My brain is completely poisoned by too much internet and too many bad video games.

If, for some reason or another, you want to hear more of what I think about various different video games, I write little reviews up for just about everything I play these days over on Backloggd:

Fair warning that I have very questionable taste and opinions.

ff17 has to have a cool woman with a gun as the protagonist again its been too long. for like a decade if you bought a final fantasy game there was a 50% chance it starred a cool woman with a gun. but square abandoned the true path

A major antagonist dies in the guilty gear pachinko machine and is never mentioned again

The machine has a built in ash tray
After "film trilogy that dropped a critical plot point exclusively via timed Fortnite event" and "video game series whose story only makes sense if you're aware of the events of a canon pachinko machine", I feel like there are whole frontiers of user-hostile narrative design waiting to be explored.

Soulja Boy makes fun of Braid on September 16, 2008. Awareness of indie gaming begins growing at an exponential rate

if we're going to be out here saying the 360 is twenty years old then we need to confront the fact that the last time anyone had any new ideas in the AAA space was 2008

Insane achievement!! I've always thought Arcade Pit was ahead of its time stream-gimmick-wise and generally underappreciated, and I was so pleased to bring it to GB and expose more people to it! Everyone who loves games should be aware of this thing imo. The grit needed to do it for 10 years is nuts
Celebrating TEN years of Arcade Pit in a row, on December 7th. We never missed a single week, a 10 year streak. Also tons of bonus shows and goofy one-off projects.

Sign-ups for a 10-game marathon of Arcade Pit are now open! We need 40 players! arcadep.it

See you at MAGFest too; panel confirmed!

I think it should be required that all games have key art of their protagonist playing the video game
