Last summer, I set out for a solo day-hike adventure in a national park. I laced up my expensive hiking boots, strapped on my pack full of supplies for the day, as well as back-up, in-case-of-emergency-or-unforeseen-challenge equipment, and struck out up a fairly aggressive trail.

I’m guessing projected server costs exceeded projected revenues?

I keep forgetting how up their own ass the ding dongs you have to fight in the Far Cry games are before I play a new game....and then its ‘whoa nelly’. Joseph Seed is part and parcel of this brand of morons.

they are frankly really bad at being a cult, even though they got thrown a serious gimme from law enforcement who clearly had no idea what they were doing

The story is ultimately frustrating. Triggered one of the 9 (NINE!) events where you get half-lifed while flying a helicopter. Somehow an archer shot me in a helicopter flying way above the ground, knocked me out, and retrieved me without my helicopter crashing.

I’d say that’s right, but to be fair to the Cultural Critique Crowd (of which I am a card carrying member) Ubisoft leaned HARD into that angle on multiple fronts. What’s even more perplexing is that they bragged about hiring a leading expert on cults/cult behavior and then....they got Far Cry 5.

expectations are a curious thing. it seems like people who expected a gorgeous romp in a sandbox are pretty pleased; those who took the early promotional materials at face value — that is, those who thought they were getting Critical Cultural Commentary — are bummed at the lack of insightful story.

going away for a while to nurse your wounds, another Holy Week move

I don’t see your point about a cougar not being allowed in the car.

Furthermore, Cheeseburger should be able to drive the car.

This was instantly my first question after unlocking him as a companion and getting into a truck. WHY? It’s just dumb.

Because this keeps coming up despite being addressed in the article: the n-word is not in the original song. He added it in.

Many “sportsball” type people pointed out how terrible a lot of professional athletes are for a variety of reasons. Now we’re seeing a lot of professional gamers (whether that be streamers/youtubers or e-sports type people) are just as awful. I think it just means that there are a lot of assholes out there in every…

I don’t know anyone who hated Fallon for breaking. I do know a shitload of people who hated him for constantly and pretty obviously faking it because he figured out that the audience found it endearing when someone lost it. Nothing about it looked natural when he did it. He even sometimes would look directly into the…

Stefon is so good becaues Hader is trying so hard not to break, but Mulaney knows exactly what to spring on him that will get him to do it.

Game Workers Unite is a fledgling effort to get game devs unionized that’s formed around this year’s GDC. The organization was born of discussion surrounding an upcoming roundtable on unionization to be hosted by the International Game Developers Association, which has expressed controversial views on the subject in…

I think you forgot the part where the concurrent viewer record was absolutely demolished

Unless a cop has been shot or a kitten got stuck in a tree, 2/3 of every TV news broadcast in Fargo is devoted to the weather.

North Dakota people are the worst to get cornered by. I talk to them daily for work and god bless their hearts, they are the most genuinely kind people you’ll ever come across, but I can’t talk about the fucking weather for 10 minutes. They love talking about the weather, or youth hockey, or hunting. I just can’t do…
