invincible while dashing.

So, this game is really great. I kind of want to clarify a little bit about the difficulty. Yes, it is a very challenging game; however, my experience so far is that the challenge is based less on twitch skills than it would initially appear. It does require a good bit of dexterity, but I find that the controls and…
