Framed, a very cool mobile game about moving the panels of a comic to change a story, has a sequel on the way.

Alternate perspective: I didn’t love the last act, but I didn’t feel nearly as strongly about it. The operators were annoying, but manageable. I do wish Dahl’s arrival had been as cool and well executed as “We’ve got hostiles” from the first Half-Life, which seemed like a clear inspiration. But I still wouldn’t advise…

Breaking News: Rudy Giuliani now calling for the abolishment of the TSA, citing executive overreach.

I’m playing on PS4 and there’s no input lag.

I hate you. But I still read your stuff because you do a good job.

A big difference is there malleability of the video game medium. You can completely change the look of a game far into development like we’ve seen with the first Borderlands or TF2. You don’t want people attached to some early version that then changes dramatically.

It really isn’t. It saves so, so, so much time. Because as soon as a game exists for the public, they want information, they want updates, etc. If the game gets cancelled, as plenty of games do, they will want to know why, they will want what went wrong, they want blame, etc. If they don’t know that a game exists: no…

Excellent article, thank you for this! Really takes me back.

I would like to remind everyone that this is not censorship and that Playtonic as a private business has the right to express itself as they see fit. If they do not wish to include voice work by a controversial figure in their video game that is well within their right. Jon’s free speech was not violated in any way…

Nuclear Tornadoes... You just gave some hack at SyFy a movie idea... thanks!

4. Has Ben Affleck ever met an autistic person?

Depends how big they make it, but it could expand beyond that, too. Maybe you have to play as Ignis lagging behind everyone while Noctis keeps trying to run ahead and Gladio yells at him to slow the fuck down.

Right, and if you’ve played the game it should be pretty obvious when you’ll play as Prompto. (Pretty obvious when the Gladio and Ignis DLCs will happen, too.)

.... haven’t pulled this one out in a while, but; Dear Mr. Lasner and Dear Husband of Mr. Lasner,

Some people just REALLY want to get out of Detroit.

How coincidental, Triple H will be our bond rating after the Trump Presidency.

Excellent.
