Let's step away from the current hot-button topic that are racial dynamics in America That was a fantastic summary of Robespierre, Sub, but since what we're talking about is a black servant woman leading an uprising against a white evangelical power structure that has fetishized Americana into a re...

I think some of the contributors to the podcast will feel a certain amount of trepidation at seeing my name contributing to this thread, given the things I've said about BioShock Infinite in the past. Now, don't get me wrong: I do believe BioShock Infinite is a bad game. But I admit I haven't been a...

02/01: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past [SNES Classic] 04/01: Oxenfree [Switch] 13/01: Axiom Verge: Multiverse Edition [Switch] Really liked the character designs in this. The Sudras were really cool, sinister in appearance but actually very sympathetic and human in their action. I kept expe...

I don't know if you already know, but there are narrative alterations in subsequent playthroughs. It's small stuff - nothing Nier level - but it really does add something. I loved the twist and so might be biased on the additional story nuggets, but even so it might be worth keeping a hold of your ...

02/01: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past [SNES Classic] 04/01: Oxenfree [Switch] I'm really not sure why I don't pounce on these styles of games as soon as they get released, because I always enjoy them. I characterized it to a friend as "Everybody's Gone To The Rapture without being so ...

You think a gaming laptop is going to help you when Steam Sales exist?

Part of the reason my "backlog" is so large is for most of the 2000s I was explicitly collecting with little intention of actually playing . Most of my "backlog" is videogames from 80s and 90s consoles. I actually do a pretty good job of keeping up on new games as I buy them. Not...

I also recently cut out all my PS+ Instant Games Collections which really cut down my numbers, but my total is still at... 344?

Thank you.

It's probably a confluence of factors that makes me feel so positively towards it, which means my opinion of it is likely to change significantly over time. First, I'm a huge fan of the series already and predisposed towards liking them (though, admittedly, the last few entries probably would not ha...

Thanks for putting this late enough in the year that we can play the PS4 remake first!

When I was a child, I would often sit in my brother's room and watch him play videogames. One day, he played something I'd never seen before. Everything about it was a little bit "off." An eerie silence filled each room of a mansion suffused by stillness and dread, interrupted only by door...

02/01: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past [SNES Classic] Twenty minutes shy of finishing it on the first as I wanted to... ah well. Started at 7:50 pm, 100% finished twenty minutes after midnight... not quite a speed run, but I'm happy with being able to do that from memory for a game I play on...

The C&R episode on this one gives a really well rounded view of Uncharted 4, and my opinion falls somewhere in the middle - technically brilliant, with some great storytelling and stellar performances, but Naughty Dog maybe should have shown a little self restraint as Uncharted’s gameplay loop ...

I've played this, but it was so long ago I didn't think I could write anything that was "true" to my experience. Sorry.
