Here is my list:

Achievements (seriously, who gives a shit?)
Grinding
Pre-Orders (never pre-order)
DLC (Unless it is like, Blood and Wine or completely free, I am not going to spend 20 more bucks on your game)
Motion Controls (I sorta tolerated them five years ago, now they can fuck right off. Controllers are the standard…

I think the years of convoluted rules and the slowly dwindling quality of play is starting to wear on fans. Even the “good” teams this year are very one dimensional, if not outright boring to watch. I still watch a bit, but not nearly to the degree that I used to. There just isn’t a lot of great talent, and the young…

Hey everyone: When you are complaining about lag, literally no one believes you. Unless everyone in the room is lagging out, you are probably just getting rekt.

Carry on.

Brian Anderson coming out is one of the most significant outings in sports history, if you base it purely on the level of athlete. He is the 1999 Thrasher Skater of the Year, which is probably the only agreed upon top prize in skateboarding. It is a super selective list, and a who’s who of the all time greats. From…

Where does “Report: Ted Cruz Planning to Cuck Himself” rank in the pantheon of Deadspin headlines? It has to be in the top five percent.

I sincerely doubt the endorsement of Ted Cruz is really going to move the needle for Trump one way or another. I just enjoy it because Cruz is a shameless pile of trash, and people laughing at him is what he deserves.

It is basically like if Radiohead decided they wanted to be Coldplay. (Gears is much, much better than Coldplay, but you get it.)

To be fair, the last section of RE4 only had a few of the minigun enemies (or J.J., as he is called), and he took the place of the chainsaw maniacs. The final section of RE5 was a very poor cover shooter.

It isn’t necessarily damage. Certain enemies will be coded to have a plaga pop from it every time. In the castle, the ones with the red robes almost always do, for example. If you are in a room of 10 guys, for instance, maybe two will have parasites. If you were to reload that room, you would find the parasites pop…

I know way too much about this game:

Headshots are a good idea. The Las Plagas pop in predetermined enemies, it is not random. And they will pop once the HP hits a certain level, regardless of if you hit a head shot or not.

Otherwise, you are dead on.

The demo shows plenty of evidence of classic RE (weapons, item management, light puzzling) just set in first person. They are holding things back for a reason. It could totally suck, but we don’t know enough yet.

The base that was built with RE4 could have easily been tilted towards horror. Capcom lost most of the leadership that worked on RE4 and before to other companies or they went on to create their own thing. RE5 assumed what people loved about RE4 was the guns and explosions, but it was more nuanced than that. Add in…

I don’t blame the game itself. I blame Capcom from learning all the wrong lessons from it. If Shinji Mikami would have stuck around, we would never have gotten trash like RE6.

RE4's best part isn’t the camera, it is the combination of the faster, smarter enemies and the fact that the game forces you to plant your feet to fire. There is a unique tension that is aided by the fact that the game is much more generous with ammo than previous games, but still restricts resources enough that…

This is good, but I don’t see the point of putting No Man’s Sky in there. The two situations are only tangental to each other. I think a better comparison as far as “good idea, bad idea” goes is Atlus and like... Konami.

Dom Capers and Mike McCarthy are both kinda awful. They were successful at first, but literally everyone has figured out how to beat the Packers. They need to adapt or go.

I am giving credit to the Vikings, but let’s be real.

Bradford was very good, but the bigger story is how bad the Packers are now.

Counterpoint: Dinosaurs are still awesome, it is you that is lame. This is a general idea of what scientists think T. rex actually looked like, and it is fucking terrifying.

Psittacosaurus has always been a chump. Learn your dinosaurs, mate.

I am pretty excited to get rekt by Dark Souls again.
