This is pretty much how my town grew up. We all had notebooks which kept our list of Pokemon and the official Pokemon guidebook and we just imagined and shit. I’m so excited to get to be a kid again.

That episode with the facial hair nukes though..

Oh. I guess I don’t pay enough attention. And yeah, that seems odd that he singles out one and goes another way with the other.

Best Buy has recently started slowing down the number of games it orders for each individual store in order to drive preorders. My store was out of Bloodbourne for like 2 weeks after launch day.

But Kickstarter games won’t be made if the money isn’t raised. This game will be made regardless. It’s just a way of guilting players into pre-purchasing a game instead of waiting for reviews.

If it was out-of-game physical content, that feels different to me than digital content developed for the game.

He wouldn’t be doing his job right if he ignored a new style of guilting players into preordering. Telling gamers, “If you don’t preorder, your buddy might not get a special mission” isn’t okay with a good chunk of people, and it would be against Luke’s character to remain silent on this. He doesn’t smash every game…

It’s one thing if a game is unproven and no one will buy it. The first Deus Ex sold pretty dang well and this one would do so on hype alone. Guilting players into preording it and convincing their friends to do so seems wrong to me. I mean, it’s really their choice, but meh. I mean, locking an entire in-game mission…

The word mostly does appear in front of my statement.

Well, it's not a simple task and he'd make way more money making a new game for PC. Also, he's probably never developed for the Wii U, so it would probably take a large amount of time and might not work. Thirdly, Nintendo would have to approve the games being added to their mostly kid friendly Internet store.

If you want a rundown of lore/story/theory check out GameTheory on YouTube. They do a pretty good job.

They're on mobile too.

Kinda, but at that price point, there won’t be many of these out there. Also, if someone is spending that much on a controller for use in an FPS, they’ll probably be pretty good at said FPS anyways.

Well, by physical labor I didn’t mean standing in the middle of a field mindlessly smashing a hammer against a rock for no reason, I meant productive uses of physical labor, or more like the rehabilitation camps parents send out of control kids to. The kids that end up there start with 0 rights. That means asking…

I hope so. But I also hope this handler knows a thing or two about computers. I also think mandated therapy, physical labor, and an internet ban would be the better option to aid rehabilitation.

Well thank you for the information. I’d been wondering how that worked exactly. So it’s basically just probation, and as long as he doesn’t screw up, there won’t be anything extra?

He makes a product people are willing to sit through ads to see. Is this such a hard concept?

I was holding out for AoT dubs for paying for Funimation, but I’m tempted to hit that button this season. I’ll see how many of the shows I stick with on Crunchyroll before I make that decision. It’s not like I don’t have a 600+ game backlog on Steam, 200+ hour queue on Netflix, 100+ hour queue on Crunchyroll, and a…

And the Tower in Destiny.

Inconvenience? I haven’t heard of an inconvenience that costs tens of millions of dollars before.

Besides that, I totally agree with you. The swatting is way worse, as is the fake bomb threats and the like. Definitly feels like a light sentence.
