Pushing back against AI means pushing back against AI upscailing in games. I paid for all those polygons, I want to see ‘em.

One of the sports gambling apps that sponsors all of the YouTube shows had an ad saying it now allows users to gamble to win Pokemon cards, in case you were wondering how things are going

Everybody knows someone who bought a copy of Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions for the iPhone

the kids are getting way into Too Human

If Biddy Blas was from New York, he would say “Bing Bong, Pookie.”

Ah hello! Was it you who rang the Bell of Awakening?

I didn’t know that Ken Kutaragi made the SNES sound chip. That’s cool as hell

they’re making a new Ouendan and, yep, you guessed it; it’s horny now

It’s not fair to get Justice to write an original soundtrack for your game. That’s cheating

Still thinking about that mission in Star Wars Zero Company where you have to keep your team pushing forward as the stage gets progressively strafed by Starships. One of the best levels of the year.

The true Microsoft Teams experience

say what you will about Microsoft Teams

Also, I played the original Onimusha for the first time. What a cool game! I wish the new Onimusha had as much sauce as this first game does. There’s nothing in the new game that hits like that moonlight duel on the top of the palace.

My terrible students won’t stop talking about Biddy Blas. I was teaching class last week and I asked one of the boys to recite the quadratic formula and he shouted “SCRIB DOOON” and threw a graphing calulator at me

The mythology of RE2’s development is very funny in retrospect. “This team made the bold decision to throw away the game they were building and start again from scratch. And so RE2’s development period extended from one year to an unfathomable…two years.”

This is the craziest sequel announcement of the year, nothing is even close

Silent Hill 2 & 3 often get held up as some of the best looking games ever made for the PS2, but I don’t think I appreciated what an incredible looking game Silent Hill 1 was. Frame rate issues aside, that game is a PS1 stunner.

Deadlock resists traditional MOBA character archetypes with some of the most imaginative, inspired designs of any game in the genre, but don’t get it twisted; they’re still going to add a Sun Wukong

If they made a Star Wars golfing game I would probably name my character Jar Jar Links. Or maybe Jabba the Putt.

Played a game of Deadlock yesterday. It was awesome. I’m thinking I’m back

That’s why you should have gotten into video games, Pauline. Because up here, things are just getting better and better!

Maybe I haven’t done enough of these “multi-campaign” Fire Emblems before, but the fact that there’s almost no difference in each character’s part 2 campaigns in story or gameplay—and the fact that they’re sooooo long—is going to cause me to burn out before seeing the end.

good post

They should make a new Pokken game. Pokken was cool.

When you think about it, Duke Nukem Forever wasn’t in development for that long

I haven’t played Deadlock in four months? But I see that update and those new characters and my heart swelled, god damn, Valve are the best character designers in the business right now

Almost Famous but it’s about teenagers breaking into E3 in the early 90s to cover video games. The legendary, mythical moments of the early games industry woven into a story of self-discovery and young love over one unforgettable week in LA. I smell Oscar.

Since when does Steam give a front page banner takeover for a Pre-Purchase? Good for Ace Combat, but that’s a new one

Actually a genius idea

Persona 4 was initially released In Dec 2008. The 360 had already been out for 3 years. I don’t think I appreciated that at the time.

Onto a second campaign in Fire Emblem and early thoughts: if you’re going to pick one of the morally compromised ladies, go with Leda over Theodora, because at least she has more aura.

I know what you’re thinking and I’m just going to say it; yes, there’s never been a better time to get into Xenoverse 2

Guy who calls Sekiro an Activision game

Well, Uno didn’t come free with MY Xbox

It’s not about what I think of the new Fire Emblem. It’s about what the Fire Emblem Influencers think about the new Fire Emblem.
