The Kore Gang still looks f*cking delightful

The Kore Gangwent gold today. Usually I don’t do “game X has gone gold” posts because they serve no true purpose to the reader (in my personal opinion), but this one is different. This time it’s simply an excuseto remind youthatThe Kore Gangexists. Nobody talks about this game and so I must take any opportunity I can. The Kore Gangis a really cool looking Wii game that uses a visual style very reminiscent ofPsychonauts....

The Zelda Symphony last night was great, but these costumes stole the show

A standing O Last night, as is my yearly tradition, I attended the Zelda Symphony concert. It’s my fourth year going and my first not in Southern California. Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco is a choice venue for the show — much better than the Dolby Theatre I went to last year — and my seats were some of the best in the house. Sure, I had to sit next to this wonderfulZeldafan who spent the show crying because she was so happy to be there, but I was also near Matt Hofstad and Danielle Cuellar....

What was the first thing you did in Breath of the Wild?

Some sick kickflips on your shield, I hope The thing I like to take away fromThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wildis all the different emergent stories. Everyone has their own experience with certain elements in the game, whether it’s how you approach combat, travel across the land, or even solve puzzles. You’d think puzzles, of all things, would lead to binary solutions for an intelligently designed obstacle. But no, look online forBreath of the Wildshenanigans and you’ll see people solving problems in ways that were clearly unintended but still allowed within the game’s logic — things like completing an electrical circuit with a collection of metal weapons or using the propulsion of a bomb’s shockwave to boost over a wall....
