Of Mice and Males
Good morning, associates, and welcome to this week’s Whatcha Been Enjoying? You discover me, nay, us, at a wierd crossroads within the lengthy and winding highway of Destructoid. As you will have heard — and certainly, learn — Jordan Devore has lastly determined the time is true to disembark, having been on-board for an incredible 15 years. Whereas Destructoid goes by means of some main adjustments, this was not the rationale for Devore’s exodus… He merely believed the door was open and the time was proper. I agreed along with his speculation, and I do know that he already has some thrilling life prospects and plans forward, and he’s taking the fitting steps to make sure that he can profit from them.
I imply, he’s going to the coast right now. Am I going to the coast right now? No. So there’s one instance.
Regardless, Jordan will probably be muchly missed by the crew and the neighborhood, (although I’m positive he’ll pop his head within the door once in a while). I’d wish to thank him for all of his assist through the years. I do know that I’m ace af, however you’d be stunned how… a lot… I may be to work with. Jordan at all times made time for me, and even on these events when he was flawed about films (as everybody right here who isn’t me usually is) I by no means held it in opposition to him. You don’t try this if you love your mates. And he’s very a lot my pal.
There’s a rat in me kitchen
The previous two weeks have been a blur for me. With Jordan out and Chris on trip, I used to be left to carry the fort alongside Eric, Noelle, and CJ at a time of nice upheaval. As such, I didn’t get any actual time to myself or to dig into video games, save for crunching out the finale of the bitter and brutal journey A Plague Story: Requiem. When you go and skim my evaluation you then’ll discover my ideas on what’s a divisive and intentionally paced, however altogether partaking and impressive journey. Simply… possibly be in the fitting headspace to play it, of us. It ain’t a chucklefest, that’s fer true.
What’s subsequent on the gaming agenda for me? Effectively, maintain an eye fixed out for a couple of phrases concerning the mind-bending shmup NeverAwake, and, after that, I’m positive I can discover one thing within the winter slate to ply my ideas and emotions too. That Want for Pace Unbound is certain wanting mighty purty… Hmm….
Me gonna repair that rat
I won’t have performed a lot this week, however I guess all y’all have, proper? So what I need to hear: Head on into the feedback and fill us all in on whatcha been taking part in. I don’t must reiterate that, identical to early UFC, THERE ARE NO RULES (though there have been some guidelines). It may be new video games, outdated video games, enjoyable video games, not-so-fun video games. Hell, if you happen to haven’t performed any video games, then tell us about a movie, or inform us about yourselves. We collect right here each Saturday to maintain this expensive neighborhood completely satisfied and impressed, and your enter is the important thing to that. So have it, and let’s all welcome the weekend collectively. In spite of everything, we’re associates, and also you try this if you love your mates.
Have an exquisite weekend, from all of us at Destructoid.
