I've convinced my friends to do a group playthrough of Until Dawn prior to Halloween this year. I loved it so much the first time through and I want to watch them play it and see what choices they make and just have the whole, fun experience again.

I'm considering picking up Abzu, especially now that it's on sale for PS Plus subscribers. Would you say it's comparable in length to Journey, AKA good for a nice, lazy afternoon?

2016 must be getting to me, because when I scrolled down and saw his face before reading the title of the article, my first thought was to worry he had died.

Loved Oxenfree! I actually played it twice, back-to-back, and while the second playthrough definitely felt like it dragged slightly after having played through it so recently, I really enjoyed it both times. Glad you had a good time with it, and I agree 100% on the awesome eeriness of analog tech!

Well, this week I beat Mega Man 2 and Mega Man 3. I actually found 3 to be the most frustrating so far, even moreso than 1. While I appreciated that the bosses in 3 felt (to me at least) as though they were tougher even with the weapon they're weak to, other parts felt more challenging because of poor design. The…

I have nothing poignant to add to the discussion, but I did once read a (not to be taken seriously) theory that Wario is Ness's dad, solely because his dad's laugh is written as "Wa-ha-ha" and he loves money, just like Wario. It's kinda fun to picture Wario on the other end of the line whenever Ness calls his dad.

Finally finishing DOOM. Again, I'm sounding like a broken record, I know.

I bought a used copy from a local game store for $30 and IT WAS SCRATCHED and they wouldn't take it back! So I've still got the non-working copy sitting around, and it makes me upset every time.

Huh, I had no idea there was an iOS port! Doesn't seem like the controls would transfer well. Glad you're enjoying it now, though!

Is this your first time playing? It might be my favorite game of all time. There's a lot of competition for that spot, but man is it incredibly fun. I love how bananas the story gets. It's everything I love about B-horror.

Potentially finishing DOOM. But probably not. As I've said before, I'm not using a guide while finding all the secrets before moving on to the next level, so that takes a while. The weather is getting cooler where I am, though, which is putting me in a Halloween mood (it doesn't take much for me to be in a Halloween…

An Animal Crossing game on smartphones would be pretty neat! I've always been intrigued by those games, but they don't seem meaty enough to play on console, and I don't carry a 3DS around with me. Mobile seems like the perfect platform for me to actually dive in.

Serious question for anybody: whenever my iPhone 5S craps out, what would be a good iPhone alternative? I'm not quite sure I'm ready to jump ship yet, but I'm also not sure what else is out there. The main reason I've stuck with Apple is because I have a huge music library on iTunes and it's very easy to transfer…

Does that game work as a Mad Max story at all? I've heard that the gameplay is very average—it's good but nothing special—but if it really feels like Mad Max, then I think I have to try it out.

I've got a busy weekend, but if I have time to play anything, it will be DOOM. It's easily my favorite FPS I've ever played. I've never been much of an FPS gamer, so take that with a grain of salt, but I just love so much about this game. I saw some complaints that searching for the secrets kills the momentum, but I…

Just listened to this album yesterday! One of my top 10 albums ever, and possibly the top metal album for me.

For whatever reason, the burst jumps just make sense to me. A lot of the platforming has been easier for me just because I've been able to jump over and bypass a lot of the trickier stuff. And for the most part, the bosses have been very easy. Tinker Knight in particular was a joke. But something about Propeller…

DOOM! I'm having such a good time with it, and I'm not usually a huge FPS guy. But this is just so fun and the atmosphere is great and I love the open-ended maps, just like the old Doom games. I'm taking my sweet time getting through it, finding all the secrets and getting the top combat rating in each level before…

Wow. Extremely well-put. Thanks for sharing this. I know it was probably hard and took a lot of courage, but I know it gave me a new, important perspective on this issue, and I'm sure it will do/has done the same for others.

Watching that seriously caused me stress. I was tensing up so much every time he got knocked back by getting hit by one of the BS enemies. I can't imagine what attempting to play that would do to me.
