Gotta admit, I was skeptical of the format, but it totally works. Very informative and entertaining to boot. I can't wait for next week (even if it doesn't bring hot scoops).

I’d hate to get sappy but I need to get this off my chest. I’ll be brief. There were times I don’t think I would’ve gotten through if not for this site. The period after Ryan’s passing coincided with ...

Is this game rogue-like or rogue-lite?

I voted for Doom Eternal, but Kentucky Route Zero is definitely the best thing I played all year. I forgot that it came out this year. It feels so long since I played it even thought I didn't finish i...

I felt like his music was off-kilter enough that it would stand out if compared against other (?) metal soundtracks. I liked the music in Doom 2016, it helped define what that game was (at least for m...

The reputation surrounding the Souls games made me ignore them for so long. The first Souls gameplay footage I've seen was the Dark Souls QL (with Rorie, Vinny, and Brad) sometime after it came out.It...

It's been great so far. There's something consolatory to seeing others trying to work from home. The content itself has been better than I could've imagined. I feel like we've been spoiled for choice....

I played through the entirety of Kentucky Route Zero leading up to Doom's release. I'm surprised by how little discussion there had been of the game in these forums. I'm aware the first four acts came...

Great review, Brad. I wish this game had the wider appeal of the previous one. Eternal is definitely an ambitious game, but a messy one as a result; though I'll always take that over an iterative sequ...

It's cool when the crew is championing a game you're enjoying, but it's arguably more valuable when someone has an opinion different from yours or that of the mainstream. The staff's diversity (at lea...

The only point in the game where I found myself neither engaged nor actively having fun for a significant length of time is the final level. After a typically thrilling first encounter, everything goe...

@bhlaab: I get what you're saying, but in practice, that translates to having weapons that are either all-rounders or easy to master without any quirks to work around. The difficulty setting I'm playi...

@jesus_phish said: @militantfreudian said: At least in this way, Eternal has the same sensibilities as say, Sekiro: both demand you play them the "right" way. And since, for me, it feels goods and loo...

I realized after replaying Doom 2016 last year that part of why I loved it was its novelty, which, to me, masked some of the game's flaws. They were definitely more noticeable and felt on a second pla...

I preferred the side with no filling so I'd sometimes twist it, eat the less tasty one with the filling, then the plain one. Otherwise, I'd eat it in one bite, or rarely dip it in milk. I used to have...

My parents had a low opinion of video games as a hobby, so I was always reluctant to ask them for money to buy games, which is why I tended to replay games often and gravitated toward lengthier games ...

This video all but alleviated the concerns I had after the delay. It looks like Doom, except better, and there's more of it.
