it’s good shit, go waste some time watchin’

on FEZ

[11:51] <@flatluigi_> god fez feels so big

[11:52] <@flatluigi_> here’s my selling point for the game

[11:52] <@flatluigi_> there are two types of cubes: regular cubes that you get just by exploring and picking up shards

[11:52] <@flatluigi_> and anti-cubes that you get by doing myst-like puzzles

[11:52] <@flatluigi_> and god are they good puzzles

[11:53] <@flatluigi_> you can beat the game without doing any, but why would you? break out the pen and paper and take notes

[11:53] <@flatluigi_> there’s a language I think I can decode, along with number glyphs

[11:53] <@flatluigi_> i don’t think I have anywhere near enough info but i’ve got a bunch marked down

[11:54] <@flatluigi_> i’m just having so much fun with it you guys

regarding good games journalism

this article about achievement design from gamasutra is really good and pretty much single-handedly makes me love the site

giantbomb’s casual and hilarious take on reviewing games on top of being the only site to do actual journalism on the aris/sfxt sexism issue also cements them as a great site

critical distance does some good summaries of quality articles from a host of different sites

uhhhhhhhhhhh

i follow joystiq, RPS, wired’s gamelife, and indiegames.com but none of them are really journalism most of the time

(also sonic hurricane and combovid but that’s just for hot hot multihit action)

(and a bunch of miscellaneous game blogs or devblogs)
