I always forget the option's there.

We had to pick that particular picture, did we? I feel like it's more important to take an axe to Michigan's dick than it is to split mine own testes in twain, but to each his own.

I feel like Wisdom and Intellect are the same thing here, and that's the statistic of nuking motherf*ckers with rains of fire/ice/lightning/ultima/fat chocobos. It's also the stat I choose to associate with strong arming everyone in Mass Effect for no reason.

I think Tabata is using "Open World" as a definition for "A game in which you can complete story objectives in any order" and "Linear" as a definition for "A game in which you have to complete story events in a precise order". They aren't going to stop you from exploring halfway through the game.

When this fella here says “linear” I do not think he means "run down the one hallway until you get to the next hallway". Final Fantasy 7 was "linear", but you still had a world map and the freedom to go where you wanted before moving the story forward.

There may be no person I feel more sorry for in the United States than the female Gamestop employee.

On that second one, I've had two relationships (and my marriage) come from "No, not right now"-> suddenly we're hanging out more and I'm just treating us as friends-> 2-4 weeks later we're dating. So whether she's interested or not, just treat your relationship as ONLY a friendship. If she ever becomes interested,…

FF9 brought back a lot of things the series did not need to see again. I have a decent idea of what you’ll feel about the rest of the games in the series (FF6 is better than 7, god hates blitzball, etc etc). But I’m most interested in how you feel upon replaying 9 especially after replaying 4. I almost wish you'd take…

His story stuff is quite good as well as long as he’s focused, but once the aizen stuff was over he performed a master class in phoning it in. But yeah, his artistic/design abilities have always been top 1%.

I'm thinking the reason is most likely that Jezebel, while it produces some great content, also regularly produces content that acts as a lightning rod. And at this point, Hillary just needs to sit back, hit softballs, and let Trump stab himself repeatedly.

I thought the Charlotte/Sasha match was solid, though there were a few botches in there. Finn/Seth was decent. Styles/Cena went on for a bit too long, but it was worth it in the end. The rest of the show was fiery garbage, though.

Please god change the headline.

Yeah that's about the most horrifying thing I've read in months.

I like it though, because the whole tease seems to be for an invisibility-wielding hacker/assassin. Since it is "Sombra" leaving this trail, making it difficult adds in a level of enjoyable realism.

We’re at the bar, and this Raider fan immediately calls my friend Osama Bin Laden and starts talking shit for no reason. He was double fisting and had a baby strapped to his chest.

You guys don’t talk much about mobile games (obvious exception is Pokémon Go here) , whereas similar institutions like, say, GiantBomb talks quite a bit about how tragically obsessed they are with clickers. Do you guys get distracted by garbage mobile games often (my life is just being distracted by garbage mobile…

I was going with Batou, not Motoko. You can get away with her and the rest of the full cyborgs being Scandinavian (maybe you shouldn't, but you can make the argument) but it's hard to sell that a dude named Batou whose noggin is fully organic is Danish.

I've seen plenty of people upset by that as well, but a direct to Netflix movie is never going to get as much attention as Scarlett Johansson in a wide release movie.

Hey at least with Ghost in the Shell they are literally whitewashing a character. This thing isn’t even adapted from anything.

This is, amazingly, the most Gawker response possible.
