I don’t feel like any translation will fix the predictable, overly cliched and incredibly cheesy story that is Fire Emblem Fates. Read more

If it was 90s I’d be pissed but now games are getting translation from wonderful teams like 8-4 that punch up the script rather than making a flat robot translation like they used too. Read more

Lords of the Fallen is definitely worth checking out for a kind of arcadey Dark Souls esque thing. Didn’t review too well but I enjoyed it anyway. Read more

That press conference happened right smack in the middle of finals of my Freshman Year of College. I went crazy for an hour and the feeling of utter hopelessness vanished. The world was right again, Zelda was going realistic. I got a 3.2 GPA that semester while carrying 19 credits, I’ve always felt that that press Read more

Yey I always like hearing about pro gamer trans women. A friend and I went to PAX South this year and I was surprised how big of a presence it seemed there was of trans women, despite our relatively small percentage of the population.

I admit without shame that I did not figure that one out on my own. There are 4 or 5 puzzles throughout the island including this one for which I found help, and I’m ok with that. Read more

It’s funny how the words “refocusing”, “reorganizing”, “restructuring” and “realigning” always translates to lots of people losing their jobs. Read more

Devs: Please bring more split screen support to PC. It’s a hugely neglected feature and plenty of people run their PCs like gaming consoles anymore. Read more

Catherine really does hit eerily close to home. The questions they ask really can lead you to an “ending” similar to what you experienced in real life. During a major break up I had a few years back, I realized my Catherine ending played out very similarly to the real events of my life.

Basically, I was didn’t fight Read more

Just a note, Catherine is currently on PSN for $10, and there is even a demo. I know there are bunch of people out there who haven’t played it. If you like one or all of these things (Troy Baker, puzzles, unforgiving and rewarding gameplay, narritive affected by player choice, and heart patterned underwear) Why are Read more

The have long said they intend to make Windows a unifying platform for all Microsoft products. This doesnt surprise me at all. This is one of the best moves they have ever come up with. Read more

I was getting some hiccups on the PC version yesterday, but there was a patch after I stopped playing so maybe they tuned it up. Read more

Bungie should do a competition like this! Read more
