Good for her, I suppose.

Y’know, until I read this comment I hadn’t considered that, but you’re right. Just goes to show you how good that dance sequence was.

I really wish games writers would post their rigs when they talk about console versions being better or worse than console. I played through BG3 on a GTX970/i5/8 GB RAM (which is incidentally Larian’s published min spec) and I can just about guarantee that the console versions are going to run a lot smoother than…

Good news, Halo Infinite now has co-op and LAN support. See you on the battlefield, Spartan!

Wow, gotta love a cherry picked clip show. Not identifying with a fandom, especially one that has been historically not been kind to your gender, is not the same as not engaging with video games. And not being interested in violent video games once again does not disqualify her. Seriously, stop with this chud shit,…

Oh please, spare me with this horseshit. Hitman Absolution is a game that absolutely despises women. It opens with a mission where you murder your handler Diana in the shower as she sensuously cleans herself. It has sexy murder nuns who you spend an entire mission killing in their fuck-me boots. Every woman in the…

Frankly, I think calling it South Indian is more exclusionary than calling it South Asian. My family is Sri Lankan Tamil and would not be included in your term, despite the fact that I grew up on the same dishes, language, and broader culture.

The most unrealistic thing about this game might be the cookbook. Brown moms keep all their recipes in their heads, and will never measure out anything. If they’re not eyeballing the amount of rice flour or hot chili peppers, than it’s not authentic Tamil cuisine. :)

Spanfeller really looking to juice those traffic numbers ahead of a sell off, huh.

They really didn’t. Titanfall and Forza Horizon 2 both came out after the Xbox One launched. To expand it to third party, Destiny, Metal Gear Solid 5, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Dark Souls 2, Far Cry 4, Wolfenstein: The New Order, and many more came out for the the Xbox 360 as well.

It’s funny, for all the handwringing and whinging about this whole cross-gen period, it’s almost perfectly mirroring the cross-gen from last time around. Year 3 was the first year in the last gen (2016) where the majority of games went next gen only (i.e. Dark Souls 3, Overwatch, Final Fantasy XV, etc) and it looks…

This is one of those “sucks to be a games writer, I guess” problems. For us normies, we might buy/play one or two of these at launch and then pick up the rest over the next few years at a fraction of the cost, or on a subscription service. Same as it ever was.

I have an entire closet full of my old consoles in their original boxes. They are great for storage, and yes, I do pull them out from time to time to play older games. I dunno, if I’ve got the space to keep them, why not?

Guess we can’t have fun on the internet. Thanks for pointing that out!

Lol, no game is going to have a day one patch for folks without internet.

Yeah, Plaza’s a millionaire and can spend all she wants on media. Us normies have things like budgets and that budget is usually shot for the month with like two or three iTunes TV show purchases.

Weird, I walked in to my local shop this morning and only one other person was there picking it up. Even driving by the local Best Buy did not seem to indicate a massive amount of people like you’d see at a console launch. Perhaps this is just something that’s happening at the flagship stores in the downtowns of major…

I chuckled out loud when I saw that Super Metroid reference in Survivor. Just a perfect homage!

I remember getting an interview at RIM in the mid-aughts. I was a broke university student looking to get a co-op term at one of the hottest companies in the world. I borrow my parents’ car, pay the $30 in gas, and drive from Toronto to Waterloo. The mid-manager there spends the entirety of the 15-minute interview…
