We asked what game you wanted us to stream and robo-dino hunting sim Horizon: Zero Dawn came out on top; here’s the stream archive for tonight’s broadcast.

That’s because a good portion of the people complaining are either used to:

The difference is that T2 made that acrobat stuff a central aspect of its gameplay, rather than tacking it onto standard FPS action. It does this incredibly well. It’s definitely not for everyone, though!

Titanfall 2's latest piece of free DLC Monarch’s Reign releases on the 30th. It will include an all new Titan, the Monarch. It is a mid-range Titan that can upgrade itself by collecting new parts on the battlefield, hopefully combining into a massive Voltron-esque doom bot.

i remember as a child the sheer excitement of those few minutes between finishing up paying for the game and running the ticket fast as i could to that back office to get the physical game. modern day, you just buy it online from the ps store or steam. feels a lot less satisfying.

literally just was flooded by memories that would normally have never been remembered again.

Brings to mind the episode of 40 Rock where Liz (who thought she was bullied by everyone in high school) finds out everyone else thought SHE was the bully. (And I think I maybe remember Tina Fey describing this happening in her real life too in her book?)

Pretending bullying is black and white, and that the world can be sliced into “bullies” and “the bullied”, is always a bit daft.

I didn’t grow up with a lot of money. I vividly remember my dad coming home after work with a ticket for SMB3 to surprise my siblings and I, then us heading to TRU to redeem it. Our parents let us hook the NES up to the “big” 27" living room tv to play it that evening. I still think about what they went without to…

My first day of elementary school:

I miss that feeling of anticipation. It’s just not the same as watching a progress bar for a download. I guess you could do the same thing at EB Games/GameStop, but that would require going into an EB Games/GameStop.

Ah, the Ticket Wall:

It was a transcending moment in gaming, the joy of reaching the counter, handing over the ticket, and watching someone pull the game from the stacks of games neatly arranged and/or hot out of the box back there.

The glass case wall too. I miss that from the old Toys’R’us alongside the paper flaps. Nothing like seeing what consoles and stuff looked like in the flesh before you got it.

I remember looking for a PS3 (FIVE HUNDRED NINETY NINE US DOLLARS!) around Christmas time. I went to TRU and they had tickets laying in the slip for the console. I was with a buddy and we both grabbed one. “Yeah, right. They don’t have any. A guy can dream, though.”

Nope; the saddest was when there *was* a ticket, and the cashier would tell you it was a mistake, and that the game was actually sold out.

As a kid in the 80's, the great wall of video game flaps was one of my greatest memories. Trying to make a decision and selecting the 1-2 paper tags was an awesome experience.

I hated it when there were too many tickets but not enough games. That happened to me with Super Mario Bros. 3 and it was a wild goose chase but I finally got it for my birthday.

Really excited to read this when I’m not at work, but felt compelled to raise a Toys “R” Us tangent:
