Nothing you can do except play single player games and not derive your enjoyment from the competetive aspects of games.

I have a friend who plays a lot of competetive pokemon and whenever there are kids at the tournament, the parents always give him this weird, “be swift” attitude. He agrees with you that it would be insulting to go easy on them, but he always tries to have a conversation and help them get better, partially cause he’s…

I NEED IT

I'm a big fan of the idea of a stealth launch. Game hype has become so bloated that I'll often lose interest before the game is actually out, even if the product lives up to the hype. And if you have a legendary franchise on your hands, stealth launching would probably attract more media attention than trying to grab…

This is one of those things where I wouldn’t support anyone stopping Oculus from doing this, but I definitely don’t support the fact that Oculus is doing this. Like I think they should be allowed to put whatever updates to their own IP’s they want, but there are ways of doing so that suck for many consumers who…

I’ll probably spend more time taking screenshots of the witness than actually playing games as I’m trying to publish a paper about kantian aesthetics and the witness and the deadline is tuesday. Besides that I’m thinking some guilty gear and might emulate me some castlevania. Oh and I’m probably gonna play the little…

I had the same thoughts as a child when finding dead birds. Calvin and Hobbes has always been there for me. It's always resonated with a kid like me, a little spazzy, a little intelligent, a little adventurous and a little morbid.

I think that whole thing was less about the dude turning down the soliciting cosplayers, but that the dude was snarky about it and then doubled down in the ensuing response, going all “real cosplayers cant be sexy mrrrr”.

Right? It’s set for “some time in may”. There are only 11 days left in may

It’s not a demo or early access, it’s episodic. So you pay either $60 for the full game or you pay by the episode, $10-15 bucks per complete, polished mission. Then there is additional free content like the elusive targets. If you want to play every mission straight through then wait for the full game to be out, if…

Trump tried that once. There’s a documentary about it I’ve been meaning to watch.

Yeah I could also see someone who enjoys watching people play video games as a plus. Like I didn’t really go on random murder sprees in GTA V until my roommates and I started taking turns at it together.

Except for chowda. I actually didn’t know there was supposed to be an er until I left new england.

I think its on a case by case basis. I have a friend who’s into competetive pokemon and melee, as is his current girlfriend and that’s a really important part of their relationship. I myself am primarily a single player gamer, so if I date someone who doesn’t love the Witness or The Witcher 3, it’s not gonna be a huge…

Yeah I’m also probably biased towards not caring about it as I neither backed Broken Age nor did I play it until the full version was out. I actually didn’t realize I was in part two until well after the fact, so I can understand why people might feel it was artificially chopped up. That said, I don’t personally mind…

Did Doublefine ask for more money, or did they expand the scope of the game and fund that by splitting it into two parts? I wouldn’t necessarily disagree with a critique of releasing it in two parts, but I don’t think that really constitutes returning to their audience with their palms outstretched.

I don’t think Steam Greenlight itself was a mistake, merely how it was rolled out and undercurated. I think the idea of giving a way for amateur developers to become indie developers was a good one and the democratization of games could (being super speculative here) have a similar effect to the democratization of…

Are you a kantian? Well kantians think everyones a kantian deep down, but this comment sounds particularly categorical imperative-ish.

I mean online multiplayer didn’t even work until about a month after release and I had already beaten it and forgotten the controls. I had a lot of fun with this one though it was a little grindy. That said, I’m not anti-grind, I’m anti-you-never-had-to-grind-until-the-second-to-last-mission, which this game didn’t…

Right!
