Okay, so the last Desert Bus rap was "ironically" bad, then? Because, this was actually legitimately a good song? Y'all confuse me with respect to your lyrical proficiencies.

The music started up and I was like "oh, man, it's going to be some so-bad-it's-good Rhymedown type thing, prep ears for impact" but then it turned out to be like, legitimately good singing and clever lyrics and I want to buy it now? My expectations keep getting violated every which way by this...

Yeah, I was working registration during the contest and was hoping to check it out on the site- apparently I've straight-up missed out. This kinda seems like it was cobbled together from spare footage- was there trouble with the real cameras or something? (also, not that GFSML isn't a good...

Oh, jeez, it's spread to Yahtzee now. We're basically never, ever going to be safe from rhyming declarations of perverse lust for video game characters, are we? We might as well start calling dibs on our own polygonal waifus. In iambic pentameter.

So, just so we're clear- Jer is an agent of the ultra-Illuminati sent to dissuade Indiana Paul from deciphering the codex, right?

Jim. Oh god, Jim, you've got to stop this. It's getting worse. Do you need help? We can get you- dear Lord, we can get you help! It doesn't have to be like this! Think- think... soothing thoughts. Think soothing thoughts, of Ekans. What would Ekans think, Jim? Ekans cares about you, we all care...

Guys, that's not what a rhombus is. The bisecting diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular, and its sides are all congruent- the PS4 is just an ordinary parallelogram- or rather, since it's three-dimensional, a parallelepiped. Much more stylish than a blocky old rhombus.

Did Bob just... actually make an episode about the big picture? What happened to nostalgic retrospectives about obscure eighties children's cartoons? Things are starting to get a bit relevant around here...

Set the BAR for innovation? Are you- I- the- the point of innovation is to not HAVE a bar, what makes you think you can- OH. Ohhhhhhhh. I get it.

Haha, gosh, glchicks. Don't gotta be belligerent because someone likes a game that isn't super ultra deep medium-pushing stuff. The state of the industry is such that games focused on delivering a broadly appealing experience (read: fun) are favored by publishers. They sell better! And that's...

So I just picked up Borderlands 2, and I figured... you know, it's been a while since I actually sat down and did some writing about a game, might as well get back into the habit while I've got something to be excited about. I'm gonna take some notes and things while I play through this bad boy...

Hahahaha, this thread describes like... 90% of my blog, which is pretty much mostly me going on and on about games everyone oughta TOTALLY PLAY and stuff. The biggest offender is probably my rant on the subject of Okami, of which the following is only a teeny snippet. EDIT: aw frig s'been a...

It's mostly people who main Scout being bitter- they don't have very good options for taking them out without taking a lot of damage, and when it was introduced it fucked with the scout metagame and made people angry. Full sentry is more useful to the team when you're on RED defense, so...

Well, see, silent protagonists kind of serve a totally different purpose than a developed character. As is pretty clear, a silent protagonist isn't a character so much as a vehicle for the player's granular choices and persona. It allows the developer to put the player in a situation where their...

I think, that the Jimquisition... has definitely been a success, at putting a video with Jim in it, on the internet. And while, say, this documentary- in particular- doesn't actually feature the cat, in question, where the money it makes goes- I'm sure this cat is really essential, to things...
