Man, I bought that thing and the failed potential still stings.

Yeah, if this were “legit” at all, they could probably turn it around with Android guts in a box. That they aren’t just makes this look even scammier.

So according to that timeline, they designed the case first. Which, first of all, SPECTACULAR priorities, gents. And second, it looks like Tupperware with a photoshopped PS3 controller on it.

I am genuinely surprised that there’s no PC version on the way. It seems like it’d be a no-brainer relative to the cost at this point.

Oh, modern ICE vehicles are WAY worse in that regard. Far more parts and garbage code about as secure as a tree fort with no updates or, as far as I can tell, anybody even bothering to see what the academics are doing with the industrial code. Part of the reason I own a 2016 vehicle is I sincerely do not believe most…

I stopped driving for my commute for a whole host of reasons, and one of them is right now, I don’t have a car payment, and I want to continue not having a car payment as long as I can. The fewer miles I can put on my 2016 Hyundai Accent the better.

Then they should have ripped off the bandage and said as much. 

“My vote is a magical treat politicians should earn.”

Nope, this is a pretty straightforward question. I pay my company some money for health benefits. If they’re not going to provide a benefit I need, then I need to know that as that directly affects my life. If the company values their political image over what I need to do my work, then I have to figure out if I still…

I work in marketing, and this is absolutely either a raw-metrics strategy (i.e. whoever looks at the numbers only cares that the line goes up, not what’s done to make it happen) or an afterthought as part of the package deal EA signed with some ad agency, who in turn assigned it to the intern.

“They’re a 10 but we can’t squeeze them for more money after they pay us for a product.”

As a marketing guy, this doesn’t seem like it’s being driven by the marketing department. It seems more than somebody at the top has decided to withhold information for some reason they have not deigned to share with the peasants beneath them, and everybody underneath that person (including Cory Barlog from the looks…

Back when I used to get paid to write about games I got in trouble for educated guesses all the time. “This studio has a BIG REVEAL coming soon.” “Well since all they make and have made for years is this franchise I’m going to say it’s probably this franchise.” Ten second later, pissy PR person emails with “HOW DARE…

I picked it up on GOG for a buck. It was... fine? Mostly what these “remakes” need is controller support.

This happens every time layoffs are on the horizon because they want to keep nervous people from quitting.

I suspect this is an outgrowth of a number of trends. Older games have become much easier to port with new tools and move a truly shocking number of copies at low price points (Doom moves something like a million copies a year across all platforms, or so the rumor goes), handhelds that run PC games are beginning to…

I picked up both Portals from Steam recently (which I begrudgingly rejoined recently) because why not, they were two bucks each, and then I saw this news. I’ll wait for a sale but Valve is probably getting another $10 out of me at some point.

I was surprised how much I liked Turing, plowed through most of it in a day on Switch.

Honestly the later puzzles in Portal were no problem for me with a controller. The Joy-Cons specifically may be pesky but we’ll find out I guess.

Yeah at least bring in Signal if we're going to do this.
