His entire career of mishandling the IP he’s in charge of. Venom being forced in Spider-Man 3, thus ruining the film Sam Raimi wanted to make and making him walk away from the planned Spider-Man 4, entire Arad’s fault. Both Amazing Spider-Man films, he and Amy Pascal’s fault. Venom, that’s Arad and Pascal as well. Ghos…

They’ve had two iterations of the game — the original release in 2016 and Championship Edition at the end of last year/early this year. That collected all of the seasons of DLC characters and was basically the definitive edition until this new announcement. I don’t think they do an EX/Super/Hyper edition right on the…

The start of SF5 was a misstep. They’ve gathered themselves and it’s back to being a top tier fighter. 

What! Everyone loves SF4. And while they made some bad decisions with SF5, it’s still fine.

That is not even remotely true.

What was I supposed to do, welch on a BMX race? Get the BMX people involved? The Council of 12?

On one hand, a hundred year plague sweeping the globe. On the other, Rad in 4K. You really have to take the good with the bad. 

It’s not just Blu-Ray - it’s also a 4K disc as well.

i’m sorry your boss’s kids get you saddled with extra work, but, lol, AC1 had very little content. this kid was right (and as the guy noted, they volunteered to get this done, kinda blowing apart your entire tirade)

You can cool it on shitting on a little kid, who for all intents and purposes—even if he wasn’t the intended audience—was right. The first Assassin’s Creed has pityingly little to do outside of the main storyline, which the Devs agreed on, and the game would’ve been criticized for it.

Steam being the only place to purchase something isn’t the same as Steam exclusivity. Steam didn’t pay Firaxis to only put their games on their platform.

I can commiserate. For me, Doom 2016 was exactly 5 lbs of shit in a 5 lb bag, not one ounce more or less (good shit, not...you know, poop). Doom Eternal took that same bag, scooped a handful out, and then proceeded to dump 5 more lbs of shit into an already nearly-full bag.

I’m not sure you realize exactly what that would entail.

On the flipside, the internet as we know it couldn’t exist is companies were held responsible for the actions of private individuals using their services.

American Dad is legitimately a great show. I don’t know what season it was where the writing team shifted, but it’s a great show. I love the holiday episodes, and any Roger episode is always a treat. It’s unsurprising to me that they would have this level of depth for a one-off joke.

Not related, but sending good vibes your way given the current scenario at your employer.

Current Hertz employee here. Contrary to popular belief these are probably the best taken care of used rentals you can buy. Unless something went really wrong at some point, these aren’t getting into the hands of the weekend traveler who reserved a Yaris, they’re being rented by people who actually are willing to fork…

Which means a lot people (like myself) probably weren’t aware of it. I’m an old, and that means back in my day if you bought something and then it went on sale, you were SOL. Honestly I assumed that was still the standard. Glad businesses are being a little more considerate to the consumers now.

These “I’m going to call out the other side’s fanboys before they have a chance to call me out first” comments always come across as really desperate.

Consumers were largely dedicated to Steam as the dominant marketplace and unhappy with having to install a new client to play games that were exclusive to the Epic Games Store. But Steam’s monopoly on the PC gaming market also meant that Valve had no incentive to improve the experience.
