Super Mario Odyssey is...so damn good. It’s so damn good! I’ve been playing for about an hour and a half, and I’m seriously in love with this thing. It’s funny, it’s zany, it’s really bouncy and weighty in a way that’s incredibly satisfying. There will be a lot of discussions in the future about the relationship…
Every Friday, A.V. Club staffers kick off our weekly open thread for the discussion of gaming plans and recent…
Agree on the “sorry, not sorry” paragraph coming off as disingenuous. Honestly I’m iffy on whether I think it’s an issue or not. But clearly more people than not dislike it and this doesn’t seem like a big enough issue to be worth sticking to your guns and purposely talking down to your audience instead of just…
I don’t know, ask the Greeks, buddy.
Thanks, that helps. I definitely agree that buying games like this at full price is what helps the industry keep at these worthwhile experiments. I surely would have bought it by now if they had a demo so I could be sure the actual gameplay meshed for me. The cerebral element is so exciting to me, but I worry that if…
Just finished World 3 in Mario + Rabbids. The final boss in that world was much easier than the previous two; I got through in one try. Unfortunately, Rabbid Peach didn’t make it. Sometimes you just need a sacrificial lamb
D&D Update
This is one of those weird weeks where this weekend is more of a looking ahead to next weekend, or looking back on what I was playing last weekend. So let’s start with something random.

It’s nice to read a certain validation of my own flying anxieties, Clayton, although honestly, the only part of it scarier than the flying to me is the airports themselves, all stuffed with people and an endless stream of CNN-blasting TVs. I’m fairly certain I saw more of our regrettable president’s face than you’d…
South Park: The Fractured But Whole is pretty swell. The humor and general silliness is all there from Stick of Truth. I’m still not sold on the new combat system, it’s okay and all, but I much preferred the Mario RPG stuff from Stick.
Well this is weird. My Daughter turns ten today. Her name is Lyra (yes, named after the protagonist of this book). But that’s not the weird part. My son’s name is Malcolm, apparently accidentally and pre-emptively named after this new character!
A decade before Lyra hides in the Retirement Room to spy on Lord Asriel, her birth coincides with dark forces…
This whole story is total bullshit. More left-wing lies from the lamestream media. Pence does NOT want to ‘hang all the gays’. He is a deeply religious man of unshakable conviction. He wants to stone them.
- “Ford and Debbie see Dog Day Afternoon during their first date; Ford then plays it to his Quantico students. Can we please call a moratorium on TV shows reminding us of the vastly superior movies we could be watching instead?”
Salutations~!
Regarding the site, I kind of feel like a comments section is what people make of it, and the Gameological mainstays are people who are more than accustomed to what it’s like on “traditional” gaming sites. I still remember reading IGN for the first time in 2007; they actually had a section just for ogling women. Even…
Last week, I mentioned I’ve been looking for something new to play in the time after I’ve beaten all but Route E of NieR: Automata but before Mario Odyssey drops (well, something other than Picross S, which is, you know, Picross, but not exactly upending the tea table). To be honest, I’m pretty awful at decisiveness,…
