+1 for Murder by Numbers. That was one of the most fun games I played in awhile, really well-written story that actually made me care about what was going to happen with the cutesy little robot!

That’s definitely one I want to get to at some point (maybe after getting over my current obsession, Hades).

If you want a little more story in your picross, try Murder by Numbers — it’s great!

No need to send help. Just accept the warm and loving embrace of the swamp that is Picross. There are many many versions of it on the Switch and 3DS in case you want to go deeper.

Well that headline was a word-by-word rollercoaster ride.

Tom Nook really is such an amazing character, and really highlights a lot of the appeal Animal Crossing has. For one thing, he’s a damn highway robber, and the drip-feed of improvements he makes to your house does provide an early goal, before you instead realize you’re weirdly invested in a love triangle between…

Thank you for defending the honor of that most beautiful and valiant creature, the “gamer.”

I think my Gameological pin just sighed.

I got a follower! It’s a spambot, sure, but it’s a SEXY spambot. And it’s here to stay, because I can’t figure out how to block users or report bullshit accounts.

I’ve been here for, i think like 7 years now? Something like that. I actually come to the AVClub because it’s the friendliest place on the internet. The Kinja changeover has been rough though, they’re backlogging so many disqus discussions, my dashboard is currently drowning in 7 or 8 year old discussions

It’s definitely not bad - I hope you don’t get the impression that folks here are criticizing you for your decision. It’s your hardware and your time, and you’ve got to spend your money and time on what brings you joy. I think folks here are just offering other titles that might be compelling to you, but it’s…

I’ve been pleasantly surprised to see that the Switch versions of some indie titles have been outselling the PS4 and Xbone, despite their larger install base. It makes me optimistic that the Switch will continue to be a solid destination for high quality indies.

Wow, nicely said and thanks for reminding me of this theme of Quiet, because I’m working on a historical treatise of games that use outside media to expand the narrative (basically, doing what Metroid Prime did, but through manuals, included novellas, and included items that tell stories “beyond the code”). I should…

Getting away from the discussion of Another Metroid 2 Remake, I’d like to talk about the game’s relative quiet. Anthony discussed this last year in regards to the wordier opening of Metroid Prime, and while I stand by PaganPoet, Jakeoti, Merlin, and DL with our disagreement on how it affected the game, I also can’t…

I did my best. One thing is certain. I’m rooting for you.

Which of them is the editor in charge of collating preview montages? I hope they brought her back.

Sweet Illusions is my favorite off Cold Roses. I know he’s kind of a jerk, but I am mad about Ryan Adams.

That’s easy:
