Valerie VacantePublished 7 years ago in GamersA Brief History of 'Armored Core'

And it literally makes me scream sometimes because you have such potential, and you’ve shown it, to be the genre-defining mecha video game. I mean, you might be. To me you certainly are. But you have Mech Assault, Chromehounds, Titanfall, Hawken, a slew of Gundam games, and more, and even though you try your best, sometimes you’re mentioned with those names as opposed to prefacing them so often by reviewers and players alike.

There's been a flicker of controversy around Stardew Valley, the Life Sim / RPG farming game by Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone. It concerns a guinea pig and his treatment. One of the NPCs has a pet guinea pig who is, apparently, being kept in substandard conditions for the animal's needs.

Game development from the outside looks straight forward. Come up with some game mechanics (How the game should be played and features players would like) add some story to it and fill it in with artwork.
I Am Alive (Emotionally) Because of the Game Grumps
I have been following the Game Grumps since just after their inception back in the day. My sister came up to me one day and was like, and this is not a direct quote, "These guys are cool. They're very funny. You should watch them." I did, religiously, every day for the last five years. Well, I tried to at least. Some days were harder than others. We all have times that are trying, that test our will to get up in the morning, and over the past two years, I've had a few.
Novice ModePublished 7 years ago in GamersYou Should Introduce Your Kids to D&D and Here's Why
For some, a tabletop RPG is more than a game. It's a world, not entirely separate from our own, that lives and breathes, that has rules and consequences, and that affects how some of us live our real lives.

The snow fell upon the rocks overlooking the lake, the water lapping against the rocks below. The sparse vegetation was a vibrant green, swaying in the breeze. This far north (and in times like these) it was a miracle that anything survived at all.

Chloe GilholyPublished 7 years ago in GamersThe Ultimate FNAF Theory
Yes, another Five Nights at Freddy's theory. I know, it's been done to death, but bear with me, because there are some things in my theory that I have not heard addressed by the plethora of other FNAF theorists out there.

If you are not all familiar with the series, you probably won't get much out of it, as I will be making references to specific phone calls in the games, cut-scenes, and already-established theories. Throughout the article, I will abbreviate Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location simply as Sister Location, Five Nights at Freddy's 1 as FNAF 1, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 as FNAF 2, etc. So, without further delay, my ultimate FNAF theory!
