It’s not the president’s job to only know about things that are popular, so your Google Trends thing is irrelevant. This is a person who has to help govern a massive country, with unrivaled power in the world and which is currently waging war on the ground and air of Syria of which Aleppo is the second largest city.…

Ha, I once made a very basic platformer which had the same screen wrapping gameplay as this as. It was very limited though in what was possible, because it didn’t have the twist of this game: being able to fix the screen in place and decide for yourself you want to wrap around the screen. It would’ve been quite simple…

2. [Asked how he could justify claiming Trump would be the healthiest individual ever elected]:“I like that sentence to be quite honest with you and all the rest of them are either sick or dead.”

I’d add the Steam Controller. It’s both revolutionary and good. It’s easily supplanted my 360 controller and its upgradability will inspire no doubt inspire future console controllers as well. Not to the degree of the Steam Controller, but I’m absolutely sure you’ll find more ways to customize how your controller can…

Agree with you there, but it’s a pretty big feature to cut. I’ve heard multiplayer too often about this game, but the way it is it went from unlikely multiplayer to enhanced singleplayer a la Dark Souls. Nothing wrong with that, but the messaging was a bit wrong. It could’ve been mostly the community’s doing though as…

My PC is ony its last legs. The power button is only accessible on the inside of the case, it’s underpowered in every way. I like W10 at my work, but it’s just not worth the hassle to upgrade this old heap.

I generally dislike live-action, clearly pre-rendered or too clearly scripted trailers, since they rely on selling you on the feeling of the game which is very hard to capture without showing you the actual game.

That cheap? Cool, I think I’ll look into getting one too if I can find it for such a price. Even if I only use for a couple of times when friends come over, it’ll be worth it.

Interesting, the number of games in this list per decade is symmetrical:

The idea behind demo’s hasn’t gone away. Just its late 90s/early 2000s form.

Press demos and vertical slices run on souped up dev kits/PCs and are heavily guided. It’s easy to train someone to ‘play’ through a level in a certain way for a presentation and it’s not that much harder to guide a hundred or so game journalists. Contrast this to a public demo where you’ll get thousands of players…

I propose that every country triple its education budget. Because I cannot imagine that anyone with a modicum of knowledge about how things work or how history has gone down, would look at people like Farage, Putin, the new Philippine president or Trump and think to themselves: “this will work out well.”

The Scottish National Party has already called for a second referendum, so yeah.

This is faker than that stick of evidence that Sisko planted on DS9.

Without or without a pizza slice? :D

I’ve had a similar lack of interest in his recent theories. I think it started around the same time as what you’re saying.

Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg explains why Skylanders will continue even as concerns over toys-to-life convinced Disney to abandon the market.

I’d add the Finn-BB8 discussion with the thumbs up as the scene that sold me on the humor part of the new Star Wars. Cracks me up every time.

Going to Thailand in little over a week. Can’t wait!

I love games like this. A crazy combo of genres, but the moment you see it you know it will gel with each other.
