I really liked this game when it came out but never completed it. To be fair, I didn’t like the tone of FFX and just wasn’t into “the world” the same way I was with even FF8, so XII felt like a real breath of fresh air. There’s a lot of neat, open environments that were lush to look at even back in those days and the…

As JediaKyrol said, this game doesn’t have nearly that level of content but it is an ever-evolving set of mechanics that just feel good to mess around with. It has those neat watershed moments of “Oh! Okay, that’s what that organism can do” and then you let that organism loose in its ideal playground.

This is such an interesting topic for me. Early Access games are so intriguing because there are very few instances in other media where we GET this sort of thing. TV shows have pilots, but typically we only see those once they get a full season order. Musicians put out demos and EP’s that typically feature a small…

Back when I was doing the Youtube thing more seriously, I received the game from Sean and he’s just a super dude. The game is genuinely fun too - but it’s not for everyone. There’s a lot of hard-ish science behind the systems and you have to strike a careful balance between the different species you can generate to…

Now I’m genuinely interested in this production. Reminds me of all the crazy stories that happened after the first few showing of Stravinky’s Rite of Spring - which basically almost burnt down the theatre they were staging it in. I love that nonsense for some raisin.

This isn’t surprising. If you were going to release it in the fall, especially a game of this level of controversy, you’re asking for trouble. Early 2018 might be fine depending on how close it is to whenever red dead gets released.

Agreed. I’m not from Boston, but I live nearby and go pretty often as I have lots of friends and family in and around the city. There were a lot of old time neighborhoods I used to go to as a kid that feel really foreign to me now. The city has changed so much - and while it all feels a little nicer and cleaner, the…

Part of me is really sad by this. I’ve been following some of his content lately out of sheer interest following events like that tweet and while I rarely agree with the guy, he at least asserts himself well and tries to back up some of his stuff. He has a real love for american history and political philosophy and it…

To those coming into Stardew Valley fresh...welcome! Enjoy the game and take your time. It’s a really wonderful experience.

This was the reply I was desperately needing.

For someone with a budget PC and an older TV, this checklist has saved me immeasurably.

I know what you’re saying is right, and I absolutely believe it. But my WASD keys are getting very upset with you.

Just started playing Overwatch PC this past weekend and I feel like some of the heroes actually play better with a controller. It’s so bizarre. I have my controller right next to my keyboard and depending on what’s needed and who I’m playing I’ll switch back and forth because one requires more precision or one just…

It really depends on which mode you select too. quick matches really don’t have that meta of requiring voice communication and I get by just fine with the built-in emotes and requests. I did play a few with my mic and voice chat on and it was beyond obnoxious. I didn’t realize how much I hated country radio until one…

I finally pulled the trigger on purchasing Overwatch after seeing it on sale on Amazon, that free weekend be damned. I’ve played maybe a half dozen bot matches and maybe two dozen quick matches with real people. I’m loving every second of it, too! I’m not normally into multiplayer games, but boy has Overwatch…

I laughed heartily at this. I love these clueless gamer segments, they remind me of my father trying to play a game. All he cares about is stuff happening, not necessarily on the actual substance of the game.

It’s always hard to read tone online, I apologize. Well said.

There are hints of it, definitely, but the subversion is when the real magic starts. There are these hints at something bad happening in the house, the mystery behind the Uncle who previously owned it and you find Bibles littered around the house.

Depends on personal experiences. I didn’t physically cry, but I got real melancholy about it. I grew up in the 90's, had friends that were scene/punx folks. It’s not just a touching story about a young girl discovering herself, it’s about nostalgia for a simpler time with notes being passed in class and writing down…

Good on them. It’s a solid little game that delivers exactly what it promises. For free, you can’t really go wrong. If you were ever on the fence about this title now is the time to get in on the game. I recommend playing it in one sitting, in a dark room with your head phones on. No real scares or anything, but it…
