I'll be trying to wrap up Tokyo Mirage Sessions this weekend. I'll also be sticking to console games for the foreseeable future, as last night I accidentally smashed my laptop screen and popped it off one of its hinges.

I just finished the episode where Wiger tells everyone to watch the premiere of this, so I blame myself for not listening to Doughboys sooner.

I did what I always do before an expansion and reactivated my World of Warcraft account, because I am a weak, weak man. But honestly, I always love returning to WoW. I only ever play for a few months because the game's end-game grinding bores the fuck out of me, but playing through the new quests and zones is fun.

His problem is that he overnarrates the fuck out of everything.

I thought the real news was Wiger's apparent dislike of fries.

I'm not a fan of the secret ending. It's too much of a meta twist, whereas the actual ending is a glorious fifteen minutes of all hell breaking loose, and the image the game leaves you on is so evocative that it seems like a disservice to break the illusion of the universe they created.

Boo. She was fantastic, but nothing for Buscemi? He was heartbreaking.

Was Horace and Pete not eligible this year? That better be the reason it didn't get any nominations.

Nobody has won the Game of Thrones yet.

As predicted, Overwatch's competitive mode kicked my ass. I lost 7 of my 10 placement matches and ended up with a 37 rating. It may have been a bad idea to play them all at once, but I became perversely fascinated with how many games I was losing in a row. It feels like such a coin flip as to whether or not you get

Ugh, the mail tube. Everything else about that game is so amazing that I regularly forget I spent an hour or two wandering around in frustration trying to figure out how to keep that thing open, only to give up to find the solution online.

After 73 hours, Witcher 3 is finally complete (sans DLC), so I'll be spending this 4th of July weekend patriotically helping a bunch of Japanese high school kids become pop stars in Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE.

Good tips! I jacked up the number of lives after repeated deaths at the hands of the fire boss. Unless you're preternaturally gifted, it's going to take you a few attempts to figure out the boss patterns, which means you'll inevitably have to play the whole level over again if you're only going in with 3 lives. It's a

Other than a cheap Hotline Miami 2, there's nothing I want. Which, honestly, I'm also kind of thankful for. Maybe Steam is just looking out for all of our ridiculous backlogs.

I'll be spending the weekend being disappointed by Mighty No. 9.

I'll go with Monster Hunter Generations. I had so much fun with MH4U in its prime, but not too many people still play it, so I'm looking forward to jumping into hunts with people online without having to wait hours for a full group.

That's why I don't know if I want to wait. I tend to put RPGs down for a long time and then come back to them hopelessly lost, and having to spend an hour trying to re-familiarize myself with what the hell I'm supposed to be doing.

Yeah, I feel the need to gush about Overwatch whenever I talk about it. The AV Club review was spot-on - there's so much positivity in the game that it easily inspires enthusiasm. Plus, the title has kind of a snappy '80s action flick vibe to it. Overwatch!

That Persona 5 release is heartbreaking, but at least I get to spend all of Valentine's Day trying to date a bunch of Japanese high school kids.

I don't know how people can play these things with any modicum of skill. To have the knowledge and reflexes to pull off the combos and special moves in the right situations is completely beyond my comprehension. I've just accepted that I'll always be terrible at fighting games, but they're so much of a spectacle that
