I'm happy about it, but if there was one other living songwriter to whom the award should go, it would definitely be Leonard Cohen. We're in agreement on that :)

I'd actually go with Vincent Price + Charlie Chaplin, but that's mostly based on his stage 'moves.'

If you're on Steam, you need to opt into an "experimental patch" that just adds in the FPS alteration as an option in the menu. Should be more info here: http://steamcommunity.com/g…. Not sure if these details apply to other game clients.

For me, while I find that maddening, it's people unwilling / unable to operate the lock mechanism that drives me nuts. I had someone get annoyed with me once for walking in on them, but that's what the lock is for! Are there people that knock on every stall they enter?

That's awesome! Your posts are consistently the only thing I've found compelling about Fallout 4.

Cool! I'm having a hard time with Hyper Light Drifter. On the one hand, it's one of the prettiest games I've ever played and the mechanics are tight as hell. On the other hand, I am driven a bit mad by the willfully opaque communication (no text) and weirdly find myself with a mild headache each time I play. What's…

I just started Sunless Sea about a month ago. I'm not committed to it, but it's an engaging time when I'm playing.

As a rather committed pro-life Catholic, we pretty much have no good choices on that issue in this election. I know Trump is preaching that angle, but his background doesn't reflect it and, given the rest of his character, I assume it's either a lie or something he has no intent of following through with. And even if…

I'll try it! Have you sampled the one by Evolution? I've been very happy with that purchase.

You know, I'm tempted to get rid of cable every once in a while. Now that you mention it, I'm thinking of doing it right now. I actually only ever watch Game of Thrones, John Oliver, and Devious Maids. Two of those are on HBO and the remaining one has been cancelled, so what the hell am I doing?

Finally got to read your article. Very nice stuff, particularly for me as I'm something of a newbie to the series. I've enjoyed the aesthetic, but had only played Sticker Star for any significant period of time before recently playing Thousand Year Door and Color Splash. Ending on a pun was a good call too!

Doing Colossi fights from the perspective of the Colossi is a really beautiful mechanic that I wish had been included in the final game, though it's pretty much impossible to figure out how it would work.

Fog is one of the most fascinating aspects of preserving and emulating early 3D games on later hardware. How much fog contributes to the atmosphere and how much is just a relic of draw distance limitation? Like the greatest work in any medium, designers of the best 3D games tended to use fog as an aesthetic choice,…

Holy crap, I hadn't even considered the holding on mechanic. That's awesome.

Good call - that's a useful interpretation.

nice!

Favorited that website! I have a very limited pool of websites that I visit, and I'm always looking for something new - typically I just wait for @Merlin The Tuna's "Valuable Veribage" section of Keyboard Geniuses to point me in the right direction.

Normally I'm not much for exclusionary communities, but I think staying free of entitled man-children is a pretty unimpeachable goal.

Agreed. It seems like a heck of a time commitment to even compile Keyboard Geniuses - the mind boggles at writers being expected to comb the comment sections of the site more generally.

Gameological remains, in my limited experience, the best game-related writing currently available.
