I am officially gullible for thinking that Kotick cutting his own salary meant a damn thing. I welcome your derision.

I assumed he was akin to the real ruler of the universe in Hitchhiker’s Guide, but instead of a bureaucrat, he was a warrior king, oblivious to the actual source of his people’s woes, but blithely wandering into danger to slay the dark gods that threatened his reality.

I don’t think that applies, though. I looked up the definition, and part of it says “it is regarded as a criticism or comment on the original copyrighted work". There's no commentary or criticism on BCC here. They're just using the imagery straight up. 

Does Kirby even eat meat, or is he finally free to live out his violent, gun-related fantasies in Forgotten Land’s post-apocalyptic environments?

So what impossibly gorgeous man do we think Bonet is gonna pull next? 

Possible. That was also the original actress, so it may have been officially sanctioned/licensed. Who knows? :D

Do the people who made The Big Comfy Couch still exist as a legal entity? Cuz I always wondered if they were gonna sue the crap out of SNL for 100% ripping off Loonette’s look...

Hey, I ain’t staring. I prefer to keep my network uncompromised, tyvm...

Thanks for the heads up. I’d completely forgotten about the Vice debacle. 

Naomi Wu is a delight. She takes no shit from anyone, and she’s fine with you staring with her chest, because she will have hacked your network while you were distracted: https://www.vice.com/en/article/d73njv/a-qa-with-the-woman-who-designed-her-own-hacker-heels

I hope they include the Trespasser from Ratchet and Clank, if only to learn from its mistakes. JEBUS those ones got frustrating...

I predict she’s gonna be Rihanna-rich before the end of the decade. Regardless of your opinion of her, girl knows how to work with money. 

Absolutely. I saw the article title and basically went “... yeah, that tracks”. 

... is anyone else kinda over the “The _____” names for Halo factions/things? The Endless, the Covenant, the Banished, the Flood, the Forerunners, the Weapon... just have a hard to pronounce alien name, dude! Everyone else does it! You have run out of style points! :P

I admit my ignorance to the differences between game dev and other tech industries. Wouldn’t anything not cured with better processes not be cured by being in an office (i.e. better training would help with onboarding, but if people are bad at communication, being face to face wouldn’t improve that)? If you’ve got…

There is literally no reason to not allow video game devs to pivot to WFH. The only logistical barriers I could possibly imagine would be the ability of their VPN to handle the lion’s share of their users simultaneously, and issues with individuals’ internet speeds to maintain a robust connection. Other than that, WFH…

Man, I wish they hadn’t pivoted to open world in Burnout Paradise. First off, an element of a racing game shouldn’t be whether I get LOST or not on the way to the finish line; second, the focus on the crashing was reduced, which was a huge misstep (Burnout basically turned a driving game into a fighting game, which…

I think Sony is in an “opening weekend” mindset about their games, or at least these ones. If, right off the bat, the game isn’t a) financially successful, b) critically acclaimed, and c) well liked by the fans, its success will always be seen as lackluster. Days Gone seems like the equivalent of a mid-tier film - not…

Hey, I’m near your age, so believe me when I say it’s not hard to get. Both YouTube and Twitch are analogous to television, but YouTube tends towards the equivalent of “scripted” television - a video is recorded, edited, and uploaded to the site as a finished product. Twitch is closer to sports - a live broadcast of…

They should have just made PS Now a free add-on to PS Plus. I’d have adopted it in a heartbeat if it didn’t come with an extra price tag. Now it’s been over seven years and only NOW am I HOPING they do what I wanted from the start. I’d have even accepted it with a bump-up in my PS Plus price as long as I wasn’t paying…
