Just finished HW for the first time a few days ago and loved it. He was a major part of it. RIP Stephen Critchlow.... Read more

His performance was phenomenal and a certain scene where he took the center roll was the emotional high point of Heavensward for me. The FFXIV writers wrote Count Edmont as a character that many players adopted as an in game dad, but Critchlow’s performance cemented it for us. Read more

I had logged out just in front of Fortemps manor yesterday morning, so when I logged back on yesterday evening I spawned in the middle of this. It was a bit awkward.  Read more

Phasmophobia has become a frequent go-to hangout game for my friends and I this past year. You get to chill and chat and occasionally get spooked or run for your life. Personally I enjoy the you vs AI puzzle aspect, as you are required to use tools to locate and identify your invisible adversary. Read more

I’m ready! I’m ready! I’m ready! (for this game to come out!) Read more

Would that be “In his house at Fortnite dead Peely waits dreaming” ? Read more

Wavedashing, dash dancing, L-canceling, zip smashing, trigger hopping, moon walking, short shrifting, kilt tossing, tube socking, cow tipping, wet willies, atomic wedgies, the dreaded rear admiral, front facing backwards-forwarding, back facing forwards-backwarding, yup, it’s all there!    Read more

Imagining Idris Elba doing a Pumpkin Hill cover music video. It’s glorious ❇

I see the headline, look at the thumbnail of Tomato Adventure and clicked so hard. I have been waiting to play this game for ages. Great catch Ian. Although this will only make me miss Alpha-Dream even more. Read more

Tried this game out after reading. I think there’s a lot different skill than games that give you complete control of a car. Almost like slot cars, going fast but not too fast, and changing lanes while avoiding collisions. Definitely see how you could spend a lot of time mastering this game, the AI also doesn’t take Read more

Haha, I’m actually not surprised something like this happened. I’m more impressed it doesn’t happen more often(or it does and just isn’t caught). For 16 months I had really low level security clearance for a job. During a couple out-of-work conversations, some topics that I had insight on came up and I was about to Read more

I’m hopeful that a new generation of gamers will appreciate the subtle greatness of The Pharmacy Song.

Nice. Best monster, in the best Godzilla movie (though Final Wars and Hedorah are close seconds...) Read more
