\n0:01:22: Shamus played the anime dating sim Huniepop<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Since I asked for recommendations, I guess I should make clear what I’m looking for in a Match-3 game: 1) Focus on planning ahead and setting up deliberate moves. 2) NO TIMER. I like working with a limited number of moves, but being allowed to consider those moves for as long as I like. 3) Ideally, there would be some sort of meta-game. 4) Preferably something without naked anime girls.<\/p>\n

Also, this discusses quasi-pornography. I’d encourage everyone to be respectful. Remember that one person’s “tame cheesecake” is another person’s “sick filth”. We’re all coming from different backgrounds and cultures and have different expectations. This is one of those topics that seem to flip everyone’s jerk switch. Try not to be crappy to each other. <\/p>\n

Also, I’d like to say how happy I am that I can use the phrase “naked anime girls” without worrying that the Google smut-bot is going to throw a fit<\/a>. <\/p>\n

0:25:23: The new Ghostbusters movie is apparently not the train wreck the trailers made it out to be?<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a spoiler-free discussion. <\/p>\n

0:33:35: Steam Stats<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here is the Steam statistics page<\/a> we reference in this discussion. <\/p>\n

0:45:04: Civilization series.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1:01:22: Mailbag<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dear Campster,<\/p>\n

Do you think the changes Turtle Rock are making to Evolve will help the game’s playability and accessibility to a significant enough extent as to help them gain players, or is it “too little, too late” (or even just “too late”)?<\/p>\n

Sincerely,
