It’s pretty confusing. I thought it was almost a My Cousin Vinny situation where there was a real culprit the helicopter saw but they got mixed up with someone else in hte shuffle of backyards and houses or something.

To be fair to Dead Rising 3 at least, the prominent Psychopaths in the game were themed after the 7 Deadly Sins and they were very exaggerated. So the psycho representing Gluttony being like that is in line with the rest of them. Lust was a psycho into S&M with a penis shaped flamethrower. The rest were pretty equally…

Yep, I worked in the Nintendo Call Center in the mid 2000s, and they have a store right on the campus. Looks just like a gamestop basically.

Most of the time it’s Time. Most of the games I like tend to have playtimes ranging from 20-100 hours. So I’ll look at a game I have and think, “I don’t have enough time right now to start this”.

But as the Dragonborn you’re still basically just that prisoner from the beginning of all the ES games. Just now you have an extra ability. It doesn’t affect your backstory at all. I’ve played 4 character builds that were vastly different and could have had hugely varied backstories if I cared for that kind of thing.…

The thing is... I don’t think it matters that a role-playing game doesn’t give the player the ability to “role-play”. I’ve never played a video game in the RPG genre and thought about the RP aspect as something you could actually participate in, no games really give players that kind of initiative, and I’m willing to…

Notice how in Bethesda’s games, you’re always key to solving the conflict.

You never really got to be “whoever” you wanted to be in Morrowind either, you were the prophesied Nerevarine, a literal reincarnation of an ancient hero. Oblivion had you as some random prisoner, but it didn’t really change what your story was just because you had a “free” backstory, you still helped the Emperor and…

Am I the only one who thinks it’s kind of disrespectful to make a person’s memorial service all about the fictional characters they played? I know it’s basically really the only thing other people(fans) know about them, but it seems weird to me to kind of condense their life into the one or two characters they played…

Technically that’s not really what it means. From the Snopes articles linked above by dr_bombay, there’s an explanation given.

Little Drummer Boy is only one I personally enjoy, really, I don’t think it belongs on this list. The Chipmunks one is so goddamn grating though. It’s the worst.

Jeez, they’ve announced this one really early.

I picked this up for $50 at Half-Price Books last week. Didn’t know it had actually just came out.

Another thing to look at in regards to retro-style games, is that nostalgia is a big proponent of them being popular, but the people who’s nostalgia retro games align with are getting older and newer generations of gamers don’t have that nostalgia. So over time, I think they’ll be less popular regardless of their…

I played around with it a little. There’s only like a 1 second delay in streaming. Compared to the 10-30 seconds you get on Twitch. I doubt it’ll get big though, considering how ubiquitous Twitch is.

Yep, it seems that most people didn’t watch the video but just read the selectively quoted article. Nice job, Kotaku.

But there isn’t a person on the planet who wouldn’t do the same regarding their own opinions. Nobody really ever apologizes and changes their viewpoint because people hate them for it. A debate doesn’t really show you much about a person other than how they argue. Calling someone a Nazi and bombarding them with…

My strategy as well, but usually they only last me a few days rather than a week.

Time is usually the biggest factor, imo.

That’s what I found kind of weird about the film’s backlash. Everyone immediately hated on it when they HEARD what the conflict of the story was, but conflict is what makes a story. It’s interesting to tell this kind of story. Are you willing to live the rest of your life alone, inches away from people, or do you…
