"I LOVE being a dick to children"

- Dan Ryckert

Huh, wasn't expecting this. It's a pity, because what I saw of that FMV was really "good", so maybe I'll just watch some more of that on Youtube.

This seems pretty cool! But, like Left 4 Dead, I imagine it's very much a gamble when playing with people you don't know.

Not gonna lie, I have only the faintest idea of who Elvira is. Yes, I was born in the 90s, why do you ask?

Always good to have some more Encyclopedia Bombasticas out there. Actraiser is a super neat game that I'm pretty sure I beat on the Wii Virtual Console. The individual platforming and strategy parts aren't amazing on their own but they work together very well.

Boy, I'm just gonna steer clear of any Witcher talk in these comments, aside from saying that Giant Bomb and RPGs have never meshed all that well outside of super broad stuff like Mass Effect 2 and Bethesda Softworks games. And that's okay.

I will say that I love the idea of them reading old emails out of context. It sounds exceptionally dumb in a way I can get behind.

Well done Dan! You've done it with time to spare! I've finished... like two games this month! I'm also bad at managing my time when it comes to these things.

Phantasmagoria 2 is a magical sort of terrible. I wouldn't mind them picking it back up, but I appreciate the idea of doing a new game every week.

You underestimate the tenacity of people with plenty of time on their hands and an axe to grind. While those measures might work on a small scale for people like us, if you're a Zoe Quinn or an Anita Sarkeesian and have a loosely-organized group of assholes trying to make your life miserable those measures are inadequate.

The good thing about articles like these is that they remind me that the shitty stuff from last year hasn't actually gone away, it's just been clamped down on the sites that I read.
