(Okay, I am having to split this into two posts because, for the first time ever, I just got a "Client error: Post too large." message from LiveJournal when I tired to post this. Holy shit. o_O)

So. I said the previous post was going to be the only post I made about TotalBiscuit. After I had a night to sleep on it, this is a new day, so I've ( Read more... )

This game (not an Early Access game, tangentially speaking) also showed up in the very same Steam discovery queue as Rodina.

About this... well... just... just listen to this. Really. Truly. Listen to it, for as long as you might be able to stomach it. Given that it's almost two hours long, I wouldn't fault you at all for bowing out after only ( Read more... )

And now, with the inevitable removal of Learn to Counter from my Feedly list, I officially no longer follow any quasi-/pseudo-professional gaming news/blog sites whatsoever. Any awareness about future video game shit will simply come from Steam/GOG release/sale notifications, most of which I ignore anyway because very few of them tend to interest ( Read more... )

Hmm. Well, yeah.

You know, until I read the comic and the Yahoo news article linked to by that Penny Arcade blog, I'd never heard of the term "prosumer" before. I... kind of wish it had stayed that way, honestly. ¬_¬

Heard about this news first via rabbitucker over on Facebook.

I'd have probably heard it sooner, but I've pretty much stopped following to-the-minute video game news altogether, at least for the time being, now that I've removed everything but Slashdot and Learn to Counter from my feedly thing (well, andexcept for Did You Know Gaming and Zero Punctuation, ( Read more... )

You know... I kind of feel bad for Peter Molyneux. The Fable series of games aren't as bad as most people make them out to be, even if they indeed did not live up to the ludicrous promises made by Molyneux before they came out (and even if Fable III did kind of suck compared to the first two, and I kind of stopped following the series altogether ( Read more... )

Not exactly sure how this in any way constitutes "PC" or "Gaming" or especially "PC Gaming" news, PC Gamer. I don't see why anyone should give a single shit what that sellout buys with the money he got from whoring out to Microsoft. I hope this doesn't become a trend in gaming "journalism."

(EDIT) And now, the damn thing has been recreated ( Read more... )

I post this not for the article itself, but for one of the first comments underneath.

Someone posted:

So let me see if I have this straight here. Ubisoft releases a shitty, buggy, broken game which gets reviewed rather poorly, and what Ubisoft takes away from this is that there's something broken about the reviews process rather than their shitty, buggy, broken game? Sounds like a blast of hot, vacuous air to me. (Or, wait, maybe it's all just ( Read more... )

You know what? Screw it. I'm just going to post the "Tropes vs Women in Video Games" videos right here. Up to now, I'd only watched the first one back when it was first posted last year, and didn't really feel the need to watch the rest, because she wasn't telling me anything I didn't already know, but I went ahead and watched the rest of them ( Read more... )
