Of Mice and Males

Good morning, mates, and welcome to this week’s Whatcha Been Taking part in? 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 via 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 takes the suitable steps to make sure that he can profit from them.

I imply, he’s going to the coast immediately. Am I going to the coast immediately? No. So there’s one instance.

Regardless, Jordan might be muchly missed by the workforce and the group, (although I’m certain he’ll pop his head within the door occasionally). I’d wish to thank him for all of his assist over time. I do know that I’m ace af, however you’d be stunned how… a lot… I might be to work with. Jordan at all times made time for me, and even on these events when he was unsuitable 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 whenever you love your pals. And he’s very a lot my buddy.

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. If you happen to go and skim my evaluation then you definitely’ll discover my ideas on what’s a divisive and intentionally paced, however altogether participating and impressive journey. Simply… perhaps be in the suitable headspace to play it, people. It ain’t a chucklefest, that’s fer true.

What’s subsequent on the gaming agenda for me? Effectively, preserve an eye fixed out for just a few phrases in regards to the mind-bending shmup NeverAwake, and, after that, I’m certain 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 may not have performed a lot this week, however I wager all y’all have, proper? So you already know what I need to hear: Head on into the feedback and fill us all in on whatcha been enjoying. I don’t have to reiterate that, similar to early UFC, THERE ARE NO RULES (regardless that there had been some guidelines). It may be new video games, outdated video games, enjoyable video games, not-so-fun video games. Hell, when you haven’t performed any video games, then inform us a few film, or inform us about yourselves. We collect right here each Saturday to maintain this expensive group glad 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 mates, and also you try this whenever you love your pals.
