I am not distracted. He is a racist & a pedophile & a con man & a thief & a rapist & a wannabe dictator & I can see them all at the same time b/c they're all part of the one monstrous, disgusting whole. Stop telling me not to be distracted by one side of a polyhedron of evil. I see it all.

I got the main 4 endings on Silent Hill f, I’m almost done with Resident Evil VII, and I’ll be playing through RE Village before buying Requiem. I’m also playing Dark Rites of Arkham.
What time of year is it??

Covering this for an upcoming Patreon episode. Hadn’t seen it in over 10 years and it’s still an incredible gut punch of a film. Happy Valentine’s!

I think Hunter’s Gathering is a HUGE mistake, especially if it means that Guerrilla isn’t currently working on the final chapter of Aloy’s story.

As someone who LOVES Horizon and HATES how often it gets dunked on for *checks notes* releasing near other great games I think the push to release as many spinoffs as possible will only add to said dunking on.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Was hoping that Return to Silent Hill would be awful in a spectacular way, but instead it’s just boring and poorly acted. Felt like an official amusement park ride

I don’t think I’m going to be around a lot longer. It’s just this gut feeling that I have. It’s one of the reasons I’m working on what amounts to a memoir in podcast form.
I just hope I’m able to finish it.

My doctor says I can’t read BigNerdGaming anymore because of what it does to my blood pressure
After doing my top 10 video game conclusions last week, I naturally started thinking about my top 10 intros.

I wrote a PlayStation fanzine when I was 16, and it was highly inspired by the hyperbolic writing found in Diehard Gamefan magazine. Funny how I cringe reading this but agree with multiple points:

Looking at photos from when I was in my early 20s and I was so convinced that I was MASSIVE. Just the fattest man to ever live. And I look so slender back then. My dad really did a number on me, and I’ve never recovered from it
