The Games We Loved In 2013

There are more worthy games, made for more people, than ever. Here are the ones BuzzFeed couldn’t put down this year.

In 2013, people play too many games, in too many ways, for a list of "best" games to hold its meaning across contexts. What does the harried mother with an iPhone care if the new Zelda lets her play dungeons out of order? What does the 10-year-old virtual architect care about the philosophical implications of BioShock? What does the 24 year old Battlefield addict care about the genre subversions of Gone Home?

This year, there were more worthy games, made for more people, than ever. Some of the tightest, smartest, most devious game design this year can be found not in big budget spectaculars (though there were plenty of those) but in games targeted at commuters, kids, people who have no interest spending hours and hours in front of a television or a monitor.

With that fact in mind, I decided to poll the editorial staff here, some of them rabid gamers, some of them anything but, and asked them: What were the games, released, rereleased, or popularized this year, that captivated you? Their answers ranged from the most traditional big studio games to the most heavily monetized mobile distractions, from iterations to originals, from the delightful to the disturbing. Also, I snuck in a few of my own.

Happy holidays, and I hope that you choose to share in some of the joy BuzzFeed got from games in 2013.

Via gameinformer.com

"This game is weird, and hard, and SO SO GOOD. Like miss-your-subway-stop, cancel-dinner-with-your-cousin good. You choose your own adventure for the bulk of it — there's no order to the dungeons and all crucial items are available for rent from the get-go — which, as I wrote about here, is both unsettling and liberating. It's also incredibly fun to be able to bend the rules of Zelda-physics: Link has the ability to merge with walls and slip through tiny cracks, which breathes a ton of life into the usual game map and makes wonderful, intuitive use of the 3DS as a platform. If I could have anything for Christmas it would be that Nintendo would finally, finally re-release Majora's Mask for the 3DS and then I would probably never go to work or see my loved ones again, oh well."

Jon Stewart: "Duck Dynasty" Star Shouldn't Be Booted From Show For "Saying Ignorant Shit"

0
0

The Daily Show host weighed in Thursday night on Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson, who was suspended by A&E for his controversial comments on homosexuality in a GQ Magazine interview.

"Look, I think what the guy said is ignorant, but I also have an inclination to support a world where saying ignorant shit on television doesn’t get you kicked off that medium," Jon Stewart said. "I guess I stand with the free speech absolutists at Fox News, who don't believe you should pressure people to have to adhere to cultural norms of speech — mostly."

youtube.com

An A&E executive told The New York Times on Thursday it was Robertson's overt comparison between bestiality and homosexuality that prompted the suspension.

The Robertson family issued a statement Thursday on the suspension, thanking fans for their support and suggesting the show's future is in doubt without the patriarch.

"We have had a successful working relationship with A&E but, as a family, we cannot imagine the show going forward without our patriarch at the helm. We are in discussions with A&E to see what that means for the future of Duck Dynasty," the statement said.

Has Phil Robertson seen The Fluffer ?

TLA Releasing

A decade before Scott Gurney created Duck Dynasty, he starred as a gay porn star in a 2001 movie called The Fluffer, an unmentioned but delightful fact in the background of the show's recent conflagration over Phil Robertson's homophobic comments to GQ. But it's not a secret either; The Fluffer, which was an independent film that played at the 2001 Toronto International Film Festival, is right there on Gurney's IMDb page.

I called Gurney Productions — which Gurney founded in 2005 with his wife, Deirdre — to ask for a comment. I was told no one gets connected to Scott on the phone, and I should send an email. (I did.) A spokesman for A&E also didn't immediately return an email requesting a comment.

Gurney's character in The Fluffer is gay-for-pay and a meth addict. He becomes the object of obsession for a male film student who gets a job as his on-set fluffer. It's dark! It was directed by Wash West and Richard Glatzer.

Here's one of several YouTube odes to The Fluffer

The 50 Cutest Things That Happened This Year

Olympic Gold Medalist Ted Ligety Expects Athlete Shows Of LGBT Support In Sochi

0
0

“I’m sure someone will make a statement because it is an issue that so many people feel strongly about,” the Alpine skier says.

