Killing your own voters to own the libs... is a strategy. Read more

I have no particular favourite but vivid, fond memories of playing SFII in the arcades when I was in high school. Some of the games magazines at the time repeated the bogus rumour that finishing the game with no hits taken would let you play against the mystery character Sheng Long. Once I watched a guy playing as Ryu … Read more

I just want Q, Necro, and Twelve as DLC characters for 6. Just have one battle pass be exclusively weird-ass characters like ten people will use. Read more

I selfishly want them to bring Skullomania to one of the DLCs for SF6. VERY SELFISHLY Read more

I was so desperately hoping for this, too. The area around Martha’s Rest was so pretty for two seconds, then it became foggy, and then everything became purple. Surely Ultima could have done his spell without also completely ruining the atmosphere of the game.

I pride myself on having a properly calibrated TV and was really frustrated that I had to change my HDR settings just to be able to literally see anything at all in this game. I know they all had to watch GoT as part of the development process, but come on. I get it, it’s dark, but I still need to be able to play the… Read more

I was sure that the fight just before the “Do all the sidequests you want now because the next step is the point of no return” part would at least get rid of the Final Days sky spell so the end/postgame would have go back to pretty and more varied environments, but nope. They stay forever, and it sucks. I’m so sick of… Read more

This weekend I’m bringing my son with me to visit my dad, which means I’ll be giving my dad another lesson in how to play video games. Read more

I can’t let you undermine PC version’s supremacy! I love it to death! PC EUROCOM SSF2T DOS CD-ROM Rulzzz!! Read more

I’ve suddenly found myself playing the campaign for StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty out of nowhere. I bought it when it came out and then just never played it. I played the hell out of the first one with friends in high school, so playing 2 now is an unexpected jolt of nostalgia. After all this time, I’m still rubbish… Read more

OG Legend of Zelda will always be my favorite because it gave us this glorious picture:

The weekend threads are back! Nature is regenerating! Read more

This is so brutally sad and dystopic. We are ALL ugly. Poor kid.  Read more

and people laughed at me for outputting my sound from built-in monitor speakers but guess who is laughing from his perfectly shaped skull now. Read more

It’s a price for early adopters, but there enough of those (along with enough good will for Apple products) that I suspect this will be successful. There’s no doubt they could build a similar product at a more affordable price point in the future; just look at the iPhone. Read more

If Peter doesn’t say “Now dig on this” at some point what the hell is even the point of this get? Read more

Everything looks good, I have an OG Quest and I have been holding off on upgrading till a new model was announced. I’ve been pretty happy with it aside from the lack of storage. Read more

I’ve been playing Final Fantasy for a Loooong loooong time. I have my favourites, but one thing is undeniable; this is exactly what Final Fantasy always wanted to be. FF7 Remake, it’s the exact representation of what every FF tried to achieve for many many years. There have been many motives, but tech was the main,… Read more

The various previews have solidified the fact that the footage up to this point has really left me cold as a lifelong FF fan. I’m not terribly bummed (FF7 Remake is one of my favorite games of all time, so more of that soon really helps the FOMO), but it is strange to be on the outside of the hype cycle looking in for… Read more
