There is a pretty clear throughline from watching the Giant Bomb Unplugged Pathfinder stream feat. V-Bomb to me meeting my future wife, so that was a pretty cool good time.

Jeff is the best, a constant virtual presence in my life since I was a barely coherent middle schooler. Now that I'm pushing 30 and a lawyer (what the fuck happened?), while I haven't listened to the ...

Welp, that's that. It's been a hell of a run, Jeffy G.

Turns out I had to stop playing Elden Ring. I'm going to go back, since I'm very close to the end. But man...everything took a sharp, sharp nosedive around the Fire Giant. There's now zero sense of mo...

@mellotronrules said:i can't guarantee my experience is going to be the same for everyone- but i registered in mid-january 2022 with the sony-run direct purchase lottery, and within 5 weeks or so i ha...

If I stop playing Elden Ring I will probably never pick up Elden Ring again so that's what I'm playing and will be playing for the foreseeable future. Allegedly I'm over halfway done but we'll see. It...

Ideally I want them to be sufficiently good to give me the same feeling that playing Oblivion for the first time did, but that's probably impossible. I'll settle for them giving me enjoyable places to...

WRPGs (action or tactical/turnbased), open world action games, immersive sims, and grand strategy games. Currently juggling Elden Ring, Weird West, and an ongoing Crusader Kings 3 multiplayer game, wh...

Age of Empires, Assassin's Creed, and Elder Scrolls have yet to do me dirty, though I expect AC is going to drop off a cliff with whatever live service NFT nightmare Infinity or whatever it's called w...

I keep forgetting I have a headset, which I think about sums it up.

Definitely 10 middling games (grading on the Gamer Curve, I’m taking “middling” to mean low-to-mid 80s on Metacritic). Thinking of it in terms of specific studios, I’d much rather be Obsidian than CDP...

The BOTW/Horizon 1 comparison was more fun and compelling, since apart from the release window proximity both games had oddly similar post-post robot apocalypse settings with a protagonist made specia...

Old thread but good thread!If I had to pick a game to play for the rest of my life, I'd probably go with Skyrim. It's not my favorite game, not even my favorite Bethesda game, but it's got that formul...

Yes, but replace "web swinging in Spider Man" with "grappling all over the place in Just Cause 2."

@cyrribrae: @liquiddragon: Yikes, I stand corrected. I knew they had the challenge stuff in place, but I didn't realize it had full-on streak bonuses and tiered rewards. Nevertheless, I shall remain r...

@undeadpool: Every chance things have changed in recent years and there’s a Jason Schreier expo in the works, but as far as I’m aware Bethesda Game Studios has a reputation for not being a crunch stud...

Yeah that sucks. Despite a lot of people saying “called it,” I’m legitimately surprised…the “they haven’t shown much, a delay is inevitable” calculus generally hasn’t applied to BethSoft’s strategy fo...

I am gobsmacked Microsoft hasn't done something like this officially as part of their Microsoft Rewards program. I know they already have a "login bonus" for playing a Game Pass game every day, but a...

I played up to the second main palace in Persona 5 and fell off hard on account of how much I disliked the cast, but that soundtrack is a masterpiece.