Srdjan Zivulovic / Reuters

The United States' best hope for a gold medal in men's Alpine skiing says he expects to see an athlete make a prominent gesture of support for LGBT rights at the upcoming Sochi Olympics.

Ted Ligety won gold in Turin in 2006 and is a strong favorite this time around in Sochi, where the Russian government has recently passed multiple anti-LGBT laws and the Russian government and International Olympic Committee are aiming to control protests at the Winter Olympics.

Ligety, though, doubts that will stop all athletes from speaking out.

"I wouldn't be surprised if we see a moment like that. Of the scarier countries in the world to make a political statement, Russia might be one of the worst places to do so. I think it'll be tough. They're obviously trying to dissuade that kind of stuff. I don't know exactly what we'll see, but I'm sure someone will make a statement because it is an issue that so many people feel strongly about," he told BuzzFeed.

Ligety is one of the U.S. Olympic Committee's most high-profile and marketable Olympic veterans. (He's already a member of "Team Kellogg's.") In February, he won three gold medals at the world championships in Austria, the first alpine skier in 45 years to pull off such a feat. The following month, Ligety won his fourth career World Cup title in giant slalom and finished third in the overall standings, his best-ever placing. It's little wonder that the USOC just named him its 2012-13 Olympic SportsMan Of The Year, the first male alpine skier to ever win the award.

Though Ligety himself said he does not plan to make any sort of statement on Russia's anti-LGBT "propaganda" law during competition, his opinion on it is unambiguous.

"I do believe that what they're doing with respect to gay rights is wrong and unfortunate," Ligety said. "I think everyone should have the right to be happy and love who they want to love. That's my belief system. And it's definitely inconsistent to what their government says, but I also don't think I'm in a position to change their policies."

It was a very, very, very good year to be a moviegoer. So rather than argue endlessly, trying to winnow down 2013's crop of fabulous filmmaking to a standard top 10 list, the BuzzFeed Entertainment team culled together our separate lists of favorites into a mega-list of 27 movies that surprised us, charmed us, and made us laugh and cry and gasp and swoon. These may not be your top picks — they probably aren't! — so please think of this as a snapshot of our favorite films this year.

Just as Pixar seemed to be hitting an unfortunate creative slump, Walt Disney Animation Studios hit a home run with this animated musical that harkens back to studio’s 1990s heyday. The songs are witty and memorable, the humor bright and surprising, and the sisters at the center of the film are the kind of forthright, self-determined heroines that should be far more commonplace in the movies. —Adam B.

The Way Way Back

The Way Way Back

Written by: Nat Faxon and Jim Rash

A fraught family trip to the beach for quiet 14-year-old Duncan (Liam James) — with his oblivious mother (Toni Colette) and her smarmy boyfriend (Steve Carell) — turns into a summer of discovery when Duncan finds a job at a local water park. He also finds a sense of belonging, under the wing of sophomoric manager Owen (Sam Rockwell). Sweet without becoming saccharine, The Way Way Back is a funny and knowing look at tiptoeing on the edge of adolescence. —Jace Lacob

27 Reasons Singapore Is The Most Delicious Place On Earth

0
0

It’s hard to believe all of this deliciousness even fits on such a tiny island.

Chili Crab

Chili Crab

WHAT IT IS: A whole crab is cooked in a sweet, spicy, tomato-y sauce, often finished with coddled eggs for added texture. It's super messy, but any reputable restaurant will bring a bowl of warm water with a lemon slice along with your chili crab, because napkins alone won't be enough to clean your hands afterward.

WHY IT'S DELICIOUS: The meat gets really tender and takes on the sweet chili/tomato flavor completely. Fried mantou (a slightly sweet, white bread) is usually served alongside the dish to mop up every last bit of sauce.

Here's a recipe.

seafoodparadise.com.sg

100Plus

100Plus

WHAT IT IS: Basically a soda marketed as a sports drink. I would say it's like a cross between Gatorade and Sprite, but that wouldn't do justice to its bizarrely addictive deliciousness.

