It will probably be bad, but there’s a 0.0000001% chance it’ll be funny and timely. Read more

A comedy about the trials and tribulations of running a live service game? From It’s Always Sunny folks? You know what, sure. I’ll watch it. Read more

For real, though, this is a cool depiction of community organizing, and it seems to be both making a hopeful political statement AND having some fun with these characters. I really dig it so far. Read more

I wonder what happens if you just royally botch things and get the entire population perma-killed. I’m sure there’ll be an achievement for that. Read more

Someone in YouTube chat just said “GRANNY GANG RISE UP.” lol Read more

Omg, this is fantastic. She kicked a man in the shin to incapacitate him. Also, her spider bot leaped onto somebody’s face. Also: she has a spider bot. Read more

He tried to flee but killed. Permadeath. Now, though, the player can just choose another resistance member. This time, an older woman who’s a hacker. Read more

Main character got critically wounded by a drone, but then his silhouette (?) emerged from his body and got into a car. Or he stealthed? Read more

Giant signs with words like “KEEP YOU SAFE.” In case you were worried that this wasn’t a Big Brother 1984 nanny state. Read more
