Steam sale valid until December 19 It’s remarkable to think back on the joyJust Cause 2has given me in light of its absurd sale priceright now on Steam: $2.99. For that little money, it’d be a mistake not to add this to your library, plain and simple.

The way important life experiences can be tackled using the medium of interacting with hot naked man bodies is just something I can’t get enough of. In the world of weird little indie games about touching up naked dudes, there are few names as well known at this point as Robert Yang, creator of that game whereI jerked off a gay carfor Destructoid....
Tricked ya! Show of hands: Who thought when Remedy revealed thePC requirements forQuantum Breakyesterday, that those were therealrequirements? Fools. All of you. How could you be so gullible?

“Rom only knows what I’d be without you…” I’mterribleatDark Souls, and I’m too broken to playBloodborne, but at least I can always appreciate the amazing score as the phrase “You Died, Ya’ Feckin’ Ejit!” seeps into view for the trillionth time.
