This is a really neato mode and I’m glad to see it’s back. Even as a baseball devout, I learned some cool stuff with the mode and Bob Kendrick is an engaging narrator Read more

This is great! Moved from PS4 to PC after Witch Queen and was miffed that I had to buy the DLC for Stasis. I know Bungie is in a tough spot, but I love this damn game and I’m going to see it through to the end. Read more

In “defense” of Eidos Montreal, being an asshole to other people is a very French Canadian thing to do, so it’s not like they were singling him out. Read more

Taco Bell was test releasing the nuggets in October, up in Minneapolis, MN - I had them while visiting. They were Meh. It was the unnamed dipping sauce they came with, that was tasty as hell. Make sure they give you dipping sauce! lol Read more

Quick we don’t have enough to do and the players are getting bored!” Read more

It does look softer, but I just can’t, I need my 60fps.  Read more

Square: Please call this a Splatoon clone. Read more

It looks so slow...I mean...I know soap bubbles don’t exacly zip around...but the projectiles look like they just hover for a couple seconds before doing anything...maybe if they were smaller...because they are HUGE. Read more
