I’ve been saying this for years. The only way to make Duke work anymore without changing the character is to make fun of him (or go back to pre-3D Duke, I guess).

i think the trick is to do it like the brady bunch movie - the world has passed him by but he’s still living like it’s the x-treme 90s. 

Far Cry 6.

But at what time will he toke? I MUST KNOW!

I hear some people call him the Space Cowboy

This one is going to be about a man who some people call Maurice. He speaks of the Pompatus of Love, and plays his music in the sun. I think it will star Matthew Modine.

No, his death is not “just as bad” as you forming a negative opinion about him. Dear god. 

God damn you to Hell

The Stranger of Paradise demo sure feels like the most tedious tutorial I’ve ever played. I’m sure it’s not, but it feels that way. Weirdest decision — animating the camp dialogues. In Nioh, you just got a little dialogue box to read and a portrait. Simple. In Stranger of Paradise, if you want to talk to someone, you…

Stopped just before the final boss of Earthbound. I’m glad I’m covering up that hole in my gaming career, but I don’t think I’ll ever go back to it after I’m done. Maybe getting overpowered (I got the Sword of Kings, and I actually did a lot of grinding before realising I was in the wrong place for grinding for the…

I really want to play this but I am afraid it will remind me of my (as I see it now) sad early teenage years with mostly only online friends.

I’m playing a lot of Elden Ring and Dying light 2, maybe a little Total War Warhammer 3 with friend, and a little “Dark souls the boardgame” too.

Todd In The Shadows has an excellent video on this album that is worth checking out:

Man would it be fun to punch this guy just once.

This weekend is for online hangout-type games like Gartic Phone and Jackbox.

I can’t believe KoF is still cranking out titles. Back in the SF2 arcade heyday we all turned our noses up to the SNK fighters. Maybe a game of Samurai Showdown if MK2 & SF2 were occupied. Must be something there to make 15 (!) installments.

I’ve been playing a lot of Paradise Killer after scratching the surface of it a while ago. I’m now fully into the mystery here- it’s fun to explore the environment even if sometimes it feels a bit jank, and the character interactions are great. Even the overall backstory is starting to make sense. Love this game’s…

For example, when I reviewed Injustice 2 years ago, I declined to say much of anything about the mechanics, in favor of highlighting the fun of putting Batman in different outfits.

I think the last fighting game I tried was Mortal Kombat 10. I bought it with the notion that it was somehow anything like the last fighting game I’d played before that, which was Mortal Kombat 3 (and that I was anything like the kid I used to be at that age). I learned that day that fighting games are not just not my…

I just picked up Escape Simulator yesterday and ran through the tutorial with my Wednesday night online co-op partner, having just helped her platinum Operation Tango. The tutorial really was baby mode, dropping you into a nursery with a crib and primary-colored toys to learn the ropes. I don’t know that I really have…
