Adobe Illustrator also doesn’t yell at you, insult you or tell you to stay on your side of the document.

Call me a pessimist, but I still consider any delay for this game a move forward from “never released at all.” I would love to play it eventually, but I’m not holding my breath. Then again, like certain other ambitious next-gen games (Titanfall, Destiny, Watch Dogs, etc.), it will probably be released, but will be a…

Love it. I'm still sad that he stopped offering his Post-Punk Super Friends series in prints, presumably because of copyright issues:

This has been a banner week(ish) for unauthorized satirical re/de/unboots! I assume this will get the usual takedown treatment, so I hope someone is ready to repost...

Yeah, I do get that, and it feels to me like a flaw in the game concept. The typical MOBA formula seems to rely almost entirely on having a very tightly-coordinated team, which is very difficult when playing with random people, and then exacerbates it by locking you in for 30 minutes, even if you know from minute 2…

It's possible I'm in the minority, but it seems to me the root cause of toxicity is people taking games so goddamned seriously. I am not a MOBA player... I do play plenty of FPS games, which can have similarly toxic communities, but I also just do not care. I play for fun, I certainly want to do well, but I'm not…

It's nice to see this on a Gawker site, really it is, but the problem you're describing is at the very core, if not the core, of blog writing today in general. One could indeed call it the Gawker Syndrome. The obliviousness, the arrogance, the mean-spiritedness that you describe in your previous life as a game blogger…

I think it all depends on what you want to get out of it. I play multiplayer FPS games frequently, and I almost never communicate with strangers. Moreover, it doesn't seem like many others are either, judging by the lack of flashing mic icons. That includes Evolve (I have played it with friends also). It's still fun.…

You don't have to participate in chat. I never do, in any game, aside from playing with friends, and it works fine.

While I agree in principle with some people suggesting "don't support them and their lousy business model," the reality is that Evolve is a laudable attempt to create something new in an era of sameness and sequels. If you want more options than Call of Duty: Riot Shield Warrior and Assassin's Creed 27, you should…

I think "Fuck all the branches of the MRA machine" is an overly simplistic and emotionally-driven comment, but to suggest that such a statement is roughly equal to "I hope u get raped u fucking whore" is a whole other level of crazy. The former is a sentiment, however course, questioning the validity of a movement;…

Another day, another thing to be outraged about in Destiny. In terms of amassing grievances, you guys can't say you didn't get your money's worth, you don't even have to pay a monthly subscription to be this angry!

Well put. You may feel that they didn't include enough content in the core game, but the existence of partially-built areas that may ultimately be part of the expansions does not mean "they cut out content to sell it to me again." They would still likely do this, even if there was twice as much content in the core…

I think his point is that it is actually possible for something to be funny without it being Jackass. It's not difficult to sense of a certain amount of cynicism in games like this, which I definitely got from Dead Rising 3 and which I could see getting from Saints Row and a few others — that developers are simply…

Hard to say how much depth the actual game will have, but the visuals alone are pretty wild. Definitely worth keeping an eye on.

Yes, I saw the JPEG you guys been shopping around on Reddit, the authenticity of which I have no reason to question. Aside from the fact that she doesn't actually confirm that BMW currently advertises with Gawker (and it could well be that a customer relations rep has no idea, or access to that information), which…

I find it sad that you, who seem to be a reasonably intelligent person with at least some initiative, have decided that THIS is going to be the big cause worthy of so much of your energy. The whole thing has basically become self-reflexive now, with all the discussion being about this silly faux-movement itself rather…

It's sad to see how many apparently-functioning adults become children when exposed to the Internet. He probably would have had the maturity not to say these things in person to someone, but he said them on Twitter, to a much larger audience. He has no one to blame but himself.

OH I GET IT sorry *hangs head*
