While this is some bullshit, I also feel like I won’t notice. I have Control on Xbox One S, and the load times and framerate seizures eventually made me stop playing. I really like it, but I’m just waiting to play it on a system that can actually, you know, run it.

I continue to maintain that the “Moon” theme from Ducktales is a miracle of gaming music.

So what you’re saying is that AOL Instant Messenger lived long enough to become the villain?

I’m really more concerned with the character designs in that header image.

I take some solace in the fact that nothing I’ve seen or read about this game looks good, so I have absolutely no inclination to play it. That said, this situation is terrible, especially since PS5 players are getting a new Spider-Man game near launch.

The first line of this article made me assume it was about Star Citizen.

Correct. BG&E is one of my favorite games!

$200 bones is rough, but that is one gorgeous piece of hardware.

I think including a human in Star Fox would lead to more questions than anything, but it might also open up gigantic worldbuilding opportunities.

It’s a great game.

I agree with others that this article’s definition of “platformer” is a little hazy but in that spirit, here are my Top 3:

And a choir of angels descended, singing hallelujah!

I’m weirdly excited about the cicadas making noise in the game; we don’t have cicadas in Alaska and every time I go to the lower 48 in the summer and hear them, I enjoy it.

I don’t have much love for ARMS, but I’m super interested to see how Min-Min plays in a Smash setting.

Whoops, typo on my part. Thanks for the correction!

It’s endlessly interesting to me that, because Congress has abdicated its duties and the President is a walking TOS violation, corporations are stepping in. I believe several fairly high-profile advertisers suspended their ad campaigns on FB recently, which immediately prompted Zuckerberg to say they’d start…

That “magic loogie” bit in Seinfeld is one of the great bits of that show.

I bought Control for my Xbox One S and played pretty far into it before becoming increasingly frustrated with the godawful load times and persistent framerate drops. This is a great game, but clearly not designed for the vanilla Xbox One consoles. Thus, I stopped, and am awaiting the Xbox Series X so I can play it the…

Weird thing is, I can get behind the redesigns for Leon, Claire, and Jill in the REmakes, but changing the main characters so radically in the mainline series is so weird to me.
