A "pointless article" which injects a degree of humor into the sharing of an awesome new trailer? Calm down, buddy.

I'm most impressed by the props. The leaves for furniture, animal masks... when bells started flying out of the rock I lost it.

I personally have a problem that THREE MILLION DOLLARS (minus Kickstarter fee) went HALF AS FAR as it was supposed to. Are those figures not shocking to you? Would six million dollars have resulted in Double Fine creating a twelve million dollar game? Where does it end? I would say as a Kickstarter backer of other…

I would just like to point out that (to get a little philosophy nerd on you) there's not a single ethical system on the books that would justify reciprocation by a moral subject of a harming action perpetrated by a moral agent. Meaning, if a moral agent caused a moral subject some sort of (emotional, physical) harm,…

Hey man, I think you need to get a grip. I'm pretty sure there's not a single law on the books anywhere that forbids a woman who is not in a relationship from having an 'intimate encounter' with someone else. You must be confused.

It's unfortunate because I was looking at it about $20 minutes ago. I hope the deal comes back up, because I didn't get a chance to bite.

Personally, while I don't recollect any implication of structural necessity myself (beyond the buzzword filled and ultimately inconsequential Azure cloud processing), I find statements like that are typically just smoke and mirrors. I believe if Microsoft wanted to they could reverse these policies and restrictions…

If this is true, I guess I'll be dropping a total of $900 this holiday season...

A pretty simple solution would be mandating a $40 price (at most) for downloadable titles, this is including the AAA "$60" releases that they have on Xbox Live. If they're going to embrace such an anti-consumer DRM policy, they have to show that is something that has value to consumers. They argue they are playing the…

That's the dream, isn't it? But I think moves like that will have to come after the Xbox One posts some lackluster sales. Ultimately I think for "bro gamers" (or whatever) the Xbox One still seems very appealing. Those interested in Madden and Call of Duty and uninterested in DRM and digital ownership may still…

Agreed. These are not "first party heavy hitters," they are iterative updates that approach franchises in ways that are very played-out with the exception of the new 3D Mario which looks amazing. Nobody wanted a new Donkey Kong Country, especially from a talented company like Retro. One was enough. And the new Mario…

Why would developers "stand up" to policies that benefit them? They are out to make money. I'm sure they hope the Xbox One succeeds and we, as consumers, just decide to drink the piss that Microsoft assures us is just fresh and clean H2O raining down.

My biggest question is if family members, playing the "same" digitally downloaded game, can play it at the same time with each other

I'm a little confused as to how to get that $3.50 price for Runner2. It's not in the actual bundle and I don't see anything written that if I buy the bundle I get Runner2 for $3.50. How does this work?

Concern for other people's situations is irrational. Got it. Thanks for clearing that up!

I think, when we talk about cloud connection and the ability to 'expand how you earn achievements,' something along those lines is likely in the cards.

I think what really makes me uncomfortable about Shadow of the Eternals is that the appearance of this game seems shady on its face. It's billed as a "spiritual successor" to Eternal Darkness, but it's being made by a new company (presumably with some holdover staff, and most notably Dyack, from Silicon Knights). It…

That PowerA controller... ooooof.

I'm not sure you've actually played the game if you think it's anything like MKvsDC. Unless they literally sold you a copy of MKvsDC in error.

To be fair, the price did not "drop". This is a week long sale which is indicative more of the health of the retailer. I've picked up plenty of new games the week after launch for nearly half price from places like Toys R Us and K-Mart. At any rate, next week Injustice will be $60 new everywhere.