WHY IT'S DELICIOUS: It's sweet, it's fizzy, and it's tangy. Beyond that, you need to taste it for yourself to really understand the appeal.

100plus.com.sg

Hainanese Chicken Rice

Hainanese Chicken Rice

WHAT IT IS: Chicken is poached with ginger and pandan leaves, then the rice is toasted in oil and cooked in the super-flavorful poaching liquid.

WHY IT'S DELICIOUS: Despite its unassuming name and beige-ness, chicken rice is magical. The ginger flavor is undeniable in the always-moist chicken, and the oily rice has a really meaty flavor.

If you want to try making it at home — it won't be the same, but it'll still be amazing — this recipe from Rasa Malaysia is a really good one.

Char Siew Bao

Char Siew Bao

WHAT IT IS: A Cantonese pork bun that's available at hawker centers — open-air food courts that are everywhere in Singapore — and dim sum restaurants. Subtley sweet, fluffy bread is filled with pulled roast pork in a sweet barbecue sauce, then steamed.

WHY IT'S DELICIOUS: The bun is impossibly soft, the pork is perfectly tender, and the meat-to-sauce ratio is completely perfect.

Here's a recipe.

Weddings and Football: Fall’s Two Irrational Obsessions

0
0

How watching the Buffalo Bills lose and my friends get married helped me realize I have a lot of growing up to do.

Me dressed as Buffalo Bills quarterback Jim Kelly for Halloween sometime in the mid-’90s.

"Don't fucking talk to me about expectations!"

Roughly a year and a half ago, I was belligerently lecturing two of my former college roommates — both New England Patriots fans — in a Cleveland sports bar. I had just watched the Bills turn a 21-point lead into a 34-point loss. I had already been reprimanded for my language by the bar staff, and my girlfriend had been ashamed to be sitting next to me for quite some time.

I had really high hopes for the Buffalo Bills in 2012 — delusional hopes. We had just signed one of the best defensive players in the NFL and had the pieces to have one of the most explosive offenses in the league — at least that's what I told myself. That August I had flooded the unfortunate ears of friends and strangers with my theory that "THIS IS THE YEAR."

It wasn't even close to being The Year. And on that day, fueled by Miller Light, spiced rum, orange soda, and the residue of the night before, my expectations coming apart in front of me, I was gradually losing my sanity. It was the last weekend of September, and we were nearing the end of a 72-hour celebratory bender. I had been in town since Thursday night, which I now know is far too long to spend in Cleveland. One of our college roommates had gotten married the day before. He was first of our formerly tight-knit group to dive into this adulthood thing everyone seems to be talking about.

Growing up, the trademarks of autumn were going back to school, losing your awesome new pens in about two weeks, and football season. It didn't matter whether or not you played; hell, it didn't even matter if you cared. It's what people watched and talked about. For many, fall football develops into a dependence that can be as comforting as that warm bourbon on a cold night — and as hard to shake.

But once you enter your mid-twenties, a new autumn staple comes into play. Those strangers you met over the years in class, on the athletic fields, in the dorm, or near the keg start getting married. Pretty soon weekend plans in September, October, and November start revolving around nuptials, not football.

The last couple of years I've been lucky enough to combine these autumn obsessions: two Saturday weddings and two Sunday Bills-Patriots games. These scheduling miracles have resulted in my favorite weekends since college. I've been able to watch my friends smile on Saturday, and they've been able to see me pout on Sunday. Sometimes the fourth quarter is forgotten in a whiskey-coated malaise. Sometimes a friend skips a flight home to spend the night with our spider-tattooed waitress. Sometimes we just eat a lot of nachos.

