Yeah, but I like having the feedback confirming that it actually took the screenshot. Read more

Yeah I have some really good (bad) automated ones, but I decided not to include them since I technically didn’t take them. But yeah, like this one, lmao

So I guess that means the tech tree guy is going to die this time? Wonder how that’ll work Read more

BoxBoxBoy! And also BoxBoy, if you haven’t played it. Read more

Also maybe Valkyria Chronicles? Read more

Depends on the game, I’d say. I know Patricia is really good at Gears of War and seems good at online shooters in general. Jason is a world-class Threes player and can probably whup us all at Starcraft 2. Patrick has impressive Mario skills, and seems to excel at extremely difficult platformers.

We have a few (five?) vives across our staff, counting the pre. Only Stephen and I have Rifts, as far as I know. We’ll definitely be doing something on “the state of VR” at some point, though weekly is too often. And we’ll keep covering new cool VR games when they come out. Fahey hit Cosmic Trip earlier this week and… Read more

Yeah, I LOVE when a teammate plays Mercy. She also seems to pair well with Ana, since she’s such a big target for heals and can really go ham when Ana boosts her. Read more

shhhhhhhh... Read more
