The Winter War (between Finland the Soviet Union, not between Finland and Russia—yes, that’s right, everyone loves semantics) is an interesting and under-explored area, like the Polish-Soviet War (or Polish-Russian War of 1919, as it actually predates the Soviet Union and was fought by Soviet Russia, Soviet Ukraine,…

Re-reading your article, I don’t think it was your intention Luke, but that being said—I wouldn’t hold up Company of Heroes 2 as a commendable example. To put it in more relate-able terms, consider a strategy game set in the Pacific War with scenes dedicated to showing your American GIs cheerfully turning the ears of…

As far as controllers go, I prefer having options over having not. Or, in this particular case, having Sony make the choice for me. I own both current generation consoles, and a set of Eneloops on account of every remote control in my home using AA or AAA batteries, and even if they didn’t last longer than the battery…

I can see why that would cause confusion. Still a really gross level though. 

Unfortunate, but not surprising.

Is that actually that much of a deal? PSFros come on eBay, new, for $300 all the time (and from well-reviewed merchant storefronts at that). More than a year ago, I remember seeing a new-in-box console for $250 (that was a uniquely low price at the time though)—I checked again today, I saw new-in-box selling for $230…

My Goodness! Who will I watch weekday evenings during the inevitable Communist invasion “Operation Patrick Swayze” and ensuing Russo-Cuba occupation “Operation Terrible Film” when Vladimir Putin descends upon America to feast on all of our children?

You may be able to make the argument “Deploying atomic-tipped ballistic missiles in Turkey that are aimed at the Soviet Union, then instituting a military blockade on Cuba when the Soviet Union deploys atomic-tipped ballistic missiles in Cuba [aimed at the United States], is kind of provocative.”

As noted by others—if Final Fantasy XIV can do it, I don’t see why Anthem couldn’t.

Taking that for granted—yet Sony was the one with the class action lawsuit for unreliable console hardware. Kind of makes you think about how Sony CEA and Sony Canada handled their own hardware debacle.

Ah. “Fixing” the PS2 involved replacement (in my case, three times, but I was one of the unlucky ones, hence looking up the lawsuit)—the optical drive failure in my case was not due to the condition of the reading laser but a manufacturing defect, necessitated replacing the entire drive (thus, impossible to…

Did you swear off Sony after they faced a class action lawsuit for avoiding replacing Playstation 2 consoles? Because I actually have receipts for checks sent out by Sony for the legally-mandated payments they had to make for both the Playstation 2 and Playstation 3.

Tell the truth: did you always have that avatar portrait? 

I’ve never wanted to own an Xbox console, if I’m being completely honest.

My theory: because it most closely resembled the video game machines of the public arcades of his homeland, like Sea Battle.

Presidents of the United States already have their version of the Death Note, Donald Trump included, for years—it’s called the Unmanned Drone Force of the CIA’s Special Activities Division (in cooperation with the Air Force).

I owned two first series Elite controllers—both worked flawlessly, both for joystick inputs (unlike my experience with the Switch, sadly), and inputs. I say “two”, because my launch model only stopped working after a particularly rage inducing randomly generated sub-boss in Soulcalibur VI led me to smack my controller…

You have my sympathy. At the risk of becoming political (too late), my own admiration for Pres. Tsai, and her campaign (as the two became increasingly difficult to differentiate, inevitably) declined pretty swiftly in the last years in the aftermath of the pension reform movement (and the government’s unsurprising…

Get in line, MP Lai.

Your concerns aren’t misdirected, but I also wonder about the second point. We’ve endured a couple generations of “Yeah, this looks a lot like a last generation game running at higher resolutions”—looking at PS3 launch titles that look like upscaled PS2 games (hopefully nice ones, but the point remains). On top of the…
