I haven't heard the Bombcast episode, but this is the kind of out-of-context shit I'm here for.

Whether Wizards has lost players or not, they're doing the right thing. I haven't followed the game in about 10 years, but it's reassuring to see Mark responding like this.

After waning interest in VR, Rock Band VR reminded me that the format can produce awesome moments.

Hey everyone,

Seems like a few of these have been popping up. I looked a few pages deep and didn't see one for the NYC area, so I figured I'd start one.

My proposal: Barcade in Williamsburg, Friday afternoon.

We can drink beer, play games, and share our favorite Ryan stories. I know I could sure use this at the end of this shitty week.

Please respond if interested. If it looks like enough people are gonna show up, I'll edit this post with more info.

This is incredibly helpful.

Great little piece. Since I don't use Twitter, I would have never known. Don't stop the great reporting on such an important issue.

Thanks for noting the Frank and Cox articles. They were great reads.

I know Vinny mentioned it on the Bombcast, but I haven't heard it anywhere else.

Has anyone else read the book? And if you have, are you getting the illest Ready Player One vibe from everything that's happening with the game and the community? It's exciting just how similar it is to the book--the whole "community coming together" business. Even the leaderboard situations are similar, with people freaking out over those who have the highest percentages, wondering whether they're using glitches or not.

Overall, I'm enjoying Fez's metagame as much as I enjoyed the game. And I can't wait until the final (?) puzzle is solved.

Just adding to the gripes. It's the matchmaking, and it's horrible on Steam. There have been plenty of times when the lobby has had eight or more people and then just resets itself for no apparent reason. Ditto on the unbalanced teams also.

At the end of the day, I'm just glad they're online somewhere. Still, the almost nonexistent possibility of getting them on Steam with retroactive achievements similar to Psychonauts makes my mouth water.
