Maybe I'm particularly biased in this instance considering I just recently wrote a piece for VICE Gaming, but I've been a fan of the site for over a year now, primarily because they put out consistently great stuff. That should continue and only begin to get better and bigger now that there's more than one, single person running the show (especially when those people are Austin and Patrick atop everything Mike Diver has done). I'm surprised to see a few people deriding the current state of the site. As a fan, I'm excited to see it grow.

Glad you're feeling better.

I'd like to nominated my Jeff Gerstmann vs The Birds video for next week: http://www.giantbomb.com/far-cry-4/3030-46310/forums/jeff-gerstmann-vs-the-birds-1499599/#22

Inspired by the Quick Look, I hastily put this together.

Little late to the party but I wrote this.

I shot Maurice for exactly the same reasons. The choice was never an option of being good or bad, it was the games way of asking if you would adhere to its storytelling and continue Aiden's characterisation as a merciless bastard or make a choice he never would. Of course I shot him, because that's the only thing Aiden would have ever done. There was no choice, just an illusion of one, and picking anything else would have been lying to myself.

Aiden is a criminal who's painted as a hero by bad writing. I would have liked Watch Dogs a lot more if they fully embraced his criminality but they try to brush it under the rug even when it's shooting you directly in the face. Nothing is ever his fault except it always is. Everything bad that ever happens to anyone he loves is a direct result of his actions, but the game never makes him accept his role in any of it. The narrative would have been infinitely more interesting if it ever did.

Collateral had super loud gun shots in the cinema.

I would like to join the "bah! I live in the UK" brigade. That Associate Editor role is basically my dream job.

The part where it's rape.

Finished it the other day. Took 39 hours and I think I was around level 140. Stuck with the Drangleic Sword ever since I got it super early on. Just upgraded it to +5 and that was good enough for me. Beat every boss minus the Ancient Dragon and I think there's another you have to be in a particular covenant for, or something?
