Also in one of the cinematic trailers. I actually thought there was another trailer featuring another Hank Williams song too. Either way, yah, that’s definitely a callback to that old trailer.

That’s a little misleading, some Democratic groups have spent money on what are, frankly, attack ads on crazy fringe Republican candidates, recognizing that attack ads phrased a certain way actually drive turn out from the loonies in primaries. The idea is that the crazy candidates are easier to beat in a general…

I haven’t kept up with the legal stuff going on around loot boxes, but I know some (many?) games disclose the loot box odds, and many marketplaces require it (like google and apple). IF they disclose those odds then they have to be accurate and not misleading, or they’re in violation of the FTC act sec 5.

I think the statements say a lot about the state of mobile gaming, but I think mobile gaming has been a cesspool for a long time.

You are writing a lot of words about this. I guess the answer to their question is no.

Thor Love and Thunder is likely to never be released in China, and is I believe the 7th such large Marvel movie to not meet their standards for release (including, for example, Shang-Chi). It would appear, at least in Phase 4, that they aren’t pandering to China. If you had to be cynical you could argue Marvel has…

I don’t know if you knew this but famous failed business RadioShack’s remnants have been bought by cryptobros, so....yah, all that's happening now.

This person is going around in this world, in their 30s or 40s, with a brain that works like this. I’d say people like this shouldn’t be allowed in public, but I suppose he probably doesn’t leave his basement all that often anyways.

It’s actually a really well know internal bungie tool, they even offered merchandise with its mascot back in 2009 (scroll down a ways):

Yah the second game definitely seems to be uncompromising in its vision, which, well, some people didn’t like, but they didn’t pull any punches and the whole thing is more coherent. Very curious where they go with the third game.

That’s not what I’m saying at all. The clear INTENT of the plot is just like you stated, but the story arrives there via contrivances that you have to ignore to see it the way the writers wanted you to see it. That’s par for the course for video game storytelling, but it’s distracting in a game that had tried so hard…

Love the game, I think where the story falls short at the end, and what is frequently forgotten, is that the Fireflies treat him like crap and are going to summarily execute him. There’s no reason for him to trust the Fireflies after that, especially with Ellie’s life. Rather than execute him while he’s unconscious,…

That’s the one where you can’t tell if it’s satire, right? I agree, this legitimately could be satire that they really only played a little bit too straight.

Is there like a diversity exchange rate?  “Ok John, your game is scoring too low, you can either add one minority, two fat people, one gay guy, or 2.5 lesbian women.”

I started HFW on ps4, and while impressively playable it actually encouraged me to get a PS5 (I didn’t have a hard time, I actually managed to get 2 in one week, got one for a friend). My PC gaming has me addicted to framerates and I love performance mode on it. I’m also on an older 1080 tv so I don’t get any of the…

Thanks to life interfering I will hopefully be able to finish HFW by 2022 anyways!

I barely knew this game existed and thought this article was about the battlefield game people hated at first. It's hard to keep track of all the assembly line game series of declining quality.

It really depends on what’s meant by “degraded.” If it was covered in enough organic material the operator would see electronics and lots of orange (representing organic material) which is exactly what you’d see with a bomb.

That's life expectancy at birth, not at age 79. At age 79 for a US male life expectancy is another 8 years.

In a cosmic sense they're practically the same time.
