Or some game’s highs can overshadow their lows after you drift away for one thing or another. Ive tried 4 times now to beat D: OS2, and on paper it is a game that is custom made for me. Love me some rpgs, love tabletop style even more (DMing two seperate campaigns at once), fantasy, cheeky writing, xcom style…

I grew up reading western fantasy, and I absolutely fucking OD’d on it. To a point where I didn’t read *any* fantasy for like 5 years; just read hoighty toighty “real novels” and non-fiction history or science books. Just throwing that out there so that you believe me when I say that The Witcher’s world, and its…

I have never been so upset at myself for becoming so bored, so quickly, with a game than I have with Indivisible. Its odd, cause I found my first actual waifu in in the same game: Razmi. Black marks to the sense of progression, feeling of combat, and the platforming. ... Y’all, if you’re gonna have tight platforming,…

You’re right, but not in the way you’re intending. The problem with blackface, and why its so hard to “pull off” as it were, is that your intentions do not matter. If you’re painting your face black you are inadvertently recreating the old minstrel shows, regardless of your intent. Now, you CAN do it, if you lampshade…

Skipper Jokes and Emily Blunt as Indiana Jones? Yeah, okay, fuck you Disney. I’ll see it, but I don’t have to like that I like it. 

Give Patty Jenkins control of the whole DCU, take out studio control, and give Supes back to Routh. I’ll stand by the statement that he was the best Superman ever put to screen, large and small. He would actually have the boy scout pathos to pull off an All-Star Superman adaptation. 

This is my pick. Plus it’ll get to show a side of Batman that is never in the movies, his empathy with the villains. Not all of them, of course; Penguin doesn’t get any love cause he’s a conniving and ruthless gangster, same with Maroni. But folks like Ivy, Harley, Clayface, and Ventriloquist has Bats recognize that…

Plus you could reform him and bring it in line with the comics. The clayface rehab and addition to Batman’s secret lil swat team is up there with the Ivy/Harley and Riddler changes. And if iirc this is supposed to basically be a retelling of the Long Halloween, so you have a cavalcade of rogues to choose from (not to…

Whelp, this is one of those times where maybe pre-deciding you hated it and realizing you were wrong could lead to growth as a person. OR we can double down and (not-so) subtly side eye its accolades and pretend our presupposition was still correct. Either way, I’m gonna go see it. Is this gonna be Io9's new Iron…

Its that fucking overworld theme. Over and over and over and over. Maybe the battle theme doesn’t grate on me so badly cause I already went and turned the music down to 0 (which sucks, cause certain specific event pieces are still good) and I use spotify to curate my own soundtrack. But by the time I reached the 4th…

My pet theories: Doom is gonna be handled with as much care as any character in the MCU. He is gonna be this arc’s Loki, and considering how well the writers/directors/entire creative team hold the comics in respect he can absolutely become the audiences’ “bad boy cheer section”. I keep hearing that a combo of him, or…

Ive tried to get into this game twice now, both on friends and reviewers recommendations. They arent lying when they say it is gorgeous, and the story, even early on, is engaging and a return to 5-10 level of storytelling (i like 12 too, chill). But be very forewarned, no one has accurately described the grind of the…

Me: Awww yeah, love me some puzzles. Just as long as its not a music based one, I have a terrible ear for it (Flashbacks of Myst).

Nah, you wont see anything on BG&E2 until its release year now. They had trailers, twists, and gameplay to prove it and hype it. Now theyll sit on it until its ready.

I’m so confused as to why there is a general agreement in nerd culture that he went to an alternate timeline. If the stones are where they are supposed to be there’s no split. Even Loki bouncing doesn’t cause a split cause it (space gem) ends up in Asgard at the right time (Thor 2). The only split that happens is when…

First off, the site *totally* knew he was speaking out his ass when he said he was unaware of the “political climate”. I mean, just using that phrase implies that he isnt wrong so much as the group think wont let him express his better opinions without backlash. Anyway, they knew he was lying cause they suspended him…

I disagree. I think that the Russos knew that the MCU was 0 for 2 (i never heard the Dana one, i don’t disbelieve it but i ain’t counting rumor mill) for trying to include LGBT representation. Plus everyone trying to do it was trying to do it as organically as possible, not to risk offending the “shove it in our…

This is a puff piece and a half. Sorry bud, i know they withold access but i want my games reporting to not be an advertising arm. Thisll be my last click through.

Saw some of the gamergate style folks and outlets blowing up about this this morning and i kinda assumed it was blown out of proportion. I mean, they get triggered about anything they view as an attack on their lifestyle. This is the first good article ive seen, holy shit... like, twitch would ban the channel for this…

That dude is channeling every expression Craig Robinson ever had on the Office.
