Kirk, this is easily the best game review I’ve ever read, but also the best writing of any kind that I’ve read on this website. I enjoyed your creative narrative prose over the the technical trappings of FPS and other “data.”

Fair enough place as any to say that we’re here and not going anywhere. And we’re not anyone’s punchline.

Obama lost more offices for the Democratic Party since prior to WWII. Who’s fault is it that he’s that bad at politics he couldn’t maintain the coalition that voted him into power? The voters, or Obama?

I dunno. His 14 years in the spotlight has shown that he hasn’t been as sharp or as smart as he was when he was just a constitutional law professor. His record speaks for itself. He’s wishy-washy, and that’s not what the Democratic party needs next decade, when socialists like me will be driving the bus.

“Commenters, you magnificent bastards, I read your posts!”

Clutch move with the preemptive Chopped GIF.  Saving a lot of comment space.

More pressing thing I can think of is a data breach.

It’s the latter. The big companies buy up stock months in advance now (it’s the same with big books) and this game seems to have gone into physical production very late compared to others.

This is some f’ed up crap. This is how we allow corporations control everything. I used to not care, but this is getting out of control.

Worst case scenario you pay more in dues per year. Best case scenario your job conditions do not get worse when economics and the like tighten their grip on your work place. 

Minimizing chaff and bloat is almost always a good thing. And, given how well both Origins and Odyssey have been received, i’m looking forward to the next one, even if that won’t happen till 2020.

They would be better with no one. As in, without a coach.

You know, this is a horseshit comment, and while your intentions are no doubt good, you appear to have forgotten where you’re aiming. This is Kotaku. We have our faults, but pulling punches ain’t one of them.

Ah yes, the ol’ guilt them in working more trick. “I mean, I work 100 hour a week, other people don’t, that’s ok if they aren’t as passionate as I am.”

Yes, of course! We talk about that on the podcast, too, the idea that humans by nature want to break things and find every possible loophole to get out of having to do something that we don’t want to do.

I’m surprised they didn’t try to make a deal to acquire Algernon.

Okay, well we can certainly agree to disagree, but Xbox management under Phil is a very different ballgame in every field. If they do aquire them, I don’t think you need to be worried. The problem with MS wasn’t they they shut down their first party studios, they never had any to begin with (rare aside) and relied on…

Although I guess with 76 coming out next month, it was probably never going to happen anyway.

What the hell are you even trying to say here? This makes no sense whatsoever.

Glad to see I’m not the only one slowly clearing entire bases of people, even though I could probably take them all on at once.
