I would just like to say that I loved everything about this video. A+ job, guys. Read more

Wasn't Spec Ops a cool game? Some deep flaws, but I appreciate what they were trying to do more and more the further I get from it. Read more

I'm not a speed-gamer, but I can be pretty fast when I want to be. But yeah, I'm generally juggling a bunch of different games and frequently have to pause to focus on new stuff for work, so I tend to take my time with stuff I'm playing on my own time. Read more

I'm guessing a significant chunk of that Tower time has been spent A) looking for Xur and B) jumping from plant to plant while waiting for everyone to finish getting ready.

If you've ever wondered "how good can people get at music?" those two tracks are a pretty solid answer Read more

Now playing

^^ and here's the second half of that, which closes out the album. Absolutely ridiculous.

Hah! I had totally forgotten about this. A+ headline. Read more

I'll go first—here's the cable pile lurking in my living room:

Heh, yeah. I actually meant to make a crack about that and forgot. I remember taking the screenshot and thinking "Okay, well actually, this one doesn't quite make sense..." Read more

Yeah. I wasn't making some big distinction or anything, it just seems a little more like "something that someone hired someone else to paint on their building" rather than graffiti, which I've always thought of as more hasty/illicit. I am certainly not the "this is/is not graffiti" police! Read more

Yeah, hamfisted is a good way to describe it. I still liked it a lot, but hopefully they can get at least a little more subtle as they go. Read more

Fair enough! I dunno, I taught high school in California for a good long while, and I never heard a student unironically refer to something as an "epic win" or call herself a "noob." Some of the dialogue is really good, but it hits sour notes pretty regularly. Read more

Yeah, TWD definitely had the most room of any of the four for character stuff. The games just start to feel more and more hurried - I started noticing it in Wolf, and it's definitely an issue in Game of Thrones, too. Read more
