As the great Epic Rap Battles of History once famously stated: Poe’s poems pwn posers. The posers this time are the so-called “scientists” with their so-called “science.”

Retro style games, it’s a new craze amongst gamers. But is it simply an innocent pastime or is it a cynical ploy by greedy developers to prey upon your man child’s nostalgia? TLS investigates.

Far Cry 5: Big Bombast, Scant Soul

April 17, 2018 Scott Thurlow Dialogue Tree

[Contains spoilers]

 

Far Cry 5 was born in controversy long before it was released. The original promo art caused a bit of a stir and was accused of both provoking and encouraging some kind of vague alt-right sentiment and/or being an indictment on the state of American society. This backlash against it died down pretty quickly in the aftermath (as such things often do) and was mostly forgotten by the time it actually did release, a few weeks back. Having recently completed the campaign of FC5, the first thought that comes to mind is–if only it was indeed intending to tackle and sustain such a thorny and timely topic on any but the broadest of lines. Now that I’ve experienced it firsthand, I have a number of items to discuss, so let’s pile into the pickup and get to it.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi: A Meta Metaphor

December 19, 2017 Scott Thurlow Dialogue Tree

[major spoilers ahead]

The Last Jedi hit theaters this past weekend, and inevitably the tidal wave of opinions, reactions and rants washed over this galaxy, ranging from the usual ‘best since the original’ to ‘sucks worse than ever’ and all shades between. Read More

Star Wars Battlefront II Beta: The Good, The Bad, The Sarlaac

October 12, 2017 Scott Thurlow Dialogue Tree

The early access beta for Battlefront II just ended yesterday (after EA somewhat surreptitiously extended it by two more days) and after pouring a number of hours into it, I return from a galaxy far far away to give my initial impressions and thoughts on what was teased.

2017 Summer Games Drought Wrap Up

August 4, 2017 Scott Thurlow Dialogue Tree

It’s the heart of summer, the time when traditionally as the temperature rises, so does my desire to cloister myself away in a cold room playing games, while conversely the number of major releases trickles and dries up to match the scorched earth outside. So, in that spirit I’m going to cover a handful of titles that I’ve been playing since this effect kicked in and give my overall impressions etc. of them. [Slight spoilers ahead]

What Remains of Outlast 2

May 4, 2017 Scott Thurlow Dialogue Tree

Been a few rounds since my last post, so I figured it’s time to cobble something together on two recently released and very broadly related games from last week– in the same way grey wolves are broadly related to labradoodles– Outlast 2 and What Remains of Edith Finch.

Game Developers Choice Awards 2017: Winners

March 3, 2017 Scott Thurlow Dialogue Tree

Back in January the GDC announced their 2017 game award nominees and I went through a few of the categories, going over the games I thought would win in each as well as the ones I thought should in fact win. Yesterday the actual winners were announced, so now it is time of course to recap, see how I fared in retrospect, and give my final thoughts in the aftermath.
