I regret to inform you that yet another good video game has released. Lies of P is a solid soulslike. It feels like they really get it and the unmatched style/vibe makes it even better. It is 100% my sh*t. The weapon stuff and robot arms take it to the next level. Videos soon!

Do you like Miyazaki? I've been a big FromSoftware fan ever since the release of their 2015 game, Bloodborne. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was in Old Yarnham where their presence became more apparent. I think Chalice D

I’ve been thinking about this guy. Saw ppl dunking on him & it made me sad. When I worked grocery I would flip cans as I stocked the shelves because I wanted it to be like that scene in ‘Cocktail.’ You just have to find a bit of fun for yourself sometimes so you don’t go crazy

After seeing it in-person, Cyberpunk PS4/Xbox One versions are unacceptable and I'm extremely sad. It hurts even more after playing on PC and generally having a good time despite shortcomings. It's like I'm living in a different world. Are you playing? Thoughts so far overall?

my biggest takeaway from the #XboxBethesda event is that I really enjoy seeing straight up gameplay and mostly 12 month release windows. Good move. I think I'm kinda over seeing a CGI trailer for a game and then waiting 7 years to play it.

I've played about 3 hrs of Alan Wake 2! You're gonna be hearing this a lot: it seems pretty damn awesome. Saga sections feel like a true Alan Wake sequel. Alan sections feel like Remedy on wild sicko mode. the fantasy noir NY environment is the most Remedy thing ever. WILD.

This trailer doesn't do it justice. I got to see it behind the scenes a few wks ago. It's a reboot. A bit slower, more tactical. Door breaching. Scary, realistic death animations. Close quarters. They're going full-edgy with the campaign. To me it felt like 'No Russian: The Game'
