At the time it was coined I’d say it used mostly negatively as people were extremely angry about all the ‘features’ it was going to have until they walked pretty much all of them back. Chiefly:

1. Forced Kinect with a higher price tag due to it, they even insisted it wouldn’t work if the Kinect was unplugged.

2. Your…

New Game + is already in the game for once.

Huge shame Curry is leaving, Rapture’s music was really beautiful stuff. I still remember this piece kicking in vividly:

an organization that came about because the government threatened to intervene (ESRB)

This isn’t capital-C censorship in the government sense, but this is censorship in the way we have been using that word in relation to media for DECADES. Only now that the family-value types aren’t the ones calling for it are people trying to separate the two and claim one isn’t censorship.

When we have two versions of…

Way too dramatic IMO, they were clearly going for fun here. Something in the way of ‘They Call Me The Breeze’ probably would’ve more matched the tone.

I just want the same exact version they used in the trailer, it’s really good and I can’t find it so it’s probably something Bethesda did themselves.

Do you understand what a strawman is? If I was making up the hyperbolic stuff people were saying Bethesda games were, that’d be a strawman. I’m not. People are literally describing games loved by millions of people as ‘soulless husks of games’, everything Bethesda’s ever made. That’s actually happening, it’s not a…

People are literally in here acting like all Bethesda games are the worst games ever made. The hyperbole because people are mad that they don’t make arcane unwieldy CRPGs is off the charts.

If having high standards means thinking that Oblivion and Skyrim are ‘soulless husks of games’, you keep them. I don’t want’em.

I just wish I could figure out the version they used, I like it a lot better than Denver’s. At this point I’ve given up and figure it must be in-house, youtube and iTunes have failed me.

It’s referencing the novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick, which was the basis for the movie Blade Runner. The pokemon there are Mareeps, who are electric types that look like sheep, and they’re dreaming about androids.

...no? I was exaggerating for comedic effect.

If you bring Cheeseburger with you, you are signalling that you have given up on the very idea of stealth. His two perks are, ‘Will Attack Things No Matter What’ and ‘Draws Attention’. He is the antithesis of subtlety.

I was kind of expecting this when they had the whole “one more thing” going on

Hopefully they finish before the next Elder Scrolls comes out and everyone jumps ship to remake Oblivion in THAT game instead.

And we’ve got FFXIV’s 4.2 patch dropping tomorrow!

Your hypotheticals are wrapped up in hypotheticals, the question isn’t about if it they ever could have conquered the world but if they were actually, in reality at any point, ‘on the brink of it’. They weren’t. There was a hell of a lot more left of the world to conquer even when they were at their peak and acting…

‘On the brink of conquering the world’ means way more than a mere desire to do so. Just because there was ‘participation’ on every continent doesn’t mean they were anywhere near ‘the brink of conquering’ all of those continents. The Nazis were terrible enough, we don’t need to engage in hyperbole to make them even…

brink of conquering the entire world
