I don't want to be super negative, and I think you should definitely try to pursue your goals (after perhaps scaling them back a bit), but... As in any creative medium, ideas are cheap. Dirt. Fucking. Cheap. If all you have is an idea, you have nothing. I repeat, nothing. Don't put the...

It's been only eight years since the meteor and they're already calling it "The Catastrophe"? No way, I don't buy it. People don't do shit like that. On another note: Meh. It doesn't seem to be bringing anything new to the increasingly overcrowded indie-survival table.

As someone who has tried to introduce multiple people (who had little to no experience with videogames) to gaming, I don't think Jang is treating his girlfriend like an idiot at all. There are so many things we take for granted when it comes to understanding games that even something quite...

I have done this. Bought a PS3 to play The Last of Us. Sure, there were other games on the system that looked good, but TLoU was 100% the reason I bought it. Absolutely no regrets. Best purchase I've made in years.

Slightly unrelated, but... whoever took that screenshot needs to recharge their phone right the hell now. Yes it's silly, but it gets to me, dammit.

Dayum, I wasn't expecting to be ninja'd on this one. I completely agree, and I think I love you in a totally platonic way.

No, we don't need to boycott everything that doesn't go exactly as we'd like it to. Timed exclusives happen all the time. Yes, this is a particularly big one, but it won't negatively affect anyone in the long run, and was probably a solid financial decision for a company struggling to stay in...

Well, you can all be as huffy about this reveal as you like, but I think it looks awesome. There's honestly not enough Urban Fantasy in games (Shadowrun doesn't have a monopoly on it, this isn't even remotely close to plagiarism), and the more games with a dungeon-master style component to them...

Chalk up another point for the hand-washers. Over the last couple years I've started washing my hands more and more often, to the point where I probably average 20-25 hand-washings per day. I've considered trying to ease up on it, but I figure it's not so bad as far as compulsions go.

I'm all for the GM having nigh-unlimited power to do whatever the hell they want (as GM, I'm a heavy rule-bender through and through), but there are some limitations. A critical success should be like a success, but better. There should be no circumstances under which it turns out worse than a...

Almost two months ago, I started doing P90X3 (7 days a week, no rest days) and began following the general guidelines of the diet provided. Thing is, I'm trying to gain weight, so I've had to bump up my calorie and protein consumption quite a bit (turns out I was only eating ~1,600 calories a...

Of course I have to give a shoutout to The Last of Us here. One of the best game soundtracks out there. My top spot, however, goes to The Banner Saga, because damn, that's a killer score. Months later and I still can't get it out of my head. And hell, I'll throw Brothers: A Tale of Two...

I'm not sure if it's related, as I am not familiar with the source material, but that still bears a striking resemblance to this one: Might give us some kind of clue as to what it's about if it really does draw from the same inspirational well.

Ah, then I was mistaken. It's been quite some time since I've read any champion's fluff text.

For whatever reason, I've never been a huge fan of Riot's cinematics, though I understand why a lot of people like them. That said, it was amusing that they played Ahri off as one of the 'definitively good' champions, seeing as she's essentially a soul-devouring serial killer.
