they need to take the cash they’re printing from the Online and do what they should be — elevating the art of the narrative video game.

I don’t know about the online portion because I’ve never tried it, but if you skip the single player game you are definitely missing out.  

A lot of under 50, non-college educated, (mostly) white males voted for him.

Reading this, I felt not schadenfreude, not anger, but... sadness. Not for Trump, of course—no, fuck him and his minions with a hydraulic press, and then fire the pulpy leftovers into the sun—but for the country. There are so many profoundly stupid people in this country who have blindly followed him up to now and…

I initially started out as Zane, and around level 17 wanted to check the other characters out just to make sure I wasn’t missing out.

It really is staggering how much of a a disadvantage Zane is at compared to the competition after just a brief playabout on them (and taking Amara to the end). It’s not that “he’s bad”,…

The game not only cheated itself, but itself.

I found out the hard way that playing with other people is how you get good. I mistakenly thought that if I played against the AI enough then I would be good. But that would reinforce bad habits and then I’d get demolished by anyone with actual skill. I had to relearn everything.

I think the only NL team that can “blow it” in the playoffs is the Dodgers. Maybe the Braves.

Hmm...fuck the Cubs.

I have no idea how widespread these are outside the St. Louis area, but I love these things.

Screaming boss, you say?

Link to the past is still the best zelda game ever.

The most underrated band of the 90s is Failure. 

Most of these other bands are 90's elevator rock though. Your point stands, but no widespread appeal doesn’t mean they’re not underrated.

Appropros of nothing, and fearing the backlash for this, but I will put it out there anyway — Foo Fighters > Nirvana.

Oh dear. Bush to Live is a massive step sideways.

“I am outraged that this store recommendation engine is preferring games people can buy today over games that people can’t buy yet!” is exactly the sort of hatchet piece I’d expect from you, Nathan. Good job, good effort.

You explained it, but I still don’t know what you do. Trudge? Trudge with a spectral fetus? Trudge with a spectral fetus for the ‘Gram?

I dunno, we need someone making finely crafted weirdness.
