Man, talk about taking the largest, coarsest piece of salt one can find and gleefully shoving it into our open bleeding heart wounds.

Can confirm that this is a real trailer of the Mass Effect game that BioWare was developing up until its closure yesterday www.reddit.com/r/masseffect...

Holy shit, BioWare is gone. Logically I know practically everything about how this industry operates has changed since the studio’s heyday, but like, I’m still having a hard time wrapping my head around it. This really sucks and really, really hurts.

Happy 25th, GameCube! What a TIME. Note the overly plucked eyebrows, my (then very trendy) loft bed and the hack-job surround sound system, which I was VERY proud of. The tap light is the cherry on top.

Whatever happened, it’s refreshing to see Kojima keep it real and not immediately/eagerly echo the “but we still love and respect each other sooo much ❤️!” statement from Sony. Most of us can spot corpo sugarcoat speak from a mile away and we’re all sick of it.

Now that we've had time to watch the Ocarina of Time trailer/presentation a few thousand times, I want ALL of your thoughts. The good, the fantastic, the bad, ugly, questionable, etc. LET'S TALK SHOP

Went to PAX for the day! It was pretty shocking to see the expo hall as sparse as it was, but PAX has always been about the people and community and those vibes were awesome as ever. Kid loved it, and we now have a list of *checks notes* 14 games he wants to buy.

There are so many new and shiny games I gotta play, but for weeks I’ve been playing Waterpark Simulator with my husband and we’ve had the BEST time and the most laughs. On top of just being fun (and a good way to wind down), the ragdoll physics & absurdity of everything you can do is hilarious.

I’ve been playing Halo: Campaign Evolved with my kid and uh, I didn’t know jumping off of cliffs can be so entertaining to children. That, and blowing me up 24/7 with sticky grenades. We’re not finishing this campaign for years dude 😂

Alright y’all this current timeline we’re on had its moments but SURELY one of you has a manual save from like, I dunno, 2010-ish. Can someone kindly load that one so we can start over and delete this one?

I don't know how many times we've said it, but I'll say it again: losing these wonderfully innovative teams that dare to create something different is so detrimental, especially in a space where most "successful" games feel like they're using the same AAA formula with little variation.

Like, I can count on one hand the number of AAA blockbuster-y games I've finished since WGG wrapped. I'm just burned out on 'em. But I've been having the BEST time with the most random, unique, weird and quirky titles and I kid you not, I haven't enjoyed video games this much in a long time.
