Beavers, my solicitor, ever with a keen eye for un-scrupulous money-making ventures, says, much to my astonishment, that great shoals of half-wits and degenerates stay up ‘round the clock discussing nickel-odeon pictures and iconoscopic serials and other third-rate enter-tainments. Not only do they choose to fritter…

I’ve been reading this site since I was around 13. I’m now 22. Lurked for a lot of it, but I feel like I’ve grown with the AV Club. Many of my favorite shows and movies, from my most formative years and beyond, I watched because of articles or recommendations from the commentariat.

This is the kind of thing that happens when a large corporation buys a niche community, and is unprepared for what happens when you someone eat it.

I’m sorry to hear about this. I’m not as into the AV Club as I used to be, but finding it was a huge moment for me as a pop culture consumer. There pretty much weren’t any critics or entertainment reporters left in my local media market, but the AV Club was a place where people gathered to seriously think (and argue,…

Maybe that was the way you played the game, but it would certainly destroy any enjoyment you might have in the experience. Guards don’t spawn infinitely, there’s just a lot of them and only one of you, which is the whole point of the story. You are at a distinct disadvantage as a single untrained miner taking on an…

I still use the Wii U for Wii Fit... Don’t laugh - it’s kept off 60 pounds since the original Wii days for me.

“I do think it needed another 5 years for the technology to catch up with the vision.”

Holy shit thanks for pointing out the trailer, that gave me a much-needed mid-afternoon laugh ^_^

So much better than it’s sequel that stuck you in freaking tunnels for most off the game! Sure you could break stuff but it didn’t really matter like Guerrilla.

Lots of good games this month.

It really is great. The destruction is so fun on its own, but another big thing for me was how it integrated all the wanton destruction of corporate property you’d be doing anyway—because if there’s anything people love to do in chaotic sandboxes, it’s wreak havoc and Guerrilla made that such a delight—into your…

I finished Cultist Simulator. I figure I’ll try and go back to play with a different cult once some extra content or DLC has been added, but I’ve seen enough for the moment.

I’m going to try to finish off Hellblade this weekend. I haven’t enjoyed the experience, and I just want it to be over with. Hopefully that gives me a chance to sink my teeth into Mike Bithell’s Circular games, which I’ve been wanting to play for a while.

Well, World Cup first - Argentina is playing France and we’re all trying hard not to BELIEVE!!! because it’d be stupid to believe but they did win against Nigeria and and. Our relationship with this team continues to be super strange.

Bloodborne Bloodborne Bloodborne. Still joyfully progressing through this game. Last night I got through the Upper Cathedral Ward and beat Ebrietas after about an hour and a half of dying constantly. She’s the cheapest of the bosses I’ve encountered so far. I beat her, but it was purely because the RNG of her attacks…

The PC is built. Finally. It is finished. Everything has been resolved, but it wouldn’t be a PBnJustice PC update without one exception. My wireless mouse is out of batteries and there is not a single AAA in the house. On the bright side, I can now navigate with a keyboard like a boss. I plan on taking full…

Picked up X Com 2 while it’s still one of the PSPlus free games. I’ve only played a couple of missions but it’s pretty good so far, everything I liked about the first seems to be there. I was wary of the “timed missions” element but the first one wasn’t too much of a problem. Relatively speaking, of course, I still…

Given what’s gone on lately, this is a good time to fight Nazis.

Shadow of War continues to be my go to. I am going to have to balance my style of play and not just recruit every single commander (because my equipment gets stale). I had a weird moment last night where I had a mission to help one of my commanders fight an enemy commander. The mission started, and there was an ambush…

With Hollow Knight wrapped up, I'm moving into Dark Souls Remastered. Boy, it's a lot easier when you can summon experts to help you out.
