@angeldeb82: I did consider including Return of the Obra Dinn in this article as well, but I decided against it because I focused on that game and Lucas Pope in my last big feature: The Hard Costs Of Making A Game Alone. I want to try to cover a wider variety of titles in my features. Good shout though! It's a pretty good game.

@angeldeb82: Thank you! That means a lot.

@doa2169: 100% agree

@hollywood1: A video review for Borderlands 3 is still in the works. For longer games that we get codes for last minute, it can be difficult to get a video review out on time at the same time. Because the reviewer has to play the game, then write the review, then get edits on the review, then write the video review script and record VO, and then a video editor has to put it together. It's just a long process and difficult to do on time for every game when we have a bunch of other games coming out at the same time.

@elementalweapon: I will certainly aspire to do more articles like this one! We do have more stuff like this if you're looking, though. @tempertress has a well-researched video on Ubisoft, the growing importance of player feedback in the game industry, and development crunch. I only really touch on crunch here but she dives much further into it.

@ballashotcaller: You humble me, thank you!

@gagula94: I'm happy this accomplished what it set out to do! I feel like I learned a ton from writing this so I'm happy it's also been informative for others.

@good_coop89: Thanks! I'll try to do more!

@xxmavr1kxx: You're pretty spot on. Just dying over and over won't spread Dragonrot. Neither will reviving yourself over and over if you never happen to actually die. The only way for the Dragonrot to spread is to revive a lot, and then also die. So I've simply decided to just stop using the revive mechanic to keep the Draongrot from spreading in my game.

THAT SAID, it's possible dying could still spread the Dragonrot and it's just so much more slowly that it hasn't happened to me again. I'll just have to see. But as I understand it, reviving a lot and then dying is the path to Dragonrot and just dying allows you to avoid it.

@gamingdevil800: I am watching Boogiepop and I'm LOVING it so far. Even though these awards are being held in 2019, they are technically just for anime that came out between January and December in 2018. Rest assured, I'm going to be clamoring for Boogiepop next year. It's opening--like you said--is FANTASTIC.
