The running parts don’t last long, and you could artificially set your jogging pace really low so that it never asks you to ru that vigorously. That or the quiet mode would do the trick. Once you’re in the battles, you have control over which exercises you do and can avoid anything that’d be noisy. Read more

I might still prefer Rise, but it’s close. Rise didn’t have as many tombs, let alone as many good ones, but it did have some interesting extra modes. Read more

No. Gooigi has the same moveset as Luigi, so he’s not easier for a co-op player to use. Read more

In the PlayStation blog post today, Ryan said: “ we have plenty of blockbuster experiences coming your way on PS4, including Death Stranding, The Last of Us Part II, and Ghost of Tsushima.” Read more

Why apologize? Because I don’t think we should be running uncensored screenshots of animations of young characters from popular fiction having sex. I’m not saying we should write about it or even in some fashion show people what it is we’re talking about, but how we presented it exceeded what many readers expected.

Noted, but I don’t have control of that. My focus was on addressing the readers. I’ll ask our tech people if that’s possible, but it’s not an option I’ve pursued. I tend to not think about advertisers when we run our posts.  Read more

We have multiple editors. I don’t see every article. But, as I said, the buck still stops with me about what we publish. Read more

Yeah, noted. It’s not what we want. In fact, these headline-less posts, which we call “blips” are intended to be short enough that you don’t need to click on them to read them. I erred in making this one too long. Sorry about that. Read more

Pretty good! Those thin bars near the.. is that a vent next to the game card slot? They’ve snapped off, but the rest of the system has been fine. Screen’s doing great, too. Read more

I’ve got drift, too, but I’m not even getting far enough to have to deal with that at the moment! And I’d been able to get around it easily for games like Baba Is You, which was one of my recent Switch obsessions. Read more

Thanks! Is there more stuff from vanilla Destiny 2 that’s now available to me and worth doing? All these Strikes have unlocked, for example. I can’t tell if there are new quests, too. I’ve only just gained access to the Tower. Read more

There are some games that I have to pretend don’t exist. Read more

You can drop a train car on them??? Read more

Oh, the “h” was in there. You just couldn’t see because it was obscured by an open car door. Read more

I find what we cover now far more interesting and less at risk of just being done on a gaming company’s own blog. People-based stories are always the most interesting, but in gaming they’re also often the hardest to find.  Read more

It could be hard to get a full-time job if a visa is an issue, but you can freelance from pretty much anywhere. If that’s appealing, then it’s down to the quality and originality of your pitches. Good luck! Read more

That they don’t actually want to hate.  Read more

I just read through Priest’s ongoing run on Deathstroke for DC. It’s great. A complex ensemble piece about the DC Universe’s most lethal assassin, his family and the many skeletons in his closet. It’s a very confusing read, so best to start with the first trade and go from there. Read more

I think it’s part of what people get out of our work, but I’m always wary of thinking of people who play games as consumers first. I think of games as art as much as I think of them as a business, and so, while we will always cover aspects of gaming that involve players being taken advantage of or companies doing… Read more

Haven’t seen Nick Denton in the offices in a while. Read more
