I am happy, because Phil Fish was an asshole. It wasn't being passionate or outspoken that drove him to babble about PC being for Spreadsheets, or to withhold post-release support for Fez on Xbox because it was too expensive. It was him being an asshole that prompted that.

A lot of it is on his twitter where he behaves like a huge asshole, blames everyone else for his fuckups, and trolls his supposed fans.

No, but cultivating the kind of online persona and presence that Fish has does.

The thing is, Phil Fish is basically a huge asshole literally constantly on Twitter. Look at his tweets about PCs being for Spreadsheets or whatever. Dude totally has it coming. He's basically the Donald Trump of video games. He has shitty hair and cultivates this quasi-ironic over the top asshole persona for the sake…

The thing that gets me is that of course the alternate Tali design was never going to be used. To paraphrase Patrick Weekes, who worked on the ME games, they at Bioware reckon that no game can ever actually be more than pandering power fantasies, and to suggest otherwise is pretentious.

I like how he sort of tacitly admits but doesn't outright say that moronic shippers are the reason they gave Tali a shitty, boring photoshopped photo for a face.

To be fair, there are a variety of reasons why Nintendo might not want to hook up with the indie scene in Japan. Even setting aside that many of the games are downright creepy, most Japanese devs don't really seem to believe in copyright. I can see it being a minefield.

Isn't the Ouya the one with the misaligned heat sinks and terrible ineffective ventilation? Along with the josytick issues (pictured) it just seems incredibly incompetently put together.

If you don't put it on Ouya, you might actually move a decent number of units vOv

I dunno if I'd say that it's awful, but it's in no way as fully realized a game as SS2. It's fun, but not in the way that it's supposed to be fun, which is why the same people dropped the ball on Invisible War so badly. I think Deus Ex gets the credit that should go to SS2 just because of when it came out.

The steam comparisons all presuppose that Microsoft would offer the same sort of sales, but there's no reason to thin that they would. Steam does it because they have to compete with third parties that sell steam keys at massive discounts, GMG for instance. There's no indication that microsoft would've allowed players…

I personally think Human Revolution's a much better game than the original Deus Ex. If you really look at Deus Ex critically it's really obvious that it's basically just a massive scoping failure where they didn't bother pruning or fixing anything that was broken, and a lot of the fandom comes from taking the piss out…

Yes. Yes it will. And we have photographic proof.

But the real question is: is it as tsundere as the kickstarter promised?

So, what you're saying is that games should feed into the myopic ultra-short term thinking of their players? I don't buy that.

It's worse than a Smartphone though. The heat problems, shitty controller, lack of access to a decent storefront...

How many books have you read? Jesus.

For an admittedly terrible product, sure. But it's still an unethical, dodgy thing to do.

They're attempting to associate their show with E3. They repeatedly talk about "going to E3" and "occupy E3" and shit like that. At the end of the day, it might be legal, but they're still in the wrong.

Nobody has a constitutional right to put on an E3 show without paying for it. vOv
