Sorry, but as someone who has seen at LEAST 3 movies in his lifetime, I can say with absolute certainty that just about anything will cause a car to explode.
- Comment on Finally PS6 1 week ago:
This is so stupid.
At best, this is like a PS4.5. In order to get the most out of the hardware, the two consoles have to share as much surface area as possible. Unlock the true potential of your hardware by ensuring they are flat on top of one another!

Maybe. The same way I’ll sometimes read a YA book or watch a kids movie. Being aimed at children doesn’t make something inherently bad or unenjoyable. What you enjoy and how you relate to a piece of media can be influenced by any number of things. What you’re going through at work or in your personal life, what you’ve played recently, or watched or read. Maybe it won’t ever click for me, but I don’t mind taking an hour or two every few years to revisit something millions of people love to see if it will.
In the last couple of years, I’ve enjoyed the GBC Harry Potter games and Wendy Every Witch Way. If I just dismissed things as kid games, I wouldn’t have touched those. And Wendy has actually become a really fun and calming one I go back to often.
So I guess maybe you do you and I’ll do me and that’s okay?

Well…
because tastes change
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, I try one every few years because tastes change. I will say my time last night was a bit more engaging than in the past. So we’ll see.

I was down with the flu for a week, so I a) started Broken Sword…for REAL this time. b) charged up my 3DS for the first time in years and am just playing a lot of CrossworDS Plus or whatever.
Tonight I started Pokemon Heartgold, but I can’t lie, didn’t play them back in the day and don’t understand the appeal. I’m going to try though.
- Comment on DSP clears Wolverine's motorcycle section without player input 4 weeks ago:
I’m not sure I agree with your definition of a game, but I am certain I can’t work out the meaning of what you have written here.
But I would argue that if there is any interactive element, you can’t say it’s a movie either. Just because one section doesn’t require player input doesn’t mean the entire thing plays itself.

I cancelled my Game Pass sub recently and just got home from a Universal trip, so I’ve been doing all kinds of side/collection quests in Hogwarts Legacy. My save file was 3 years old which doesn’t even seem possible. Eventually, I suppose I’ll have to finish the main story.

Family of 5. We stayed at an Airbnb in Salem, MA that was Harry Potter themed. Kids loved it. Good experience.
Generally though, hotels, please.

You are sufficiently old. Good job.
I always wanted Wishbringer SO BAD because it came with that damn rock.
- Comment on Do both games & consoles cost more in the US when you factor in both sales tax and minimum wage? 2 months ago:
I’m sorry, but I really don’t understand your second paragraph. I think you’re saying that the PS5 list price in Japan (which includes tax) is about $50 lower than the US (not including tax). But I’m not sure how that translates to US defaultism or being “telling” of…*something*?

Geist Sphinx & the Curse Mummy
- Comment on Hands-on with the Retroid Pocket 6; The 8GB Sweet Spot (my own article/interview!) 6 months ago:
I’m waiting (and waiting and waiting) on mine. I got it mostly for GameCube, but looking forward to some PSP and PS2 as well.
I went with the orange because I always wanted a Spice colored GC. This is as close as I will ever get.

- Comment on Nintendo Lowers Pricepoint For Digital Versions of Switch 2 Games 6 months ago:
I’m not defending Nintendo, game pricing or whatever, but “begs the question why they’ll remain higher”? Really?
You can’t think of any reason why a physical product that has to be manufactured, shipped, unpacked, stocked, and sold by people would cost more than a download?
Game pricing has become obscene and there is no way on God’s great earth I’m dropping $80 on any game, but I think a $10 lower price point makes some sense. I’d love it to be more.

But I mean aren’t our favorite games naturally the ones that have most influenced us and our views on gaming?
- Comment on What are your hallmark games? What games have shaped how you view games? 6 months ago:
I miss it so much. Last time I tried to fire it up again, it just wouldn’t even run under Windows. And I just haven’t ever found something that hits the same.
- Comment on What are your hallmark games? What games have shaped how you view games? 6 months ago:
My Younger days:
- Legend of the Red Dragon
- Police Quest 1
- Anarchy Online
- Bard’s Tale (OG)
- Shadowgate
- Metroid
- Forgotten Worlds
- Super Mario World
- Paper Mario TTYD
- Guitar Hero
- Tony Hawk’s Underground
- Star Wars: KOTOR
More recently:
- Cave Noire
- AC: Odyssey
- Fallout 4
- Cloverpit
- Offline Games (Android)
Mostly tried to stick to a single release per platform for the earlier games. I’m sure I’ve missed some.
Newer games…I know the AC and Fallout titles aren’t most people’s favorites, but I love those worlds. Games are all about comfort for me.

Oh, I agree. The Frenchish version just wasn’t around me growing up.
- Comment on Niche species 9 months ago:
Maybe it’s partly regional, but growing up it was always “nitch”. Like “Tom has really found his (nitch).” It only seems to have been making the transition to “neesh” in the last 10 years or so and it still sounds off to me.

I take a hybrid approach. I’ll buy a movie from my local shop and then go sailing the seas for a digital copy. Much…grayer… but close enough.
