    It's all bright, shiny and new. I'm freaking out.

    Critical Mix: 006

    Bionic Commando had three other wives? Looks like the job of driving a crazy taxi is out too for Rad. Maybe he can find something similar. Drive a mentally unstable minivan for uber.

    Critical Mix: 002

    He's got a hefty sedimentary layer though. Probably carrying a lot of silicate build up in the arteries too. Can't just down grit and expect to stay healthy, y'know? Good to have this comic back.

    Zero Punctuation: Hand of Fate 2

    Actually makes me interested in try the game. No, not because of the 'moms vibrator' analogy. Really. It's not. I MEAN it.

    Poll: A Drastic Measure to Save the Escapist - Mass Unbanning

    That's weirdly poignant and, seeing as I was imagining the cute lil' feller in your avatar saying the whited out parts, slightly sinister. I'll still be here, lurking, up until the lights go out. Then it's party time. It's a cockroach thing.

    Zero Punctuation: Star Wars: Battlefront 2

    I think that should be the biggest indicator to anyone that the microtransactions have gone too far, that it's brought two natural enemies together with the power of shared contempt for the money grubbing, manipulative scumwads.

    Poll: Which Was The Better Post-George Lucas Star Wars Movie?

    That moment. Oh yes indeed. I liked the film anyway, but in that scene Vader was an elemental force. You finally got to see part of the reasons he was spoken about with dread. The guys on the Tantive IV were probably relieved when that breach opened and they saw stormtroopers pouring...

    Let's talk about Yume Nikki, a game with a lot of potential.

    I don't have much to add to the discussion having never played it, though I have to admit awareness of the game through rumour of its quality and engaging plot. All I can really add is this at least it's catchy buk,bukabuk,bukabuk

    Only in DnD/ other systems....: Strange things that have happened in your games

    The game was Rolemaster. One of the old school, simulationist systems that has a reputation (entirely deserved) for complexity and oh so many charts and tables. Combat is slow but detailed and quite, quite fatal. The party were leading a small expedition in land to find a source of fresh...

    Taco News - Activision to Sell Games in Lootboxes

    I heard a rumor that Activision was going to move in the direction of Macrotransactions. They're like microtransactions, but they cost more so they're obviously worth more.

    What the hell?

    "you know what'd be awesome? If I could use my arse as a signet ring. That would be awesome." Somewhere there's a frustrated arachnid body modification artist who's sick of evolution getting all the cred for his cutting edge work.

    Taco News - Cuphead Developer Calls Journalists Wimps

    While I agree with you, taco news is excellent, I also want to learn how to earn thousands of dollars FROM MY OWN HOME with this one little secret.

    Games you can talk about forever.

    The first Xcom for the reasons stated here. I didn't get as deep into jagged alliance 2, but I do remember it fondly. When left for dead 2 first came out, I remember there was always a new story of how a mission went right/horribly wrong at each session of our gaming group. Oh...

    Taco News - The iPhone X Only Works for Beautiful People

    I wonder if nokia are planning a new phone for the aesthetically challenged end of the consumer base? My people. "Face like a brick? might as well have a phone like one too!"

    Zero Punctuation: Cuphead

    I too get misery boners and frustrated at a happy ending on occasion, but I also grew up in England during the eighties. Maybe it's a generational thing.
