Open world games are everywhere, and it's getting really stupid. You can tell they're happening just to follow a trend as well, since so few open world games manage to justify actually being open world.
There are blatant clues found in many of these desolate sandboxes, and we're going to talk about them and why they're making videogames rubbish.

2016-12-29 15:38:07 +0000 UTC View Post2016 provided no shortage of absolute monstrosities to include in our annual list of the worst games ever.
After much deliberation and tossing of wine glasses, The Jimquisition has narrowed the unworthy contenders down to ten absolute triumphs of shittiness.
For your miserable delight, we now present the Top Ten Shittiest Games of 2016!

It should come as no surprise that the Podquisition gang has plenty to say about Tracer's recent queer revelations (good stuff, obviously).
Outside of that, Gavin tries to infiltrate the show with sly music talk, the Nintendo Switch got some new patent details, and one of us doesn't think Super Mario Run is very good.

Titanfall 2 got microtransactions, but they're not what I usually think of when I talk about the increasingly skeezy business practice.
The DLC offerings in this game are refreshingly direct, and present a thorny issue to me.

A discussion about Wicked Willies becomes a Jim Sterling origin story, hasty rewrites result in a superior Final Fantasy XV porn parody, and Gav's Music Corner leads to some lovely Cardiacs discussion.
Elsewhere, there's talk of Super Mario Run, a changed opinion on The Last Guardian, and Nintendo pretends it invented Minecraft first.&...

2016-12-13 12:22:50 +0000 UTC View PostSquare Enix has a roadmap of significant post-launch updates to Final Fantasy XV, going so far as to pledge entire narrative additions.
The idea of patching in more story is interesting, and in FFXV's case it's even admirable. There is a downside to it, however, one that we ought to be mindful of.

Your movie boys are here to discuss Postal, a movie that's shocking in more ways than one. Sure, the content is offensive, but Uwe Boll made a... competent videogame movie?
Let's discuss the jokes and the goofs in this violent jawdropper, while comparing it to how unfunny Pixels is.

The NES Classic is the latest farce, shipping to stores in pitiful numbers despite well-known demand.
Basically, Nintendo's a fucked up toymaker thinking everything it makes is a goddamn Hatchimal, whatever the hell THAT is!

On this week's sort-of-a-bit Thanksgiving episode, the gang discusses glang words for naughty bits and some of them are really rank.

Also Boglins and fleshlights... the winner's choice!

Hi there!
So it feels grody and weird promoting the merch store on Patreon, since you folks already so kindly support me and it's just odd to suggest you paying for shit. That's why I tend to keep merch news on the site itself.
That said, it would probably be dumb not to share that there's a 15% discount promo code on Sharkrobot right now. It's simply "Holiday2016".

However, while one particular naughty bit is gone, others remain. Why is it okay for some, and not others? What's the difference?
