Good for him man. The smash competitive scene needs some more confidence and joy and less salt.

Zack is a cool dude. I find it less important that he’s 15 and more important that he’s confident; that’s what makes him so impressive and fun to watch, not that he’s young. Having the confidence to demonstrate your personality despite the haters is awesome to see and leads to entertaining sets whenever he’s involved.

And award for worst streaming presentation goes to Twitch and Sony. That feed was slowing down every couple seconds, it was like watching an animated gif with frames missing. I thought it was my connection, but I checked the chat feed and a lot of other people were complaining too. Let’s also not forget about the…

Yeah Ubisoft’s had the best so far. Never thought I’d say that.

It was fun, but yeah. They didn’t sell me on anything I hadn’t already seen or known about. Going to be a dull year for games this Fall.

Well that was a letdown overall. When it started by showing off three major IPs, Uncharted, Horizon, and Days Past (which looks like the zombie horde game we’ve always wanted) I thought “hmm they must have something really big to show us” but no, they had bugger all. While GoW looked really good still not much has…

What you won’t see in this clip is that, at the end of Sony’s entire presser, there was a short extra sequence showing that Miles Morales, who in the comics took over as Spider-Man from Peter Parker following his death in 2011, will also be in the game.

If I buy Skyrim one more time, will Bethesda stop porting it over to new systems and formats and start working on TES VI instead?

Whenever somebody says they are against something promoting equality or pointing at discriminatory practices (such as feminism, or the BLM movement), it’s always a red flag about their character. And then you get to think about the things they created and where exactly they originate from and it’s a slippery slope to…

One thing I have to say I appreciated? Brevity. Unlike the other press conferences so far they didn’t drag things on just to drag them on. When they ran out of announcements they quit.

Another Settlement is in VR

I guess I’m mostly cynical about it because these kinds of co-op loot drop based games are a dime a dozen these days. It’s played out and the type of game has never been what I’m into.

I dunno, the co-op stuff just completely killed any hype I had for the game. I’ll see how it goes but for now this looks like the first Bioware game I’m probably not gonna buy at launch if ever.

I was really hoping it wouldn’t be another Destiny/Warframe wannabe. Screw multiplayer co-op stuff. I want single player RPG’s. I want some Bioware in my Bioware games!

I think you may be on to it. I’m not convinced that stooping to the lowest possible level is the solution to our political problems. It may deliver short-term satisfaction, eye-for-an-eye and all that. But once we abandon the values and integrity we believe in, will it render our victory hollow?

“Southern US Bible Beltyness” taking place just a few miles from the Canadian border.

For us Central to Northern Europeans, out of all the Far Crys, this might be the one with the most exotic strange locale... what with all the Southern US Bible Beltyness.

I wish they’d talked more about how the recruiting thing works. If it’s really just about having some pre-baked quest-givers who help out, that’s not that interesting. But if they are establishing a more complex system of recruiting and building a resistance, that could be a good change to the franchise. I can’t tell.
