Twilight Princess HD is so good. They didn't get too much praise, but the team doing the remastering really hit a home run on managing to emphasize the other-worldliness while still making the textures far more crisp. Visuals aside, it's a fantastic game, particularly if you enjoy the puzzle-solving and combat…

Oh yeah, that is what I'm thinking of. It may well not have been an homage, now that you mention it. I just made that connection on my own.

Have you played Undertale? Their homage to the FFVI opera house scene was quite endearing, and the game as a whole has the same emotional heft as FFVI. I'd recommend it!

Oh good. That problem ought to work itself out, then.

What breed of dog? Because I can tell you, having in late 2015 obtained a young Yorkshire Terrier, that darned problem is surprisingly hard to resolve, haha. Such are the dangers of a tiny digestive tract, I suppose.

I don't have any games that I'm especially enthusiastic about right now, unfortunately.

Hey, I won't have you talking about Judds that way - Judd the Cat (Splatoon) is a treasure!

This is one of the central puzzles and unknowns of the modern geopolitical order. I always wonder, myself (though we may not have to wonder much longer).

I've been trying to pick up the slack for you. Those are some big shoes to fill!

The DC one was invigorating. It's good that the conversation was largely about keeping momentum going, and most people I met there had concrete activities to engage in once they got home, as do I. I lost my first Facebook friend today, who told me (quite civilly, and I bear him no ill will) that he uses Facebook as…

It's good to see them going this route, rather than Konami's method (getting out of the biz, largely) or Square-Enix's method (doubling down on the crazy).

I think the biggest problem with this was in Resident Evil 2/3, where even police stations and factories had complex travel systems. I'd agree with your assessment that elsewhere, particularly REmake, Zero and 4, made much more sense (inasmuch as any explanation beyond "it's a game" can make sense).

I'll have to check out the demo, because I could easily see this being my experience. On the other hand, that didn't happen to me with Amnesia, so you never know.

One aspect that another reviewer highlighted (apologies for my infidelity!) was that the turning mechanic was slowed down from most first person titles. This is likely helpful to the VR experience, but it had the additional virtue of making the act of turning suspenseful; there was a constant tension for that player…

That's how I played it, which made me somewhat baffled years later by its poor reputation. Once I found out that playing solo was a slog, it all came together.

I think the Dark Souls 3 is the first one where I've managed to actually beat all of the bosses, including the optional ones.

That's a cool way to look at the games, and their key mechanic of traveling through areas that you've already visited. Hadn't thought about it that way before!

You kind of have to wonder how many people attending the rally today were bolstered in part by Trump's verbal assault on such a beloved national figure last week (during MLK weekend, of course). Given that the numbers that attended were in such excess of what was anticipated, I suspect a fair number of people joined…

It was invigorating. Great show of solidarity, unmarred (as far as I know) by any of the anarchist nonsense from yesterday. A good showing for what the administration can expect to see if it tries to implement the bigoted policies outlined on the campaign trail.

I had thought this too, but apparently the Wii U launched with New Super Mario Brothers U.
