Sorry I can’t hear you I’m playing all of the Yakuza games in order. 

Yeah!! It’s not only that is there so much stuff to consume... games, shows, movies, etc etc... but also so much of it is right at our fingertips! Like when we were kids, my TV only picked up 5 different channels on its antenna. I had maybe 6 different VHS tapes that I could watch on the regular. And same with… Read more

Do you feel old? How old are you? Do you consider yourself an adult? 
Talk to me when you reach my age! The age of 33!!! Then you’ll learn deep truths that are only understood by the 33 year olds... But really, no, I don’t feel much like an adult. I still love most of the same stuff I did when I was a teenager, there’s… Read more

Cut it out dude you’re making me look bad for never finishing games. 

This is an acceptable temperature of take for me. 

Haha, yep, Aquaman got big points from me for being “not the worst DC movie I’ve seen.” The drumming octopus was a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it bit... Really, so much of that movie was just visual overload. But it wasn’t boring! Read more

I want to play Disco Elysium! I consider myself a big CRPG fan but I also haven’t actually finished one since Baldur’s Gate II in high school... They just take so long! I put in like 12 hours on Pillars of Eternity but lost my motivation...

Yeah, to add to what akit0sh said, they don’t really give you any chance to safely learn the lightning parry until you fight Genichiro, which is kind of mean, but it’s also got a more-generous timing window than a lot of the other moves... so as long as you remember what you’re supposed to do (jump + attack as the… Read more

I liked the ape! It was very tough but didn’t feel too cheap. His attacks are pretty easy to read once you know them. And that’s probably more like... 60% into the game. The one I’m talking about is called the demon of hatred. I just recently watched an AGDQ speedrunner lure him off a cliff in like 30 seconds flat. I…

Lol same! I tried to ollie off 3 stairs once back in middle school, ate it pretty hard, and never again. Too scary! Worst thing that ever happened to me was a small chipped tooth that I didn’t even need to get fixed, so I got off lucky too. Read more

Ooofa doofa, sekiro. That’s a toughie. Here’s my shameful secret, I stopped playing on the last optional boss in the entire game. I grit my teeth and worked my ass off to get there, then this one asshole boss just destroyed my confidence. And that was like a year ago, no way I’m coming back to it now rusty as hell...… Read more

Heh, when I was an undergrad I had a roommate who got a ps3 at launch with GTA4 and it was totally mindblowing how good that game looked. I didn’t get one for years after that, but I definitely had the same idea in my head about how amazing and powerful the ps3 was... and on a side note, I’ve had my ps3 in my bedroom… Read more

Oh boy, 2010... I think that was about when I started reading Kotaku too! Let’s see, I’d just finished grad school and was working a terrible job. I think I’d also just bought my ps3 around then which was my first console in years... Honestly it still feels really recent even though I consciously understand that it…

Some awesome tracks to add to my rotation, thanks for writing this!

Doseone and Jel as a duo (going by Themselves, or Them sometimes) were directly responsible for me getting into indie rap all the way back in the early aughts. If you can find a copy of The No Music I highly recommend it... Love to be that guy who’s all “I LIKED IT BEFORE IT WAS POPULAR!!!!” XD But really, this is a…

You think I don’t have rECeIpTs??? The Contract Has Been Sealed...

Seriously. Ban tuesdays. Nothing good has ever happened on a tuesday... Read more

I noticed recently that tuesdays are the days I’m most likely to get in late to work or call out completely. I think I can psyche myself up for monday, but once tuesday hits I despair. Wednesdays are fine. Read more

Heh, I am in my 30's!! Partying all night means getting 8+ hours sleep. Now that is my kind of party. Read more

Hiya Slinks! And happy pre-birthday! Hope you have a great time. Like you, I might be equally horrified at the prospect of making a facebook event and trying to get people to come... I always play it reeealll casual when it’s my birthday, not because I hate parties (tho I don’t love them) but because I don’t want… Read more
