I haven't played it myself, but Mark Brown has some things to say about Toki Tori 2. It's a Metroidvania where you don't gain any new abilities except for your understanding of the logic of the world...

Huh, this looks surprisingly good. Impressive. Between this, Skyrim, Planescape, Baldur's Gate I+II, Divinity, Pillars of Eternity, not to mention JRPGs like a bunch of Final Fantasys, Dragon Quest...

I mean, there was definitely good stuff in the 80's. (Paul Simon's Graceland is one of my all-time favorites.) I think it's just that there's a certain definitive 80's sound that I'm not a big fan of....

@nutter: Yeah, I was mostly thinking of the hits. But I actually like a lot of the hits of the 60's or 70's.

I feel like a lot of people are going to hate me for this, but, honestly, most music from the 80's is pretty unlistenable for me. It's so overproduced. For music to be meaningful to me it has to ki...

It's interesting to see the show as a study of different types of evil. Gus's cold, calculating vengeance. Tuco's code of loyalty. The way Jesse is manipulated into murder. And of course, Walt's s...

@nutter I think he actually likes and respects Jesse, and feels a little bad about keeping him caged up. He's not cruel like his uncle - earlier he tries to stop them from hurting him for no reason. ...

What makes Todd interesting in El Camino is that we learn he does have some empathy, or at least a sense of morality - he does feel bad for killing. It's just that his guilt is not at all in proporti...

@nutter: Fair enough. (I'm not familiar with the Michael Rooker character you're referring to.) Your description of Todd is totally correct - he's like a normal person except that the part of his br...

The best feeling is in Slay the Spire when you play as the Defect and you get lots of powers and relics that feed off each other. Every time you play a power, you draw two cards, get lightning orbs, a...

By the way. Can I complain about how absolutely infuriariating it is when Netflix switches to the next thing automatically instead of letting the credits roll? Totally breaks the mood. A good movie n...

El Camino 3 / 5Breaking Bad is my all-time favorite show, and Jesse Pinkman one of the best characters, so I was looking forward to finding out how what happened to him. Without spoilers, I'll I can s...

Definitely Link's Awakening. I know LTTP is the fan-favorite, but the dungeons aren't very interesting compared to LA or later games, and it's a bit too long. Link's Awakening has a tight, perfectl...

Negative latency is a good first step. But for optimal play, the next version of their product will require imaginary latency. Soon after that we will surely see quaternionic latency.

I actually think their new statement, taken on its own, is reasonable-ish. If they had initially given this minor penalty, with a better explanation, I wouldn't be that pissed off. BUT, Brack comple...

It's an interesting question to me how Blizz could have handled this better. I actually understand why they would not want to air this kind of protest, even though I support it. Maybe if they had just...

It is well within their rights to do what they did, per the regulations. It would also be well within their rights to NOT do what they did - the regulation *specifically gives them complete discretion...

I enjoyed what I read of House of Leaves, but I abandoned it halfway through. It is very self-indulgent. Everything with Will Navidson was fascinating, but I was exhausted with all the other stories. ...

Wow, there's a lot of love for Rogue Legacy here. I found it very mediocre. Pretty standard jumping and slashing bits with nothing unique to keep me going, other than the 'legacy' bit of changing up p...

Despite how many games I've played over my lifetime, I'm struggling to think of a single series where I've beaten all the entries (not counting series of only two games, like Half-Life, Portal) The cl...
