My steam name is Pimpin Biggs. Also if anyone is looking for more players there's a great post on the Vermintide subreddit that will lead you to a Discord channel where I have found many fun players.
Often times I think that the thing more broken then any flaws video games as a medium may possess is the way we talk about video games (especially on the internet). Far too often these criticism, legitimate or otherwise, end in a needlessly cyclical shouting match about who is in the right and who is in the wrong, when often times being right or wrong is not relevant to the debate. So many of these arguments we need to have are so much more nuanced than "we are right, you are wrong" and Mr.Owens touches on some of these (you mention GG, for example) but they do little to enhance, or even detract from his overall thesis. It feels like many of the chapters are simply...there.
This is my long winded way of saying that this article is the antithesis of these online shouting matches. You have created a great example of how one can criticize an idea for it's inconsistencies or contradictions without attacking the person who made them. We're all in this hobby (more-or-less) together, and this type of rational discourse only helps to enhance the experience for everyone involved.
Hated my old job, the cooworkers were pretty much the only thing that kept me showing up. I finally took the plunge and swicthed to a new job that I love.
Monster Rancher. I don't think I've been as blown away by a gaming related gimmick as I was with "there are monsters INSIDE the CDs!". Skylanders got nothing on Monster Rancher.
Oh...also Metal Gear Solid, Spyro, Crash Bandicoot and Legends of the Dragoon.....but mostly Monster Rancher.
Probably Bloodborne because it's the only game on that list I've played. I bought the Witcher 3 and really want to play it, but after hearing it's 200 hours long, I don't think my adult-life and the completionist raging inside me are going to get along well on that one....
