The party has entered combat. Roll for initiative...and you can spend 50 Dungeon Gems™ to GUARANTEE a roll of 17 or higher!

In Florida, the further north you travel, the further South you get.

I get that too, but not everyone will: it’s because all of those ‘Fallout 76' names are wrapped in Amazon affiliate links, which are then hidden by one of my adblocking plugins (either uBlock Origin or Privacy Badger) via injected styles.

Konami?  The pachinko guys?  Since when do they make video games?

The pressure on Ebay and the like would come from Nvidia in that case, by the way of fines or whatever.

Let me get this straight: someone is providing a sharing service, without the consent of the entity whose product is being shared, to the disadvantage of others in that space, that allows other third parties to profit from that service. Huh. Something about that sounds oddly familiar.

You know who won’t be there?

It’s more than Fortnite though. Hell, it’s more than *gaming.*

So, there’s this scene in The Two Towers where the orcs begin murdering each other over whether to eat the Hobbits alive or bring them to Saruman, who will torture them to death.

Christ, Microsoft, just rename your ninth-gen hardware the Xbox Sad Trombone and call it a day.

The marketing, or more specifically, Microsoft’s marketing. Microsoft is talking up the power of the Xbox Series X, which is entirely understandable. But doing so sets a standard, and let’s be honest, the gameplay trailer they showed some weeks back was pretty clearly made while the game was very much a work in…

It would be nice someday if Disney gave us a Pirates of Caribbean that featured a lead that was Caribbean, ie representing the polyglot multiracial nature of the region. As someone with a West Indian heritage that was something always notably absent from the franchise. I’m sure the supporting casts will be diverse…

I think there’s a huge amount of truth to the “map game” concept here, and it goes some way to explaining why I so rarely complete these vast open world games that I initially fall in love with. I end up getting distracted and caught up in the minutae of side quests and exploration, but by the time I’m ready to return…

Again, nowhere in that does it say how many or even when those titles will be playable on PS5.

On the other hand, all Titans tv characters are extremely annoying.  It’s like conversation therapy.  I’m gay, but that show has me hating dick now.

In 2001 I was 11 years old. And all I wanted was a Gamecube.

Greedy psychopaths are weird that way.

Back when I was in school, we had an assembly near the end of the year where any teachers/faculty that were leaving would be honored and we’d all clap and such. It was always bittersweet when a teacher everyone loved had to leave for whatever reason, but word had circulated that these teachers were laid off for budget…

Having never played any Pokemon game, I read this article and made a note to give Gold a try. Seventy-five (!) play-hours later, I knocked off the Elite Four on the first try with Feraligatr, Ampheros, Graveler, Machamp, Bellossom, and Jynx. It's a really fun and super deep game. It must have been really hard…
