Tbh I’m hoping that President Hudson will be a boss fight, I want to fight him

It started with the Star Wars prequels, George Lucas didn’t seem to have any understanding that part of what made Star Wars “magic” for people was that the force was vague and the galaxy was full of mystery and adventure that we all explored through the eyes of our fresh-faced protagonists. Now we basically have TV…

I’ve been excited for Tears of the Kingdom since it was announced but there’s definitely a voice in my head that is screaming to start an Elden Ring NG+ right now

As someone who works for tips this is one of my worst nightmares unfolding, business owners are using tech and hand-waving to collect more money for doing less, and the discourse (including this article) keeps furthering the conversation as “tipping is out of control” and that trickles down to myself and other people…

As someone who bought Fallout New Vegas the week it came out, not only does nobody seem to know how bad it was on release, but I’ve spent 10+ years hearing people describe it as a “perfect” game. The main reason for a writer to focus on the positive is just that a review of a released-but-unfinished game that focuses…

I am 45 and just finished a glorious 200 hour playthrough of Elden Ring which I realized halfway through was a midlife crisis game for me to “prove I’ve still got it” so if anything I kind of feel like I’m looking at this from the other end and am considering taking a break from all video games *after* TOTK…

I think he believes in nothing and there is no point, and that he has some kind of impulse to emulate a person who does believe in something because he doesn’t actually know what meaning is, and also probably does not understand the very human fear and anxiety that prevents most of us from doing this stuff. The…

Even if America’s internet infrastructure was overhauled enough that this was possible (it won’t soon and it might never), if *everyone* had to game on streaming platforms, the load on the servers and the internet itself would be insane when a big new release came out, imagine trying to play the new Zelda game on the…

All this talk of delivery makes me wonder if they’re deliberately understaffing all the drivethroughs just to push a delivery service that many people don’t need or want. When I drive past the local McDonalds and see cars wrap around the building I keep driving, but I’m not driving home to order delivery, I’m driving…

Truly the moon economy is the worst thing about that game, and I’d put possession of the innocent down as one of my favorite things because transhumanism is a weird concept that hasn’t been explored in the series since Yoshi turned into vehicles, and who doesn’t love a good moral quandary to make your decisions feel…

Not only that but Lovecraft died dirt poor, and Rowling has more money than god and could set up mechanisms to have said money influence real world politics from now until forever. 

I just wanna know if it’s going to be funny, and I have a bad feeling that it will not be, like at all.

It would never happen, but I’d be there day 1 for a Splatoon movie that was entirely in the fake squid language with subtitles

The Baby

He’s lucky this isn’t Russia, because in that case he probably would’ve “accidentally” fallen out a window or something.

Definitely agree with Odyssey’s placement, it was great but it felt lacking for being the “main” Mario game on the new console, the moon economy was all out of whack. Hopefully we get Super Mario Universe or something.

IT’S-A PEE!

After wasting so many hours in Borderlands getting shit weapons that I had to carefully examine to figure out how shitty they were and then go out of my way to sell them or whatever, it felt great just to be able to chuck a sword at an enemy knowing I had 20 more. Destroying my loot makes me feel richer, not poorer.

When I think “Inception” plus game design, I just want something simple where you can create games within games, like Virtual Virtual Reality or Accounting+, let going deeper be part of the fun, but that probably is not where we’re going with this.

I don’t mind that kind of signposting, I bounced off of the Castle Wolfenstein reboot because the ammo was all hard to see and I had to push a button to pick it up even though there would be no reason to not pick it up. Picking things up is not fun so it should be as easy as possible.
