The surprise is that Sephiroth turns to the camera and announces that you, the person playing the game, are actually still a virgin, just like you were in 1997

If AI was smart enough to read this article and understand it, then it could make its own damn art instead of ripping other peoples’ art off. 

It’s better than the average biopic because it’s presented creatively, with the timeframe of the narrative moving in a nonlinear fashion

I’m really happy for you that you have no idea what it’s like to have severe tinnitus

Everyone’s backlog is getting bigger as games get longer and yes there are Switch games I bought for $40 that I’ve barely started playing in favor of playing another few runs of Hades. If I drop $400 on a Switch 2 or whatever, it would be incredible if I could just not have to spend money buying games for a while and…

This trailer reminds me that after all these years, Skyrim still hasn’t hit a price point low enough for me to buy it (for a third time)

Wow, I did not have “The worst two games will be for properties that are both associated with Peter Jackson” on my 2023 bingo card

It’s not like Scorsese is completely wrong about these films, and it’s not like he’s a bad filmmaker, but I feel like he keeps ignoring both that schlocky event movies are not a problem specific to the current era (in fact you could consider the era he came up in as both very rare and very short), and that the…

I really wish I had nostalgia for this era of stuff, even at the time the N64 felt like the Atari 2600 of 3d games (and I’m old enough to remember that era as well, and don’t miss it either.) Unfortunately I don’t see Analogue making disc-based systems because the cartridge thing is probably easier to navigate…

You can generally save $100 over time by buying games physically (including used) as long as you don’t intend on buying every single game as soon as it comes out. You can definitely save $50 that way.

Pronounce it however you want, only a Cait Sith deals in absolutes

I already knew I wanted to play this but the length definitely makes it more attractive, the last indie RPG I played was Omori and I lost my mind when it still wasn’t over after 30 hours and I found out that I had to beat it more than once to find everything. (Undertale requires multiple playthroughs but it’s closer…

I know this much, I would’ve actually gone to see the film if Burton had directed it, I like Keaton but that alone wasn’t enough for me

I think it was especially a bad idea because it was another reminder of how far apart all these games are and how much their target audience (me) might feel like the idea that we might get one or two more of these before we die is really making the ol midlife crisis that much worse. I’m not saying that I’d like a new…

PC component prices started dropping pretty rapidly this year so it was an absolute no-brainer to rebuild my PC for <$500 when it died rather than pay 2020 prices for a 2020 console. That was about a month ago and already I’ve seen even better CPU/mobo deals than the one I got.

I snuck into two E3s when they were in Atlanta, trust me it isn’t terribly hard, or at least it wasn’t in the 90's

Ffs we’re still getting Clinton jokes at these things? It’s like hack late night monologues from 30 years ago.

I can confirm they sent me between 0 and 10 extra discs and I’m not even a subscriber (it was 0)

ISPs love to place limits, and they can, and if everyone depends on them for cloud gaming, they absolutely will. Get ready for the $200/month “Cloud Gamer Plan” (spoiler alert: it won’t even be very fast)

I’m playing through Metroid Dread for the sixth time. I wasn’t crazy about Metroid Prime back in the day, and when Prime remastered came out I gave it another shot and the whole time I just wanted to go back and play Dread again so that’s what I’m doing. Dread is still great and for all the crap it gets for being too…
