Absolutely will not come out this year. And yes, incredibly skeptical. Because if MGSV taught us anything, it’s that Kojima (like Cage) needs an editor. Or at least someone to tell him “no” from time to time. Read more

Both. Very few things are one thing or another. Overwatch is both a piece of art with a nominally utopian outlook towards representation and a massive cash cow for a corporation whose prime concern is making money. Read more

My favorite recruitment stuff is all the stuff with Clive and Elza. My favorite star is Sierra. Read more

Hey! I was in a studio recording a video.

I did a lot of things before this. Barista, doctor’s office assistant, road stand up comic, video game QA. My first job was working at a summer camp teaching acting.

As for what I wanted to do, I thought I was gonna be a teacher or maybe keep climbing the game dev latter to Read more

I also nailed most other headshots and used my knife smartly. But yeah, I sure. got a little lost near the end in the library. I’m actually replaying the original this weekend in the lead up to my review. I’ve not played it in a long time (I prefer Nemesis) so it should be interesting!

Well, Riley. I am finishing up Stormblood in Final Fantasy XIV and telling some more fortunes. But because I just played Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake for work, I have a hankering to play some Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. Read more

I tried a middle of the week time and got a few more people but I think the real day will be Saturday in the afternoon. You should definitely come on by! Read more

Not horribly long, and it’s not like this made me “rich” in any sense of the word. I say a “lot” here but that’s mostly because I’m not selling anything or whatever. A week’s worth of dailies—dungeons, crafting quests, selling extra items—far, far exceeds this. Read more

Dreamcast, since I really can’t stand Legends’ compressed musical audio. I have the files for the DLC as part of this big archive but I’ll have to look up again how to download that to my Dreamcast since it’s been a while.

In an ideal world, there’s a remake with Legends’ content and the Dreamcast’s audio quality but Read more

I can shed some light! We have a process (Kirk traditionally leads it, but we’ll see who takes over that duty now) wherein we first submit personal top ten lists to gauge support and then have about a 2-3 week period where we both a) play games we might have missed out on and b) occasionally discuss which games lack Read more

Man, I feel ya. But also, hey I’m enthusiastic to play this again. :) Read more

There’s something about this world that I really like. It’s a bit hard to quantify, but I enjoy wandering around it. I also think the character writing feels very natural, especially by series standards. This is less a sweeping narrative and more of a character piece (ie. it’s kinda got a Dragon Age 2 vibe at times) Read more
