I have a Series S and Series X, but still don’t have a PS5. Of the three systems, Microsoft is the best at handling sharing games. I usually only need to buy one copy of a game for both my kids to not only play it at the same time, but play it together if it’s multiplayer. Also with my gaming laptop, I can play with…

Totally buy that the game is real, having watched some of the nifty stuff Unreal 5 can do over on YouTube. It’s totally possible to photograph and recreate actual buildings from what I understand.

I haven’t started it yet, not because I’m waiting for a physical version like other commenters, but because when I bought it during a Steam sale they had an update on their store page saying a huge free content update was coming in March that would deepen the combat and add all kinds of quality of life stuff to the…

It feels like it goes on forever, I stopped playing about 20 hours in. If you, like me, are coming from XCOM, where after battles you bop around your base, set some things up, do some research, upgrade some troops (spending 15 to 20 minutes tops), then hit the next mission, you will likely feel like this drags. And…

It’s something I personally rarely care about. Being into the endgame means you plan on playing a game for a very long time. I played through the story of Diablo 3 twice, once in co-op, then again when it came out on Switch as a different character. There’s TONS of stuff to do after that if you want to keep chasing…

Man I wanted to like Midnight Suns so bad. The battles are very cool, all the synergies, the impactful animations—it’s really fun! But you only get to do a battle once every 45 minutes because you have to spend so much time running around your base gabbing with all the superheroes. And the writing shifts wildly from…

I have a controller for my phone, the original Razor Kishi, that I got on sale for like 40 bucks. It even works with my phone case still on, which is nice. I recently was on a trip for work, and I loaded my phone up with emulators and dumped some of my favorite ROMs in there, and played some PSP and GBA games on my…

I believe the Logitech Cloud runs on Android, so in addition to streaming GamePass, Playstation, and GeForce Now, it can also play some Android games and emulate retro consoles up to Dreamcast. From what I’ve seen the only big issue with that device is that it costs $350. If it were in the $175 to $200 range, it would…

Explaining an algorithm to my sons was not easy, but I eventually got there using Fortnite. I made up titles of videos about secrets in Fortnite that slowly escalated ending in something like, “The Secret Skins Epic Doesn’t Want You to Unlock!” And then drew a line saying telling them that YouTube is showing them that…

Absolutely wild to me that kids who have grown up in the era of frequent mass shooter drills in their public schools think that pranking people for views is a good idea in America. The likelihood of a problem being solved with a gun is so much higher here! 

“He was marketed as Ken’s friend who could also fit into Ken’s clothes.”

LOL, this just made me even more interested in seeing this movie. 

Hands down the funniest part of the trailer was this totally random shot that does nothing but tell you Michael Cera is there for some reason.

All this is terrible, and that small, but very loud and obnoxious contingent of people who can’t stand to see the social progress made in the world be reflected in their media are dumb.

Yeah, the bar for Mario movies is EXTREMELY low lol. I showed my kids a trailer of the live action version and they were so confused. 

Yes! Who are all these people scoffing at this? This isn’t an adaptation of a heavily cinematic, scripted universe like The Last of Us. It’s Mario!

I hopped in over the weekend with my kids and had fun with all the unlocked suits. I wish that in addition to the multiplier on resources they gave everyone a 1.5 damage multiplier. Playing it again was a reminder of how much of a drag it is to be the Hulk or Thor and wail on a robot for 6 minutes and it barely does…

Spellbreak was really fun. My kids and I had a blast with it when it first launched. It was as close as you could get to having an Avatar: The Last Airbender Battle Royale. 

I think after Endgame they needed to slow WAY down. Instead, they cranked the faucet up—more movies, more characters, and tons of Disney+ shows.

I feel like Yoshi’s Island needs to retire its Mario game status. Sure, it made sense at the time, but thanks to the various Yoshi sequels, it’s clearly its own thing now—a Yoshi game, if you will.

Yeah this article has this kind of weird tone that’s like “Blame these companies wanting to maximize profits!” and like...yes? As you laid out, the cost/benefit ratio has been sliding the wrong way for years.
