I am the HonestGamers editor-in-chief. Talk to me about the site, about games, about fiction and TV... almost anything interesting, really!

Several checks are late showing up, so I'm selling Little Samson (NES): http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200935322984

@Suskie In that video, Major Nelson comes off as the no-nonsense boss we all hate who goes home every night thinking everyone respects him.

Here's an Xbox One video interview by a YouTube guy. Skip to 1:50 to skip the preamble: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RtSGFryKwo&feature=youtu.be

Uh oh! Maybe you better read this if you want Bayonetta 2: http://www.joystiq.com/2013/06/13/bayonetta-2-i-have-no-idea-what-just-happened/
Jason Venter @honestgamerJun 12, 2013
@holdthephone @zippdementia @espiga They did primarily show cutscenes, so I think "scripted" is a fair term. ;-) But also not indicative of anything.
Jason Venter @honestgamerJun 11, 2013
@EmP It really feels to me like they've swapped places. PS3 was Sony's move after establishing dominance. Xbox One is Microsoft's equivalent.

Jason Venter @honestgamerJun 06, 2013
@espiga Your horrific misfortune must just drive you bonkers!
Jason Venter @honestgamerJun 02, 2013
@pickhut Yes, walking at a slow pace is the worst. The only way I can do it is if I've pulled my back and can barely walk at all. It's iffy even then.
Jason Venter @honestgamerJun 01, 2013
@pickhut Hmm, you're right! There are a few glitches here and there, unfortunately. I hope to resolve them eventually. Thanks for the tip!
Jason Venter @honestgamerMay 31, 2013
@zippdementia @JoeTheDestroyer We are becoming old men, unable to keep up with our 13-year-old selves from years long gone.
Jason Venter @honestgamerMay 29, 2013
If you'd like to play a new Steam platformer title with me, let me know and I can get you a key to download it for free. How sweet is that?!
Jason Venter @honestgamerMay 28, 2013
@TomatoMan We remember the trip differently. I recall nobly steering you away from bad game investments.
Jason Venter @honestgamerMay 26, 2013
@pickhut Honestly, I've just been too dang busy with administrative stuff, editing, freelance work and such, or I'd be covering more stuff myself.
Jason Venter @honestgamerMay 26, 2013
@pickhut @pickhut LEGO City Undercover seems good, from what I played. Injustice is good. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate also. The Need for Speed: MW port.
Jason Venter @honestgamerMay 26, 2013
Just watched the first episode of the new season of Arrested Development. It's off to a pretty good start, I think. We'll see if it maintains!
Jason Venter @honestgamerMay 24, 2013
My brain is slowly turning to mush. Today, I wrote far too much and edited far too much. Time to go play a game, I think... Hello, weekend!
Jason Venter @honestgamerMay 21, 2013
@zippdementia @holdthephone I loved the first disc or so, but it did gradually fall apart a bit after that, as I recall. I still liked it.
Jason Venter @honestgamerMay 20, 2013
@joseph_valencia Thanks for the tip, Joseph! In case others don't know, Zeboyd also made Breath of Death VII. It's a good developer!
Jason Venter @honestgamerMay 16, 2013
@joseph_valencia I think some of them are more interested in the drama that surrounds predictions of doom than they are the health of the industry.
Jason Venter @honestgamerMay 16, 2013
@zippdementia It gives you powerful sorting options, too. It's really a terrific and useful page!
Jason Venter @honestgamerMay 15, 2013
"To mix bleaches and ammonia is very dangerous. I recommend not to do this, because it can cause death to you and the persons near you." Hmm.
Jason Venter @honestgamerMay 14, 2013
@honestgamer Oops, forgot that I wisely disabled HTML tags in Chatter posts. Ah, well. The post is no less true for that!
Jason Venter @honestgamerMay 14, 2013
Here's an important post about a possible change that <i>could</i> be coming to the site: http://www.honestgamers.com/forums/threads/4977/view/0.html
Jason Venter @honestgamerMay 13, 2013
@zippdementia @overdrive VII is basically VI repeated, with a few changes and less heart. It's still a worthwhile game, even great sometimes!
