The problem is that it's all up to the individual to decide if they want to purchase the game. And if they watch an LP and say "I'm good, I don't need to buy it, watching it was enough", they probably wouldn't have purchased it anyways. It's too narrow-minded to say that become SOME people wouldn't buy something after…

Except YouTube wouldn't be as big as it is without people taking such a massive risk on a growing, unproven (at the time) platform. Joe is only one of thousands. YouTube owes EVERYTHING to the people that constantly create material for them to leech money off of. Yes, the platform allows those people to live, but…

This is exactly what the current laws and some publishers/developers/artists want you to think like at the moment. As soon as you use too much of any one piece of content, they want a share. A mix of some amount of music still vastly relies on the existence of someone else's work. And I'm sure you can tell the…

Yeah, maybe it could have been shorter. But have you never been angry enough at something to just vent, even to yourself, for extended periods of time? That's what Joe does. He gets angry about something, he quickly organizes some semblance of his thoughts, and he records it. It's part of who he is, and that's…

Ahh, but that's just it. There are two KINDS of partners with those MCNs. If you're affiliated, sorry, you're fucked. But if you're a MANAGED partner, like TotalBiscuit is, then you're completely covered. At least according to what was discussed last night on Adam Sessler's podcast Address The Sess. MCNs would be fine…

Oh my good god, yes. The Address the Sess was fantastic last night/this morning. I stayed up until past 6am this morning listening to it, and mulling over it in my head. This is such a serious problem for so many people, and I'm glad that there are so many people talking about it. Given that I know so many people,…

You're entirely missing the point. The point Joe is making is that he and hundreds, possibly thousands, of other content creators are following the TOS and all laws; he even cites a specific point of the Fair Use law. YouTube is punishing people for correctly abiding by their terms, and giving them next to no real way…

Allow me to summarize the point you're trying to make here: everyone has different tastes and opinions. And we don't have to have the same tastes and opinions. So instead of trying to constantly tell us why the game we enjoy is awful, and that the points we're making are wrong, it may be easier in the long run to…

... Hmm. This gets me to wondering, maybe those 6 blank spaces aren't letters; maybe they're numbers. Could be that they're teasing a date to reveal or release something. So, if Saturnalia is in December (foregoing the dates themselves as it takes place over the course of a week), that would numerically represent 12.…

But is it fair for you to say "no" when it's all personal preference anyways? Shouldn't it be more like "no, but give it a shot and see if you like it"? At least, that would seem the logical thing to do.

If Capcom has showed us anything, it's that they don't care what their fans want. They really, really don't care. And hell, the only way that DR2's story was even remotely interesting was with the downloadable Case West, which directly continued the story from DR1. With this... fuck, who knows. It's another new…

Hmm... see, that's all a very individual feeling, though. It isn't necessarily that Remedy screwed up, it's that their ideas in Alan Wake didn't resonate with you like their previous works did. Like, for me, I found Alan Wake MUCH more engaging than Max Payne ever was. And I loved Max Payne, it was one of the coolest…

I'd like to respect your opinions, but it feels like it's just the cool thing to do now... hate on Alan Wake. I mean, you guys both give reasons for not liking it, but you, and many others I've spoken with, never seem to elaborate on what about the game you all dislike. As a game, yes, it could have been better, but…

I know this new enemy is supposed to be an alien race, but I find it odd that their leader (or, at least, the messenger/hidden face from the trailers) isn't being deliberately shown. Why hide a character from view if the player wouldn't recognize them to begin with? My theory is that it's actually Dex, though I really…

It should be noted that this edition of the game isn't yet available for pre-order at EB Games, as the game isn't yet accessible in their system. Just checked less than 2 hours ago, though they anticipate the orders can be made starting tomorrow. Guess we'll see if they're on top of their own stock options.

Such a senseless loss... it's always depressing to see someone get caught up in anothers' poor choices. My condolences to his friends and family.

I suppose that is a possibility, though I would imagine they'll all be working together as a team to decide the rules. It's still Molyneuxs' game, he wouldn't simply give up total control of the rules. It's likely going to be a set of rules the winner gets to decide, or a set of rules for a specific time frame. I…

I'm well versed with the ways of the internet. I just prefer to think that it's possible to have a discussion without resorting to claims that something is awful because one person thinks it's awful. It's one thing to state an opinion, but it's another to insinuate something as fact.

I'm not as disappointed with the negativity from the comments here as I am from you, Luke. It's one thing to have an opinion on the prize, but to the person that wins the prize, it could be pretty goddamn cool. How about waiting to see the results of the GODUS rules and just how well the game does BEFORE condemning…

You don't have to trust his promises, but at least give the outcome of Curiosity a chance before you assume it's crap. The sheer fact that someone basically got a position helping work on the game, plus profits from sales of the game, is relatively unique and quite a lot more than Peter's been able to deliver in…
