and believes that the recent SVU episode was about her

That's...just not at all true.

You got a finished game: Broken Age 1.

Many/most of these games weren't even scams. A scam would be a project that took KS funds but then never applied them toward the development of a game—these are games that fell apart in the development process, which is a fact of life in the industry that KS games aren't immune to.

In other words, they are in the same situation that every advertising-supported journalistic outlet has found itself in since the beginning of time.

Love is making a recent widower put away his grief and learn to love again, then immediately widowing him a second time.

John Simon was once in the nineties overheard saying "Homosexuals in the theatre! My god, I can't wait until AIDS gets all of them." So there's that.

Well, Penn (at least) outright opposes net neutrality, so there's also that.

It's cool if you don't like the game; whatever.

Somehow I don't think he will mind if a debate rages on whether he is more "heroic" or "sexy."

The majority of people who have played the lottery have lost 100% of their investment.

Those lines don't have climbable poles under most of their length.

There was a joke there?

They fixed that bug, among others, for the PAL release; they probably fixed it here too.

S4 was remarkably poor at differentiating its large cast of characters, at telling a compelling story, at providing varied and challenging gameplay...it didn't do a whole lot right. It was the first game Konami did without the involvement of the series' creator, and it showed.

Er, the original is not showing up as available for Vita, just PS3/PSP.

Yep. It goes beyond gameplay mechanics, too—the art design and even the storyline were optimized for what the PSX was capable of. It just isn't gonna look that good, whether reconceived for the new generation or not.

K. "Slap in the face" to me means that they deliberately made you suffer, when they actually went to some lengths to minimize the distress that this gameplay decision (again, something they did because many players had asked for it) might cause.

I don't understand why a game cannot simply present the world passively, without executive judgement. Simply set the game in a racist or transphobic world

Why is it that when someone gets grief for a shitty thing they said, they try to paint themself as a free thinker being repressed by a hegemonic majority?
