Could be that I just don’t get it yet either. I keep getting C/D ranks while the team has an S+ rank.

Apparently CW and/or HBO are in preliminary talks to potentially uncancel Swamp Thing. I haven’t subscribed to DC Universe (yet) but I’m tempted to do so in a bit so that I can binge both Doom Patrol and Swamp Thing.

Hand of Fate 2 is a huge improvement, but be ready for a much greater challenge.

I deeply wish that they would cut it out with these goofy ass digimony mechanics....”Z-crystals! Dynamaxing! Mega Evolutions!” It just gets so far away from what was charming about the franchise in the first place, namely, a sense of magical naturalism. Of going exploring when you were a kid, catching bugs and lizards.

Backlogged: Enchanted Edition

This weekend my best friend from college is being ordained a priest, so there won’t be much in the way of gaming! It will be a fairly packed weekend. Come Monday I will resume my play-through of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Soon as I saw it on Game Pass I knew I had to replay it. And the game still holds up…

First of all, note that today (Friday) is the last day to vote for our 65th edition of the Game Revue Club in ye olde Gameological group over on Steam. Our nominees are a pretty fun and varied batch: Bayonetta, Celeste, Mass Effect: Andromeda, Subnautica, and Unavowed. Come cast your vote, it’s an open group and we’d…

Salutations~!

Weird, that did nothing for me. Felt like a random Dreamworks movie than a Pixar movie—no offense to Dreamworks.

AV Club wants me to be obsessed with Billie Eilish

You definitely can, I think there's a lot of advice out there on how to be sensible with wedding planning and still achieve a good time for everyone involved 

Pro tip: go real cheap on the wedding and use the money saved for an awesome honeymoon or vacation or something. Think about what else you can do with 10k or whatever

Yeah, I felt the same about Spidey. Especially the random crime missions -- I think I actually would have walked away with a better opinion of the game if there were at least 50% less of those.  The repetition drags down the memory of the less. Developers really need to learn that ‘less is more’.

Spider-Man is a game which suffers some from the modern AAA approach- they have to put in EVERYTHING from crafting to stealth missions to collectibles to very involved combat and while those things aren’t bad in and of themselves, it feels kinda regimented and overstuffed. Still, they got the webslinging down. 

Congratulations on…*scans post for relevant accomplishments*…Sticking with Sea Of Thieves! 

Morning all! It’s pretty rare for me to be up this early, but considering the recent development in my life that is the birth of my daughter I figured I’d wake up a bit earlier to catch this commenting train. Last Friday we welcomed her into the world, and words kind of fail to capture how much life is different now…

I believe it was the house making part.

Now I’m just reminiscing about all the lesser classic Maxis games, namely SimIsle. To destroy an island ecosystem to build a bizarrely placed budget automobile assembly plant… I miss it.

Greetings, Fellowship of the WAYPTW thread, a truncated gaming week thanks to a combination of NHL playoffs, Passover, and project shit hitting the fan at work meant I only really got one game in

I like but don’t love The Sexy Brutale, mostly because most of the puzzles are a little too simplistic. (I dig the one with the singer, though.) Tequila Works went on to do Invisible Hours, which I’ve ranted about here and elsewhere, though, so I’m definitely a fan. I was snarky about it in the Newswire about its…
