If you’ve ever dreamt of having Hannibal wish you a happy birthday, then your highly specific and weird dream has finally come true.

“I don’t want politics in my games” just means “I want politics in my games to go unexamined”. And Kotick would certainly like that very much, especially considering the kind of politics his games are peddling.

Money and politics are not only connected, they are constantly 69-ing each other.

“I don’t want politics in my games” is, in of itself, a political statement. If Kotick says he doesn’t want politics in the games Activision-Blizzard makes, consider why he doesn’t want you to think about policy in the games his corporation publishes.

The overpaid head of a company that exploits tax laws across two hemispheres doesn’t want people to think too hard about policy. Imagine that

I love paying 70+ dollars (plus a monthly fee) to have the privilege of paying full price for year-old games that will—AT BEST—have mild amounts of noticeable input latency.

Disney probably isn’t gonna pay you for all this white knighting, just so you know.

This is like the only criticism I’l ever have at creators intentionally picking diverse casts. Pandering is a legit problem, but so much discussion on doing characters right, gets lost in the crowd of bigots who are just upset diverse characters exist.

And then people start making characters to spite the bigots, while…

I agree! And as I noted I think Disney+ has the potential to be great! But I tried to log in today (Thursday) and was greeted by a blank screen that entirely failed to load. It’d be great if users could actually enjoy all that excellent content without needing to constantly log out and back in, close and reopen the…

You don’t fuck over other people like that to play a part. Everyones in on it when a heel plays the part. They aren't really screwing anyone, cus everyone is in on it. That wasn't the case here.

Heels might be fine in the WWE, but that’s because the people in the ring KNOW they’re up against a heel. It’s all scripted, everyone in the ring knows what’s going to happen. If the heel pulls a dick move, everyone knows in advance.

However, WoW is a public game. He’s playing with other people. Acting as a heel…

Don’t mind heels for entertainment, but this sounds more like Asmongold is rewarding a guy for being a douche. We don’t need another potential twitch streamer using his “persona” as a cover to justify being an ass. It would be one thing if we know he’s just playing a part, a la WWE, but we don’t know that.

Let’s hope…

People often say “there are so few people in X community though, why bother making a character like this if so few people will relate to them?”

As a 30-something straight dude, I never thought I would relate to the experiences of a bi-curious teenage prep-school girl, but damn if I didn’t love Life is Strange. Video games are a great way to experience things you never would in real life and...just maybe...consider that people who appear very different from…

Many people think it, but rarely try to put it into words so I think its important to say: cool.

And it’s coming exclusively to the Halo, Gears of War, Mountain Dew and Doritos console. I’m sure that audience will LOVE this game.

If you raise your hand to your partner (absent a credible/believable threat of imminent deadly or maiming force issuing from them first, anyway), you’re a piece of shit.

Full fucking stop.

I try to be understanding and open-minded on most things; life is complicated, and the world vast—there are many paths through it…

To be fair, a lot of the criticisms of the game just don’t really seem to be in line with my own experience of the game. It’s not a “you just don’t get it” thing, in my opinion, but “this isn’t for you”.

I didn’t agree with a lot of the posts on Splinter and I often disagreed with a lot of the comments. But the one thing I always appreciated was that when something absolutely ludicrous happened and not nearly enough people were going around saying, “What the flying fuck was that?” I could always find people on…

The gag with tall guy in the little car picking up Nelson by his head isn’t going to make a bit of sense now.