But life is rarely this convenient, and I realize that, soon, the schedule will change. Bills v. Pats is a debaucherous rest stop on our divergent paths toward maturity. We used to be a bunch of middling high school athletes who took intramurals way too seriously. We bonded over sports. Now we're scattered across the country and the workforce settling into lives we're uncertain of. One friend is a successful trader at a hedge fund, unhappy about being forced to work nights for three years, yet is hesitant to leave his job. Another is a career academic who has dedicated his life to the classics, but now that he's on the verge of pursuing his doctorate at an elite university, he's unsure if he wants to commit his life to studying. The wildcard of the group is on a five-year bar crawl up the west coast, yet is arguably the most financially successful among us. Meanwhile, I've stood by and watched friends get engaged and buy houses while sleeping in a twin bed in my childhood home and watching sports.

Professional sports are pure entertainment — a distraction. By definition, professional sports do not matter. Fans and athletes don't even have a college experience in common: It's just our money for their performance. And rational humans don't scream at the television, lose sleep over losses, or cry over championships won by people with whom they have a business relationship.

When it comes to football season, I'm not always known for making rational decisions. At times I've put watching Buffalo Bills games ahead of family, work, my financial well-being, and, most regrettably, my relationship with my girlfriend. Sundays that I should have spent getting ahead on work I've watched the Bills lose to the Browns. I've wasted money I should have been saving to move out into an apartment on buffalo wings and Bud Light. When I recently watched a game with my mom and brother — who I don't see often — I spent more time with my teeth clenched, tweeting obscenities, than I did enjoying their company. I always said, "All I ask is for four hours on 16 Sundays between September and December," without exceptions. I always thought this was reasonable. I've always been wrong.

The Buffalo Bills haven't been to the playoffs in 14 seasons — I was 12 the last time they were. As the losses pile up every Sunday, I've started to notice that my girlfriend genuinely cares if they win or lose because she wants to see me happy. She's supported me like a fan.

There are good reasons to watch sports, and one is that sometimes we need a hopeful distraction to keep us from overdosing on stress or drowning in misery. Sports can uplift the human spirit. Sports can be transcendent, and it's easy (and not necessarily a bad thing) to get hooked on the hoping for transcendence. Meanwhile, being in love and getting married is society's most acceptable form of long-term insanity. You put the wants and needs of someone else ahead of yourself, hoping it will work. You give things up. You do it all knowing that it might not work. A lot of people do it knowing that it didn't even work for their own parents. But it might work for you. You might be that couple 30 years down the line holding hands and watching your kid graduate from college. You might win the championship.

I've seen my friends cannonball into a pool without looking down. Their trust is unwavering even if their eyes are slightly watery.

All these weddings have forced me to take a crash course in being an adult. In the past few months I've purchased my first suit, rented my first car, dry-cleaned my first suit, and had to call my first locksmith. And I've been forced to confront my own uncertain future and continually arrested development. Next month is going to be the first time I move out of my childhood bedroom since I returned from college — I'm 26 years old. I graduated high school ready to conquer the world. I graduated college having no idea how I was going to conquer anything. So I made excuses: the recession, the economy, loans, no car, no internships, my job was below me, "I don't know what I want to do."

But now, after dragging my feet like a kid whose parents are carrying him to the bathtub, I committed to something more than a team that lets me down: spending every day with someone who doesn't. I'm moving in with my girlfriend and taking a very large step — it's nowhere near marriage — but it's something.

We've been programmed to be cautiously optimistic about autumn since the first time we shoulder a backpack. We worry about whether we'll have class with our friends. We worry about how we'll do in those classes. These days, in the fall I hope the Bills finally turn it around. I hope to not fear what's coming. And I hope I finally grow up.

Recently, while I was writing this, another one of my closest friends from college got engaged. And wouldn't you know, the wedding is tentatively planned for September 2015. Another Bills vs. Pats game, maybe. By then I hope my friends ask me about expectations, because I'm finally tired of running away from them.

I left a job before Christmas one year, and heard about the 'party' from friends there. It was held in January, at the boss's huge house to save money. He tried to get as many of the younger, gullible/desperate women to attend as possible. When they got there they found he had big 'arty' murals of naked women on the walls. He kept mentioning his hot tub loudly, then kicked everyone out at 8:30pm when he got sick of it/realised no-one was going to shag him.
