That was my favourite thing I've ever read on Kotaku.
Thank you.

Maybe it's because they couldn't charge more it it wasn't better?
In this case - I suspect it isn't. I picked up a Diamond clean cheap(ish) from Amazon. Brilliant to use (apart from the stupid sized travel case). Then it broke (progressively got 'weaker' in the vibration dept). Returned it, got a no quibble replacement…

Say what you want about this guy, but he's not a hypocrite.

Agree.
Also - using a console pad gets you something indestructible - that doesn't break the bank. Oh, and you say - 'works'

I feel your pain.
I used to flip-flop between the brands, and there was no real difference - they both worked and I didn't give a monkey's about open Linux drivers etc.
Then I went a bit bitcoin nuts and ended with with two 6990s. Went like rockets, heated my house, and were the most unstable GPUs I've ever owned. Well…

I just fail to see the point of putting my media into the cloud..
..All these sync services use the same space locally as they do in the cloud. Yes I can put 1Tb on dropbox, but then it's still sat here locally taking up 1tb of space

When wanting to watch them, the cloud lets be 'download' - pulling them off my local…

Disagree.
I played it all in one sitting and ended up finishing around 4am.
Walking up into the attic and wondering what I'd find.. stayed with me.

I don't see it as 'telling' - more that potential purchasers of Zelda games would just like a character to have 'Robin' as his name.
I don't see how this compromises anybody's integrity. Robin clearly loved the game and even shilled it. I would have thought the makers loved Robin's love for it. If somewhere in Tokyo…

Started off reading this convinced it was going to end up "smooth-talking computer man fleeces innocent locals of windfall"
But, actually looks pretty good (the game).
Then thought about it and.. well there's quite a bit of scope in this. Majority of this planet, middle-aged and younger are all reasonably fluent in…

My Arse
It's a new business for them, in a new area, that doesn't have to provide revenue.
They're currently gouging on the prices, which I'm sure they'll ever so slowly drop over time, until they hit a pickup of users (and lock the price) or go so low it's unviable and they can the idea entirely.
Where they might pick…

Interstate 76 sequel (style)

Can't compare as I've not played Mario Kart in... well maybe a decade or so.

However, I did pick up Racing Transformed in a Steam sale, and lost a weekend to it.

Hard to describe. It was a beautiful looking modern game (which after a quick google you can get for £8) which seemed to have encapsulated the feeling of…

Meh, not as fun as it used to be.
Reasonably sure my best moment was using a pencil on my Celeron 300A to make it run 50% faster.
On the downside there was the Cyrix that taught me what Floating Point was (or wasn't).
Personally I'm quite happy at the moment. Many years ago I bought an i7 2600k, which my new motherboard…

I agree.
If everybody did their jobs, there'd be no reason to crunch.
Still. To me at least, it does have some positive connotations. Few times I've been in a situation where we're all gathered, told hot deep the shit is, told we're all in this together, and we've all focussed to move heaven-and-earth to get the thing…

Agreed.
Really annoyed about how many good games I'd have paid good money won't let me just 'buy them' and insist on free+in-app-payment. I simply don't 'buy' (I guess install) them and I'm sure I'm not alone.

I'm clearly alone - but I liked the voiceover.

I can see both sides of this. I was brought up coughing up a pile for a game - that was then mine and never sought another penny from me. It stood alone and had a single price tagged attached.
Then along came mobile, which initially consisted of nice throw away cheap games that all seemed to cost a pound or two.
Then…

Indeed.
Now reading " unlicensed or stolen".. yet on FB they're indicating that the codes were lifted from their manufacturer..(which I'd consider quite definitely stolen).
Still going to be fun watching this story pan out.

I disagree.

Agreed - I've occasionally watched a capture of somebody playing a game - but mainly if they're doing something special, they've got access to something I don't have - in summary I like the ability to watch other people playing. The ability to push my own games is somewhat.. well self-indulgent and definitely…
