It's interesting the attention that Link Between Worlds is getting from some quarters. I thought it was solid, but not outstanding.

Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Still a bit depressed that the Stanley Parable didn't get the award for outstanding innovation :(

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Not surprising, I had my friend who just got back from Afghanistan play it the other day. It's even a great game to watch.

Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.
