Exclusives are a way of creating competition between storefronts. Epic has drawn a line in the sand labeled 12% and now expects Steam to step up if they want games to be drawn back to their storefront. 30% is an INSANE royalty rate and they only got away with it because there wasn’t an alternative. Now there is.

Hey, ‘Ol Jim Sterling had a very fine review —

There are so many games out there, Joshua. This one just isn’t for you, and that’s okay. It doesn’t need to bend over backwards with an easy mode.

It’s fine. This is fine. I’ll be fine.

This same guy who was whining due to lag also immediately donated a solid 2k to an old acquaintance of his after finding out she had stage 4 cancer (something she had only just found out herself). The attention he gave her ended up in the rest of her hospital bills being paid off in full with change to spare because…

Speed Racer is awesome whose beauty is not easily understood.

Between the two Fantastic Beasts movies and JK Rowling’s twitter idiocy, I just can’t bring myself to be excited about HP properties anymore and that makes me sad. At least with Pokemon, I know that Squirtle isn’t going to all of a sudden be an anti-trans activist.

I’m going to refer to this has Hotline Harambe.

I really like how Rocket League handles it, where reporting once will put a flag up, and you will not be matched with or against that player again, and once a certain threshold of reports is reached for a single account and a review has confirmed the allegations, punitive action is taken and everyone who reported this…

Have you ever heard of AirMech which is like a spiritual remake of Herzog? It is free to play though...

Gamers are just the biggest fucking babies.

Still the best live-action iteration of Superman.

Hey, did you guys know that Tetsuya Mizuguchi did not direct Tetris Effect? Or produce it? Or design it? It’s true, the only credit he has outside the music (which, giving it the benefit of the doubt may also double as level design) is a shared credit for “game concept” with the actually credited director, Takashi…

Yeah, but then you would be one of those weirdo’s that talks to all their friends about emulators.

Because games are great and I believe we should take them seriously.

I prefer this to almost any other ear bud for gaming, I’ve been replacing mine on eBay every year or so. It allows enough audio bleedthrough for my surround sound to still be effective while hearing my party chat.

What a great article about how someone can have a variety of complex, nuanced—and, most importantly—evolving viewpoints about not just a divisive topic, but all the sexist/misogynistic baggage around that character. Thank you for writing this.

Totally disagree with this... The Tomb Raider reboot series has been one of my favorites since its launch in 2013. If we can’t get Uncharted on PC, this has been the next best thing. My main criticism of the game(s) is that they’ve been held back a bit by the amount of collectibles scattered throughout the maps. The…
