I’ve watched enough anime to know that the correct answer is...18. All of them are 18, regardless of how improbable that seems, and we will work that fact into precisely one line of dialog just so there’s no confusion about how 18 they are.

This looks stupid. I love it.

Anyone with experience with both titles: is it ok to jump into Axiom Verge 2 without having played the first one? Or will I be lost?

I’m right there with you. After years of Kotaku and everyone else extolling the virtues of this game, and many assurances that “sure, you can just jump in at the #3 entry in the series, no problem” I gave it a try. After about 2.5 hours I had to admit that it just wasn’t working for me.

HELL YES Tokyo Godfathers. It’s been a Christmas season tradition of mine to watch this movie during the timeframe when it occurs: between Christmas Eve and New Year’s day. This time of the year is busy but a little over a week gives me time enough to fit it in there somewhere.

I was aware of Kate Bush’s resurgence in popularity due to Stranger Things & my favorite public radio station giving the song significant airplay. The rest were blissfully unknown to me.

Welcome to getting older, where “I guess I was sleeping in a weird position” can give you searing, unbearable pain that lasts more than a day.

I’d be more worried if a shakedown of a random citizen yielded anything OTHER than human teeth. Like, human teeth have a couple of reasonings behind them - maybe you kept one of your kid’s baby teeth as a memento, perhaps you’re a dentist, or it could just mean the set in your own dumb head.

I don’t have words to describe how uncomfortable I feel looking at this collage, so I’ll just go with the internet’s Ol’ Reliable: thanks I hate it

Once again Futurama has laid the groundwork for actual history.

Yes, but would you pain for a new killpainer? (Editor’s note: ???)

The first River City Girls was fantastic. When I saw that this one dropped on Dec 15 I thought I might be able to hold out on getting it until I worked through some of my pile of shame and use it to reward myself. Now I’m wavering...

A fitting punishment for the AI: an all-Rob Liefeld diet. I like it.

I hit the wall over the weekend and passed the game along to my nephew. I had completed all the post-game content, caught my Charizard in the 7-star raids, and was Masuda-breeding it. I was 150-ish eggs into trying to hatch a shiny Charmander when I looked at what I’d been spending my last 3 hours doing, and said you…

Boy it’s a great time if you’re into isekai shows. I mean I ain’t, but I’m sure plenty of folks are.

13. Everyone dressed nicely at The Game Awards!

The only appreciable difference I can see is that these are far more blatant in their ego-stroking, and while steaks and water might have required some kind of infrastructure to produce an actual physical product, an NFT is a digital nothingburger, of which you can produce & sell amounts limited only by the suckers…

What a load of shit.
