Yeah, it's one of the best articles I've read in ages. I have never played a Lionhead game, and I have no particular opinion on them. Yet this article made me quite emotional by the end. People say that the games they produced promised big, but never delivered. Yet, it's also clear that the ideas behind the games…

Not actually played anything this week! Uh oh!
It's been a good week for news though. Pokemon Sun & Moon in November (5 days later in Europe than everywhere else, though. Sigh), and Monster Hunter Generations on July 15th. I can't wait for MHGen. I wasn't expecting it to be so soon! I will be moved to a different house…

It seems like a more general problem in games. Games often point out their violence, their linearity, or the other peculiarities inherent to many games. But having pointed them out, they continue to display those issues, sometimes even after claiming to have overcome them.
Obviously, there are good reasons for this -…

Yeah, I really want to see them distinguish themselves in their final forms. I mean they're cute and all, but Pokemon already has
1. A round owl
2. A dark-coloured kitten
3. A seal
I did like the nice little touches of personality in their animations though. Rowlet's head turn, Litten's licking its paw, and particularly…

Not been playing much… a bit busy right now. But I did see the Pokemon Sun & Moon news!

Any part where you're forced to do a dumb minigame with terrible controls to progress. For example, I've been playing both Twilight Princess HD and Mario Galaxy lately. Making me pilot a thing (demon bird, kayak, manta ray) is the worst, especially with motion controls. Nintendo, why do you put these in both your main…

And if you'd spoken it, they may have replied,
"I'm one of the few people you'll meet who's written more books than they've read."

Okay, okay, I'll try and catch up! I mean given the pace you're keeping, I'll end up a week behind, but watching some has to be better than watching none, I suppose.

Uh…
probably.
I'm gonna pretend it didn't, even if it did.

Oh, that de-adjectivized COD announcement is certainly a comment about a video game. Remove all the word polish and you're left with… well, hardly anything at all!
Stripping adjectives from all of that nonsense is quite revealing - I
think it would be interesting to try on lots of writing. Does the
writing actually…

Strange that there was an article on Persona just a day before Persona 5's new trailer was released and the release date announced. Samantha Nelson, do you know something we don't?!

Yeah, 4U seems much harder than 3U in this regard (probably because they fixed the WiFi). 3U I solo'd much of G-rank, though stuff like Lucent Nargacuga I found totally impossible. But 4U, I've tried to solo even some lower G-rank stuff and I just can't do it. Or perhaps 3U was also this hard, but I just had to put up…

I've been playing Mario Galaxy a bit. I'm getting used to them much quicker than I did for 3D World. Either I'm getting a bit more accustomed to platformers, or the game is a bit easier.
Anyway, I haven't got very far at all, but it's all been very enjoyable (apart from the motion-control bits like the Manta Ray.…

That's just Monster Hunter in a nutshell, isn't it?
Farming a monster so you can farm more monsters… :)

I believe MHX is supposed to be some sort of anniversary celebration of the MH series - hence why you return to the villages from the other games. So I guess I can see how it would be a "greatest hits" of a game.
How are the different hunting styles though? It seemed to me that what MHX lacks in quests and other…

Guess who didn't watch any episodes after catching up! I'll have to catch up again over the weekend, so I guess I may have to skip this Thoughts On.

Ah we had the same idea, lol. Taking sides is fine, but some of these have only one side in the first place!

Seems like quite a few of the writers have mistaken the question for "which fictional character do you really want to get beaten up".

Well, if you don't mind me asking questions, do you know anything about the joke he said was "the weirdest joke I've ever made" or something like that? In the "Foul Ball" episode.
Sorry I missed your joke, now I feel bad :( A sentient TV show makes me think it's some kind of technology-horror thing. I'm pretty sure a…

Well, I think this is the first time I'll be watching the show alongside you! I don't know how long I can keep up with you though - I was already behind and had to quickly catch up. If you continue the 5-a-day pace, I will have to watch 7 episodes today to keep up!
Anyway, my first impressions are that I rather like…
