Yes! I legitimately love this one as a short film. It’s a fucking trip.

Well, they are damn good.

I think empathy also doesn’t equate with an outright emotional reaction, so I’m hoping (and would suspect) the reps would exhibit empathy in more stable forms than an outburst. Obviously, it varies from person to person, but I don’t think my own stints in therapy would have been productive if my therapist hadn’t been…

I like Fallout 3/NV, but I prefer TES because the world is just more dense. The wasteland is, understandably, a scarce place, but the empty wandering doesn’t quite do it for in the way Skyrim’s stumbling upon who knows what does.

Same here. I grew up in Texas around guns, so I honestly get the appeal. My dad was pretty strict on the safety thing. But I also think it’s insane that we don’t have national standards for a licensing or registration system. We even have states preventing the creation of them! That’s crazy to me! The gun control…

I use to change my name to stupid shit in Steam all the time purely for the “[x] killed [y]” thing. There was a glorious period where people in Team Fortress 2 got so angry at me just because my name was VoteMcCain2008. I wouldn’t even say anything, but people would see I killed someone or vice versa and immediately…

I’m going to reply to your insightful and wonderful post with a book I had as a kid, and I was regifted as an adult on a lark:

I really like The Seven Storey Mountain as a memoir about how someone came to “find God.” Obviously, I disagree with the philosophical endpoint, but I think it’s a great and accessible look at the internal struggle for meaning.

As someone who turn that hard left turn into atheism after spending his childhood thinking he’d go to seminary: hey, this sounds pretty cool! I particularly like that, by making the bad guy religious as well, it touches upon the mutli-faceted nature of “faith” as a humanistic drive. I wish more games, even when…

Yup. It’d be the even worse version of your point. They’d basically have to eat two cycles here: make a system comparable to X1/PS4 and then rush to put out another system on parity with their future consoles at the same time. They’ve gotten on a weird, off-cycle that’s gonna make it tough.

There’s also some bad compositing in the trailer that I hope they fix:

7.

The Wii version was always capable of widescreen/480p. The Gamecube version had 480p but was 4:3.

Before everyone else’s? I seriously doubt we will see a PS5 or Xbox One 2: The Xboxening anytime soon.

Oh my God.

That’s his face without blemishes? Moisturizer didn’t make it through the end of the world, huh?

“Buzzfeed... More like Buzzard feed!” Damn. That’s some quality ownage right there. Probably took a long time and a few drafts to nail such beauty.

They probably just don’t read books written ironically unless it’s peppered with adverbs and adjectives saying so. [Thomas Mann rolls over in his grave, but hardly anyone is reading him anyways]

Oh, hey, Chris Christie is a Deadspin commenter!
