My company regularly (three to five times a year) requires me to work overtime to “represent”’ the company outside regular work hours. Our employee handbook says these hours are unpaid and required, and often they are in places like travel conferences where I cannot simply walk away and leave a booth or meeting…

Kind of funny that Disney is so cautious about the video game when it feels like the most recent movies were so lackadaisical to the point that it felt like throwing things at a wall to see what sticks (I say this even having enjoyed most of the new stuff). I get wanting to put out a quality, tightly controlled,…

I found that FF XIII-3 dragged a bit but was overall an enjoyable game. However, it was FF XIII-2 that shines as criminally underrated to me. They took a character (Sera) who was little more than a plot device in XIII and fleshed her out to be a great character. They also redeemed characters like Hope who was whiney…

Arguably, modern open-world RPGs (and several other game genres) began with text games like Zork.  Despite being simple now, a few decades or so into the future, we may remember this as where truly fully immersive adaptive gaming started.

One of my friend’s older brothers got a Dreamcast early on (a common narrative for a 90s kid like me).  I never got the chance to own it, but I remember pretty clearly how strange and futuristic the console seemed to me, especially the VMUs.  Even today, I still look back on the Dreamcast like some alien artifact from…

First thoughts:

Empire is one of my favorites too, but it is important to not forget that it is an unfinished game. They let their ambition get ahead of their time and budget, and when it was released, it was half-finished. At the time, the announcement of Napoleon Total War was a kick in the teeth because it was literally the…

Did they clean up the airport yet?  It seems silly to have Doomfist’s perpetual debris in there now that Orisa is in the game.

They need a Doodlebob!

I’d be happy if a team could just ride the payload...

Is this a repackaging of Oblivion assets?  Everything seems to have that circa 2006 Oblivion glaze.

Playing a random nobody that has five days left to make rent money is like my full time real world job...

I use two monitors so I can multitask. I like having my games in Borderless Window mode, and unless an ultrawide monitor had native support for zones or divisions that would emulate multiple monitors, this wouldn’t necessarily be the same kind of experience.

May I suggest the addition of “Tachyon: The Fringe”?  Bruce Campbell voices the main character and the space dog fighting is pretty great even today.

So we’ve covered what happens when various characters put on the magic Peach crown--but what happens when Peach takes OFF her crown?

Okay, but can we talk about how this looks like it was made with the Sims 4?

I will fit through the door going in.  I can’t guarantee I will fit going out.

I remember those parody videos “Jeff from the Overwatch Team”.  One of the early ones remixed her to say they were making her a long-range beam sniper.  The prophecy has been fulfilled.

I’m horrified, and strangely intrigued. My brain says no, my stomach says, “Bring on the donug.”

Honestly, I play Soul Calibur for the awesome character customization. I don’t think I ever touch the stock roster except for the short campaign modes.
