I feel like Cliff Bleszinski just can’t make games as an indie developer, he’s very much a “blockbuster” developer that delivers mentally shallow but beautiful games with good controls; you can’t sell people on that without a big marketing budget. There wasn’t really anything particularly novel or interesting about…

Not shocked at the decline in stock prices for EA, Activision-Blizzard and Take-Two; the industry is starting to see significant backlash to its scummy practices and that can only mean a decline in profits.  The question is whether or not the industry can properly adapt to the new reality after going in so hard for…

I mean, It’s Billy Haisley, of course he’s wrong.

It’s also about safety.  You go to Hertz, Avis or any other rental company and they are required by law to keep cars up to a particular maintenance level; some rando on the internet doesn’t necessarily need to follow the same rules.  Making everyone follow the same rules may mean that Turo dies (at least in Chicago)…

I believe they would be considered certs as they’re highly specialized, but I could be wrong.

Servais wasn’t her boss. Beyond that, while that response you typed out is dickish it’s not what they said, they told her it’s because she’s a woman, which is a pretty big difference.

Which is weird, because she’s worked for bigger teams in the NFL and NBA so she’s used to the environment of big sports teams and isn’t likely to be intimidated by them. Not to mention she’s incredibly well-educated and smart enough to be a speaker at MIT-Sloan sports analytics conference teaching other very smart…

Education isn’t over for many people once you get a PhD, particularly in the medical field. You can get post-doctoral specialty degrees that show you’re certified to do certain things, many are tied to state or federal requirements to call you a particular type of specialty doctor. So for example, to call yourself a…

But at least the Resident Evil movies kinda sort followed some of the plot. Umbrella is an evil company that makes zombies for reasons and only a few people know the truth and fight to stop them. Yes, the plot is completely different past the broad details, but at least they kinda sorta get the right vibe. This movie…

The fact that he doesn’t say, you know, “We need to bring players back” or something similar and uses such bizarre business-speak tells you everything you need to know about Destiny and Activision-Blizzard.

The only (relatively) safe youth football is touch/flag football. You’re basically talking about kids not doing tackling/blocking until adulthood and that means college kids hitting for the first time which will hurt the game’ excitement.

I think it’s just supposed to be a caricature...Ronaldo’s statue was actually supposed to look like him.

So...I’m going to be that guy. Most likely explanation, based on the size, is that an animal left that piece of shit, not a human. Based on the size of the foot near it, I’m guessing that’s maybe half an inch wide and 3-4 inches long. Probably a raccoon or a similar small mammal that was hanging out in the stadium…

Looks like his ancestors participated in the Inbreeder’s Cup.

As an example, we haven’t seen a new, proper, Warcraft RTS since 2002.

To be fair, a lot of fans worried that they would never see another proper TES and would just get more of the MMO and ANOTHER Skyrim re-release.

I watched Caddyshack and...quite frankly didn’t get why it was so beloved. Some of Rodney Dangerfield’s lines are great and Bill Murray and the groundhog got some slapstick laughs from me...but the rest fell flat.

Except “limited time” is designed exactly to hit certain manipulative sweet spots in the brain. The random nature of lootboxes is still designed to go after gambling addicts. Just because you don’t find them manipulative doesn’t mean there isn’t some poor souls out there that spent way too much on Overwatch lootboxes.…

I mean...why not just say “hey, we don’t really have anything to announce at Blizzcon this year so tickets are cheaper and it’s mostly just for fun this year”?  I mean, I know why, money, but still...not great optics from a PR standpoint.

No no, that’s exactly why they’re so upset. The guys at Blizzcon payed $200+ to be there and because they like to play PC games, they release this game is aimed at China. Releasing a mobile ripoff for China would probably go over without too many grumbles if it was some sort of small announcement, but this was part of…
