Glad I could be useful! Read more

Chronic pain/chronic fatigue/the symptoms of severe magnesium deficiency/some other stuff. I am gonna go get a magnesium IV at the infusion clinic later. Read more

If I’d even been able to do one extra draft on that Lara Croft piece, I’d be so much happier with myself. Read more

Again, it’s literally my favorite action adventure game of all time. Thanks for the kind words, though. Read more

Nah, I didn’t have anything prepared. I generally just write the full stuff I want to write for Kotaku, which you can check out on the gbb tags. I’m slow ‘cause I write really long things (the most recent draft I submitted was 3500+ words for instance) and spend a lot of time polishing them, first by myself and then… Read more

Yeah, I only had a couple days, and I was supposed to go to the hospital for some infusion therapy, so plans fell through, so I’ve been dealing with a health crisis. Most of this stuff is like maybe 50 minutes to 2 hours of writing tops? I’m really lucky to have been given the opportunity, though. I definitely feel… Read more

I think there are better ways to go about exploring the action hero than just making some references to it. There are smart funny things and dumb funny things, and I think Duke Nukem would be great at appearing dumb on the surface but doing a whole awesome deconstruction thing instead. Read more

I want his burgers replaced with veggies so he gets mad and goes on the hunt for real burgers and then he finds the burgers. The evil aliens were trying to steal the burgers. That is why they are evil. Because they are aliens trying to steal our meat. Read more

Nope, just a weekend editor. You’re safe from me. Read more

No, it’s super great, and, like I said, the best action-adventure game of the generation. It just has this one boring player character. That’s it. Read more

You can check out the past few years of my writing (I do a once-a-month column) at kotaku.com/tag/gbb. Read more

if they ain’t hot, what’s the point? Read more

Is it really wrong to say “I don’t like the current representation of a character I used to enjoy” though? Old Lara was cool. New Lara is not as cool, and my least favorite part of one of my favorite games. Read more

I am pretty regular! If you check out kotaku.com/tag/gbb, you can read a lot more of my longer, more carefully thought out stuff. I usually post once a month! Read more

Okay, but Uncharted 4 was so boring I stopped playing, and Rise of the Tomb Raider was so good I couldn’t put it down and had monster 12+ hour gaming sessions with it. Read more

I liked Old Lara more. Read more

I’m eventually gonna go back to it, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s at least got a poorly executed first several hours. Most everyone I know who put it on their GOTY list early on started talking about how they have no desire to go replay it and hated all the walk and talk sequences. I’ll get to it, but I… Read more

I wouldn’t care if maybe I got to know her father! I didn’t, though. So it didn’t really matter to me that much. Read more

Nah. I wrote my definitive piece on it years ago on TAY and so there’s nothing left for me to say. Same with Red Dead. Read more
