    Games you restricted yourself from due to negative criticism

    According to the OP, the post is supposed to be about games you restricted yourself from due to criticism before eventually buying them and finding out they're actually good. Not games you're never buying because of the criticism. (I know I'm basically playing thread police here, just think the...

    Hacker Gets The Fabled "Nintendo PlayStation" Working

    The CD part didn't function yet then, only the SNES port. They've actually got the disc drive working now and playing homebrew games.

    Poll: Justice League Unlimited: Should Hawkgirl Have Been Let Back On The Team?

    Minor correction: Not probably, definitely. The episode Hunter's Moon confirmed that the betrayal led to the Thangarians losing the war.

    Games that peaked too soon

    (minor spoilers) Transformers Devastation tops that later with the fight against Devastator and Menasor at the same time, and the final fight with Megatron manages to feel pretty climactic due to the awesome music and dialogue. Also IMO the fights with Blitzwing and Shockwave are more...

    Well THAT was a shift!

    (NOTE: I might be misremembering some of this since it's been a while since I watched Season 1, I just wanted to correct you cause I really like this show and think you should give it another shot.)

    Parts of games you found easy that others found hard.

    To be fair about MGR, the game does a really bad job of teaching you the parry in the main game. If you skip the optional tutorial, it just tells you to "throw out your own barrage of light attack while your foe is on the offensive", with no mention of timing or pressing the analog stick in the...

    The Live-Action Ghost in the Shell Now Has a Trailer

    Minor correction: Ready Player One isn't really cyberpunk from what I remember of the book. (And if the movie feels cyberpunk then that's an adaptation thing.) I'm not sure what subgenre I'd say it is.

    NES Classic Struggles With Supply, Out of Stock Almost Everywhere

    Nintendo doesn't have the rights to every NES game, they would have had to negotiate with a ton of other developers to get them on there.

    Overranking

    I'm pretty sure they were making fun of the people who use that insult judging by the comic's tone (note: I'm diagnosed autistic myself)

    id Software's History Parallels the Seven Ages of Man and the History of PC Gaming

    The only Wolfenstein games made by id are 3D and Spear of Destiny, the rest are other developers.

    Life Is Strange Live-Action Series Announced

    To be fair about the dialog, I've heard the slang is actually pretty realistic for the Pacific Northwest, it just sounds weird to everyone else.

    2K Finally Announces Bioshock: The Collection

    I love that they're giving PC players the upgraded versions for free. Gives me a reason to finally get around to finishing 2.

    Repeatedly Leaving Competitive Overwatch Games Could Get You Banned for the Whole Season

    The point of competitive play is that it's meant to be for when you want to take the game seriously and have a lot of free time on your hands (each individual match can last up to 20 minutes, even longer if Overtime goes on forever like it sometimes does in really close matches). This penalty...

    Over(50)Watch

    Her comic on the OW site seems to hint that she has some kind of mental disorder as well, probably autism but it's not clear. So she counts twice. (Which makes the fact that one of her lines is "the enemy of humanity is disorder" kinda funny)

    Zero Punctuation: Overwatch vs Battleborn

    Just adding this link because he does a really good job explaining it. I know the vid's super long, but half of it is necessary-ish background stuff about animation and pose design. I will admit that Blizzard's orginal response felt like it was deliberately trying to get good guy points, but I...
