Not going to lie, interacting with my fellow gamers via video games is decidedly not my favorite experience. Unsurprisingly, most people mutate into dicks when you give them guns and no consequences for using them!

My problem with any game that requires teamwork is that most gamers got into this hobby because they lack the ability to communicate with other humans. This is something that has only been reinforced for me every time I’m forced to go to Battle.Net.

The trailer to his new movie credits him as a “human hockey jersey.”

I’ve said this elsewhere, but the current issue with VR is that there’s not a game that you NEED to play in VR. Everything is just a 2D game with your face really close to the screen. The technology is impressive, the software is fun, but the software needs to be revolutionary.

It’s quite a good podcast. More focused than Stuff You Should Know.

1) Put entire bottle of Snapple in the condom (it’ll fit)

The best part is when they don’t even bother giving away the books. Some Fox News twit (Ann Coulter, I think) spoke on my campus and I saw them lift the pallets of books off the truck and put them right into the dumpster.

Do you think his emails have “Sent from my Droid” on the end? I bet they do.

To be honest, I doubt an American got anywhere near this game while in development. Dambuster is a British studio, Deep Silver is in Austria, Dambuster was owned by Crytek before, which is a German studio founded by Turkish immigrants. Knowing that makes the game’s tone-deafness and absolutely staggering racism either…

I’m gonna be honest, the show sounded pretty generic (even if Shahi was great casting), but “skewing too female” is an INCREDIBLY stupid reason to not go forward with it, especially since it’s just another version of Elementary, an equally generic show with a popular character slapped over it like a sticker. That…

It’ll never happen, for a couple of reasons, but the most basic is money. The dirty secret of most sports is they make a ton of money by creating a basic cable channel you can’t excise from your bill, by selling what everybody know is a ratings scam to broadcast network, and by artificially inflating the costs of…

You haven’t really made a point other than “I like VR, so everybody will like VR.” Which is fine, I get being impressed by the technology. I’m impressed by it too. I just have no compelling reason to use it, either as a gamer or in my daily life, and I suspect I’m far from alone. We’ll see, one way or the other, soon…

I prefer the modern era, where if a game ships busted, it might get fixed, as opposed to most of the rest of gaming history, where HAHAHAHA fuck you kid we got your money.

3DTVs were turned out by a whole bunch of manufacturers. Remember those? It’s a gimmick. Most TVs sold in America aren’t big enough for a 4K resolution to actually matter all that much in the first place. A much better measure of the popularity of 4K is the availability of 4K content, which is fairly limited.

VR is not the automobile, and I’d like to point out companies like Oculus discourage statements like that pretty hard. Keep in mind that on the industrial level, VR is mature tech; it’s been out there since the ‘90s and is in relatively common usage. VR as a commercial gaming technology has a much harder sell, because…

4K IS a gimmick, though. Make no mistake, the PS4.5 doesn’t exist to cater to a huge audience of 4K fans. It exists to cater to Sony’s prayers of finally selling televisions again.

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.
