Twitter DMs. I may or may not have overwritten my save so you might wind up being my Gamer of the Mont. (A title I just made up now.) Read more

Yeah. There’s a chance you can find them through SOS flares but that’s super small. Best bet is to look out on social media or follow some streamers. Read more

Ohohoho. Let’s talk soon, friend. Read more

I’d also like to personally apologize to anyone affected. When I uploaded my footage through our system yesterday, I thought it would be cool to show off the new monster and a really fun hunt. I submitted this footage without any idea that something like this was even possible, particularly for something like… Read more

I mean, I’ll probably just be happy to have a three-person ship but there seems to be a lot in the works. New enemy types, some type of giant threat that sounds similar to the kraken but you can team up to fight it, some teases at what I think will be ghost ships, special locations to locate. It sounds neat.

Because the game doesn’t have any fancy name for winning ala “chicken dinner” I call it “scoring and Esposito.” Read more

At the end of the day, I think you can play solo can have a good time. That’s what Kirk mostly did and he enjoyed it. But, for me, a big part of Monster Hunter is tapping into a larger community. If you get the chance to try it out, I’d definitely give it a shot. Read more

Look out. We got a real badass here. Read more

For real though, look at this golden nonsense. I want it.

Legends is cool but that compressed audio on the soundtrack is big deal breaker with me. Read more

How about Skies of Arcadia, SEGA? Read more

It really helps to drop on your team or on the edge. It’s pretty easy to see a lot of the zone when you are on the way down. If you’re careful, you can stay alive for a decent amount of time although you’ll still have some moments where you drop and someone just aces you with an SKS. Read more

Oh nooooo. I’m so tiredd ahahah Read more

Since all of his scores have been removed, it’s possible Guinness will remove that from their records. In the case of the Dragster score decision, I was told that Guinness “will continue to partner with Twin Galaxies for further video game record verification.” We’ll see what happens. Read more

Not necessarily. In certain cases and games, they’ll accept submissions that use a variation called WolfMAME. Donkey Kong arcade scores have a pretty rigorous process though, requiring folks to show dipswitch settings, the attract mode, and a lot of internal stuff. Read more

Nope. Broken things, including games, are often more interesting and beautiful than immaculately crafted tour de forces.  Read more

If localizers kept 100% true to the original text, they’d be translators and our scripts would be a lot less colorful and characters less memorable. They make hundreds of these invisible changes to scripts and, going on a limb here, and I’m gonna guess you probably never noticed or cared until it seemed vaguely… Read more

I’ve been playing with no UI and bumped up difficulty. That helps get some of the experience up to snuff but things definitely still feel a bit too clean. Read more
