Got stupidly excited for a moment, then noticed no 40,000 at the end of it.

My rule is not to pre-order until the day before release for games I intend to buy Day 1. It's the only way to secure any discount, any given bonus, and have all the information to make an educated decision.

When I was a kid and watched Jimmy V's speech for the first time, I resolved that if I ever had cancer, I'd remember that speech and wouldn't give up, wouldn't ever give up.

You're absolutely right, it doesn't come off as cynical at all and GD seems like an evolution of the concepts it uses. As I said, it looks fun! Just hard to ignore the similarities to something that already existed if you know about them. See it this way - if one had already sunk hours upon hours into TIG and was told…

No, he's right. Geometry Dash is fundamentally identical to The Impossible Game, but there's additions to it that make Geometry Dash its own beast (namely, ripping off Flappy Bird as well). It's a mash up of two (fun!) games that creates one (also fun!) game, but Geometry Dash isn't winning points for originality.

At what point did I wish they would've lost? You FSU fans seem to have awful reading comprehension. Yeah, I'm ripping them. Their implosion was incredible and deserves to made fun of. Doesn't erase what they did, nor should it, but it's over now and people get to crack jokes. Deal with it.

I didn't say they were a loser. They had a magnificent run and imploded just as magnificently. Keep up.

Watching the Seminoles fuck up so badly, it was like they were making up for all the times they should have fucked up in all the comeback wins they had this season but didn't. I've never seen a team quite lose all motor function and poise the way Florida St. did tonight, and it was GLORIOUS.

The bullet shreds enough of the cork for the high pressure gas inside the bottle to escape, which pushed the cork out. Really no different than popping the cork yourself.

I don't know the mental gymnastics and cognitive dissonance required to convince oneself that how Tamir Rice died is okay, but the police should not possess it.

When I was watching the Uncharted 4 trailer the other day and got to the climbing, the very first thought I had was of that article detailing how Snake is such an excellent climber and why Nathan Drake is awful. It was nicely entertaining to see you do a follow-up.

God I haven't seen this gif in years and it's STILL one of the greatest things ever.

Video games are a billion dollar industry.

If there are people who can band together and create this toxic and violent an environment for others simply by identifying themselves as people who play video games, then it suggests that video games need better standards, journalistic and otherwise, no?

Conspiracy theory! Librul media! Control of the press! Hidden Illuminati-esque meetings!

Disagree, firstly because "small markets can't win" is somewhat of a myth, and secondly because two extra teams spreads talent around the league.

It was posited on Twitter by someone, can't remember who, that the NBA should go to 75 games but expand by two teams, which would solve the problems of keeping Turner and ESPN happy (they'd only lose about 10 games off the national slate per season), the players happy (losing 7 game checks but hey, less strenuous…

Yeah, buddy, you're not fooling anybody, let alone me. The notion you present that the women aren't gamers and thus acceptable targets is a completely fucking dumb one. Calling them "attacks" is worse - they're well documented, verified, and show no signs of slowing down.

Brianna Wu received threats and had to flee her home, actions endorsed by plenty of GamerGate patsies, based solely on her criticizing them. Anita Sarkeesian just had to cancel an event because of a mass shooting threat. The whole thing started because they felt Zoe Quinn needed to be destroyed. Then there's the…

I actually thought of Occupy writing that and the key difference, I think is that whenever someone committed a crime like that, it was reported and the perp was immediately ostracized. It was made clear that the protesters wanted nothing to do with that type of behavior.
