Super Excited and can’t wait, especially with the additional news that New N’ Tasty will be getting a Limited Physical run as well. Read more

There is absolutely no reason a single person should be singled out like this. It’s disgusting. Read more

I dislike most of the censorship, but making someone’s life a living hell over it isn’t just cool. Fight it the other way, but don’t destroy someone’s life over something like censorship.

Working over and over with exploits like letterbomb, thinking I’d bricked Read more

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories! I really enjoyed that game. Read more

you could also conveniently say there’s no wifi and/or a cellphone signal so your protagonists can still keep their currently-useless cellphones and go about with the mystery without needing to force them to lose them entirely. Read more
