We are now in an era where entire game platforms (including re-downloads of things you’ve bought) can just vanish. http://community.us.playstation.com/t5/PlayStation-Mobile-Support/INFO-Update-on-PlayStation-Mobile-PSM/td-p/45023971

It happened so gradually, I’m really not sure when Steam became a F2P MMO. It’s easily the best one, though.

Remember when Assassin’s Creed was about making you feel like an assassin?

My favorite loyalty missions are still the ones in Chrono Trigger.

The Internet Archive is amazing. Here’s the first videogame I remember playing, right in your browser: https://archive.org/details/atari_2600_frogs_and_flies_-_frogs_n_flies_1982_m_network_david_rolfe_-_intv_mt56

Best part of walking by noisy construction is knowing no one can hear me hum the Final Fantasy battle theme to myself.

Between Gamefly, PS Plus, and Steam sales I’ve failed to resist, I really never need to buy a game ever again. And yet I know I will.

It’s unsettling that Sony won E3 simply by announcing a console that is still capable of what every other console to date is capable of.

This is just a reminder that Bionic Commando 2009 had a ‘shut up’ button for skipping repeated boss chatter:

I don’t want a new console generation! I’m not done with this one.

Game designers: If your game ever says “Unsaved data will be lost” you are doing it wrong. ESPECIALLY if there is no explicit save system.

Too often lately: Beat awesome game. Feel good about game. Play more. Give up in disgust on poorly-designed trophies. Feel bad about game.

#Enslaved is the dictionary definition of a Bad Good Game. I’m totally in love with it - I just wish it would stop sucking so much.

I just reinstalled #cityofheroes since it’s free to play now. My level-cap main has been offline for sixteen hundred days.

When Crono sleeps in, he’s late for the Millennial Fair. When I sleep in, Crono steals my job.

Judging videogames by length is like judging meals by weight.

In western RPGs, you kill Satan (malevolent power-hungry beast). In JRPGs, you kill God (incomprehensible timeless superbeing).

Seems we don’t buy games anymore but passes to theme parks that can close at any time with no warning, whether it be for one day or forever.

I still can’t quite believe that the Robot Unicorn Attack song is not a parody, but a legit Erasure song from 1994.

Iceman says when he was a lad, ARGs were called “scavenger hunts.” Also that the Potato Sack thing is like being in a guild in a metagame.
