Meh, no surprise.  Hopefully it’s all taken care of by the time I get home tonight.  So anxious Read more

That makes sense, the kind of lag I usually got was the old school ‘90s “walk around a corner and then the dickhead game just moves you backwards around it again” Read more

I imagine MCC will come to PC eventually now that it’s pretty much fixed, but they might wait to port it until they check everything off the list that they want to add. The custom games browser is still coming to my knowledge, and there was a lot of fan demand for full character customization rather than the barebones Read more

While I am all for biting down and hanging in there until a busted game gets ‘fixed’ (A Realm Reborn anyone?), the utter flood of titles though a typical year, along with devoted fans/gamers who as they age and find they have less time for such things means that a bad game can become better or even great, but it may Read more

For some reason, the idea of her defending her church and her father’s grave from the Peggies resonated with me, and I pretty much kept her as my second the whole Read more

I saw this on /v/ earlier today and thought it was fake or something. Glad to see it’s actually real. Ubisoft have some balls and I like it. Read more

I play the game and love all the dance emotes, but yeah, Fortnite is such a cultural juggernaut that they have both the capital and means (they had Thanos as a playable character, after all) to negotiate using signature dance moves from other artists Read more

I hope this is the first of many.  If you’re going to make money off the culture, the people that create the culture should be rewarded Read more
