As the sole dude in my gaming group that still plays The Sims fairly often, having spent hundreds of hours designing party mansions and studio bedroom starters, living out my fantasies of being a millionaire artist, I don’t think “Dollhouse Sim” is that inaccurate. Can we take a shot at this from another angle? I…

I’m gonna one up you by sharing this GameBoy Advance software used to tune-up and monitor performance of a CAR!!!!!!!

Ships? There are no ships. There is just Monica.

Sayori really hit home for me. I cried. This game was also truly something helpful for me and my relationship. my husband played it before i did. i didn’t see anything after the twist so i didn’t see it coming. but after it was said and done i could turn to him and go “that’s me. that’s what i deal with.” So yeah. I…

Honestly the game feels less psychological horror and more like an actual metaphor for depression. Down to the ending, and how to obtain the good ending. As a person that’s really been struggling with some form of depression my whole life the game really hit home with me. And I don’t find that odd. There is a…

Sayori’s description of her mental state during that discussion is one of the most realistic views on depression I’ve seen. I could pretty much have said it all myself in truth to a friend.

So, my 10 year old son wanted to play Stardew Valley. As tradition, we always start a new game sitting together on the couch. I let him play and he asks me for help if he doesn’t understand something and we sort of fumble through it together. We started playing around 7pm. At 8:30pm, game goes off and he gets ready…

I’m working on smaller/shorter games whilst awaiting Persona 5...didn’t want to jump into anything big and time consuming. So, I’m going to finish up Firewatch (or what I’ve subtitled “Two Smartasses Talking on a Radio”) and Soma (I’m stuck in the wreck of the Curie and can’t get past that telepathic guy.). Oh, and…

I had an incredibly stressful week involving work and school (I’m a grad student), and found playing the Riddler’s Revenge challenge mode in Arkham City to be a great, mindless stress reliever while listening to podcasts and Drake’s new album. I’ve gotten all the medals for Batman and Catwoman, and now working on…

This weekend I’ll be deep-diving these crazy ass menace dungeons in Final Fantasy XV. I’m on my first one right now, and I’m already at the SECOND camp site in the dungeon, at least an hour and a half in, wondering how deep this thing goes and if I brought enough elixirs.

I’m playing Final Fantasy Brave Exvius on my phone. I just discovered it last week but it’s already taken over my life! I’ve even awoken a Leo and Cloud of Darkness already. I do wish to have rerolled though.

Burnt out on HZD at the big city, just feels like I’m playing a newer Far Cry Primal (which I loved but I’m over) at this point. Think I’m going to head back to the quality games (fuck you lowest-common-denominator AAA titles): Darkest Dungeon, Stardew Valley, Torment.

I find it hilarious that all the actual players of this game are having a great time with it and the trolls and reviews( for the most part, not kotaku) are just taking a shit on it. I’m loving the fuck out of andromeda, it’s the perfect mix of me1 and me3

I’m going to try and finish xcom2 but I will be getting whatever the most delux-super-special-ultra-mega-deity edition of Mass Effect Andromeda. Not even by choice. I’d personally prefer the basic but the person buying it for me differs.

Riley, I have to say that our Witcher 3 journeys have been one in the same. It took me at least 3 tries for the game to really take off for me. I was actually reading your articles about this exact thing when I gave it one more shot. And it was the exact same Bloody Baron quest that got me hooked! I actually site your…

I’ll be playing the awesome “waiting for Persona 5" to come out game. It mostly revolves around me switching between borderlands 2 and overwatch without a lot of gusto.

i dont know , it depends on my mood, and all that stuff, but i might play some virte last reward, mother 3 certaintly ( have a goal to finish it by sunday) , i might play nier automata or persona 4 golden for the third time. Perhaps zelda to or mgsv. Playing new games will trying to sink my backlog.

I’m playing ME:A. Despite the UI, the quest log, and the janky facial animations, I’m having a lot fun. Exploration has been pretty enjoyable (except for when I accidentally drive into an high-radiation area and get lost and die...which is pretty much on me), and I’m someone who previously hated the Mako in ME1.

My plan is to keep picking away at FFXV in anticipation of Episode Gladiolus on Tuesday. I may also finally start Horizon Zero Dawn!
