Game and tech companies tend to be pretty casual about alcohol on the whole, although some are definitely worse than others, and that wouldn’t surprise me about R* one bit. At least I never worked anywhere where other drugs were on the menu. :\ There were problems of other sorts, though, that’s for sure.

“the only way to stop her was to killer her”

Sometimes I play a game with articles on this site where I stop reading as soon as I find the first egregious editorial error, and see how far I managed to get. On this page I stopped at “gamemight.” Didn’t even make it out of the first sentence.

I remain so amused that when I saw him read from The Amber Spyglass, it was in a church.

The first sentence immediately turned me off, because there’s something I wish nerd-dom would grow past: the tendency to make a big deal of “well, _I_ understood it” as a badge of superiority instead of accepting that just because you pieced it together, good for you, DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY MEAN IT WAS WELL-MADE. If…

I will forever hold a grudge against the camera in a certain dungeon in Dragon Age 2 that sat itself RIGHT BEHIND A GIANT SPIDER DESCENDING FROM THE CEILING so that all I had there for a couple seconds was GIANT SPIDER IN MY FACE and I did most of the battle by button-mashing and a whole lotta hope because I’d shut my…

It is, and I’m genuinely pleased to see that.

So: Is it Tim Goodman? Tim Goodwin? Good Tim-man? Tim Hortons?

For a long time, I was fascinated enough with special effects that I contemplated heading that direction as a career. Then I stopped and had a loooong think about the fact that even if I got good enough in that field to get into a decent company, I probably wouldn’t have much choice about the type of movies/shows I’d…

I got Wipeout for free on the PS3 because it was one of the downloads Sony offered after the PSN hack, so it felt a weeeeee bit less like Christmas...but I’m still glad I got it.

Correction: Other People’s Wangs But We Own It Now: The Video Game

They ARE easier to use in several key ways. I’m pretty sure the only configuration I ever had to change on my PS4 (and it was because it annoyed me, not because it was a showstopper) was about how the main menu displays. Other than that, it’s “plug box into TV, install the thing you want to play, then play it.” Don’t…

I just think it’s a shame that so much of everything has become structured around either the spoilerphobes or the people who really really really want to feel like the smartest one in the room, instead of, oh, crazy idea, _telling a good damn story._ If the people making the film aren’t even allowed to know what the…

“She is be played”

What a read. Thank you for sharing.

I’d love to have a coherent opinion about this from a perspective of gameplay or plot, but I’m more at “my old office is a block away from the pergola in that screenshot, and I will throw ALL THE MONEY at this game if they put the Smith Tower in it*” and shrieking about the mere idea of playing any part of a video…

The bigger problem is that devs tend to exist in a bubble where EVERYONE, in fact, takes games way too seriously.
