I’ve wanted to ride one of the dang trees ever since starting in Darnassus all those years ago

Isn’t the joke about how oblivious NPCs are kinda hacky at this point? Am I missing another layer to that strip?

That’s almost exactly what they’re doing though. There is no in-game story, just past lore that you get from cinematics and comics and such. So they’re adding it with the PvE mode. But otherwise, they’re just updating the original game, to the extent that if you don’t want the PvE stuff, you can just play the first…

You pack up your shit and get the fuck out of here right now.

Not really. Japan has major issues and their prosecutions make the USA’s  prosecutions seem fair and balanced most of the time. If thought-crime and future-crime becomes a real thing, you can bet it’ll start in Japan. Some might say it already is.

What I really do wonder is if she was hired based on her portfolio, and not because some Infinity Ward artist was looking at military fiction pitches. The safest statement anyone can say is that Haugens doesn’t own the talent’s likeness, and the last thing I think anyone wants is for the talent to caught in the…

It’s hard to say, because that seems to be what this actress normally looks like as far as hair and makeup are concerned.

The McDonald’s case is literally a textbook example of products causing liability to the company. They used an industrial coffee maker that made the coffee a life threateningly hot substance. The process was then to strictly enforce a minimum cooling time to allow those boiling hot coffees to become consumable by…

The woman in the coffee case got third degree burns and needed skin grafts.

Because she knew that — until now — giving players seizures wasn’t really the goal of the video game developers, so they would eliminate the more serious trigger events and let people know smaller events may happen.

Presumably because as a videogame player and reviewer, most other games do NOT have this effect on her. Therefore, this was an exception she felt should be discussed. She’s just giving extra warning to people who might be affected. She’s not discouraging anyone from playing. She had the seizure and then kept playing…

Probably because he’s the only japanese character they can draw.

That’s Faust’s item trap. Faust throws various items on the ground and different things happen like recovering hp or summoning an army. One of the things he throws is a Afro. If the enemy character touches it, they get an Afro that increases their hurtbox size.

You’re taking this a lot more seriously than anyone who made anything but First Blood did.

Oh get the fuck out of here. There’s nothing racist about pointing out that the CCP stands for—and deliberately promotes—anti-democratic and anti-free speech policies, nor is there anything racist about pointing out the Chinese government’s close ties to Tencent, or the many examples of American companies tailoring…

PS and Nintendo fans will still get Zenimax games, I’m sure. They’ll just have to pay $60-$70 a pop for them outright instead of having them included with their GPU subscription. 

You repeatedly posting this suggests VERY strongly you want to play Bethesda games on a PS5.

This is an impressive word salad you’ve got going on here.

Not an Xbox guy, but every Bethesda game I’ve played, I’ve done it on PC anyway. Pretty nice piece of news to drop the week your console goes up for pre-order, though, huh?

I could see the uproar if they made you sit through an ad a la mobile games, but splashing it on replay wipes and the octagon floor, that's pretty dead to rights to the broadcast experience they're trying to replicate with the series. I don't know, I feel there's better hills to die on than this one.