Jason Venter @honestgamerMay 13, 2013
Looks like Square-Enix has heard what @Suskie wants: http://www.joystiq.com/2013/05/13/final-fantasy-xiii-2-dlc-collection-announced-for-japan-coming/
Jason Venter @honestgamerMay 11, 2013
This evening, I copyedited seven reviews that were waiting in queue. Translation: there should be lots of new reviews posted over the next few days!
Jason Venter @honestgamerMay 10, 2013
@overdrive @JoeTheDestroyer @zippdementia I have a 60" television now. Playing any version of any Mega Man game is ridiculously difficult when jumping
Jason Venter @honestgamerMay 08, 2013
@Suskie Kind of what I expected. It gets better after that first 20 minutes, but still feels distinctly NOT like a game I could envision you liking.
Jason Venter @honestgamerMay 07, 2013
Sorry to all of you with reviews waiting in queue. I hope to get to Joe's review soon--maybe today--and the others not long after (fingers crossed).
Jason Venter @honestgamerMay 07, 2013
@EmP I love that game... as my review hopefully made clear. It's the only open world game I've ever completed 100% (I never even came close before).
Jason Venter @honestgamerMay 03, 2013
@Suskie I've funded quite a few, even Double Fine Adventure well before it blew up huge. I have yet to play or receive a single one of those games.
Jason Venter @honestgamerApr 29, 2013
@JoeTheDestroyer Done.
Jason Venter @honestgamerApr 29, 2013
@joseph_valencia @Suskie @JoeTheDestroyer You can find something similar even as far back as Legend of the Ghost Lion (NES).
Jason Venter @honestgamerApr 28, 2013
@EmP @Suskie Remind me never to join EmP's assault team...
Jason Venter @honestgamerApr 27, 2013
So... that's seven reviews copyedited today. I'm not sure how many will post today, but we gotta keep RotW competitive, right?
Jason Venter @honestgamerApr 26, 2013
@zippdementia @overdrive @JoeTheDestroyer I guess it would have irritated me if I died there a lot, but I found the ST1 boss to be so, SO much worse!
Jason Venter @honestgamerApr 26, 2013
@overdrive @JoeTheDestroyer I think that mechanically, 2 is superior, but the first one had enduring charm that better stands the test of time.
Jason Venter @honestgamerApr 26, 2013
I thought I got off easy with this cold. A few days ago, I was feeling mostly better. Now I feel much, much worse. Relapse, ahoy!
Jason Venter @honestgamerApr 25, 2013
I'm testing ZergNet ads at the bottom of HG's pages, to see if they deliver the sort of traffic promised. More info: http://www.zergnet.com?r=5264
Jason Venter @honestgamerApr 25, 2013
Last night, while my wife and I were driving around, I said "We should probably get a new car soon," and then we did... sooner than expected.
Jason Venter @honestgamerApr 25, 2013
Sorry if you're waiting on a copyedit. I'll get to them as possible, but things have been temporarily crazy around here and now I'm on cold medicine.
Jason Venter @honestgamerApr 25, 2013
@jerec There have been some great conversations here already, so that's keep checking in and maybe you won't be able to help yourself!
Jason Venter @honestgamerApr 23, 2013
@JoeTheDestroyer Indeed. It is, as they say, only a day away...
Jason Venter @honestgamerApr 21, 2013
@zippdementia Now you have to play through the second quest of The Legend of Zelda. Beating that one is the REAL accomplishment. First quest is easy!
Jason Venter @honestgamerApr 21, 2013
Updating the games database is such a monstrous project... but we finally have the Turbo listings I've wanted to have for years. Whew!
Jason Venter @honestgamerApr 21, 2013
@Suskie I wouldn't think you'd find it THAT weird, since it was the apparent basis for the system used in Final Fantasy XIII, which you've played.
Jason Venter @honestgamerApr 21, 2013
@JoeTheDestroyer Consider it done!
Jason Venter @honestgamerApr 20, 2013
@Genj Well, I did snag a copy, so maybe sometime I'll play it and see whether or not I agree!
Jason Venter @honestgamerApr 20, 2013
@overdrive I haven't played in years. I remember there being a cabin at the bottom of a mountain trail and I just went left and right nearby to grind.
