Its the Japanese way of telling a story. It doesn't hand everything to you on a plate and wrap up all the loose ends. It leaves things unsaid and ambiguous. I *love it*. I'd rather have a complex story where I don't quite know everything than a *bad* story (see Destiny for the alternative.)

Nothing but smug, condescending people reveling in their trial and error.

Yeah, we already have a The Order:1886 video game.

They aren't alienating an audience. You were never in the audience to begin with.

I for one am superbly glad that there is at least one studio in the world that chooses not to compromise for the sake of appealing to a broader audience. Variety is good.

No, I will not. I am too busy trying not to die and face a loading screen.

I'm sorry for her loss, but its incredibly irresponsible not to leave a copy of passwords to things like bank accounts, email accounts, photo collections, etc... in a safe deposit box or fire safe that your *spouse* has access to in such an unfortunate event. How can someone be so meticulous about security and so lax…

A relationship this far gone, in almost no case are they better off seeking psychological help for her and staying - thats something that can be done from a distance when you no longer have any ties - in fact the tease of getting psychological help 'to save the marriage' will be used to hold him in the relationship…

They are now in the casino business, and also personal fitness. https://www.atari.com/news/atari-int…

The only way this makes any sense to me is if Atari is planning on releasing a collection of their old arcade games for one or some of these platforms and don't want their sales diluted by a Tempest clone already being out in the wild. Otherwise it would make perfect sense just to license the rights to him, get a cut…

The owners of Pacman (Atari) sued because Munchkin (Magnavox) on the Odyssey2 looked too much like it. Its not a new thing. Unlike trademarks though, copyrights don't need to be protected to be enforced, so you're at liberty to let it slide until somebody with deep pockets comes along.

I will give you that the laws need to change, but if I hire a developer to produce a software package - I now own that IP - and then a few years later that same developer produces something that looks practically identical that people everywhere are saying is just like the one he produced for me and I own? I'd take…

You indeed can have it both ways when you are the IP holder who is deciding where to sick the lawyers. The mistake was deciding to work for Atari in the first place.

Anything is an investment if you intend to sell it later. The joke is that putting the money in the bank is probably a worse investment than just buying a game console and ebaying it to bet on the possibility of production shortages - at worst you'll probably break even. Banks don't give you anything in the way of…

LOL, So you'd rather give your money to a bank rather than invest it in a hard commodity?

I'm only half joking. Really.

So you can easily compare to a 10 year T-bill (the sort-of-risk free rate of return if you don't need the money for a while, ~2.06%) His point is interest rates on small amounts of liquid savings are pathetic because of the Fed keeping rates low to stimulate borrowing: it almost doesn't matter whether you let gamestop…

Exactly. Yeah, in a certificate of deposit so the money is no longer liquid and with a $5k minimum.

When I played it, New Londo Ruins was contiguous with the Valley of the Drakes (and not underneath the Tomb of the Giants). So yes, many people have pointed out 4 kings and I slapped my forehead V8 style and said 'oh yeah, I hated that boss.'

The moon mission wasn't funded by trying to sell raffle tickets and a tv show, it was funded by billion dollar investments of a major government with feasibility studies, the worlds best engineers and decades of experience in launching ICBMS.

But here you aren't stuck in a confined space with them dying a horrible death from lack of deodorant.
