“Games as service” is industry-speak for “release a half-finished game at full price”.

If that’s the case, then they should be named “homo daemones”. This half-Latin / half-English translation is weird and feels like some juvenile attempt at a double-entendre.

People who live/work near the new SF arena are mostly annoyed at what it will do to traffic and parking.

I have an uncle who has repeatedly told a story of the time he got to meet the Beatles backstage at a concert when he was in college.

LMFAO this take. The Warriors already won a title without KD, and since they signed him they’re 33-1 in games where Curry is in but KD is out.

Since the team plays in Oakland, I'm not sure why that makes any difference.

This is why non-historians shouldn't attempt to write history books.

So just to clarify: Activision will release a new game called Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, which will be the 16th entry in the Call of Duty Series and the 5th entry in the Modern Wafare series. But this is also a soft-reboot of the Modern Warfare series, which began with the 4th game in the Call of Duty series. And I…

Dude. He's just not that into you.

A Song of Ice and Fire is a series of fantasy novels written by a New Jersey man who wears unfortunate hats in public. A Game of Thrones is the title of the first novel in this series.

Diddy Kong Racing for N64 was a great kart game.

For the same reasons music and movies went the way of the cloud: convenience, selection, pricing.

This. Microsoft got destroyed by Sony in this console war generation. But if cloud/streaming/subscription gaming is the long-term future of the industry (which looks increasingly likely), Microsoft is light years ahead of Sony on that front. I'm curious what Microsoft gets out of this partnership in the immediate term.

Unlikely in this case. Flamengo has been around for over a hundred years and they’ve pretty much always used some version of that pattern on their main uniforms.

Martin has said in interviews that he gave Benioff and Wise a broad outline of the series ending and major plot points several years ago, specifically because he knew the show would wrap up long before he was done writing the books.

Dany spent her entire life thinking that she “owns” an entire continent and everything/everyone in it.

There’s this weird rose-colored pop culture idea of Woodstock as this 3-day musical utopia where everyone had a great time. I wasn’t there, so I can’t definitively say otherwise.
