Sean Young limo scene.

Independent of its sexiness, No Way Out, which went to the trouble of actually filming in DC, then decided to invent a Metro station in Georgetown instead of, you know, moving the action a few blocks.

That attitude of “eh, good enough” permeates the whole film, unfortunately.

I have always taken issue with the discourse around Quiet which always just sounded to me like slut-shaming.

slut shaming is something done to actual women, not oversexualized female characters made by and for men. criticizing quiet’s design is criticizing the men who made her, not quiet herself

I’m not watching this video, but it should be noted that Indian food is the greatest culinary achievement in history. 

Not sure how you justify calling it a not very good adventure game when reception to it was generally positive when it was released, so it isn’t just nostalgia driving interest in the game. And even if it isn’t the best adventure game it’s hard to deny it’s one of the more unique. There have been adventure games with…

I cannot stop thinking that this is a huge amount of drama for a not very good adventure game (honestly, Westwood has only one good adventure) among the many many forgotten, overlooked and underrated point n click jewels released around that time. I mean, this is one of those cases where all the comments about the…

Even on PS5, Digital Foundry discovered that so far, none of the games released up to this point actually “need” the 5500 MB/s recommendation. In fact, SSDs that are below that speed actually work in the PS5 as long as the hardware interface is PCIe Gen 4. Games like Rift Apart were shown to exhibit zero noticeable…

SSD speeds are conflated and specious in practical use. You need VERY specific circumstances to actually come close to the max speed and even then, once you run out of cache, which is quite fast on even the largest drives, the speeds tank anyway.

Most console games (prior to the latest PS5 and Xbox) that need disk access are designed with mechanical hard drives in mind — typically pretty low-grade mechanical drives, too — so even running on a SATA SSD is a massive upgrade for them.  Console ports often have significant issues, but disk speed is never one of…

I worked on this game as a Game Designer. It was going to be epic and was doing things that weren’t done in open world games at the time. It had an excellent Meta Game as well as a finely crafted story by an industry veteran.

This is also one of the best teams I had the opportunity to work with during my career. It was…

Uh, SF Rush 64. That was AWESOME. The sense of speed and exploration and generally just the fun of being able to goof around - as in Burnout Paradise. Thanks for reminding me :)

I don’t know why it’s so hard to just consider 3D sonic to be an open world racing game. Like, just make Burnout with the ability to jump at will. Forget platforming for the most part. Switchable POV like in racing games. I’ve been playing San Francisco Rush 64 lately and even that had exploration and collectibles,…

I’m not a game designer so maybe I don’t understand, but how hard is it to take the Halo Infinite Campaign and just add co-op to it?

Exactly! Which is why it’s so diabolical that they’re twisting the very alphabet itself to do their bidding! What’s next, a list of popular video game mascots that starts with Valve’s very own Arty the Acrobatic Aardvark? Have they no shame??

It is amusing to note, given this lack of hierarchy, they happened to put their own game top of the list.

I liked the game and its sequel but I don’t think I’d go so far to say it’s one of the best shooters ever.

When a racist psychopath kills double digits of people in Germany, it’s a major event that shocks the entire nation and gets declared a terrorist attack.

History?  Psh.  This is no different from a thousand Pakistani ladies making tshirts for pennies a day so someone can sell them to Americans for 30$ each and get rich, and that's happening right tf now.   

How quickly people forget that this has already been tried. EA put in-game ads into Battlefield 2142 back in 2006. It uhh... didn’t go over well.
