Can somebody explain to me why the world is so excited and forgiving of No Man’s Sky ( a game that as far as I can see has no objectives, nothing to actually ... Do) and so crushingly critical of Star Citizen (the most ambitious game I’ve ever heard of) ? The tone of articles and comments are entirely different and…

“Plus this is miles better than the whole videogame women done like they should be in reality which was basically making female videogame characters overweight and calling that normal.”

Ticket revenue brings in far less money in LA than is lost from lost productivity/shopping time due to traffic nightmares. Anything the city can do to improve traffic flow is going to be a net win for both drivers and the city.

Yes, his writing is bad but it feels cruel for it to be posted here for mocking.

For a series that could have gone "all guns blazing" it did amazing at depth and variety. I mean it DID do "all guns blazing", but backed up by a phenomenal cast and writing it was allowed to indulge in tropes and cliches too. If it later gets revealed Taratino was involved I would not be surprised.

Ha, random. I just threw out my old xbox 360 guitar hero controller yesterday. Not because I didn't think I'd play it again - my cat threw up on it and it was just too gross to clean up.

Why do gamers buy MTX? "Microtransactions, when done properly, can help someone like me who has a steady job, a wife, and two kids to be able to enjoy a game that would normally be a very tough time sink," reported one respondent. As someone who feels like there is never enough time in the day to juggle work, family,…

No, it doesn't.

It's a perception issue, partially, but it's also possible the $30-$100 a month people are saving right now might just be the difference between keeping an old car or feeling confident in buying a new one.

I have an eye for the details! I think it's good; while a funeral is appropriate, having the photo there means that it was more than just some event, they want to remember him. It's a bit like how when Mr. Hooper died on Sesame Street, they did an entire episode about it, but on top of that there was Big Bird's…

In my six years in the Navy I was never on one of those big gray floating things but my dad was on a diesel sub back in the early-mid 60s and he says their swim parties always included somebody on watch with a BAR in case of sharks.

Exactly. I'd rather have six hours of interesting material than a game like InFamous that is the exact same four missions over and over and over endlessly.

"No, seriously, I'm stuck."

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…

Googled Space Ghandi. Was not disappointed lol

Game: The Last of Us

Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare. After committing Bigfoot genocide you come upon the last one and he's just telling you to kill him and get it over with. I've played all the Mass Effect games and agonized over my decisions, but it didn't compare to how shitty I felt about forcing a virtual race of bigfoots…

My greatest personal regret in life is that the games industry is the way it is, because it means I can't earn a stable living doing what I love. I develop business software instead, and I make at least twice as much money, rarely work more than 40 hours a week, and have great benefits.

(The) Forever War. Time dilation etc because the time it takes to get to the battlefield. Read it now. Seriously hits on like all the things you want.

Ender's Game has a bit of this.

Then read the unrelated "Old Man's War" which plays with extended lives.
