how about that 6x overtime game also? Read more

Those were some incredible matches yesterday against Fnatic but I still have them winning this whole tourny. I think FaZe will keep putting up a fight but Fnatic is too good to go out this soon Read more

Maybe there’s a reason the game pointed me in a specific direction?

Ha, made me think of the time I thought It would be fun to just run off in a different direction than the one provided at the start of Fallout: New Vegas. When I first saw the flying bugs I was like: Read more

This explains why I couldn’t buy it to play with a friend. Read more

Indie/smaller developers need to stop coding shit that actually seems good. I was happy getting my AAA releases and planning my money accordingly, knowing everything else would be overpriced or shitty. I got blindsided already twice this last month (By Stardew Valley and that DOTT remake), and I can’t afford getting Read more

I always hated the “sorry if we offended you” idea. Don’t make a conditional apology, just leave it as a simple “we fucked up, sorry.” Read more

I’m really trying to keep the mystique in my game by not going near any guides. I just found a place last night that was only accessible with a steel axe. I had that axe for a year of game time, I just hadn’t wandered far enough to see the log. Read more

I’m really into the idea of characters working on their own schedule, and being able to go back in time, whether in-universe or strictly as a gameplay mechanic. Read more

Bonus DLC where you play as Rosencrantz and Guildenstern? Read more

This is a fantastic idea. I fucking love Hamlet. If it turns out well, they should do a sequel with Richard III, where you can play from both sides: As Richard trying to ensure his ascension to the throne and avoid his own death, and as someone else, either an actual character or a servant, etc. who doesn’t exist in Read more

The storm was unexpected, so it explains why he doesn’t have gloves. However, he might have to find some at some point...

One problem I thought of after I stared at that great blizzard gif on top: Gloves and the camera. Man this is a huge nit-pick, but if you’ve ever tried to do something in a blizzard, you know what I’m talking about. I’d find it basically impossible to operate a camera like that in warm gloves, and I’d also find it Read more
