Apologies, I am quite drunk as I write this, but I must give credit to Nier and Nier: Automata. The former I feel more comfortable talking about; it’s a Taro ending through and through, that is simultaneously uplifting and extremely depressing. It asks of you a sacrifice to save a character you’ve known for most of…

Bastion is a strong game across the board. Both it and Transistor(can’t speak for Pyre, haven’t played it yet) showcase a command of the medium’s capacity for inventive storytelling that we don’t see nearly enough, made all the more impressive for also being structurally competent games with good gameplay on top of…
I see what you’re saying now. Fair enough.
I hear what you’re saying, but Fallout 3 is ultimately a game about government overreach, racial and cultural purity, and the doomed nature of failing to be adaptable to a changing world. Do you choose to kill hundreds, possibly thousands of innocent people in order to eliminate the menace of mutants and ferals so…
If they wanted to avoid these accusations, they would have left well enough alone and let people draw their own conclusions through sparse storytelling about the potential detrimental effects of giving sleeper agents of the central government the power to act as judge, jury and executioner, and painting the common…
Call of Duty seems to be more firmly in the “war is complicated and messy and ugly” camp than the “oorah let’s kill us some ragheads” camp(at least with Modern Warfare which is a decent political thriller at its core), but I do see your point. I personally think that EA is more guilty of that, as they are more about…
I would say I remember that, but that’s still an ongoing thing, and blessedly it’s become more common to see the immediate response be “/pol/ is leaking again”, rather than “so much for the tolerant left”. I do have to credit Pete Hines with being a blatant and hysterical troll against that group with his firm…
Ah, sorry, I meant this attack at Annapolis, the one at De Telegraaf, and the one at Nieuwe Revu, making 3. My apologies.
This whole lineup continues to evoke the same reaction from me:
Fascinating stuff. It’s good to see the K-pop fandom from a different lens, my interactions with that community on Tumblr(which is of course teeming with excitable LGBT+ youths) have been unnerving to say the least.
Wait, a third one? I remember seeing the one about the guy in Amsterdam launching a rocket at an office overnight.
I have some measure of faith that Avellone can craft a compelling narrative again. I remember seeing the immediate and long-term effects of some of my choices on the various regions I got involved in in New Vegas, and I would like to think that he can expand on that. If he can bring the level of truly thoughtful…
Oh, yes please.
I think the problem we’re facing is that no one seems to consider highbrow as an option. Animation has to be either fun for all ages or total filth with little in-between, a problem that even the more expansive Japanese industry wrestles with, as too often the shows(especially original content) they produce seem to go…
Man, I wish. It’s frustrating because animation is an incredible medium that we can do a lot of things with, including very adult oriented projects, but making an animated film that’s geared towards adults without just being ‘lol titties and gore are we MATURE’ feels a long way off.
Whatever state England is in, it was bad enough that Tenpenny decided it was worth traversing a radioactive ocean and traveling into the DC wasteland to make a home for himself rather than stay there.
It’s true. I had an ‘04 Pontiac Grand Am, bright red. By all accounts a terrible parts bin car. FWD, underpowered engine, one or more window drives would break at least once a year, the dash was peeling up even with good sun prevention in place, and the radiator leaked, but not enough to justify replacing it. But it…
Did 3 get a second expansion? Must have slipped past me. Point still stands that I can deal with good chunks of game-expanding content well spaced out, but microtransactions and lootboxes will ensure that I never give them a cent for it.
Activision needs to keep their grubby little mitts off of that game. I can live with the current From model of base game plus one big DLC, but nickel and diming it to death will keep me from a purchase.
