This song takes me back to browsing Geocities websites and listening to MIDI files because that was the closest I was going to get to any kind of new information about Pokemon and YouTube was still six or seven years from being invented. Those were good times...listening to strange, digitized anime songs from Read more

I also miss my avatar. He looked like a redneck, but I loved him all the same. Read more

Hey, cool, as soon as the game footage starts, the sound gets completely fucked. I can dig it. That’s a pretty wild angle. Read more

Regardless of whatever this game’s merits may be, I just have to say, Rabbids are fucking grotesque, and always have been. The only comparison I’ve ever been able to think of is Minions, which is ironic since Minions postdate rabbids by 4 years. But they’re a nothing of a character, hideous to look at, annoying by Read more

It would be just my luck to get into Overwatch a week before Double XP weekend, and for that weekend to be the same as Bonnaroo weekend. Oh well. I’m playing Overwatch in spirit. Read more

I can’t shake the feeling that he sounds like a spoiled kid who feels entitled to being treated some way or another by Nintendo. They’ve made big strides in making the game more competition-friendly with the Wii U edition, but Smash was never marketed as a hardcore fighter the way Street Fighter is and I don’t think Read more

Whenever I read about a flying car, I flash back to an old AOL news article at the start of the last decade, predicting the top 10 tech things that were going to happen by 2010. Of course they said GM had a flying car that was expected to be out by then. And that’s all for this comment. They thought the future was Read more

Souls. Second summer for that. I’m going to help a friend coop through DS3, I’m going to finish vanilla DS2 for the first time (beat Scholar last summer), try to finish a new run on DS1, finish Demon’s Souls and Bloodborne for the first time. That and Overwatch. I’ve finally gotten into that. Read more

Guess you can’t blame them for trying, anyway. When only a small handful of games do something and receive near universal praise, some developers have to take notice and try jumping on the bandwagon. That has been a huge thing for action RPGs 2D and 3D in the wake of Dark Souls’ success. And given that there are so Read more

This is the most brilliantly written obituary I’ve ever read. Read more

Much as the truth of this article title squicks me out, I’ve got to say, the idea of classes with slightly different, basically balanced abilities that moderately ease without breaking the difficulty of the game is a shockingly good idea that could actually add a little flavor to what, to me, looks like yet another Read more

I wasn’t considering this game. I just wanted to know if DC had passed up another opportunity to put Cap in the public consciousness in advance of this movie of his that’s supposedly coming out but all indicators suggest is probably being quietly abandoned. Read more

Worse, it’s not Ms. Marvel but Marvel’s Captain Marvel, a naming situation that turns my stomach :( I’m truly never going to forgive them for stealing that name. There was absolutely no reason to do so other than greedy opportunism. Read more

God damn it. Well, now I know. I never finished the first game because I don’t care for the MK fighting engine. Thanks for the heads-up at any rate :( Read more

So is Shazam / Captain Marvel in this game or what? Because if they put Black Adam in and are skipping Cap, that’s just one more log on DC’s apparent Shazam bonfire. in which case I’m about to lose my shit. They announce a movie, then give him two incredible books (Convergence: Shazam and Thunderworld), then announce Read more
