Re: The Backlog Check-In Vol. 447: 7/25/26: Halo: Campaign Evolved Edition


I beat Headlanders last night. It's a fun game, no doubt. Good solid B+. Just not as many chuckles and wow moments as Double Fine's best stuff.
Yep, agreed. Heard Double Fine has to lay off some people in order to keep going, unfortunate situation.



Sad but true. Maybe he finally realized ...

Happy Birthday, argyle!

And yeah, I also had fun with Headlander - it's a Double Fine game for sure.

Re: The Backlog Check-In Vol. 446: 7/18/26: Splatoon Raiders Edition


Project Hail Mary : A bit of a slow start, but well worth it. Really enjoyed this one, it was a great feel-good original sci-fi flick. I say original, I know it was based on a book, but it wasn't based on a well-worn IP or a sequel to anything. Ryan Gosling does a great job of carrying the movie ...

Re: The Backlog Check-In Vol. 445: 7/13/26: Culdcept Begins Edition


I've rolled through most of the side stuff in Vice City en route to 100% and the platinum, but man, the stupid fire engine missions are breaking my spirit. I don't want to think about how many times I've gotten near the end and had things go bad. I've tried doing them all over the map and ...

Beat the story in First Light and now I'm going back through to clean up the collectibles I missed. Got 58/92 on my own, not bad.


Did you keep track of those as you played, or does the game have a system that lets you know which ones you got or missed? (Thinking about that kind of thing a lot ...
