Halfway through the article, I expected to find out Hershey’s Kisses never had pointy tips, that this was another example of a Mandela Effect.

It’s their milk chocolate specially that has that sour flavor. Their other flavors taste fine IMO. Even their milk chocolate when mixed with some of their white chocolate is OK.  But like a lot of people I generally don’t like their plain milk chocolate.

Okay I’m from Sweden and I’ve tasted Hershey’s kisses before. I LOVE the USA imported shelves.. mostly..

Activision is finally coming out and trying to kill Blizzard out in the open. I’d say I was shocked/surprised, but I’m not. Activision has the same corporate ethos of EA, after all. They murder great game studios and have no shame about doing so.

The answer is no, they’re not going to survive it culturally, because they’ve already been rotted away the last few years under threat of what is now actually happening. The latest World of Warcraft expansion, Battle for Azeroth, released on a specific time table, and did so in horrendous shape. It is a picture of…

I was just saying the same thing about Blizz and Bioware above.  Never apologize for your anger about this.  Some scummy corporations have come in and taken something you love and bastardized it.  If you can’t have justifiable anger about that, what can we be angry about?

So... first they (Activision) cancel the Diablo 3 expansion. Then they say: “Hey you got no games or projects comming out this year, now you have to cut costs!”, they drove Blizzard into that situation.

Said a second, who also asked not to be named: “A lot of decisions now are being driven by business folks, marketing and finance folks. There’s a real struggle now between developers and the business people… Strategic decisions are being driven by the finance group.”

Blizzard isn’t the only company that takes its time with games. CD Project Red and Rockstar are both companies that take their time with their games and regularly end up having 3+ years between major releases.

Blizz was still VERY profitable during the 10+ years of developmental on SC2 and D3. Their old titles, and WoW subscriptions, were still charting a decade after their releases. They were, WERE, a quality-focused studio that obsessively tended to their games.

Counter-counterpoint: Peanut butter blossoms are garbage cookies.

Steve Jobs captured what seems to be happening at Blizzard perfectly: It’s being taken over by “Tonerheads.”

“Last month, a Kotaku investigation revealed that Blizzard’s staff have been told to reduce expenses while at the same time produce more games.”

Wouldn’t Occam’s razor dictate Hershey’s has skimped on something yet again and this is the end result? They’ve probably puffed .0001% more air into the mixture and it’s made it more fragile or some other cost cutting BS.

If you actually look into this he states that he reached out to people to allow it to be put on their porch and he offered them money if there was activity. So the people that accepted got greedy and staged their part of it. Mark is no where at fault for the portion that was faked as he didnt even know it until he…

Nah, Kate Cox has it sewn up (ha) right here for weirdest Nintendo experiment: https://kotaku.com/5939210/this-long-lost-nintendo-knitting-machine-would-have-let-you-make-sweaters-with-your-nes

Oddest? Hmm, I gotta disagree here, Chris. Even Rob the Robot is weirder than 64DD. Virtual Boy was bizarre. Giving the Gameboy a printer was insane. 64DD seems pretty tame compared to the other things Nintendo has done. 64DD and Famicom Disk system were probably some of the most poorly timed add-ons in the game…

MetalJesusRocks has a pretty cool video on Youtube about a Prototype 64DD.
