For sure the company cut corners when they hired the person/team who designed the emergency pizza coupon system

This is a weird one because Bond probably wouldn’t have been associated with FPS at all if the license didn’t just happen to get handed to Rare at the right time for that team to make a totally groundbreaking console FPS which they basically snuck multiplayer into. So in a way that team is still changing history, even…

I would like the option to play roulette while talking shit directly to the main villain at the table for 20 hours.

It’s really hilarious that I found out this game existed when I saw this article https://kotaku.com/mw3-pc-specs-modern-warfare-3-cod-1850976632 about how “Modern Warfare 3 will run on your dinosaur computer” and I was like duh of course it can, it’s over a decade old. Someone needs to stage an intervention with…

It’s like a version of a restaurant manager punishing a server to make a customer happy, except imagine the restaurant manager is making 1000x what the server makes and the only reason you had a bad experience is because not enough money went towards purchasing quality ingredients for your meal.

As an adult, I can look back on myself watching it as a 22-year old the first time and although I would’ve said at the time that I got the point, I also had a lot of fun rewatching it over and over and it never felt like the horror of what was going on ever got to me, so either the movie didn’t quite work or maybe I…

I have a hard time imagining any adult of average intelligence looking at that teaser and thinking anything except “welp this is proof that they’ve barely done any work on this game and it’s really far away” so anyone who was legitimately angry would probably have stayed angry at that reveal.

It sounds like Remedy understands the mistakes they made with the first Alan Wake, but as someone who also hated playing the first AW and never finished it, and loved playing Control (and absolutely loves the world that Remedy has built around these games), I’m very nervous about how fun this new one will be.…

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

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

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 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.
