Bra-vo. What an absolutely astonishing read. Read more

Awesome read, especially because it reminds me of my adolescence while showing me what a similar routine was for the generation after mine. On the weekends my Dad had me in middle school, he’d pick me up from bowling league (late) and then drop me off at the mall with money for quarters/tokens so he could go back to… Read more

As a teacher, I would toss that shit in a lost and found box and let students come and find it themselves. This isn’t kindergarten and at some point these folks need to learn to be responsible for their own crap. Read more

agreed that some of them are pretty rude... you would think nobles (and even non-nobles) would respond a little more respectfully to their professor! Read more

I’m the kind of player that really likes obsessing over stats in this game. I do every lesson manually, and every few missions I take a half hour to check over my items and skills and make sure it’s all where I want it to be. Read more

My 1700 hours of Bastion have now been validated.  Read more

So I can finally main bastion and not be yelled at?!! Read more

I’m obligated to master them because my nostalgia demands it. It will be a challenge! Like the second Canary Mary race! Read more

I’m super happy because they play exactly as I would have expected Banjo and Kazooie to play in Smash and I find them a ton of fun. The first thing I did was go into classic mode with them and I managed to finish at 9.5 which I felt was pretty good given I hadn’t played in like 6 months and hadn’t used them before. Read more

I’m fairly disappointed with where they’ve gone with story and character elements. None of it feels cohesive. It’s been 3 years and they still haven’t actually assembled the team in present day. Storm Rising in particular was very disappointing after an entire year of no real updates to the story. Along with the fact… Read more

The choice to put overwatch on switch this late is a weird one. Most people who have wanted to try overwatch have done so in the past 3 years. You need a stable online connection to play, so the portability is severely limited as well. Plus, I’m assuming no cross save, let alone cross play. So no one who does play… Read more

2/2/2 is a step in the right direction.

Now I wish they would work on how they present stats to the player. Giving a player a gold medal for 4 kills is wrong, plain and simple. It provides positive reinforcement instead of highlighting that 4 kills is not good. Additionally they need to show everyones stats (so both… Read more

“Are you okay?” Read more

“Who the hell is Terry?” thousands of Super Smash Bros. fans all asked, in unison, just one moment ago. Read more

Welp, never thought I’d see Acid King on here.  Great pick. Read more

You and Luke have great taste. Read more

My wife and I got to this stage where it’s just one central moving platform with all of the stations on the periphery before we stopped playing. She just kept getting mad every time we lost - not necessarily at me. Read more

The first 10 or so levels in the first game were fun. Then it just got frustrating. You either need a group of experienced gamers with fantastic communication, or the game quickly devolves into utter chaos and not in a fun way. Co-op games like this need a far more forgiving difficulty curve to be appealing to a… Read more

Every time I introduce this game to someone it goes like this:

I had only vaguely heard of ProJared before the controversy. Quickly forgot about it when it happened. And will just as quickly forget about him now. So... What was I talking about? Read more
