Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."

MKX looked like it had some good stuff but I wasn't really into the gore so I am looking forward to Injustice 2 :)

Gore isn't really my thing either but the violence in MKX was so over the top that it just made me laugh most of the time.

Im the opposite, Im kind of completely fine with gore 99% of the time but MKX was the most vile and joyless game Ive ever played.

I just don't think the "reboot the bad part of Mortal Kombat" effort went nearly as good as the "reboot the good part of Mortal Kombat" did.

I haven't played MK in years so I'm probably not the best authority to comment upon this but what I did see of MKX made me kind of sick to my stomach.

One of them is that hypersexualized drawing of Strawberry Shortcake someone drew on the internet.

Not to bring up "What's Wrong With Japan" exhibit of that Bombergirl game again, but I think the "someone" you're referring to here is Penny Arcade. Maybe. I don't know how many hypersexualized drawings of Strawberry Shortcake there are on the internet but PA certainly did one.

I think the real (gross) question is: are there more hypersexualized drawings of Strawberry Shortcake characters -or- more sexualized drawings of the Strawberry Shortcake characters that try to draw them "on model." I don't think you can keep them on model and make them hypersexualized and I do not wish to debate this.

I have no idea who he is. The second one showed up in the sidebar on another video I was watching so I clicked it out of curiosity and it was a cute little theory on the time between Megaman and Megaman X.

So since I still boot up the old PS3 now and then to comfort-play Mass Effect (all of them! trilogy playthroughs only! :shepicide: ) I downloaded this month's free game Anna - Extended Edition

this is the worst game I have played since the 90s, no kidding

within a minute of starting i was reading a journal entry about how rape was super common and cool among medieval knights and then solving really bad pixel hunt puzzles. I think Sony is just checking to see if anyone is paying attention

A few months back they also put out for free that 1 hour Vita basically-a-visual-novel game about depression that I don't think anyone with depression should actually play because holy poo poo is it just dumping on the main character in the harshest way possible before the game forces you to commit suicide.

I like it in concept even if it's not my thing because I like the idea of people just having fun writing about games and dumb stories about games. It reminds me of all the silly poo poo I read in the letters section of Nintendo Power. Fans just having fun.

Vice did the worst documentary on the Gathering of the Juggalos, which is really saying a lot. How you gently caress that up?

It would stand a chance of pulling that off if it were not for Austin Walker who is unable to have fun doing anything without also saying "but maybe.... this is bad...."

Maybe it's a sign I'm becoming an old because the violence in the first Mortal Kombats and GTA, I wouldn't even bat an eye. But the modern ones just creep me out with their body-horror obsession with the moment someone goes from being a person to a bag of flesh, which is like every fatality and x-ray move in that game. Like hell, I'm playing Nioh where I'm decapitating fools every thirty seconds, and that's all right. But the way Mortal Kombat lingers on that moment between screaming in existential pain to nothingness is really unpalatable.

You mean Austin Walker who just played Crackdown and Phantom Dust for hours yesterday shooting the poo poo, Austin Walker who wrote a review of a mixtape that a PR person accidentally sent to him, or Austin Walker
