Me: Eh, MMOs get boring so quickly. The only thing that could get me to play another MMO would be if I could play as an adorable bunny rabbit. Preferably with summoning powers of some kind.

All of these songs make me itch to play them in a DDR game instead...

Still waiting for the 2nd Gen version of the hardware. I just got a WiiU, though, and a friend THOUGHT it was a Switch.

On the one hand, this is hilarious, and I’m always tickled to see male characters getting weirdly objectified in an incredibly specific stat-based manner. On the other hand, and I’ve always been curious about this because I don’t actually have a dick, is dick size really a quantifiable advantage? As a woman who has…

I’m glad to hear that Apocalypse is more character-focused. That makes it much easier for me to stick with a game, and as I much as I love the SMT mechanics, the games with strong, character-based narratives are the ones I get really into. So like Nocturne is iconic and amazing, but I found the Raidou games to be so…

I, too, have been in this SMT timeline loop since 2013. I just restarted it for the third time, and I made it into Unclean Tokyo for the first time. Those bosses really take a toll. I’m on attempt number eight against Medusa, and I had to take a break to go fuse more Zan-based demons...

Persona Q is great, but about as difficult as SMT IV and with big heaping helpful of extra, complicated mechanics. Tokyo Mirage Sessions is much more chill (despite the fact that I’m playing on Hard), and it’s got the added bonus of adorable animated J-pop videos. Strange Journey was very similar to SMT IV, but I…

I love everything about this event, and this most excellent article that you’ve written to describe this. In addition to being an avowed gamer, I’m also a theatre practitioner - an actor, director, dramaturg, stage manager, props artisan, a bit of everything, really - and theatre is an art founded on impermanence.…

Something about Sora’s little tail just weirds me the hell out.

But did they fix that awful jump? The one you have to make to get to the third colossus? The jump that caused me to throw my controller more times than any other frustrating thing in any other video game ever? The jump that guaranteed I never went back to the game again?

I shall soon join the audience of nobody because bought a Wii U yesterday. Glad to know I can play a bunch of weird TurboGrafx-16 games. God, I hope they release a Cho Aniki game before going dark.

This is both because the Palicoes are stupid adorable, and I love adorable things, but also because my hands are kind of messed up from carpel tunnel, and I have some doubts about my ability to play Monster Hunter World without pain. But I bet I could handle the cat. I bet lots of people would like to play as a cat.…

That sounds like code for “we don’t want a female messing up our bro vibe.”

What I want is couch co-op play where my boyfriend can be the monster hunter and I can be the cat.

My boyfriend asked me a couple months ago, “Hey, why haven’t you ever considered streaming on Twitch?” This article is basically the answer to that question.

Ugh. Unsurprised.

I feel like many gamers have considered EA to be a Disney villain for quite some time now.

ARE there any women competing in OWL? I haven’t been following things very closely, but I haven’t seen any female team members in any promotional material as of yet.

I have the opposite problem. I start too many games at once. I get a new game and I want to try it, so at any one time I’m in the middle of ten or so games at once. This issue is exacerbated by the fact that I mostly play JRPGs, so those ten or so games take 40-100 hours to complete. Thus, it frequently takes a year…

When I say “JRPG,” I’m talking about turn-based RPGs from Japan, but the line just keeps getting fuzzier as more and more games incorporate RPG elements. Monster Hunter Stories is the JRPG-iest game in the franchise, with all the crafting and gear loadout elements paired with a simple but quite fun turn-based battle…
