Hey Luke! The guy in the suit is a prop maker who goes by SinisterPropz! He is me, feel free to check out socials under that name.

So let me get this straight, when Master Chief twerks with Megan Thee Stallion it’s one of the greatest moments at TwitchCon, but when She-Hulk does it, it’s the lowest point in the MCU. Did I get that right? Read more

Read about this over the weekend. It all seems tragically ironic but also, exactly the sort of thing Disco Elysium talked about, Capital absorbing it’s critiques. The bottling and selling of rebellion against itself. The anarchic-communist revolution sponsored by Pepsi. Read more

I was a like, a staunch Zelda fan when I got into gaming. The Nintendo 64 was my holy grail. And I got one in like, 2000 or so?

But then I saw the opening cinematic to Final Fantasy VIII at a friend’s house on their birthday and I just. It was over. Read more

The PS1 era’s game selection was AMAZING. To me, Ridge Racer, Battle Arena Toshinden, Wipeout, and others provided a running start and case for 3D gaming over the 16-bit era. I bought it and my first game was Wild Arms. There are so many titles and series that defined the PS1 in my eyes (not necessarily PS1 exclusive Read more

Tomb Raider and Resident Evil are the games that made me abandon my extremely well-used SNES. Even the N64 had a hard time keeping me away from the PSX, with the occasional exception of Goldeneye, Zelda and Rogue Squadron tier titles.  It will always be one of the absolute finest systems and libraries in my mind.

I remember when Mike went to a My little pony con and wrote about it here. He got a lot of shit about it on comments but sort of joked it away. I donnu it was just how he handle the whole thing that made an impact on me. Like I’m gonna like whatever damn thing I please and not care how it may look for others. Read more

Every time I deal with a spider I think about the copy of Plants vs Zombies that ended up stuck on Fahey’s office ceiling and wonder if it’s still there. Read more

Thank you—and thanks Mike, rest well, you made a lot of people happy. Truly Fahey was the best of us.

This game is generally getting some pretty good reviews, but I don’t mind seeing a different perspective. I’m not sure it’s for me either way, but it sounds interesting on paper.  Read more

dollars to donuts that this innitiative is purely investor-driven drek. The phrase “a platform with a suite of digital resources such as purchasable rules expansions and virtual character sheets” is so corporate that an Excel sheet suddenly opened in front of me. Read more

Video games are so weird. Imagine going to the park with a couple of friends to play a pick up game and like 10% of the time an NBA prospect joined in. Read more

I know it's the opposite of the complaint in the article, but they really should just take SBMM out of the damn casual matchmaking. I used to think SBMM people complaining about skill levels were silly, but trying to play Apex regularly lately, feels like I have to clench my cheeks and sweat my ass off to have any Read more
