This is all I could read from the main page. I instantly assumed the rest of the sentence would be "...ex".

I was wrong. So I guess that means you're actually sick. Get well soon!

When it comes to Edge I think that's the natural thing to assume.

The 28 Days of Hate has concluded. I feel like I should write something happy and cheerful and positive now.

Dark Robio loves nothing other than panties from barely legal Japanese Girls. And there's only like 7 or 8 games made about that.

Just listened to (most of) the latest Game Under Podcast today and thought I'd write up some thoughts I had while listening, and I still remember.

- concerning AAA and the size of dev teams, I'm going to restate my point that the current malaise will evaporate in a generation or two as dev tools improve.  Sure, now it takes ages to make something like The Order, flawed as it may be, but one day the team size and investment to reach those results will have significantly decreased.  And we've said this many times before: but honnestly, how much better looking can games get?

- Concerning Mario Kart,  second the opinion that Double Dash was a great game.  For all that 8 gets right though, it's tracks were way too wide and one-dimensional.  Not enough room for shortcuts that didn't require boosts or true skill to shine through.

- Concerning getting invested in games: there are so many games I want to play, but I lack the time and will to really get invested in anything and I end up not playing a lot of the games I bought over the last year.  First time I've ever experienced this  

- concerning This War Of Mine, the plan, AntiChamber,...  I find it fascinating that gaming is blossoming into a mature medium where there is room for unique experiences that aren't necessairily 'fun' as most games are.  Sure, different genres suit different tastes, but now we're seeing games being created that are more sobering than actually fun.  Games that you want to experience for other reasons than to be amused, just like there are movies that offer a unique experience, but aren't necessairily enjoyable to watch.  Or Literature that's highly regarded, but pure on the level of accessability, are nigh impossible to read.  On the other hand, I'm not too sure of how I feel about games that would require an acquired taste.

I'm sure there was more, but this is all I could remember.

Okay, Sunday roll call. What are you playing?

I just finished up Rainbow Curse, and come Thursday I'll start on Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars. Really like the game's Miiverse integration. Until then, probably not a lot of gaming for me as I'm binge watching the first season of Black List.

Rocksmith 2014. I have the rhythm part of songs such as Fear of the Dark and Highway Star pretty much under my belt. I found a place with custom DLC (songs unavailable in any game that are uploaded by the community) and it's been like finding a treasure cove.

I also started South Park: The Stick of Truth, which is quite fun.

Don't you mean Nintendo helped you "finish" up Rainbow Curse? It's ok, we won't judge.
