I think it might get a number yet. It would be pretty confusing for new players at this point if we'd never had numbers, and some newcomers get confused about where Brotherhood and Revelations fit in.

The new logo *is* a guillotine. That diagonal edge is the same as the descending blade.

This will most likely boost sales for ACIV. It works as an advert for the current game more than the one we won't see for seven months.

I used the word "denial" rather than a word denoting malice. The motivation is rarely an active hatred, it's true, but if the choices go unckecked then the product of these decisions is the same as if it was. It's a rare person who'll name an evil and revel in it; most people insist that they are good people who don't…

Suppose that you exist in a parallel world, a world in which you are not an Indian woman. You live somewhere in the West and, although you live in one of the multicultural societies that produces and buys vast numbers of games, almost all the games you can buy feature you playing as an Indian woman. And for a while,…

Off-topic, but Evan: since you're tonight's updater, I wondered if you've seen this rather impressive augmented reality FPS?

Seriously. It's hard to imagine how the OP can possibly have been a fan in the first place, without knowing the group's stance and without knowing better than to refer to Yauch as "the dead guy". I think the "ruined" thing is a bit of a lie, and the whole outburst was just an excuse to post a MLP jpeg.

In November 2013, GoldieBlox took the Beastie Boys to court to claim fair use of their song as a remix.

Ah, I see! Thanks. Layperson here - I just read New Scientist and a few other "pop" journals, so I'm only skimming the surface really!

I was thinking this, too. They're talking about behaviours rather than code, I guess. Haven't got time to click through to the article right now.

One example of how embryos and tumors share traits involves something called "sonic hedgehog," which drives home how geeky-y Sega developers really were:

No, were you reading? "I'm not saying all of that is magically fixed if you alter the gender of the sex workers", I said at the end. It's not an all-or-nothing thing, so stop trying to make a nuanced post sound like it is. I specifically pointed out that the protective feelings of male hetero players will be teased…

It just amazes me the things that can raise hackles, tbh.

Got figures?

According to chart data. It's not duplicitous; it's all we've got until more official accounting appears. Your anecdotal account isn't anything like as relevant as this chart data. The fact the thing is number one when it's only on XO and PC (and the PC version came late, right?) is of huge importance to both EA and…

We don't know a specific number on how many Xbox Ones have been sold, but MS did confirm they'd sold 3m (sold, not shipped) by the end of 2013. That's not pretty terrible, that's pretty good. And now we've got chart data indicating a big uptick on that rate in the UK market. Seems like a good sign to me.

Of course they're not promoting sexual violence, and they probably think this is noble. I also bet you this sex worker looks like a catwalk model.

It'd be a lot more powerful, and it would say more about the character, if the protag was out to save male victims of sexual violence. Given that Pearce is probably a hetero dude, since they'd have said something by now if he wasn't, it would significantly alter the way these plot lines play out.

"Most anticipated", though? They're fun games, but in terms of pure enthusiasm the world's not really going nuts about those, since they're satisfying an expectation rather than inflaming people's want-glands. Titanfall has immediately become a huge seller, although largely because of the lack of competition on its…

Doubling sales of the console? It's a big deal.
