Oops, I really need to stop missing those Weekly Webcomic Wrapups. Read more
Well, turns out that my game of the year so far, is a game I’m too chickenshit to play myself, and it’s actually not that great of a game anyway. SOMA, the new title by the folks behind the first Amnesia, offers one of the most interesting pieces of Sci-Fi I’ve seen in years however. It’s a story that keeps you guessing all the way through and is asking some really great questions. Shame it’s a horror title.
But what’s everybody playing over the weekend? Read more
Wasn’t there supposed to be some Gamescom stuff? Oh, I’m not supposed to talk about that? Well, fine. So let’s talk about the latest in gaming... Sorry, no idea. I’m completely out of the loop. All I know at the moment is MGS (awesome), Mad Max (somewhere between meh and fun) and a game I’m not allowed to talk about.
I might get back into streaming and video, but my accent is still super thick and since my 90€ editing software is still not working (fuck you Cyberlink with your shit software and support, and fuck you Amazon for not allowing refunds on downloads), the quality will probably suck.
But enough with the nonsense, what is everybody playing? Read more
Time for a special episode of the Weekly Webcomic Wrapup! This week, we’ll only give you Metal Gear Solid related ones, because apparently the comic community really likes the concept of Fulton extractions. Read more
You’ve probably already noticed that things reeeeally slowed down. Well, we lost some writers and those left are busy playing games or being at conventions. Twinstiq will of course continue, but it would be really swell if we could find some more people who want to write for us or produce videos.
Don’t worry, there aren’t any obligations. This is a community run website and therefore just for the fun of sharing opinions, news and that thing you found on the internet which you totally want to show everybody. Like this for example:

Turns out that the PC version of Metal Gear Solid 5 is still the ultimate one. Not because the console versions have performance issues or look much worse (they don’t), but because you can do this on a PC Read more
Are you ready for some 90’s nostalgia? If so, Ex-Joystiq Editor Danny Cowan has you covered. Read more
Metal Gear Solid is out. Mad Max is out. What a great time to be sick.
I went for MGS and what I got wasn’t exactly what I expected. It’s more Ubisoft than MGS. Splinter Cell meets Far Cry meets Assassin’s Creed, with plenty of silly sprinkled in.
A great game, no question about it, but not story driven and therefore not Metal Gear Solid. Where are my hour long cutscenes? Whats up with all the collectible shit? Hundreds of side missions?
The gameplay is great, the amount of content you get for the money is outstanding for a game like this, you can listen to Kids In America while your horse takes a shit on civilians that got burnt to a crisp, and there is enough Hideo Kojima (non)sense in it for me to love it, but as someone who fucking adored MGS2, I feel this little speck of “disappointment dust” in my eye, and the more I try to rub it out, the more it itches.
But what is everybody else playing this weekend?
We finally have a new episode of the Podcast for your enjoyment.
