“We’ve got $20B to blow, fuck it, just buy everything.”

I guess either he or his manager decided that the top 40 music industry is just so terrible that just having a good voice isn’t enough to get you anywhere, you need a gimmick.  And they were probably right.

The remaster has some options to cut down the pain, but I will also do that, thanks.

But at least now he’s super good at pinball.

I didn’t get very far into FF8 either because I hated the characters and I couldn’t get over that and the tedium of the magic draw system.

Yeah, I hate boss fights. Okay, if I know in going the game is about the boss fights, like Dark Souls or Shadow of the Colossus then I’m calibrated and okay with it.

Wow, this is amazing.  He cosplays way better than he musics.

Some games it is - Xenogears without the music? NFW. But in a lot of games it’s just phoning it in. I always start with the music on, and if it’s ‘okay, this is a low-rent overwrought John Williams wannabe’, or otherwise too annoying I turn it off and don’t feel I’m missing much.  It’s not setting the atmosphere, it’s…

You just made Jeremy Soule cry. Okay, he’s already crying for other reasons.  But yes.

There’s no shame in just turning off the music and adding your own. I do it all the time, either because I dislike the music or, usually, because I’m sick of the music after 40 hours of it. Only the stupidest of stupid terrible mcdoodyface games don’t let you turn off the music separately from the main sounds.

This is just how China rolls, right down to sticking a stupid name on it. I’m sure Sina Games doesn’t even think there’s anything wrong with what they did, like asking an American if he’s really in such constant fear that he needs to carry a handgun. Hadn’t even crossed his mind.

There’s difficulty, then there’s just wasting your time. Celeste is rock hard, like Super Meat Boy, but it doesn’t matter because you can get instantly back in the game. You want to. You need to.

On one hand I’m skeptical, since this looks like investors wearing the dead skin mask of Telltale like Titus and ‘Interplay’, or Infogrames and ‘Atari’.

On the other hand, old Telltale was a complete mess with terrible management - unable to shed their crappy old engine because they were too busy churning out bad…

Wearing Telltale’s dead skin mask.

This should really be your Back of the Box Quote, even if the current one is funnier.

This sounds like $5 on sale so I don’t feel guilty when I get tired and stop.

The real monster was you all along!

Yep, this is the ‘genuine’ WoW launch experience.

This has a real Double Fine vibe (Costume Quest), but on checking out the page I see it’s actually the guy who made Tearaway.  I’m sold!

Holy shit.
