I agree there should be a tax on guns, and that video games are far too frequently used as scapegoats in these situations. And I’m both a gun owner and a gamer.

Yeah, sorry about Nerd Rage being on hiatus. I got sick during the holidays and other work for other clients took over my regularly-scheduled-Nerd-Rage-time.

That is too bad. Maybe next season they will put more heart and seoul into their gaming.

LMAO. Everyone here and on io9 is so negative and I’m stoked. Give me all the Star Wars media I can possibly stand, I’m ready.

You know someone’s a badass when they attack penis size.

Ugh. Boston sports fans are the worst. Even worse than Cardinals fans.

Hey Stephen, I notice that the motorbike game possibly has character avatars? Are those Miis making their Switch debut? Or another character created for the game? Are Miis dead?

This is gonna make you feel better! :D

Thank you for being literally the only game journalist worth knowing by name.

It’s not news - EA made it quite clear during the original announcement in November that the removal of microtransactions was temporary.

It is odd that people seem to think Abrams had a masterplan, when literally nothing in his career suggests he thinks that far ahead. He’s always been the guy who just throws shit at the screen to get the ball rolling, with little regard of how or why or what anything means in terms of story or character, if its shiny…

No. Unacceptable, he needs a storyline where he’s getting beaten with a sock and soap bar. 10 episodes straight, no context, no explanation. Just for about 7 minutes each episode they cut to him getting wailed on.

I dunno, if given enough nuance I could believe she just falls for crappy dudes. I know lots of kickass women who fall for jerks because they make you feel deep intense emotions and you convince yourself (and here I mean “I convinced myself”) that they deserved love and were worth saving. Especially when they come…

I dunno, it seems to me that Poe makes a bad decision when Leia is out of commission, underscoring how much this trigger-happy flyboy could still use a mentor’s guiding hand.

I also don’t think any of the decisions people make in that movie, even bad ones, are thunderously stupid, and in fact mostly make sense in the…

So good to know I’m not the only one who actually liked the politics stuff in the PT, right on.

So is chopping up a dead bird but i do that a lot when cooking too

The “OK” knocked me out. It has to be the the step child of “I said what I said” This child is COMPLETELY unbothered by his teacher. It’s fabulous. And I have been trying to find a way to articulate what my mood for 2018 is and this child found it for me.
