Okay, and? Having more of an FOV doesn’t make a game better. Read more

What I meant was ‘if this post I mdae wasn’t a joke post.” Because this article I made was a joke post. Read more

First person is fine for mindless, pew-pew, shoot-bang, yay-’splosions, combat Read more

I think unless someone from Kotaku officially tells me to, I’m probably not gonna. I have some other jokey articles I’m gonna post later. Read more

Honestly, though, that first person Pac Man video in the article looks great, in my opinion. Read more

I can’t give you a gold star for that attempt at trolling, but I’m sure I have a participation trophy around here somewhere. Read more

I’d recommend 2 feet from a 27" or a bank of 3 27" Read more

One thing I regret about this article was not EXPLICITLY referencing Fatal Frame in that one paragraph near the end talking about other ways to handle inventory and stuff. Read more

I can’t see my body with my peripheral vision. I believe the closest approximation is an FOV of ~110 or a triple monitor setup. Obviously VR is the _absolute closest_ but it has motion issues. Read more

Have you ever read the story on why they didn’t finish it? It’s pretty interesting. The game itself wasn’t bad. Read more

I just started it! I like it a lot! More than Pokemon! I am going to buy the second one when it comes out this fall! Read more

You don’t have to agree with me. Contrasting terror and horror to explain plot construction is pretty basic narrative discourse 101. If you’re not very knowledgeable about the subject, it’s okay to speak up and say “hey, I don’t know a lot, but that doesn’t seem right to me.” I’m totally willing to have a chat with Read more

*shrug* I don’t have anything to say about Pokemon GO. Maybe I will tomorrow, I don’t know. Right this second, I can’t think of anything. So I’m not gonna write anything about it. Read more

Okay, so while the article itself is clearly tongue in cheek, I legitimately cannot think of a single game that was made worst by first person. Read more

I had backups. The issue was that the patch broke the saves. Read more
