Hmmm, I’m not sure “living room PC” was the original pitch. And I’d actually argue that what gamers got upset about was a mix of always online, no preowned games, and some sort of strange, smug messaging that told people that, if they didn’t like it, they were welcome to buy a 360.

I have been saying for a while now that if the Xbox team really wanted to make a splash, they’d have made a living room PC and used their brand to succeed where Valve failed. The Xbox One X seems so unappealing to me. Unless third-party publishers are going to start releasing new games at 60FPS on Xbox One X (they’re…

It’s okay. Back in 2003, I ranted to my brother that 2 Fast 2 Furious looked like a total ripoff of The Fast & The Furious. #duhdoy

Looks like a parody of destiny 2 to me, a few stickers thrown ontop of something that already existed ;)

Ohhh, now I have to try it... :)

I found it to be rather lackluster. I didn’t like the game mechanics it had. Like the shooting felt weird and you had to do these stunts to unlock better tools? I don’t know, they weren’t very fun.

I mean, that’s essentially how collectables are sold, and goes back to Blue Jango’s Transformers comparison. You can totally sell a limited run of something, jack the mark up sky high, and expect it to sell. But to my eyes the selling price is pretty reasonable, so it still doesn’t make sense why the supply is being…

If Nintendo is making less profit than they could otherwise be making, then Nintendo doesn’t benefit from this plan. The goal of selling everything they produce doesn’t make sense compared to the goal of satisfying market demand and simultaneously making a greater profit while also making more customers happy. The…

It’s not about making the most profit?Why defend a practice if it results both in fewer people getting a product they want and the company making less money than they could have? Who benefits from Nintendo not meeting market demand?     

This isn’t a product that people want to buy because it’s limited, most want to buy this because they want to take it home, hook it up and play it. If 100 people in the area want to buy the SNES Classic, then those 100 people would buy all 100 units that are available at that location. You make the most profit by…

“Not bad”? What on earth are you talking about? People throw together stuff better than this by themselves over a weekend-long indie game jam. Much, much better.

I can’t really feel bad for him. Indie devs can make really good things by themselves. (See stardew.) I am going to guess the price point is so high due to licensing fees from Nintendo, but I’m really curious why Nintendo allowed this to be sold on their system to begin with. The gameplay and graphics are on a par…

How are geographical boundaries relevant? Are people from sparsely populated areas inherently smarter or superior to those in dense areas? Why do they deserve to have their votes and policy preferences counted more heavily? Are their children more worthy per head of tax dollars and infrastructure projects? Tax…

I’m happy that didn’t bother you. The frequency of ‘We live in a republic, not a democracy!’ type comments makes me want to pull my hair out.

Nah. The sad truth is Trump won fairly. Even if we managed to ditch him, there will be another. And it’ll keep happening until we fix the system that produced him. The only way to fix this shit is to fix our shit. People need to believe in something. “Not Trump” is not a solution. We need to get money out of politics.…

If it means the “Silent Majority/Birthers/Creationists/Homophobic/Religious Right” never have a say in anything ever again, I’m okay with that.

Yes? We are ostensibly a representative democracy, and if one person gets one vote, does it not follow that more densely populated areas would have more voting power?  Our votes are counted that way for virtually every other office in the country, which makes the electoral college look more like a grudging Missouri…

we do elections this way because it’s fair, no state has a significant advantage over the others.

the electoral college exists because the popular vote gives states with higher populations significantly more power than the rest of the country. the electoral college ensures each state is on equal footing with no advantage over the other. you have to win the majority of the country rather than the majority of the…

I’ve always found it mind-boggling that more prominent streamers aren’t up in arms rallying their followers to speak their minds.
