Beware The Frog

Once upon a time I made a blog about video games. And this is what's left of it (mostly tweets).

It’s clearly a shame to be playing Firewatch on my MacBook’s screen and my MacBook’s GPU but… I can’t really stop now, can I.

Firewatch (PC) — 8/10

I photographed the raccoon right as it looked at me in surprise and the Fotodome print doesn’t reflect that, 0/10

So anyway Firewatch’s big reveal is clever enough and didn’t make me groan or anything, but I wish they hadn’t pushed the mystery so hard.

But the narrative was pretty much saved for me by the next scene, when […] decides to […] even though I’m almost begging them to […].

I don’t know anything about the game but I love that it appears to have a wolf-based Vita-Chamber system

Checking out the Royal Game of Ur following Eurogamer’s egyptology article, and they’re right: it’s excellent

Red Dead Redemption is probably the only game of which I’d buy an “HD” remaster

I woke up at 2am to a drunk girl crying in frustration outside my bedroom window over Pokemon go. Living in a Pokemon gym is a tough life

@remivir:

Je fais 20 mètres en bas de chez moi je croise 5 personnes jouant à #PokemonGO. Pour une appli non sortie officiellement c’est phénoménal !

How isn’t there a “change cars anywhere” perk in Forza Horizon?

Love the concept, and the trailer looks good.

Another great example of how Metaverse avatars will most certainly become very strange. #VR

Next time someone asks me why I’m so keen to escape to a fantasy world in Virtual Reality I’ll simply reply: “2016”

J’ai envie d’allumer la console pour me changer les idées, mais j’ai peur de la chaleur qu’elle dégagerait dans ma chambre.

Meanwhile, No Man’s Sky’s combat appears to be… worse than I feared

It’s been obvious from the start that their heart wasn’t in it, and it’s a shame that they felt or were forced to implement it anyway.

After listening to 24 episodes of Inklecast I realized last week that the three guys talking comprised all of Inkle. That feeing of inadequacy.

Voilà, ça c’est fait et je ne suis pas sûr de quoi faire de plus à part effacer l’app

I’ve never owned a Nintendo console (shame on me, I know) but that concept is something I’d want to buy

Is the PS4 Neo really gonna emphasize 4K(ish) instead of much better visuals at 1080p60? 😞

# 2016/07/30 - 02:54 — published on @commandergaroo

I guess it makes sense that the PS4 has been so successful it’s now time to screw up the next console because Sony wants to sell 4K TVs.
