@wollywoo: Thanks. I agree with your points as well. Luckily for me, I can resist using fast travel, so I'm happy to have it in games for those who like it. When it comes to quest logs, I really wish ...

Everything Jeff and Vinny said they dislike about Breath of the Wild on the most recent HotSpot. I love games that deliberately slow down the pace of play. I don't like power fantasies that much; hav...

I like all video games except country and rap.

Hey Vinny. I have a degree in Gender, Sexuality and Culture and I'm working on my PhD. You're alright at this stuff. You do something a lot of people don't with your coverage: you're aware of your own...

Point of pedantry: Subnautica's world is fully 'bespoke' as well, the only thing that is randomised is where you start in the shallows.

Jan, Gohan TOTALLY encounters a robot in the original cut of DBZ. It leads to a tragic tale of friendship and loss. I'm shocked by this robo-erasure.

@wrofir:I don't think that the divisiveness itself is a problem, I just think that most reviews have failed to separate Kojima himself from his fan base. All of Kojima's games are self-mocking through...

I feel like I'm a little disappointed with Giant Bomb's coverage of this whole thing. Now, given the fact that there's no way I can divorce myself from the fact that I am a fan of most of Kojima's wor...

I really need to see the story in this game for myself--I have incomplete data! I feel like I usually disagree with Jeff and Ben on narrative decisions in the hardest possible way, but Jeff seems to u...

This seems like an instance of personality-driven gaming journalism functioning as intended. I love it when a game sends Jeff into an endearing little spiral because it's often a good sign that I'll e...

Speaking of bad, neck related shit, I have a great personal story. Warning, medical nightmare ahead: SPOILER It actually didn't bother me at all, but the experience will definitely stick with me. Not...

@chode-talker said:@purpleoddity: Not gonna quote the whole thing, but your last comment here was excellent to read. It gives me a lot of hope to see these topics discussed with such nuance in any ga...

You don't really need to bathe kitties unless they're unable to groom themselves for some reason. We only started bathing our cat this year and he's 16--he's old, grumpy and smelly.

@mrfluke said:@purpleoddity: Your saying there are scenes in Witcher 3 that exist for the sake of being horny? other than the romance scenes can you point me to a example thats super out of place? (I...

@fedallah said:@mrfluke: "Abby's searing hatred for the female body once again prevents her from enjoying a great game. It's nice to be against objectifying people but Christ."That was a few comments...

What a weird and uncomfortable tone at the start of this week's podcast. Dan's snarky DS talk, Abby's problem with The Witcher 3 kinda going unremarked upon, and whatever that weird beef Jeff and Dan ...

@Sintes I meant postmodern in the context of political philosophy. There’s debate on the subject, of course, but it’s usually a bit better thought out than ‘lol crazy.’ I spent some time in art school...

@drachmalius: It's odd that we don't seem to afford game creators the same degree of freedom and respect as authors--we don't tend to call writers self-indulgent for telling the story they want to tel...
