With the New Year, I hope I can get back into some of my better, older habits. Like many, the holidays become a time where it is very easy to slip into bad habits. Pokemon and Control are on the docket for games this weekend. I just cleared the ice gym in Pokemon, as I plod along. In Control, I just had the (maybe…

The trailer for MGSV felt like it was so much more than just a trailer. It totally was inline with what Kojima does, but I felt like there was a representation of what the game actually was about, in a much longer format than what you usually get. If an average game trailer is as to a movie trailer, a Kojima trailer…

Traveling this weekend, so not much for games. Maybe I'll get some pokemon shield going. Been loving control so far though

At least they gave you a phenomenal movie to watch.

I’ve actually tried this on a whim once. I only made it through the first part of the first level though. It is not as hard to wrap your head around two different relatively stable viewpoints one at a time as you would think it would be, but that is really only the beginning. Juggling your ammo, memorizing enemy and…

Still trying to move along with things after last weekend. I haven’t gotten a chance to play many games for long this week, just a bit of Pokemon. I definitely am finding it frustrating that there aren’t a lot of people looking for Max Raids anymore, or that they set up link codes. I’d like to get a Gigantimax…

Was Ray Park the Zabrak Cara was wrestling with?

I'll admit, I kind of like them except for that writing on the inside. I get kind of a sonic the hedgehog vibe. The character, not the character's shoes.

Sorry, I'm Shep Alistair's mom. I'm just waiting over here for my son to crowdsource his Christmas list.

Wish I was. It feels like the sort of that that is required.

I think the Gamer(s) of the Year this year should go to the writers and staff of Kotaku and Stephen Totilio i specifically. There have been so many amazing pieces this year. Dives into DnD, exposing toxic workplaces, retrospectives on why launches went wrong, and so many other pieces that I can’t recall while trying…

Players said they liked big butts and they could not lie, but Naoki Yoshida did deny.

If a ninji represents ghost run data, it should be translucent.

I’ve had a pretty traumatic death in the family this week, and we are going to be dealing with the fallout of that for a bit. Really haven’t had time for games. I played a bit of King of Cards, and that was really fun. I thought it was supposed to be the sequel instead of another prequel. I still want to hold out hope…

““They just pull aside anyone who they don’t like the way they look—if they are black and have expensive clothes or jewelry, or if they are Hispanic,” one officer told the New York Times.”

I loved the subversion of The Last Jedi. I loved the headfake with Snoke. The combined Rey/Kylo fight was great Star Wars choreography. Luke as a burned out hippie who lived to see everything he dedicated himself to be twisted back on itself is a logical outcome that was have real world examples of. Saying Rey’s…

I definitely save scummed this quest to see every interaction and option.

Hell yeah Ethan. Im super jazzed about the expansion and can’t wait for it. How does it compare in scope so far? I felt like Plague of Shadows was larger than Specter of Torment, gameplay wise.

Just because someone didn't work on the previous entries doesn't mean they don't understand the inner workings. The inverse is true as well. Just because someone did work on the previous entries doesn't mean that they have good ideas for moving it forward.

This is helpful when you are working with newer parts in a modern time. In years past, maybe not so much.
