I’m doing what now

Given time and resources, most outlets should probably re-review GAAS over time. But that caveat makes it impossible for most.

But otherwise, I don't think this Marathon one is particularly out-of-pocket. Servers weren't up early for reviews, so there wasn't anything to even review today.

I don't think this is weird? There's a suggestion with the code to consider the second content drop in the review. It's not embargo-related at all. They or anyone could put out a review right now.

I think they're going to have a hell of a time explaining what this is or why it's going to cost a rack.

I don't know that I would have the patience to beat Maniac Mansion NES with a guide.

These morons don't actually play games.

Don't worry, it always comes back within an hour.

I'd normally be rushing to play some Marathon but I have been informed it's not a sprint so I am taking my time pacing myself

One time I kept repeating the word "Wegs" back to him and he would just say "Wegs" again because he was trying to get "Legs" across and eventually he just sighed and went "You don't know what you're talking about."

He'd be a good reviewer, I think.

Miyamoto: When pornography escalates, it eventually crosses into the grotesque. I think the world of "hidden secrets" in games has almost reached that same grotesque level. It's reached a point where it isn't measured by common sense anymore. It's just people getting bored and looking for stronger and stronger stimulation. We've hit a wall. When you're at the point where you have no choice but to go "grotesque," you have to start thinking of new ways to use the medium.

So a thing I have been thinking about

Control: Resonant's premise is that the Hiss have broken out and containment in The Oldest House did not work. Did they accidentally write in the failure of FBC: Firebreak??

AC Unity was one of the most disappointing games I've ever played. I hope people who play it now like it more.

You have to remember that every single person in that world has Trauma and that appealing to authority has usually resulted in not being murdered.

I suppose you could make arguments for Zelda or Metroid II but I don’t think either of them is the worst anything.

An underrated bit of storytelling in AEW at the moment is that MJF came back ready to take down all the main eventers but is barely scraping by with the younger guys like Bandido, Brody, and Knight.

Guessing that interview a few weeks ago about how WWE’s top card is all old was partially kayfabe.

If you're in the game industry and use LinkedIn, please do me a favor and share my post about Sentona Games screwing me out of money I'm owed. Thank you

Okay clarification needed: when you say it must be the second game, does it count if there were like spinoffs between the first and second that still factor into the main story

Execs make more sense when you consider they’re just people that called the coin flip right enough times in a row until they get into a position where it no longer matters if you call it right or not anymore.

My grandpa worked at Gandhi's law firm and they were pretty good friends, or so I'm told.
