When the Steam store is just a glorified website that is a pain in the ass to navigate and doesn’t remember your position after you Back Button your way through several pages to get back to a list of games you were digging through. And also it loads in like you’re on some old DSL or something. Read more

My initial reaction as a PC-playing, 4K TV-owning asshole was “720p on TV!? OH, BOTHER! OH, POSH! MY WORD, THE SHEER UGLINESS OF IT ALL, I DO DECLARE!” And then, after sitting on it all day, I realized that was pretty silly. I’ve loved games at every step on the graphical chain from Pong to (your favorite modern… Read more

We might be onto something here. Quickly! To the Contact Us page of the official website! Read more

…why does it have glasses? Read more

So are we just giving up on the virtual console, then? Nintendo and third parties all seem pretty content to lob completely random old stuff at us with no VC required. Read more

It’s strange that they’re doing bundles during the first year when people still can’t even find the console. Isn’t it? It feels strange. Read more

This is among the saddest songs I’ve ever heard. I guess I don’t know for a fact what it’s about but it seems to be a love letter from the manipulative partner that is an abused substance to the person who can’t put it down, and having struggled plenty with alcohol myself, the song just makes me feel really raw and… Read more

This is the second voice acting piece I’ve seen on the AV Club in like a week. I love you people so much. Read more

It’s not the Capcom of old. The fugly art is a pretty blatant reminder of that. Whether the F2P model is justified or not, I just think it’s important to remember that with few exceptions Capcom has been stepping in shit for the last several years. They used to be my favorite developer / publisher. In the mid 2000s… Read more

How in tact can they be kept on a platform without buttons? I’m recalling when the App Store first launched and basics like Tetris just didn’t feel right. PF, if one is any good at it, requires a lot of speed and quick inputs and I just can’t see myself making it happen on a touch screen. Read more

Make good movies and people will see them. Any time of the year. The whole “explosions and effects” shit brought people in en masse back in the day because the most you had to go on for movie reviews were tv and newspaper editorials that you probably wouldn’t see in time to affect your opinion if you saw them at all.… Read more

That’s the one for me. The music is perfect, the background charming, and as my first rainbow road (I admit my opinion is colored entirely by nostalgia) it was just the right kind of everything for a ten year old to cruise around. I think I never noticed how long it was back then. And the remake for Wii U / Switch… Read more

Ya know, my life is ruled by fomo. What if I sell it and a whole bunch of exclusives I want come out? Plus there’s the fact that in order to avoid cart swapping I got all but one game digitally and can’t resell them. It’s just easier to keep it and hope someday it serves a better purpose in my home than dust… Read more

It’s also potentially dangerous if / when that vegetation starts dying because it will crumble and blow about as radioactive dust which is an issue over in Pripyat. Read more

Lol. The old ones never emoted much through their faces but again I’m one who finds that nostalgically charming. One hopes they’d bring it up to code some but I don’t need them to really blow me away. As for bubbleface, yes, he is a horrifying monster. Read more

Boy, I was starting to think I was going crazy trying to argue essentially this in the comments of the other article. I just kept thinking, “well, shit, it looks like Shenmue, what more do people want?” Read more

Lol. You don’t give a shit who makes them, you just care about quality, and you’re able to tell the quality of a game simply by pre-judging the visual component of a single trailer. I bet you don’t give a shit about film directors either, right? You simply assess the quality of a film by its trailer and then go throw… Read more

I don’t even know anymore. I was pretty drunk when I wrote that. And I was looking it over and it does kinda read like a satire of a comment, doesn’t it? But really, it doesn’t bother me, I don’t need my games to be beautiful, and of course it will get worked on more before release. I just think people get too worked… Read more

That’s how he always looked. Which was my point. Read more
