  1. Let's Draw Video Games

    New Year's Resolution.
  2. The Year of the PS3

    The tragic thing about the Year of the PS3 is that I'll probably have a PS4 to play Persona 5 on by the time it comes out here.
  3. Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

    First shiny of 2015. Female, Bold, Cloud Nine, Hyper Voice, 31/??/31/31/31/31 (Attack is between 20 and 28, not entirely sure yet) It's basically exactly what I wanted. OuO
  4. A lot of my favourite games are the ones that do tell a story, but tell a story using their own mechanics rather than ones borrowed from prose or film. The only example I can think of at the moment is Journey, which might be my personal BGOAT.
  5. 2015: Year of the PS3... and Back to the Future II

    Atlantic Time Zone wooooo
  6. Crossy Road and random level generation

    I frequently forget that we have good procedural/random level generation now and my brain instead defaults to the time I got a Persona 4 dungeon floor that was just one giant curved hallway.
  7. Actually, It's about Relocation in Games Journalism

    SIX MICROPHONES SIX THUMBS
  8. Its beginning to look a lot like GOTY

    How many awards categories can I make up and then give to Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire? I will absolutely give it a bullshit best story moment award for the crazy-ass meta shit that happens at the end of that game, in which
  9. Actually, It's about Relocation in Games Journalism

    Judging by the photos he's been tweeting of an empty studio with a bunch of microphones, it seems like he's up to some new project. ...Evil Bong the Animated Series? I'm gonna miss the secret best duder. We can only hope the eventual GBeast hire can fill his shoes.
  10. QUILTBAG Thread of Flagrant Homoeroticism

    So for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, a transgender teenager committed suicide today, an already sadly common occurrence. What makes it particularly awful is the -in all likelihood equally common- horrible way her parents have been making efforts to erase her experience and identity as well as minimize the fact that their actions are what drove her to suicide in the first place. Compare the mother's status update... ...to the actual suicide note. This sort of shit is infuriating to me.
  11. An email I sent to Giantbomb

    I like the guy, but Brad has gradually become a parody of himself. Also, I'm really, really gonna miss Patrick. He was the secret best duder and I just know a bunch of assholes on the internet are gonna consider this a "victory" for some bullshit cause.
  12. Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

    I generally prefer to breed them myself. What were you looking for in exchange? Speaking of shinies, check out this little lady's purple butt:
  13. "Ethics and Journalistic Integrity"

    8chan and GG are organizing a campaign to harass transgender tumblr users in an attempt to drive them to suicide. You know, for ethics in video game journalism!
  14. Crikey, It's Christmas (2014)!

    Rusty's Real Deal Baseball, Nintendo's weird free-to-play experiment. It's a bunch of baseball-themed minigames that you buy piecemeal (in real money) from a down-on-his luck dog, with the twist of being able to haggle with him to get lower prices. Also, between the trilogy, Dual Destinies, and the Layton crossover, the only Ace Attorney games not on the eshop are Apollo Justice and the Investigations spinoffs.
  15. "Ethics and Journalistic Integrity"

    We've reached peak "ethics" here.
  16. Movie/TV recommendations

    I made cartoons a separate thread because I like reading about them without having to dig through this thread. There's no reason not to talk about them in both threads, though.
  17. Night In The Woods

    Night in the Woods Is it wrong that I want this? Because I want this. This is kind of hitting all sorts of high points for me. Gameplay sounds like a sort of Adventure Metroidvania-ish thing, female protagonist, modern urban fantasy setting, openly gay characters, distinct NPCs, really nice stylized animation, implications of spooky-ookiness... I really want to play this game. Really, I just immediately want something to do with this particular setting, cast, tone etc to exist. An indie comic, a cartoon, whatever. The fact that it's a game is just gravy.
  18. Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

    This one was waaaaayyyyy easier: green water mouse become yellow aqua rabbit Adamant with Huge Power; 31/31/12/31/31/31. Belly Drum, Aqua Jet, Rest, and Snore. He's a pretty great bruiser! Time to update the chart!
  19. Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

    SHINY PROTEAN FROAKIE AFTER 2971 EGGS! IT'S A CRIMBUS MACKEREL! Also:
  20. Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

    Red and Blue had the EXP All, which functions the same way as the Gen VI EXP Share, so that might have something to do with it. ORAS are definitely a bit harder than X/Y by the time you get to the end (I had to refight the Champion after losing the first time), but it's a very smooth difficulty curve.
  21. Idle Santa 2014

    I got a set of Copic Markers! Like this: I've always wanted to try these, but they're ludicrously expensive. A huge thanks, Blambo!
