“The rocket launcher—which is now called, hilariously, the spanker”

Huh, I thought it always was, but now I’m thinking maybe I just always called it that because of Marathon.

Why would he? His job exist to shill for gaming companies.

Geoff charges publishers like Activision-Blizzard hundreds of thousands of dollars to air their trailers on the game awards. And that’s only for the right to air the thing. That doesn’t get into sponsoring parts of the show, having segments on stage etc.

So, Keighley was never likely to say anything that would rock…

I mean are we surprised?

“I use anime titty mouse pads for the comfort” is the new “I read Playboy for the articles.”

Will Mrs. Claus initially present as a sweet old lady and then abruptly start talking about eating assholes? Stay tuned!  

To paraphrase Homer Simpson, just because I don’t care, doesn’t mean I can’t find something interesting.

The joke is it’s Christmas and feltmation but they say “fuck” and stuff. Will there be other jokes besides cute feltmation elves talking about their porn stash and taking a piss? You’ll have to watch to find out! (But probably not.)

They knew it was busted. Let's be real. They didn't release any footage of it.

“The updated versions of these classic games did not launch in a state that meets our own standards of quality, or the standards our fans have come to expect.”

I’ve had my PS5 since launch and I’ve played exactly one of the games on that list: Spider-Man. I played Valhalla on the PC. I don’t understand these kids and their multiplayer games.

This will always remind me about ‘Boots’ Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness. Where the rich person can afford a good pair of boots ($50) that will last for many years whereas the person can only afford to buy an okay pair of boots that still gets wet ($10) and last maybe a season or two.

Depending on where it is it’ll be the land that’s the real future money-maker. 

Unpacking does an amazing job of telling its story through the mechanics, and this level is a perfect example of how. Trying to make room for your things in this level communicates so much about you, about him, about your relationship, about your life, all without a single word.

The following level, the picture of you together, where it’s allowed to go, and where the thumbtacks are placed if you put it on the board were such a wonderful bit of subtle storytelling.

ASL Mocap actually sounds like a really cool idea. hopefully we see a game with that in the future.
