I am honestly shocked that it took this long for me to find a reviewer to make what I thought was the obvious comparison to Spore. Once again, I have wasted my life trusting anyone who doesn't offer their worldview through 2D stop-motion. But seriously, how has the "NMS = SporeCraft"...

Thanks, Tom. It was a banner day at the Saltlympics, as Saltmerica pulled off a trifecta of medals in the 100m, 200m, and 500m umadbro dash. Not to be outdone, Saltaly surprised more than a few onlookers with a podium finish in the pole salt. And now, here's Debbie with your weekly health news.

I can still feel the heat of the woodstove making the playroom almost unbearable as I sweated through Lion King on Genesis as a kid. Nostalgia mode ACTIVATE

Somehow I think the reported 47mil people in the login queue had more to do with the server issues than alleged hackers.

Hear, hear. I managed to solve my woes with Chroma Squad during the Steam Summer Sale. Exactly what we want, plus tactical sprite combat!

More fantasy settings need to provide cabbage dragons for those vegetarian dragon-slayers.

I so, so want to believe that "Althea" is a call-out to Althena from Lunar. I doubt it, but I can dream!

$40mil, you say? So, all Dungeon Defenders II DLC is now free forever, right?

Having watched Christopher McDonald absolutely tear it up as Hon. Judge Don Schakowsky on "The Good Wife", I can realistically see him putting a solid stamp on JJJ. Beyond him, J.K. Simmons owned that role so wholly and completely that the bar is near-impossibly high for a non-Simmons replacement.

"...the oddball comedy stars The Office alum 'as a woman'..." You may have forgotten to put Ellie Kemper's name in there.

100% on board with you. Cities: Skylines eked out Pillars of Eternity for my personal GOTY, which is no small feat considering how much love I have for Infinity engine-era games. C:S hooks me in for hours at a time in a way not seen since my ongoing Football Manager addiction.

Is this any better or worse than HAWKEN? That scratched my itch for PvP robot combot and then some.

Well, no, obviously Wasteland is not Fallout. Wasteland is Wasteland. Fallout is a 1950's pulp-sci-fi Wasteland.

The extended character creation that was Fallout 3's first level/scene still ranks in my mind as a pretty darn good setup for the game that follows. Capping the whole thing off with a "first-time-seeing-sunlight" fade into the devastation of the Capitol Wasteland was just sublime.

Good. Continue making quality X-COM games, Firaxis. Anyone who would pretend to the Gollop throne had better bring their A-game. You're 2-for-2 so far - let's see if you can make it a treble...
