MEATBALL

I honestly give zero shits about Japanese dubs, I'd rather just have an english dub - typically I even prefer an English dub even when the voice acting is awful.

The sort of changes we've seen made in some games as they've made their way to the West haven't really bothered me. I'd probably prefer nothing was really changed, but it's also not something that gets under my skin.

If you're going to do anymore I'd love to see VR Will Smith. >.>

Yeah, this is definitely something I considered. I also thought that perhaps it was all another stage of a grand experiment? But it's probably more that they were trying to recapture LIMB-O.

Here's a dumb idea: Inside is a prequel of sorts to Limbo, and Limbo is the boy's experience in the afterlife, or perhaps a dreamstate entered once he joined the hive-mind. This doesn't match up with Limbo boy's sister, though. :P

The alternate ending is interesting. I wonder if it's just a fun metaphor for the player playing the game, or if it's straight up meant to tell you that the boy was just another mind-controlled zombie. Perhaps the boy was an escaped experiment in living human mind control gone wrong as the boy battles the mind control with his own free will?

Perhaps this world is post-apocalyptic alien invasion with scientists trying to replicate the abilities of alien organisms. Or instead could the world be being run by these aliens as they experiment with organisms from their own world, significant portions of the human population being their guinea pigs (perhaps those that're dead? With those that survived working for them lest they become dead mind-controlled zombies?) Maybe the boy was fighting said mind control and had the goal of getting inside and freeing LIMB-O.

But then what happened with the boy being pulled under by the underwater creature? It's probably safe to assume at that point the boy died, and was then granted the technology to use mind control without a cap. If the boy is dead at that point, though, he's probably not exhibiting any more free-will. If he's being controlled by those running the experiment he probably wouldn't be breaking in to free LIMB-O. Was it all some sort of rebellion controlled from the safety of the alternate ending's vault?

Whatever we're supposed to make of the story, Playdead certainly enjoy commenting on the player's role of control in a videogame.

Sorry if none of this makes sense, it's all written off the cuff as I think about it, with little time given to flesh things out or make sense of it all.

Deus Ex Mankind Divided is definitely the next game to come out that I'm excited for. I thought Human Revolution (which I played through on the 360 when it was released) was pretty damn great and I've come to appreciate it more as time's gone on. I'm really digging the look of Mankind Divided, it's looking like it'll be a great sequel. I might prioritise a playthrough of the Director's Cut WiiU from my backlog in the leadup.

The other games on the way this year that I'm really looking forward to in the order of their release:

• Forza Horizon 3
• Paper Mario Colour Splash (I loved Sticker Star, I'm sorry :P )
• The Last Guardian
• Dishonored 2
• South Park The Fractured But Whole
• Gravity Rush 2 (hope it'll get a release date soon - Gamescom?)

Of those it's Dishonored 2 that I'm the most hyped for.

Broken Matt Hardy is the best.

A crazy part of me wants to buy it on both. I'll likely wait and see how things shake out technically. If the NX version has a smoother framerate (I don't mind if it remains at 30, just don't give me any dips) and runs at a higher resolution I'm on board - that's not to say that's what my NX purchase hinges on, though.

I have both Plus and Gold. My satisfaction with the games offered every month varies (it doesn't help that some of the better ones are games I already own, but whatever). I'm generally happy with both services, and it doesn't really bother me to shell out for a year's subscription for each service every 12 months.

Wrestling is over, man.

That t-shirt is so awful that I kind of want to buy it.

There's not really anything I'm hyped for at the moment. Seeing Zelda be an actual game should be cool, the same goes for Horizon Zero Dawn. Anything Rockstar would be awesome, but I'm not hyped for it given that it could very easily not be there.

God I want to see this guy hold the WWE World Heavyweight Championship one day. (Though as long as he continues to get good air time, promos, matches and opportunities to do this I'll also be happy)
