Why do so many video games have silly names? I wrote about it for PC Gamer. www.pcgamer.com/games/why-so...

Why so many Steam games have weirdly similar (and forgettable) names

We've dealt with this by just not having a save system. I dunno if that would work for a game people perceive as more serious, though.

Neighbor tricked me into eating a Ouija board. Disguised it as a square pizza. He was trying to turn me into a doorway to unknown realms, but all that happened was I puked up a little goblin foot. He was so embarrassed I ended up buying him a real pizza to cheer him up.

Went to Resident Evil at the Alamo with @zapjackson.bsky.social . That news item about cutting half the jokes must've been a head feint. Release cut is rife with the things. Very amusing, heavy on the jump scares. Not as intricate or beautiful as Weapons or Barbarians, but still. Recommended.

Man, this Hellraiser: Revival is a video-game-ass video game. I miss single-player narrative FPSes and also games where you go into weird Clive Barker realms, so I guess I'll put up with a bunch of BDSM gore for a new one.

Someone had left a Beavis and Butthead book in an old office of mine. One page was a letter they had written to Tom Anderson that said something like "We were digging in your yard and Beavis broke open a pipe that smelled like farts, so if your fart faucet doesn't work, that's why." Pretty good.

I think I might finally get a Switch 2 for that there Zelda remake. I loved Ocarina at the Time (ha) but have never been able to revisit it because I think that era of 3d looks disgusting.

In the files for New Super Mario Bros. (DS), there's a fully coded, unused ghost enemy referred to as "scripulous_fingore". When asked about the enemy in an interview, Miyamoto disregarded the question, seeming unusually upset.

Modern video games have 5 or 6 different enemy types and they're really polished and well-balanced, but I want games with like 200 kinds and they're all janky as shit.
