Also my immediate takeaway. Fuck that guy.

So that guy dedicated a year of his life forming a fake friendship in order to get back at the guy who . . . spoiled a movie?

So this asshole was in the theater with his phone out taking pictures? He’s worse than the spoiler.

It’s almost as if making racist comments and making light of Nazis will make you popular with racists...

Persona 3 and 4 both had enhanced remakes within three years of their initial release, just like this one, and for those games the remakes are largely considered the definitive versions. Persona 4 Golden especially is widely praised as a far better game than its base incarnation. It’s a tradition for this franchise,…

That *is* harsh though because you’re all but asking players with disabilities to go elsewhere. In this example, an easy mode or even a series of toggles that allow players to customize game experiences is about allowing them to participate in that experience. It’s inclusive, and not in the dime-store way that word is…

I THINK his argument is that the rule isn’t strict enough, and that Netflix is basically getting away with making the bare minimum effort (in some cases just renting the smallest room in a theater and running it for the required amount of days, before nixing it) to qualify. I personally think Roma should have won…

Okay, an ESRB notice or changes is fine. That’s perfectly reasonable, and a very minor point of intrusion. What I don’t like is the idea that the government somehow needs to protect people from loot boxes, in order to buy them you need a bank card of some sort. If the parents blindly provide that to their…

Its the end of an Era. The man has done so much for Nintendo both business wise and PR wise.

I think a lot of people don’t understand how good of a job Reggie has done, I look forward to the “wow I didn’t realize...” reactions to the numerous think pieces that are to come.

What a fantastic write-up, Ken. Thanks for pulling this together! These photos are fantastic!

Offering warning and severance to those who relied on HOTS to make a living! I hope this is a catalyst to eSports players unionizing.

Nah, there’s no “being in the moment”, it’s not about taking a video game too seriously or having fucked up priorities. He’s just a fucking scumbag. Unfortunately piece of shit men who act like this will go off over any number of things, and sadly he’s probably done that before for completely different reasons. It…

Don’t forget to add, take a long good look at yourself, and perhaps get some sort of anger management therapy.

I made a similar mistake one time when I accidentally clicked “pineapple” instead of “peppers” as a topping selection when I was customizing a pizza I was ordering from Papa John’s online.

They should bundle them together anyway and just call it the NintendOrgy Pack. 

Noodles is right - the “rockstarization” of game designers did start in the late ‘80s. I was around! People, at least in the industry, already *started* to know the Williamses from King’s Quest, or Michael Crawford from The Bard’s Tale, or Shigeru Miyamoto from Mario/Zelda, or Hironobu Sakaguchi from Final Fantasy, or…

Even back in the 80s you had video game creators being recognized by name — Ken & Roberta Williams from Sierra, Andrew Greenberg and Robert Woodhead from Sir-Tech, even John Freeman and Paul Reiche III and Anne Westfall for Archon, one of the first games EA ever released. (The box art for that one had a group photo of…

Despite its flaws I genuinely enjoy this movie. I watched it recently in preparation for this article and it still hold up for the most part.
