Currently the host is trying to hype up the audience and get them to cheer, which is always a very strange thing to do at a press conference. Read more

Assassin’s Creed: Symphony, in which you play as a violinist who’s actually an assassin... in a symphony FULL OF TEMPLARS Read more

This is a much more muted opening than Ubisoft’s normal approach of “Why are there people in fur suits on stage” Read more

I’m also expecting a new Rabbids game featuring Keanu Reeves and Sonic The Hedgehog (movie version). I have no proof to back this up, but it feels like it’s time for a new Rabbids game, and Keanu Reeves is, you know, around. Read more

Hi! It’s me, Nathan Grayson, who can charitably be called a person. I’ll also be liveblogging, unless some terrible tragedy befalls me beforehand. Read more

I don’t disagree, but he filed a complaint, and from what I gather, that’s how complaints are designed to function: you throw everything in and see what sticks. I’m guessing tfue’s attorney was more responsible for that decision than he was Read more

I think I like it a little more than you, but yeah, a fair number of songs haven’t really stuck with me the way I was hoping they would. definitely a bummer Read more

Now playing

they do! it’s a double album called terraformer. coming out in june. they announced it with this video that I highly recommend you watch, even though it will crack your brain open like an egg

aw, thanks for reading! I really love digging into unique games like this, so I’m really glad you appreciated it Read more

Now playing

every song on this album is super good, and I definitely agonized over which one to post for more than 30 minutes. that in mind, here’s the one that *narrowly* took second place. it goes SO HARD at the end, and I fucking love it

I actually like this game’s survival mechanics pretty well. your character only gets hungry/thirsty every handful of hours, so it’s not this constant thing you have to monitor. it’s more like you’ve got to eat a quick meal or two per in-game day. heck, you can nap for two or three “hours” and not wake up hungry or Read more

that, or they’re finally feeling pressure for the first time in ever thanks to epic (even if epic’s store is still kind of a total mess) Read more

yeah, philly was one of my favorites during season one, but I’ve had to jump off that train (at least, as far as being emotionally invested in them goes) because they drive me insane half the time Read more

all of the OWL teams are in southern california for now, and they all compete in the same arena. at some point in the future, they’ll move to their actual cities. it’s looking like that might happen next season, but it’s unconfirmed as of now Read more

yuuuuuuuuup. exodus is a little better in this regard, but honestly not by all that much. anna is still mostly a damsel, and katya is a nurse. it’s implied that two other prominent women characters do cool things, but we don’t ever really get to see it happen. and then they’re gone shortly after, never to be seen Read more

I thought this wanna gonna be an elaborate remix of all star, but nope, this is just an actual thing they did. wow. Read more

I think I will be, unless I burn myself out by sinking waaaay too much time into it over the next few days Read more

there are multiple difficulty options, actually! you can reload from death instead of playing with perma-death, if you want, and you can also tune other, more specific elements, too. I would tell you what they are, but I’d need to start a new game or die on my current run to look, and I don’t want to do either of Read more
