It paid off in spades. Horizon is a joy on all levels - world-building, graphics, combat, music, characters, and story.

I’ve got to say that, aside Witcher 3, this is the best-written open world game in a long time, if ever. I was actually engaged with the story and invested in seeing its outcome, despite all the fun I was having just dicking around, hunting ever-larger robots. Outside of the Deus Ex games, I almost never read lore or…

Without giving away any spoilers, he did an excellent job. Horizon was the first game in awhile that I was pulled into and just wanted to keep playing for the story and the lore, not just to finish it. It was completely original and setup for more story in the future. While not perfect, the characters and environment…

I’m honestly still processing this story. It was beautifully told and ended with just the right amount of loose ends to those wrapped up - complete but still leaving you wanting just a bit more.

[SPOILERS]

The craziest part of their conspiracy theory? That one person is responsible for all the animations in a AAA game.

Wow do I hate gamers like this. I know there are bad apples in every kind of hobby/fandom/whatever, but man oh man is this particular brand of bullshit getting way too common for my liking.

uh, i think my cousin did, i’ll report back

did yall see the guy walking around dressed as an arcade cabinet? with his working indie game on the screen. It was friggin BRILLIANT

I mean, I doubt you’ll care, but this video does a decent job of summing up how I and quite a few other people felt about the joke. (It does deal specifically with Colin, not just the first tweet cited.)

Katie Nolan is the only goddamn star to be born out of that network - even if the ratings aren’t huge, she’s got the name recognition none of the other non-imported talking heads have there. Fucking with her is a good way to make sure she goes somewhere else when her contract’s up.

Why Arcades Haven’t Died In Japan

Uh, this:

“The teenagers—who threatened to release the stuff they’d obtained—”

Is not harmless when you consider what was in the shots.

Whether the response was justified or not is another matter, but pretending the kids were some blameless actors is pretty disingenuous.

They didn’t dox him. Did you even read the story? Or too busy trying to justify your own online misbehaving so you can feel like a victim ?

What, exactly, was despicable about what they did? They didn’t dox him as they didn’t release his info to anybody. All they did was threaten to tell on him to his mom. That’s not breaking any laws, they didnt harm the child in any way, they just taught him the adult lesson that actions have consequences.

When 85% of KaceyTrons stream is her boobs, there should be no surprise those words are common. You cant even see the game play, you just see cleavage.

Seriously this no talent hack. All he managed to do was be ahead of the curve in blogging, turning his style into a medium, podcasting, and maybe having some hand in universally acclaimed sports documentaries. What have you done for me lately Bill?

Loved how she slowed down and tearfully savored that last stanza:
