It’s because mobile gaming is driven by the tech sector, not the gaming industry, and the tech sector is absolutely rapacious. Outside of Apple, Facebook, and a few others, there’s really no such thing as a “fan base.” If somebody does something better, then you ditch the things you’re using now.

Couldn’t get past the fact you got an actual party together to play a story mission. That should be a trophy in of itself.

Springfield, MA? A few years back they were shutting off streetlights to save money.

It’s a counterbalance. How many times do women get told the baby just slides right out and you fall into the pillowy joyous embrace of motherhood? I’m a dude and I must have run into that shit about a bazillion times, God knows how often women run into it.

Eh, to be honest, as a former teenage boy, we’re pretty much all assholes. I don’t think Superbad did anything other than reflect that; yeah, the humor is definitely homophobic, but the entire point of the movie is that they’re immature clueless assholes who will grow out of it.

“Who will live and who will die?”

It’s a little worrying that Neal Stephenson made a joke about this in the 20th century and it might come true.

My wife and I do the above setup for a few reasons:

I’m pretty firmly in the “open a joint checking account, agree on contributions to it, and maintain separate accounts for the rest” camp. Not that I’m opposed to pooling money, if it works for you as a couple, do it. But it does prevent the whole “Hey, my account is huge now, LET’S BUY SHIT!” thing.

That guy looks like he just realized a robot has talked him into letting him jam its penis up his nose.

I give it a year before Desilets is back in the fold. Ubs didn’t renew the trademark just to be nice.

Wow, nobody tried Charles Joseph Whitman Memorial? I’m a little surprised the Internet went to Hitler before that tasteless joke.

Any forum where they talk about music, you’ll find some version of this argument. Generally one side boils down to “Prince was a prick with an abusive father who quickly grew out of his regrettable misogyny” and the other to “Prince’s father was an enormous bastard and this song was about working it out” I tend to…

There is a long, LOOOOONG ongoing argument about whether Prince or his father is the protagonist of “Purple Rain,” the song.

Only if she’s complaining about the butts of those rap guys’ girlfriends.

Not particularly. People forget that consoles are standardized hardware built to run on televisions, which are generally engineered to run at 24 to 30fps at 1080 resolution. Anything 24 or above on a progressive-scan system is going to look fine and unless you’re frame-counting, it really doesn’t matter. You CAN run…

Yeah, it’s interesting to contrast Oculus’ pitch, which is basically “We are making Lamborghinis with the hope those will sell enough and be popular enough to eventually let us sell Toyotas” with the “VR WILL CRUSH ALL” attitude. To be frank I’ve yet to see an Oculus game that does anything non-VR gaming CAN’T do, and…

I prefer console, TBH. Keeps me from being distracted when working.

Not gonna lie, a year from now, when this is ten bucks? Probably gonna buy it.

Of the two, I prefer The Division simply because the single-player game was more refined and interesting. But any game that expects you to play the same damn missions again and again is gonna have problems eventually.
