I haven’t actually played the game, so I’m making fun of it by reputation and based on the footage I’ve seen. I hope you’ll allow me this indiscretion. The games I played this weekend (Bob came in Pieces, and Majesty 2) did not present me with any obvious opportunities for humor.

I wonder how hard it was to find that old TV. It looks like the sort that would have had the separate dial for UHF. Those things are actually getting to be pretty rare. I haven’t seen one in over a decade.
My thoughts while watching this: This is utterly brilliant. Yet I can’t help wishing the music was different. Retro 8-bit music would have been much more fitting. But maybe the music was the point? Like, a music video? Beats me. Honestly, I don’t know why the internet keeps making me these awesome things.
This is a rant against fanboy-ism, I guess.
My final shot at Red Faction: Baboon.
This was a difficult game to cover. It was silly, but it was always complicated silly. The plot was full of goofy stuff, but I didn’t want to have to explain the premise before deconstructing it. Like the plot itself, the jokes would need too much setup for too little payoff.
Saints Row 2 had a great system for adding gangsters to your party and dismissing them as needed. I’m not sure why they didn’t include that feature here. It would have made the combat a lot less aggravating. Sometimes I wanted more helpers, but I couldn’t attract any. (Okay, there was really only one time when I wanted help. And that was when I was making this comic.) Other times I wanted to work alone but ended up doing a lot of babysitting.
They need to extract the good parts of RFG with a scalpel and transplant them to a more viable game.
This is the episode everyone has been telling me I must do, since the start of the series. Here it is, the installment where Lulzy’s crumbling sanity is demolished for your amusement. You heartless jerks.
No, game prices don't "need" to go up. That's not how supply and demand works. Instead, the publishers need to be smarter about where they spend their money.
No, self-aware robots aren't going to turn on us, Skynet-style. Not unless we designed them to.
The comments on most sites are a sewer of hate, because we're moderating with the wrong goals in mind.
Do you like electronic music? Do you like free stuff? Are you okay with amateur music from someone who's learning? Yes? Because that's what this is.
A breakdown of how this game faltered when the franchise was given to a different studio.
Fidget spinners are ruining education! We need to... oh, never mind the fad is over. This is not the first time we've had a dumb moral panic.
Denuvo videogame DRM didn't actually kill piracy, but it did stop it for several months. Here's what we learned from that.
Yes, this game is loud, crude, childish, and stupid. But it it knows what it wants to be and nails it. And that's admirable.
This series began as a cheap little 2D overhead game and grew into the most profitable entertainment product ever made. I have a love / hate relationship with the series.
My first REAL published book, about a guy who comes back from the dead due to a misunderstanding.
