The Wii U controller is all, hey, what about me... I’m weird and different... notice me... Read more

It’s something we’ve talked about—I clear out the comments below The Bests posts every so often, so I see the readers who feel we should limit our lists to exclusives! The ultimate goals of The Bests posts are twofold: Primarily to provide a helpful list of recommendations for anyone who just got a new console and Read more

Yeah, that one’s filed under “things I’d spelled wrong my entire life and now have learned how to spell!” (Along with “Grimoire,” apparently.) Read more

First of all, glad you like the show! Second, that’s a bummer - we’re actually not sure what the problem might be, but we’re looking into it. We’re considering changing our hosting setup to something more formal, so if/when we do that it might fix the issue. Read more

I really do wish this game had built-in multiplayer. It’s crying out for it. Here’s hoping modders get it done, at least! Read more

I think that’s a challenge with reviewing most big games, yeah. Particularly this time of year. There’s something to be said for just casually playing a game like this, rather than wolfing it down. That said, I actually had a fair bit of lead time to play, so I didn’t feel rushed. I doubt my read on the game would Read more

That makes sense. How weird that a bed would mark that as a “requirement” under crafting, when you don’t need a settler to craft it, just to use it. Read more

No, of course we’re not “paid by them.” We write about whatever games we’re playing, and over the last couple of months, there’s been a ton to write about w/r/t Destiny. It’s a fascinating game! Read more

They might if my PSN name weren’t “idpl_mal,” so if and when Sony gets their shit together and lets us change ‘em, I’ll be easier to spot. But if you do see me, feel absolutely free to blow me a kiss. Read more

Ha, “Most Awkward Lines.” That would’ve been a good one. Read more

Bladedancer mostly suffers on this list because it’s so thoroughly outclassed by Nightstalker. It’s not a BAD class by any means, it’s just become largely irrelevant to me, particularly in PvE. Read more

Y’all are really talking up raze-lighter! I’ll definitely get it at some point, and then I’ll update my ranking if it’s warranted. Read more
