With regards to the spare tires, I can’t help but think that he’s built his entire life around his memory of that scene from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade where the sheik trades a column of tanks and vehicles for a Rolls Royce Phantom II.

Next up, World of Tanks mashed up with Farming Simulator.

I’d think Linden would have no interest in truly competing with itself. I think what they’ll do eventually is create porting tools to bring whole blocks of Second Life content over to the new space.

The language also suggests there isn’t going to be one. Without the source code they won’t be able to substantively modify the game.

So on one side of things we have the hardcore task sims, where they give you realistic massive machinery but then hem you in to doing only painstakingly recreated real-world tedium, then on the other side you have the fanciful and freeform building of something like Minecraft, Space Engineers or Garry’s Mod where you…

I use the wired Shark version of this on my home desktop and I love it, really minor learning curve. I just wish I had an easy way to carry one around for laptop use, but as you can imagine the shape makes it take up a lot of bag space, and I’d prefer a Bluetooth option if i was going wireless.

<fedora voice> Why are all the women always digging the big ass-holes?</fv>

I used to think a diesel hybrid would be a good idea in a small vehicle but I’ve rethought that over time. The problem is the power to weight ratio, the extra mass eats up your advantage in a small vehicle where the engine, batteries and powertrain are collectively a huge fraction of the curb weight, especially if the…

I’m glad we get to see Pauline again, and I’m kind of shocked she hasn’t been in the Mario crossover games before now, they’re perpetually short on women for all the kart racing, tennis, soccer, Olympic games vs. hedgehogs, random board games and other sporting challenges the gang is always getting into. I can imagine…

Miyamoto agrees, it was his call to dial way back on the story after he felt like the first Galaxy had too much of it.

The remaster came out on PS3 in the last year or so before the PS4 came out.

It wasn’t quite like that in the original. In BGE there were human men and women in equal numbers as about half the named characters and a variety of animal people as the other half, the animals skewed male but there were female ones around, I recall a blue cat woman was one of the main supporting characters and…

I dunno, I’m trying to be optimistic about it, Black Flag is one of my favorite gaming experiences, but to me the ship half feels hollow without the assassin’s creed half just like later Assassin’s Creed games felt empty to me without the ship. Climbing the rigging and making the kill from the yardarm with a drop onto…

The Crwo.

Y’know what really burns me? That so many here in America play along with the idea of meritocracy just to preserve the myth for the astonishingly tiny rounding error of a percent that get to live like this.

So, people who can’t pay you?

^This. I think that needing to train yourself to speak the gestural language and timing that the controls are looking for can be rewarding, and if everyone was required to do it the same way some players would quit and others would get good at it. As it stands, so long as the easy way to get perfect control is the…

Motion controls if you want to have fun, joystick controls if you want to win, disappointingly.

Was about to say, Lucio’s infectious positivity is part of the look.

Three potential options here: he doesn’t know about Bionic Commando, he only knows about the Bionic Commando gritty reboot, or he just failed to mention Bionic Commando as one of the influences. Because at the first screenshot I’m like “oh hey, an indie developer is making a bioniccommandolike that’s more of a puzzle…
