The "and Friends" moniker is incredibly bizarre. At least it'll help me remember which companies are still owned by king dumbass Lars Wingefors.As you said, I wish any sort of change to Embracer was b...

I was too engrossed in the game to take any action screenshots, OK?!?Note: This blog contains unmarked spoilers for Hades, as well as unmarked spoilers for the mechanics of Hades II. Story elements in...

Yeah, the Hawaiian city in Infinite Wealth is a specific area of Honolulu, but I forget the name of it. I showed the map to a coworker from Honolulu, and he immediately identified it as a real place.(...

Big Fish Theory was my 2017 Album of the Year, and it feels like that has only held up better with time. His track on Gorillaz' Humanz made me seek him out, and I immediately fell in love with his lyr...

Pictured: Embracer entering the games industry (source: news dot xbox dot com)When I started this series in 2022, it was to resurrect a defunct feature of Game of the Year discussions that I’ve enjoye...

@regularassmilk: Christ, the AV Club Kinjapocalypse is probably my biggest forums-related heartbreak of all time. The comments were so key to my enjoyment of that site, particularly for the Simpsons C...

I always saw Alex's role in this series as the Mads from Mystery Science Theater 3000. Give him an invention exchange budget and a TV's Frank to pick through his dvd collection in the background!Drake...

@efesell: Monster Hunter World, which is sitting at Very Positive (88%), has exactly 200 items listed in its DLC section on Steam. LAD: Infinite Wealth locked off NG+ in DLC and is 91% positive. Truly...

Bailey's resigned "nothing" in response to questions about what you do in Skull & Bones killed me. Maybe the Honest Game Trailer should be two minutes of deep sighing over recorded footage.

I bounced off the first game, but I'm going to buy this one. I think it was the vocation spotlight videos that really drew me into the hype, and reading several reviews (including Austin Walker's on R...

@sparky_buzzsaw: My interpretation of the question is something that really bowled you over with a game (though it can be not a game too). Probably more on the technical side of things like the op and...

Great writeup! I'm in chapter 10 currently, but the game already feels like a top 5 lock for me at GOTY time. I joined this series for LAD, and Ichiban is absolutely my main draw. But I've also been s...

Using the original intent of "gaming until it becomes A Problem for your sleep cycle", I nearly stayed up until midnight this past December playing Against the Storm. I can't remember anything beyond ...

@bigsocrates: For whatever it's worth, I disqualify winners and runner-ups from previous years from the list. Layoffs won the commenter's choice award last year and had its jersey raised to the rafter...

I've been waffling on whether or not I should add this to my running Hottest Mess list, and I think I've decided on "yes". Not for me thinking it's a hotter mess than, say, Skull & Bones, but beca...

Great writeup! I love reading about the early Final Fantasy games because IV is the first one I played. As someone who stays away from FF rankings (why yes I am an VIII freak, how did you know), I alw...

@skuski: While I appreciate the work you did finding all of this, I don't think anyone's issue was that he might be compensated more than his peers. The issue is that he makes THIS much money to lead ...
