Spacey an asshat but there are sinister systemic undertones here. While Spacey’s charges are fully warranted as part of the #metoo movement, one has to wonder why Weinstein an others have not seen major press for being charged? Why is it that the black guy and the guy who assaulted men (both of whom can easily be…

Such a shame I lived SWTOR but when it went F2P they EA chose the worst possible model. I did not play enough to justify $15/ mo. (Sure still cheaper than a movie and pop corn but why bother when other F2P games had a better model). If they had charged for vanity items I’d have stuck around but the minute I saw they…

The OP clearly says they are a federal worker, not private.

A good lesson that you don’t ever “buy” digital content, at best you lease it.

“…veered dangerously close to pay-to win waters?”

Some people will do anything to get attention.

That microscopic analysis has gotten out of hand and frankly has become annoying. Speculation is one thing, but pointing to every color on some poster, period at the end of a sentence, or hair out of place on some random Porg’s head as the proof that Rey is Greedo’s daughter or some silly crap is getting ridiculous.

It also needs to be said, Hollywood execs and some audiences are slow to change.

Well said, while I agree tonsome extent I think you missed some of the forest for the trees. A huge part of the argument is not that the violence exists, it is integral to the world the game exists in, but rather that they chose to showcase the game with burtal violence without even taking 30 seconds to even make a…

Both of you hit on the beauty of what Naughty Dog did, there is no right answer. I have seen such a wide range of “How it should have happened,” comments over the years and no one is any more right or wrong than the next. That is one of the several reasons I rank Last of Us as my top game ever for its story that…

I agree, based on Sander’s track record this was just a structural goof as he shifted gears. You show me a person who has never made an unintended juxtaposition when transitioning thoughts and I will show you a lair, or someone who does not communicate much.

I think you are reading reading way too much into Sanders statement. He had just shifted topics, and while the way he shifted may seem like a juxtaposition he has demonstrated through actions in his life that he stands with marginalized communities. I get where you are coming from but I firmly believe he includes PoCs…

As a black man who has played D&D for nearly 40 years, and who is a historian in real life (so the stereotypes grate on me extra hard) I can only say I have switched to my own settings for many of the reasons mentioned above.

Interesting

Lol are you referring to the film industry that makes shameless cash grabs all the time? I get your point but it is not as any entertainment medium is above cash grabs and equating games to the all time kings of the technique seems odd to me. Easy fix though  don’t play or watch. Heck, I have left a friends house…

Predictable as it was, and believe me I tend to dislike  predictable, there was something about the direct character interactions that drew me for reasons I can’t put my finger. That and the moral ambiguity of it all made me happy. But hey that is the beauty of all forms of entertainment— to each their own. Even in…

It is interesting to read the comments of those for and against a sequel. For me it is akin to a ‘Joelesque’ level of selfishness, personally other game has made me feel for the characters the way TLoU did. I frankly despise game that tell me I can only 20 or so rounds for x weapon yet then proceeds to let me pile on…

Alas, it seems by the time they get this sorted out a great many people will have quit the game. Niantic got caught flat-footed by the massive popularity of this and rather than thinking outside of the box they used standard corporate strategies which will only lose them a great many players and a ton of money. A…
