    Op-Ed: Best of Gaming in 2015

    A funny thing happened the other day. I had a nicely compiled list of "best of" items for 2015 in an Excel sheet. Problem is, I made that Excel sheet back in November and only planned to adjust it a bit just prior to writing up my article, the thing you're reading right now. Well, it disappeared. I don't know where it went. So, this is what I'm going to do. I'm going to half-ass the hell out of this. I'm going to simply make a list of games I enjoyed throughout the year based on their release mon...

  • Mortal Kombat X Continues Screwing PC Owners - New Content Coming Only to Consoles

    When Mortal Kombat X released on the PC, it was a bit of a shitshow. It began with the decision to download the game in chunks. In theory, that should allow players to enjoy part of the game while the rest downloaded in the background. The problem was, the system was broken, and chunks either failed to download or downloaded repeatedly. This meant that entire portions of the game were flat out broken for a long time, including story mode, online play, and more. On top of that, the netcode...
