The Japanese liked Scarlett Johansson. Literally, people representing the country where GitS came from, thought Scarlett was a good choice. But, true to our nature, us white folks either didn't notice or acknowledge their feelings. As a lowly faculty assistant from my middle school once said...

(derp accidental double-post)

I'm seeing a lot of negativity. Like, WAY too much. It's 50% "OP IS FIGURING THIS OUT JUST NOW LOL I KNEW THIS WAY BACK IN THE DAY" and 50% "LOL YOUTUBE AND YOUTUBERS ARE GARBAGE LIKE DUH." Okay, now I'm going to step back and see if I can't see another angle. I get that some YouTubers...

If it were up to me: First and most importantly: Smaller scale. Keep the whole game take place on just a few planets, but make each one big and dense. Making just a few worlds feel alive, and making the PC a mover&shaker on each, will make the overall narrative feel as big as a galaxy. I...

I didn't see DeltaRune coming, either. It didn't pop up on my Steam news, and since I don't follow gaming news in general, my first exposure was when a lets-player uploaded the first segment of when they'd live-streamed it. I also like what was done with combat. The more I think about it, the...

The number of games which I've played for AN hour before saying NOPE is embarrassingly long. Yes, Dark Souls is one of them, and I just gave up on it because, well, I'm not a masochist, and I don't have the time or energy to "git gud scrub." In the spirit of Yahtzee's review, I will limit my...

A very long time ago, 13 year-old me loved him a little bit of manga. Fast-forward to today, I'm 31 with a permanent sub to Crunchyroll. But I was in Barnes & Noble the other day, and I saw some fantastic art for... titles that I can watch in anime form either now, or within the next month or...

Hey, so if nobody has mentioned it yet, try to make sure your players have a nodding understanding of their character's race and class features; if that's out of the question, you can find or create some competent characters, preferably with a few notes on their mechanics. A great shortcut I...

Good call! I played some of it on PC, it was good fun, can't wait to see how it plays on the small screen. I also picked up a pseudo- choose-your-own-adventure book/game, since I'm a gigantic D&D nerd. Keep the suggestions coming!

I've been on the go a lot more, and sometimes I just don't have data to watch funny videos or read more (insert web comic here). A very long time ago I played games on my first smart phone for exactly that reason, so I figured I'd give it a shot again. I'm looking for something that I can load...

I'm going to give Ubisoft the benefit of the doubt on this one and over-analyse this a bit. I posit that this is not a cynical cash grab, it is an inexpensive experiment to see how much people still care about the AC series. Often when a game receives a remaster/port, and that game sells...

Superman can be as strong as he wants to be; the thing I like most about him is that, aside from a few weird "characters have to be abrasive because narrative" moments, he doesn't care about being super. Dude's just a guy that wants to do as much good as he can, but still play nice with others...

So, if I'm reading this right, you're talking about games people have already bought, and then modifying core files to unlock things ordinarily behind a pay wall? As an example, the "From Ashes" DLC for Mass Effect 3 was (partially) already on the disc, meaning you would ordinarily have to pay...

I was an itty-bitty boy when Zelda: Link's Awakening came out for the big damn brick called Game Boy; I'm not even gonna try to cover for the fact that some of the music and situations scared the hell out of me, at first. I made my brother play against the bosses because the themes... Okay...

Prince of Egypt has a lot going for it, and I mean a lot. It had a fantastic soundtrack, its storytelling was top-notch, the animation was some of the best Disney would ever put forth, the songs and the dramatic cinematic composition... Okay, let's compare to the rest of the Disney...
