You can rightly argue that less competition will result in a general negative impact on the market over time, but this will almost certainly result in a net positive for the industry at least in the short term, if only because Xbox under Phil Spencer has been one of the most consumer friendly game companies out there…

And then Disney buys Microsoft.  And then Amazon buys Disney.  And then the Vogons demolish the Earth to make way for a hyperspace bypass.

According to the press release Bobby is staying CEO, so this doesn’t solve anything.. https://news.microsoft.com/2022/01/18/microsoft-to-acquire-activision-blizzard-to-bring-the-joy-and-community-of-gaming-to-everyone-across-every-device/

John Carpenter being into Dead Space is the most “yeah that checks out” thing I’ve heard in a while.

I’m biased. It’s one of my favorite films of the 80's. Granted I love, The Thing as well.

I didn’t think I would like the PS5. I was right. I don’t like it...I fucking love it!

I’m sorry but 2021 never happened. We’re entering 2020 Season 3 now.

No idea how you ever run out of gas when gas stations are marked on the map, camps can refill your tank, and every Nero site has at least one tank.

They don’t want you to be able to drop in, have a bit of fun, leave for a while, and repeat. They want either all of your time, or none of it.

I’ve said this before about Destiny, and I’ll say it again: even as someone who enjoys the game, I think the worst thing Destiny (and the Destiny fanbase) does is encourage the notion that players have to engage really, really seriously with the grind in order to have fun with Destiny.

I’m currently playing through the new Tomb Raiders (finished 2 because it was a PS+ game, almost done with 1, haven’t started 3), and I think they actually handled a response to a pretty extreme situation decently. I used to do nightclub security, and dealt with some surprisingly violent situations for somebody who…

This bothered him so much that he almost put the controller down and walked away?
