To the Moon would be an amazing movie. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind meets Inception.

Wait, are you saying that you don’t openly condemn someone based on vague interpretations of hearsay accounts where no parties were named?

You must be such a misogynist.

And now his (Over)Watch is ended.

Just have a five year moratorium on babies. Mandatory abortions for five years (start 9 months from now and grandfather in any pregnancies currently underway). Everyone will realize what a waste of time babies are and move on with their lives.

So, I’ll try to be as clear as I can be here, since I feel maybe I haven’t been.

For 38 Studios to stay afloat, the game would have had to move around 3 Million units. Which was well above EA projections. And yes, this doesn’t mean the game was a failure (I personally think it’s a great game).

Lincoln Chafee doesn’t…

And projections =/= operating cost

A publisher can make money while a writer starves. These are things that exist.

38 Studios was not EA. EA knows the markets. 38 Studios clearly didn’t.

Oh that’s right. Polaris was that band from The Adventures of Pete and Pete.

The game itself didn’t lose money, but the studio did. That’s the key detail. The studio had to move 3 Mil units at full price, and didn’t come close. The game met the budget but the studio expected a very (unrealistic) high yield return.

That sounds vaguely familiar. I’ll go with it.

It was actually planned to lead to an action RPG MMO in the same universe (I think it was tentatively titled Polaris or something like that), but the game just didn’t end up moving enough units (mostly the fault of management. The game sold well, but would have had to sell Call of Duty numbers just to break even).

I thought they were a WAD.

I’m going to quote my stepfather again. “The world doesn’t give two shits about your feelings, and your offense is meaningless. Grow up.”

The difference between offense and murder is that murder has an actual physical effect and ramifications that are predictable (i.e., someone dies). Offense relies entirely on…

and, say what you will, the metaphor is pretty damn accurate.

It did. My stepfather instilled in me a very dark, crass sense of humor and taught me to never be offended, because it doesn’t do anything.

My stepfather is awesome.

This is how my stepfather explained DDoS to me when I was 14:

So imagine your mom is getting gangbanged. Now, she can handle 5 dicks tops. 7 If you use her ears. Anyways, if there are 30 guys trying to get off using your mom, they have to wait. The problem is, if all these guys start pushing and shoving dildos around,…

Luke, you forgot my precious trigger warning.

Now I am emotionally scarred because I’ve seen a woman’s buttcheek. My safe space has been violated. You should be fired.

No, my original post was:

“1. Things that have any impact on society

“If you read carefully, I’ve never made the claim that a single video game, or even it as a hobby, has effected society at large.”

Cool, then you agree with me and I don’t have to read the rest of the post.
