Those extra two jiggies are painful. Read more

I dunno. Instead of making bad decisions and occasionally winking, they could have made a better game? Read more

It’s a question of variety versus raw length, I think. There’s all kind of stuff to do in Yooka-Laylee. You’re bound to find a few mini-games or sequences that really scratch your nostalgic itch. Read more

I don’t know if I’d be able to deal with super long sessions but practicing for an hour or two each day works out well. I’ve just started so it’s all pretty fresh and fun. Read more

People are still routing and there’s even questions about category requirements. I’m as interested in 100% as you are; it’s going to be a massive endeavor. But there’s still a bit of time before it happens. Read more

A tricky question, Riley. I’m still working on a game for review and I think that it’s going to take a lot of my time. There’s a lot of animal pals to talk to and shiny trinkets to collect. Most of my weekend will be spent on that. Read more

Address the need for the hustle. The degree to which people labor for even basic goods is criminal. We should seek ways to alleviate our systems of the mechanics that create drastic economic inequalities. Read more

New England! :) Read more

I can’t entirely agree. Games are simply not as economically accessible as other mediums. They are expensive for professionals, let alone hobbyists or casual players. Read more

They done Pac Man and such before, yeah. But not everyone knows about it and we’re all entitled to a little bit of fun, y’know? Read more

I find Dark Souls 3 to be simultaneously intelligent in design but perfunctory in existence. I actually prefer it that way; solid criticism relies on the ability to sort through these contradictions to creating comprehensive commentary. Read more

Castigating reply. Transparently placed emoticon. Read more

It makes a lot more sense in Ringed City, which very clearly positions itself as the last big, Souls series test. The additional fighters add a lot of tension and tie into the DLC’s broader sense of being a stitched together, cosmological singularity where pieces of the series gather. Read more

Laser. Angels. Read more

You’ll either need to have cleared Ashes of Ariandel or unlocked the bonfire before the final boss in the main game. This is intended to be high level stuff. I rushed and ended it at level 81 but it feels more like an NG+ deal if I’m being honest. Read more

This would be absolutely adorable and a shockingly perfect fit. I’m surprised they didn’t do that. Read more

Thanks! Good to have that extra information about Zelda II. Read more

I’m really in love with it. The writing is very genuine. I think a lot of people who grew up in smaller towns can really identify with it. Especially that strange feeling you get when you head back and it’s all different. Read more

Wow! I almost forgot to tell you what I’m playing, Riley. I’m getting started on a wonderful little nostalgia based collect-athon game that stars little animal folks. I forget the name though. Tootie Fruity? Harry Larry? Whatever. Read more

It’s professional rambling, if you must. :) Read more
