Your real life is real at 17, no matter how you may patronise those experiences as an adult. To condemn that reality is to lie to yourself. Sure, you know that things that felt like they would destroy you are barely remembered 20 years later, but what about 20 years from now? Are all your present experiences Read more

They’re not all perfect. I’d recommend avoiding the Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones and Pirates Of The Caribbean games”  Read more

I mostly agree, and of course this isn’t a review of anything. However, I do think an argument could be made that previous behaviour that affects customers is pertinent information? Read more

I think it’s crucial to remember that here we’re specifically talking about people who were “fans” of a game they’d never played. Being a fan of something you’ve personally enjoyed is a very different territory (and can certainly lead some to go to odd places), but this wasn’t that. Read more

It’s releasing for next-gen this year, but as backward compatible. However, they boast it runs better. The proper next-gen versions will be out some time next year. Read more

I just so fundamentally disagree. You assume so much about someone’s life that they can even conceive a library is a place they’re welcome in. That you can argue as you have is evidence of a sort of intellectual privilege, and many are denied it by being gruesomely let down by the systems in place. Not least those who Read more

Yes, I’ve worded that very badly. I’ve fixed it now. No one tell anyone. Read more

For the reasons laid out in the words that follow the bit you just quoted. Read more

If only someone had told you you could use your fingers on your DS! Read more

When I played BotW he was 3, and didn’t like it when I fought anything, so any time he was watching I had to try to play a completely peaceful route through the game! (Tragically now he’d more likely be begging me to whack more Moblins.) Read more
