I guess he was the White Power Ranger all along, huh.

It’s early yet, but I alreadyt say best news of the week.

This just reminds me of all the Diablo 4 people before it released worrying about how long it takes to hit max level.  Then sweating it to level 100 so they could START playing the game and then lamenting that there is no game after level 100 and wanting refunds.  All the while ignoring everything they did before max…

Interest was flagging before the Majors story hit, he’s just a perfect scapegoat to attempt to change course

Just recast Kang. We’ve already seen that he can take many forms as seen in the Council of Kangs scene.

Of course. Around the world, people think hockey is the national sport in Canada. But in fact, Quebec-bashing is the most popular.

We all know what is coming next.

1995 was too soon, the technology hadn’t matured yet.

But it’s been nearly 30 years, the time is now.

For the Virtual Boy 2.

As a dad of two young boys, this drives me crazy. Just fucking live and don’t hurt anyone. Nothing else. You want to play Tetris? Fucking play it until your fingers bleed. You want to ride your bike? Ride it. I will never understand people’s need to downplay a kid’s (or an adult’s) passions. My parents had me second…

There could be a lot of zoomers that read the site. Let me try out my Zoomer Call.

“before your parents even knew how to make you, there was The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall.”

And what about Red Dead Redemption II winning an award for the game with the most continued support this year?

as long as there are videogames there will always be 13 year olds processing heavy trauma through them.

Dude what??  Hacking has potentially devastating consequences.  It should not be a slap on the wrist crime.  

Did you not read the article, or did you just read the headline and come to comment. This was more than just “hacking” as there appears to be allegations of extortion. The suspect has full on admitted he wants to reoffend, and will more than likely reoffend any chance he gets. How in the world, would house arrest…

He’s technically not being punished, he’s being treated. Ideally, at some point he’ll be able to manage his condition so that he’s no longer inclined to crime.

I'm in the U.K. This still has the unpleasant whiff of money about it.

Exactly. I don’t care that how ubiquitous our internet connection is, the inability to play an offline game without the internet is unacceptable.

Agreed about that online check bullshit. I don’t buy stuff digitally because in the end it’s an expensive rental. But I had Xbox gift cards and Alan Wake 2 is annoyingly only available digitally. So I “bought” it. One night when I was playing the Comcast internet went out and I got a pop-up saying I can’t play without…

And let’s not forget that the mandatory Kinect, coupled with a mandatory always-on internet, was a major privacy issue.

I wrote a whole blog about this (on this site! that no longer exists! fuck the herb!) at the time, and I stand by it to this day. Xbox One was way ahead of its time and some of its smart home theater conveniences still haven’t been adequately replicated to this day.
