It used to be calledSundays with Sagat, but then we had to fire Sagat because he was unprofessional towards a famous person.] We have a very special guest this week — it’s Juri fromStreet Fighter High. She has a word to say about online gaming, and the behaviors of the lesser mortals that she interacts with therein. Her thoughts may surprise you....

We all gotta die someday Survival seems like a tough prospect inDays Gone. There are all sorts of zombies and wolves that pose significant threats. Maybe most dangerous — Deacon St. John rides that motorcycle without a helmet! Pray he doesn’t go the way of Country Mac. It’ll get tougher come June.Days Goneis getting some free updates in June, one of them being a new difficulty setting. “Survival” mode jacks up difficulty, disables fast travel and survival vision, and diminishes the heads-up display so that indicators and maps are absent....
How long does it take you to get comfortable with someone? I was playingFinal Fantasy XIVthe other day, engaging in my weekly static raid group (we just beat Turn 7!) when I realized something — I refer to most of them by their callsigns and not their real names. In fact, I stopped calling a few friends that I’ve known for years (and went to college with) by their given names, just to uniformly refer to everyone as their in-game character....

The comic ran until 1996 and was also adapted into an anime, as well as a few theatrical films, back in the ’90s....
Listen to a sample of ‘Scattering Blossoms’ [Disclosure: Jayson Napolitano, the producer ofGame Music Lullabies Volume II, previously wrote for Destructoid. As always, no relationships, personal or professional, were factored into this news post.] “Aquatic Ambiance” was the song that got mehooked onPrescription for Sleep: Game Music Lullabies, a soothing album performed by saxophonist Norihiko Hibino (Metal Gear Solid) and pianist AYAKI. The duo is back forVolume II, which releases digitally on August 01, 2025....
Let’s go on a hugventure One of the highlights of my time at PAX East was sitting down and chatting withDropsy’screator, Jay Tholen. Jay’s a quiet, thoughtful man with what seems to be unlimited creative energy at his disposal. His sometimes offbeat, but unquestionably engaging creative force shines through in his surreal point-and-click “hugventure”Dropsy. At first glance, the Devolver-published game may seem as though it could be reduced to a psychedelic walking simulator built to shock or surprise the player, offering no real substance beyond that....

Another Nindies@Home game I totally missed theFreedom PlanetPC train back in 2014. I don’t know what I was doing — it kind of slipped my mind, and I do feel bad about it. Thankfully, a Wii U port set to debut later this year has allowed me to get back into this saddle, most notably due to a brand new demo version that is downloadabletodayon the eShop. The biggest influence thatFreedom Planetwears on its sleeve isSonic— that much is obvious....
