I dug Control’s atmosphere. I loved Judgment’s nostalgia. But only Fire Emblem: Three Houses gripped me from beginning to end for two routes (Black Eagles and Blue Lions) and currently has its claws in me for the Golden Deer route. And it’s fascinating how much the routes differ after the White Clouds’ chapters. Which… Read more

“...but my boyfriend definitely does react like he’s been hit by some kind of anime magical girl attack every time he sees me in a new outfit.” Read more

Every time I think of Adam Sandler being a quite remarkable actor, I mourn his absence as the Bear Jew in Inglourious Basterds. He was the first choice for that role and he would have absolutely slayed. We’re unfortunately left with the bitter taste of Eli Roth in what is, admittedly, the best thing he’s ever… Read more

I’m no Sandler fanatic but I’m glad to see that Punch Drunk Love wasn’t a fluke. Honestly, one of my all-time favorite movies and performances. I always hoped he had another movie like that in him.

There’s an artist I like named Bruce Nauman who has an interesting video installation called “Clown Torture.”

What an awesome new tool! I’m sure I’ll plop one down, but more beeps and bloops less music lol. Read more

A combination of idle game and puzzle game? Sign me up! This is a really interesting concept and I don’t know how it’ll turn out but it definitely sound worth a try. But hey, worst case scenario, if I get bored and stop playing, it’ll beat itself eventually. A self-cleaning backlog :p Read more

Who is Sleve McDichael?  Read more

I dunno, all of the sports related questions are trivia about which team is the only team in the history of the NBA to ever shwoop the woop five times in a single inning, or some such. Definitely not on the same level of these questions.  Read more

I like how it was the last category anybody picked. They were probably really relieved it was easy.  Read more

Ah, a Jeff. Time to dig this up:

Gita, thank you for writing and sharing this. I also discovered Olympic weightlifting as an adult, and my weightlifting journey is also connected to both games and my relationship with my own body. Weightlifting is awesome and transformative in a way that’s hard to describe—you have really captured a lot of similar…

I would like to, at this time, bring up Batman: Arkham Asylum as the pioneer for games that let you see your injuries and changes on your character as the game progresses. Read more

Didn’t know people were hating on Hop. I legit felt bad for the dude every time he lost and would always go looking for him when he got depressed in the story. Hell, I almost lost a pivotal battle on purpose just to see if he’d feel better (but my damn pride got in the way). Read more

You know what, I’m going to start up where I left off on Chapter 3. Hopefully I can have the full game finished before Friday. Great review Gita, and I’ll try to be a bit selfish on my playthrough.

I have the first Life is Strange, but haven’t played yet because of babies and adulting. But this is a beautiful review, and I might start with 2 instead. They’re separate entities, right? Or should I start with 1?  Read more

I’m sorry, did an expert in the field just come out and say that geese typically do not carry on them a list of horrible pranks that they dutifully perform throughout the day. Is she “Not All Geese”ing us on a game where you intentionally rip the glasses off a dweeby kid’s face and bring back the wrong pair? Read more
