I was really hoping I'd be proven wrong about Bloodlines 2, but after reading all the reviews... oof.

I gave Veilguard a shot and I'm willing to do the same for BL2 once it's inevitably free on PS+ in a couple of months.

When I was a kid, there was a guy in our town who would sell shrimp out of the back of an unmarked white moving van on the side of the road.

As tempting as it was, I never tried the van shrimp.

I'm really liking Ghost of Yotei's Watanabe mode. I thought it'd be gimmicky or the lo-fi beats would feel out of place, but it somehow fits. It changes the game's vibe entirely, but not in a way I mind.

An homage to a panel from the Achewood web comic. Phillipe, a young and eager otter, who is wearing a shirt and tie and a helmet for some reason, is happily singing a song to himself as follows:

Born... in the USA! I went to school and I got an... A!
I ate a hamburger and said hooray!
Maybe it will happen today!

The final line is obviously my addition. The art was redrawn by me and is not just a copy of the original panel. Done in black lines and halftone shading on a toned paper background.

You do not need to trouble Chris Onstad about this.

I bounced off Ghost of Tsushima a little into the second act, but still decided to get Yotei. So far it's just Tsushima but with everything more streamlined, much prettier, and no samurai politics.

I decided to give Kuon a shot since it's basically October. I saw one of the protagonist's going barefoot and just knew deep in my soul that Miyazaki had some kind of involvement, credits be damned.

Digital illustration of the heroic goose from Untitled Goose Game. Goose is all white with orange feet and beak and everything is rendered in flat simple shapes. Goose is standing next to a stream with greenery and blue sky behind, proudly holding the coveted shiny bell in his beak. Handwritten lettering in the sky reads ‘Maybe it will happen today.’

A muddy, blurry crop of a screenshot from a video game. All you can see are 3 vague blurry, pixely squares.

Nice! Best wishes to the new reporters.

So can we expect sections under Local for Victoria and Vancouver at some point, or is BC going to continue to be shafted for actual local coverage compared to almost every other Province? Alberta has 2 cities, Ontario have 5. Even Saskatchewan gets a city.

Funny how political violence is considered a problem now that it's happening to one particular group.

Three high schoolers, who likely didn't make a career out of enabling and encouraging fascism, were shot in Colorado today.

My apartment has an infestation of those laser moths from Hollow Knight. Pest control said they won't cause damage as long as I memorize their beam patterns.

If Bill doesn't work like 911 in this match, that would be a waste of the ECW arena.

A tribute to one of my all time favorite panels of Nancy by Ernie Bushmiller soaring Sluggo in a hands-behind-head reclining position seemingly unsupported hovering in midair with some generalized Bushmiller landscape behind. The original text in his speech balloon has been replaced with ‘Maybe it will happen today’. If you post the original panel in response to mine you will probably get blocked.

Diablo 4 is still a monument to buyers remorse, in case anyone was thinking this is a good thing.

BREAKING: BioShock 4 developer Cloud Chamber is laying off an unspecified number of staff.

Also, former Diablo boss Rod Fergusson is taking over as Cloud Chamber's new studio head. More than a decade ago, he joined the troubled BioShock Infinite and helped salvage that game's production.

Genuinely, what is wrong with your brain that makes you post things like this?
