I think the solution is simply to let people other than Bethesda make games with Bethesda’s engines.  Like New Vegas was built in top of the Fallout 3 engine, but it felt very different from Fallout 3 and Skyrim in a way that was fresh and interesting.  Microsoft owns enough game studios (including the one that made…

I think the best summation goes to Kotaku Emritus Tim Rogers when he said “ “its pretty good for a game made entirely out of problems.”  Like it’s never going to be a flawless game, but you can have a good time with it.

I’m surprised they ignored the biggest problem with Mexican week- the Technical Challenge was “tacos” a dish that involves no baking.

Honestly, I would appreciate an Oreo with less “stuf”- the “stuf” is the worst part of the cookie.

Yeah, it genuinely feels like Boston Market’s niche was filled by “almost every grocery store offers rotisserie chickens now”.  Sure, they won’t sell you half of one, but it’s not like “leftover rotisserie chicken” is a hard thing to put to use.

TBH, I’m glad about that.  I don’t really like driving/riding etc. in open world games.  I’d much rather “walk around.”

I feel like the protagonist of an RPG should only be voiced if you want to insist on specific things about the character. Like it’s reasonable to voice Geralt because that character exists before we get our hands on him and we only want the player to be able to insist about certain things about him. Making the…

Yeah, the premise was “you can land anywhere on the planet and walk around”  not “you can walk from any part of the planet to any other part of the planet.”  Like it really doesn’t make sense that a player would want to walk thousands of miles in one direction when they own a spaceship and could fly over there much…

Nooo... not the onion soup. That was the only thing I ever got from Panera (I can make it myself, but sometimes you don’t have several hours for caramelizing like 5 pounds of onions.

If I want it more gingery, would something like Reed’s or Barritt’s be an acceptable substitute?  My personal philosophy on ginger is “if ginger is appropriate in something, it’s hard to overdo the ginger.”

It really speaks to the corporate capture of the regulatory apparatus that “autopilot on consumer vehicles” is not illegal or at least restricted to specific areas (like rural highways.)

Hell, cast Steve Buscemi as the Flash and I would have been there opening weekend.

The general audience reaction to the first Dune seemed dominated by people largely unfamiliar with the books, since we got articles like “Dune needs to bring back Duncan Idaho” which is one of the (inadvertently) funniest sentences I have ever read.

I feel like if you can trust a kid with a cell phone that costs upwards of $800, you can trust them with a nonstick pan that costs $25. The good alternative would be like a carbon steel pan that is like half-nonstick, but you’re looking at paying at least twice as much for one of those plus there’s a process for…

I mean nothing short of “they re-cast Barry Allen to be someone who is not a kidnapper” would have gotten me to buy a ticket to see this in the theater.

We really need a better name for “you can spherify basically any liquid with sodium alginate and calcium chloride” than “caviar” when it comes to something from a corporation rather than a chef.

The biggest thing the set is missing is “a nonstick skillet” which you should probably get somewhere other than IKEA.

I mean, the layoffs are certainly concerning. But the Edmonton Studio not releasing anything since 2014 except for Anthem was already very concerning (Mass Effect Andromeda was Bioware Montreal, which was a support studio, Bioware Edmonton was the BG1&2, ME1-3, Dragon Ages folks.)

So how much do the IMAX reels for Barbie weigh?

A cocktail that tastes like a PSL, is most likely disgustingly sweet.  Disgustingly sweet I can handle in my coffee, but not in my tipples.
