I played that six hour long "closed beta" they had a month or two ago. I put that it quotes because it was really easy to get into, you just had to watch someone stream it on Twitch for a few hours. I...

A few years ago, I read House of Suns by Alastair Reynolds. It's largely a murder mystery set against an extreme far future backdrop in which groups of essentially immortal humans traverse the galaxy ...

Absolutely incredible writing and a great list. I immediately purchased Heaven's Vault (I am an historian with no skill for languages, and I love science fiction so this game seems like pure wish fulf...

@shindig: I'm not saying they should be prevented from running it. I just think it's extremely shitty to do so.@bigsocrates:This is nothing like saying that the NYT is keeping government secrets. This...

@bigsocrates said:No journalist has a responsibility to help a game company hide elements of its game. And while secrecy might make sense when you have a big twist most games aren't like that at all....
-
@bigsocrates: Time and time again, we've seen developers get harassed when leaks like this happen. That isn't the fault of journalists, but it ought to be a consideration at the very least.I think the...
-
I've been saying this for years--Jason Schreier even blocked me on Twitter for saying that reporting leaked/unfinished art was not journalism.
-
I'll second this. They haven't been working for me for a couple of months at this point.
-
Fan theories and reinterpretations tend to be uninteresting, uninformed, and frankly bad. Media literacy and critique is a real thing--and everyone's own experiences and values will change how they in...

@bigsocrates: You're not the only one who feels that way. I played TLoU for the first time in 2020, as everyone was playing TLoU 2. It was an incredible game. But I felt like that was all I needed fro...

Every single time I try to open a forum post after coming to Giant Bomb on my phone, I'm hit with a full-screen ad that doesn't load properly. There are ads on podcasts and my Kindle. The internet bro...

Humans have been remixing and retelling and adapting stories for as long as we've been telling stories. This is why I don't automatically hate remakes and adaptations. The thing that annoys me is when...

I'd never really put it into words like this before, but I think this sums up why the awards show doesn't just feel bad, it feels gross.Keighley is utterly obsessed with proving that video games are "...
-
@av_gamer: People call him out every single year for his devotion to celebrities and advertisements. Talking (well-deserved) shit about Keighley after the awards is a time honored tradition. Alex Nava...

Alanah Pearce correctly said that the celebrity appearances reeked of starfucking.Geoff Keighley is an absolute fucking embarrassment to this industry. He's like a perpetual child who was made fun of ...

I voted for Embracer, Unity, and Silent Hill: Ascension. What a year.

Mentioning Elden Ring in this conversation doesn't make sense. Elden Ring's open world is not a "twist." The game's open world was an explicitly stated and talked about feature more than a year and a ...
-
I think this is the year that I agree with most of the awards. I love Baldur's Gate 3, and while I haven't played any Alan Wake game, I just finished Control for the first time. It's really great to ...

Say what you will about the ads. I, for one, am happy that Fandom cares enough to heavily advertise for an anti-vaping campaign.

@allthedinos: There is an option under gameplay settings to auto-select your character after combat ends. This usually, although not always, makes it so that your character is the one initiating conve...
