I read up on it after seeing the trailer.  Supposedly there was originally an explanation planned, but it was cut.  I think I recall that they thought it was scarier and more focused that way.

If they acknowledge that it will eventually fail (their statement that all components eventually do), have they given any indication on how difficult it would be for the end user to fix?

A watch that boldly announces the person wearing it once had $2150.

My guess would have been they don’t want the assets from the game reused via modding, etc.  But if the agency is as tech-adverse as depicted in the article, they may not even realize that’s a possibility.

Clearly, Hallway Switch-Man is in time out for buying a Switch (OLED) when we already had a Switch at home.

Huh, I can imagine a lot of elevator pitches for movies / episodes midway through a Mass Effect Series (Mass Effect 2 as a variation on a heist movie, for instance), or even midway through the first game (with the subquests as the focus of individual films / episodes), but I have no idea how you would start it in a…

A Gargoyle, minutes before being slain by Jack: “Man, I am going to look so great in these chaps.  I’m just going to carry them around with me as I do my daily patrol of the Temple of Fiends.”

The black shirt and the white shirt were useful items in the original game. I just wasn’t expecting them to be so... literally realized in the remake.
(No, I’m not serious.)

Only in Soviet Russia.

This just in, Kotaku blacklisted from future Square Enix game reviews for leaking entire working script of new Final Fantasy game.

I didn’t have high hopes when I heard the rumors of a FF1 inspired Souls-like, and wow... I am still somehow left disappointed.  This was bad to the point of self-parody.  What were they thinking?

I can’t help but reminded of “The Producers”. It’s super cool that you were able to finance the film that way though.

Homeworld 3 was, I believe. That’s what this article seems to be about. Psychonauts 2 and Pillars of Eternity 2 were as well, as I recall reading the Fig pages about them. The thing was, as I recall, that the games had to hit what seemed like very high level of baseline success to get to the point where they paid out…

The “investing” aspect of Fig always seemed neat, but I’ve yet to see a project use it which I thought had a hope of actually achieving its revenue sharing payout targets.

It wasn’t announced until well after platform selection had been frozen, as I recall. I was quite peeved to learn that the copies being sent to most backers wouldn’t be complete. The fact that physical PC backers would get all the stretch goal content wasn’t announced until even later (update #87):

Previously in the kickstarter campaign, 505's representatives had mentioned the possibility of a “complete edition”, to be released once all of the campaign stretch goal content was developed ( or dropped, as the case may be). In fact, Backers who chose the Physical PC release still haven’t received their physical…

At the same time, Gouken taught Ryu, who has a super powered evil side so potent that various other characters have attempted to weaponize it, and which has been its own playable character more than once. So it seems like he’s (Gouken is) being a little inconsistent in his application of standards?

Hunk counts because of 4th Survivor right? In which case, Hunk.

I’d always assumed that they’d just go the prequel route. IE. go over the events that turned Rita into the Angel of Verdun. The twist would be that the roles were reversed. IE. Cruise’s character was somehow involved, but in his more naive state. Every iteration where the two get to know each other leads to his death.…

I thought Garrus was calibrating the accuracy of the Normandy’s cannons? And I think I recall an overheard conversation between Garrus and Legion where he, somehow, achieves higher than Legion’s predicted theoretical maximum in that regard?  Implying that there was some use to his work throughout the series, or that…
