Wow. A lot of real winners this week.

Penny Arcade over there with too real truth bombs.

Well, he’s not wrong. A cautious, walking Ganondorf main tend to be very scary. Ganondorf is a punish fighter and exploiting aggression is what he does best.

The character meeting the resistance leader is one of the shortest races, and the leader is the tallest, so it is like looking up a skyscraper. Mega Man at the top references the title screen of Mega Man 3, where he stands at the top of a skyscraper while a bad-ass theme plays. The rabbit ears are those of the…

My 8 year old daughter and I love watching Craig of the creek together. We also enjoy playing Street Fighter II together. We really related to the Power Punchers episode and immediately after we loaded up Street Fighter II and went a few rounds.  Her Chun Li game is really coming along. 

Reminds me of an article that quoted a woman in Florida shortly after the shut down began. She said “He’s not hurting the people he’s supposed to be hurting.” Let that sink in for a minute. A woman voted this man into office thinking his main responsibility was to hurt a segment of the population she didn’t like. This…

“There’s no valid financial reason for the vast majority of Republican voters to vote Republican.”

Gamercat really spoke to me. My RDR2 crimes almost always occurred because I either ran someone down on my horse, or I head on collided with with an oncoming horse or carriage. Full gallop. All. The. Time. No regrets. At least it looks funny when you and a stranger fly off your horses and collide in midair. 

See, now, this is the kind of hard-hitting, behind-the-scenes reporting that I expect and love from Deadspin! Kudos to you, Dan, for serving out this tough assignment.

Ruff assignment, McQuade

Yup. As soon as these shits started getting painted as victimized angels, I started shouting that they were assholes in MAGA hats bused in from a boys school to protest women’s reproductive rights. Even if the black men and the native protesters started shouting at them, they deserved it.

Fuck that smirking little maggot-ass whiteboy.

Even leaving the whole sexual orientation aspect out, it sucks to force a romantic choice onto the player after previously having had freedom. I would have hated it if my Commander Shepard had left Liara for Ashley without me being able to prevent it.

Generally, I’d agree. Which is why games have to be prudent about picking what things they want players to have control over and what not.

The problem is that Ubi chose to advertise romance and sexual identity as the thing players would have control over. They had interviews dedicated to this, even saying you could…

Nope. The new animus works with a DNA sample of the person you want to relive the memories of. No descendant required. 

Its pretty serious when you’re under represented and a company decides to herald their game being LGBT open and friendly and your character can be a gay/lesbian badass hero and then suddenly decides, ‘LOL NOPE! You can’t live your entire life without becoming a suddenly!hetro (wiggle room if you want to play as a…

No they changed the mythology - they’re not bloodline ancestors for quite a few games now.  This was literally unnecessary in the game’s OWN canon.  So fuck off.

Honestly this could EASILY have been fixed by just having gay romances adopt. If gay characters or even straight characters DONT bump uglies then just do a bit of a baby showing up magically at the door as by some gods or something... i havnt played the game but honestly you can still fudge the story and have it be…

“Punch in the gut” cause your character had a baby and got into a relationship is too much. Its not that serious.

If they wanted to check that they’d “distinguished” enough between the two options (and I can understand the logic of the concept) maybe they could’ve... oh I don’t know... asked a LGBT+ focus group what they thought about this idea first...
