How dare they have fun! With a song they like!

Say what you will about the Ghostbusters II soundtrack, but Spirit is the greatest. Definitely the second-best Ghostbusters-related song.

These bidding wars are making Yahoo thirsty!

Alright this is pretty fantastic.

Discussions about sex and nudity in games are like being stuck in that "What's wrong with being sexy?" conversation from Spinal Tap, so yes, thank you. Sexuality is fine for games for tackle, but an overwhelming majority of the time it's just "Wow boobs girls heeheehee." And pointing out that that's unnecessary is…

I've been there. It hits me worst when it's a game that has some grind-y or repetitive aspects and you lose a big chunk of that progress. Take Roundabout, which, for the record, is just terrific. I had completed a bunch of difficult challenges and found one of the last remaining hidden items one night, but because of…

Please update us on Cities! I'm looking for a good city builder, but I've just been burned so many times, especially by games that start with "Cities" (mostly of the XL variety).

It sounds like it'd be much more trouble than it's worth to use that feature that way, since in-game icons probably won't correspond correctly and you'd have to reconfigure it for every game. The general accessibility stuff honestly sounds more interesting; I can't believe no console has implemented basic functions…

"Let's see what was the last answer on the board…"
*ding*
"Tolerability Index!"

Read the comments just for a PIZZA HOUSE reference, was not disappointed.

Vaguely sexual?

I have not… but now I want to!

You are one age
Going on another age
What's going to happen next?

Oh wow, I love it. I'd made a comment about this a few weeks ago, and when someone mentioned XCOM, I was really confused because I didn't think it was a board game. But lo! As a fan of high-pressure cooperative games and assigned roles (so, Forbidden Island really), that game looks like it scratches all my particular…

I know they're not what they were in their prime, but this is still sad news.

"George R. R. Martin, author of the Game of Thrones books, kills many of his characters and writes slowly. Filter this information through a piece of currently relevant pop culture."

I think they accidentally turned on YouTube's auto-stabilization. Baaaaarf

I read this comment so now I don't need to listen to music.

You nailed it. Like a lot of niche game genres, the big movers in horror are now independent developers rather than giant studios. Many of the examples people are mentioning here – Outlast, Amnesia, Five Nights at Freddy's, the infinite Slender games – are made by small teams that can afford to be a little…

It's so hard to nail that enjoyably unpleasant atmosphere in games. If handled poorly, being immersed in an ambiance of hostility and discomfort for a prolonged period of time can just foment actual hostility and discomfort. I definitely understand why people dislike watching dark prestige television shows for that…
