also, does Fortnite BR actually have a story or are they just events that happen slowly?

Mei and Reinhardt both starred in shorts in the past 10 months. The comics are usually the most reliable form of backstory exposition, and often contain clues to new game content. (Moira was hiding in Doomfist’s introduction all along.) The story-based events are the story, not just the cutscenes. You’re playing…

Fortnite: [some weird, random, non-interactive sci-fi thing is foreshadowed] [thing happens] [Epic publishes a map change, adds a consumable] “Wow, what incredible plot development!”

This is a false dichotomy though, right? Overwatch really isn’t trying to tell a story in game. There are narrative allusions and references to the out of game comics and CGI shorts, but even those are simply vignettes that expand on the world building without telling a cohesive narrative. Blizzard seems perfectly…

Well, these comments are more gross and ignorant than I was expecting.

For a “new trend” it seems to have quite a lot of history: https://nonbinary.miraheze.org/wiki/History_of_nonbinary_gender

In case anyone else was wondering, the grays are just as shit as you were expecting.

I’m really tired of the vitriol in the video game community. Games get fucking wrecked the second something goes wrong, when it could be fixed given some time (sometime a week, sometime a month...). Sure, the game could have been perfect at release, but guess what, it almost never happens! And it’s getting harder and…

How about starting small with, say, not lying to people and stealing their kids?

Judd was cryogenically frozen and survived the apocalypse that wiped out the rest of the mammals. Li’l Judd is a clone of Judd.  

It... shows exactly the opposite of that.

My favorite realistic aspect of the Battlefield series has always been how troop reinforcements can just magically appear if you’re near any action.

Posted it before, but found this hilarious.

“Our game will have you fighting Nazi zombies!”
“Oh, cool.”
“In our WWII game, there’s a female protagonist!”
“DO YOU EVEN KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT WWII!? OPEN A HISTORY BOOK. NO WOMEN!”

To be fair, most people who want lower taxes have absolutely no idea how anything at all works beyond their ability to complain about lower taxes. If you showed them a state, township, or even federal government spending chart their eyes would immediately glaze over and they’d be thinking about season 48 of America’s…

I’m fairly sure that’s the most any Native American language has been spoken in an hour of television, ever. Major kudos to Westworld for having so much of that subtitled.

Yeah, but those guys will get sick of Papa Johns pretty quick.

To be fair to Hirsch, he did this back in 2015, when we didn’t know it was wrong to choke a woman out at a party and never apologize for it. Is it fair to judge historical figures by present-day standards?

Serves those bandwagon Las Vegas fans right. 5 years ago I bet most of them didn’t even know Vegas had a team.

Women in videogames have no choice, because they’re fictional characters that have as much agency as their writers/creators/the script gives them.
