Ah I forgot that Epic actually owns Gears. I'm the worst.

I fully support your parenthetical statement! I tend to enjoy my Xbox the most, but I do wish they did more with game publishing for sure.

I guess my point is that if an exclusive game is rad, who cares why it's exclusive? It's cool that Sony owns their studios (forgot about that) but I don't agree that buying exclusivity is a negative. Sony buys studios, MS buys games.

Yes.

I can't wait until I turn on my TV and see Dan Cortese hosting some extreme show.

Ummm…size matters not?

Wait, why does that matter? For serious. An exclusive is an exclusive - regardless of why it's exclusive. And I would venture to guess that almost every exclusive comes from money - with the possible exception of Nintendo games.

I'm with you brother. I can see how amazing it is/was, and I understand why people love it. I'm just not one of those people. I never really enjoyed playing it. Sunshine on the other hand...

Thanks! Although the actual translation is far less fun that the google translation.

For those that are wondering. Google translate tells me that Mi novia se me está poniendo vieja = My girlfriend is making me old and Lo que está bien está mal = What is right is wrong. The collective mouse clicks this post could potentially save makes me giddy.

The McDonalds coffee case is actually pretty interesting, and actually not just someone trying to sue as an opportunist. The coffee was far past hot, and the lady didn't actually seek a huge payout. If I remember correctly, the final ruling by the judge was something like 1 cent for every cup of coffee McDonalds…

But those suppliers and store managers are just kind of making that up. They are so far down the decision tree on this stuff that they have no idea. General consensus is very far away from actual truth. And if you think about it logically, the whole "don't make enough so people want to buy it really badly" is a…

Wii U is my favorite system in the house. And I have all of them minus the PS4. It just seems to be the most pure fun, no mess, damn-good-time-when-you-are-using it console out there. Get one.

Or maybe he was just showing other folks that he donated, thereby encouraging them. Maybe he was showing that you don't have to feel like you need to donate a bunch of money, and small bits help. Maybe he was trying to foster a sense of community to rally people to donate by creating a simple repeatable action. …

Halo! Ten (eleven?) years later and people still talk about it.

Halo!

ME3 had the second best ending of any game I finished this generation. Granted, I waited until it was all patched and fixed etc., and I don't finish many games, but I just sat on my porch after I finished it, drinking a beer and enjoying the warm glow of having experienced one of the best gaming experiences of the…

Beware the snarky tone of this message, but you're doing it wrong. The game is called Journey after all - it's not about getting to the end. The value proposition is in the strength of the experience, not the length of it. And there are myriad little secrets to discover and new experiences to be had because of the…

Slightly off topic, but am I the only one that always has a few seconds of confusion whenever they see a screenshot of Shepard? I alwasy think "what weird Gary's Mod version of Mass Effect is this?" And then I remember that everyone has their own Shepard, but only mine is the real one.

Dude, you're assuming a lot about my statement that just isn't there. Of course women wear heals, or do their hair a certain way, or make decisions based on something other than sex appeal. People, in general, make those kinds of decisions all day long. And to imply that I can't see that is a little insulting (or…
