“From the producers of The Fast and the Furious”

I remember this exact one (white, no extra buttons) from all the school computers through the latter half of my grade school days. Nostalgic.

Cool kids had one of these bad boys

I’m surprised the language was created after the fact, by someone other than George R.R. Martin. Tolkien did the opposite; his whole world sprung from the elvish language.

The new Aqua Teen Hunger Force looks weird

Could this be... the first good video game movie?

The joke went over my head until I watched the video once and thought, “wait, I always thought they were just lazily-localized rice balls-” and then googled Onigiri

Philosophically I love adventure games that make you feel like a nobody, but I’ve always found survival mechanics - especially in games that aren’t primarily about survival - to be really tedious. I want the game world to steal my lunch money, but in a way that’s fun (like Morrowind).

The loaders were super fun; their destructible limbs added a lot more strategy, in addition to just being really satisfying to shoot.

Honestly this is one of the few series where I’m okay with new entries that are just “that thing you like, but more of it”. New heroes with new abilities and skill trees, new types of guns (legs!), and new environments (dinosaurs!) are all I really need in a new BL game.

Our own Tim Rogers described DMC5 as “Spectacular Trash”. This is how I’ve always felt about Borderlands. It’s a shallow, addicting, looter-shooter grind-fest, but it fully embraces this identity instead of trying to maintain a facade of seriousness like Destiny or Anthem. It’s just a ridiculous, colorful, exploding…

Speaking as a programmer, the mistake they’ve made is the mistake we’re all prone to making, which is getting so excited about a cool technology you’ve just come up with that you forget to consider whether or not people actually want it. Speaking as a gamer, it’s clear that the Stadia team is tone-deaf to what actual…

This backlash is ridiculous. The software isn’t fantastic, but the catalog is constantly updated and has remained top-notch. Plus, if Crunchyroll had done nothing but keep up with inflation for the past 13 years, they would be charging $8.40/month right now. So even after the price raise, they’re still making less…

There’s a difference between Silicon Valley the region and Silicon Valley the 2019 subculture. I was talking about the latter.

It can become a very corrupt and shitty system.

I could see using it in split mode instead of two separate monitors, but I’d probably keep it that way even for gaming. Having UI elements on the far edges seems like a much bigger annoyance than the wide field of view would be a perk.

...except for an urban, extremely low-latency internet connection.

Cool technology, but I extremely don’t want Google to be involved in my gaming life (or ideally, in the industry at all). This just smells of soulless Silicon Valley tech; a gaming platform run by people who expressly don’t really care about games.

That’s all well and good, but it still needs to work properly out of the box.
