Good point, although I think $500-$600 is historically too much to ask for a console you want to sell by the crate. That price point stifled the PS3. I think Neo is mostly going to be for high-end enthusiasts, the people who can afford and want a 4K TV and an Oculus (or Morpheus) next to it. Scorpio I suspect is going…

Didn’t stop ‘em back in the ‘90s. Hell, doesn’t stop them now. How many shit PCs ship with Windows?

Not in my experience it doesn’t, to be honest. I ran into a host of problems whenever I dug beyond the everyday stuff. Which, for the record, I do NOT fault Canonical for. I would agree they’ve done a good job of turning Linux into something usably mainstream with Ubuntu. That said, well, I’ve written up my opinion of…

No, I’m not, but how, precisely, does that pertain to my point that most people don’t care that some Czech pilsner called itself Budvar back in the day again?

The big downside is that you never know when you’re going to hit folk code or some sort of open source pissiness. When one guy is writing your printer drivers, you’re at the whim of that one guy.

I meant Reggie’s reaction is odd, not that Nintendo researching it was odd.

My theory is the cavemen we see are ALSO androids.

Yup. If you look closely you can see the Virtual Boy filtered into a lot of Nintendo’s later products (note the shape of the VB controller and the N64 controller, or that the 3DS uses a similar, if upgraded, system from the VB.)

True, and Valve’s running into that issue with the Steam Machine. But this is Microsoft were talking about; incredibly ambitious, poorly considered ideas that lock people into a Microsoft ecosystem are the norm. Remember when the Xbox One was going to require you to connect to the Internet and make used games a thing…

The odd thing is that Nintendo has clearly been researching VR all these years. The Wiimote is a VR controller.

To me it sounds more like Microsoft wants to transition console gaming to a PC model, where a lot of people are making consoles that play Microsoft approved games.

It sounds from the various interviews the Spidey games will be “timed exclusives.” It’s weird they’d task Insomniac with the job when Insomniac walked away from making platform exclusives a while ago.

This is a pretty good point. Those are damn good cookies.

You’re aware I was making a joke, right? Ease off the throttle, hoss.

But the money goes to adorable children, not some jerk who probably donated to Donald Trump.

Ho-lee shit. Good, good find. Thank you.

They’d never take away condoms. Then they might knock up their mistresses.

I could find it interesting if the aspect is Kratos is drawn in unwillingly to fight.

I don’t think Kratos dies in the opening of the game, but I’m not going to be surprised if he’s a smear by the end of the game.

I don’t think they’re going in that direction. The ending in particular, where Kratos seems uncertain whether to reassure his son, speaks to maybe after five games he finally learned something.
