The way they handled those early access codes (the ones that went out via Keymailer, not the ones people who preordered received) was genius. They approved requests from anybody who had a YouTube or Twitch channel with even the faintest pulse, and naturally those lower-tier folks are going to tend toward glowing…

I goddamn hated Romeo+Juliet.

The only thing I knew about that movie was that Anson Mount was in it, and I only learned that recently.

Ghostbusters has spawned two very good (IMO) and very different games - one just called “Ghostbusters” that came out in 1984 and the more recent “Ghostbusters: The Video Game,” which came out in 2009 and was remastered ten years later for then-current consoles.

50% water/50% alligator/50% Dodge Chargers and Challengers.

I’d love to see a new Fallout game. I know these things operate mostly independently, but it’s kind of lousy timing that the most recent Fallout game will have been out for six years when the TV series drops, with no new one on the horizon; it’s entirely possible, though, that they’ll announce one in the run-up to the…

Yeah, my first thought was either it’s a subverted trope or not a reference at all - Akira didn’t event laying motorcycles down for heaven’s sake. In the clip, it looks like she’s trying to hastily avoid running into a barricade.

Pitfall Harry?

We’ll have to wait until his shift at the bootlicking kiosk is over to see his reaction.

Thanks for the heads-up.

It can be funny in certain contexts, I think, maybe like where it’s just lurking in the background like it does in WWDITS. But yeah, constant overt jokes are a bit much.

That sucks (and I say that as someone who’s had two endoscopies this year), but I don’t know what that has to do with a waiver, especially considering that the context you brought it up in is someone suffering grievous injuries, unless it was radically different from the ones I had to sign.

Sure. But the post I was replying to seemed to imply that signing a waiver would mean that he would have absolutely no recourse, as if doing so is absolutely the end of it. A waiver is certainly an additional hurdle, and potentially a very high one, but it’s not a brick wall.

And did you have cause to sue them?

what the hell is that white vision up to?

Waivers aren’t a magic bullet. If the negligence is deemed to be serious enough (and the allegations certainly paint it that way), they won’t protect the production.

It’s a current-gen machine! This generation has been around for a month shy of three years now for heaven’s sake.

Yep, that and “look at these awesome CPU and GPU specs” (and in the case of the PS5 “look at how fast our storage is”) which is fine and normal, but pretty much the opposite of innovation.

The thing that irritates the shit out of me is that unless a game is specifically approved for BC it won’t work even if you have the disc. That potentially removes one of the major appeals of having a drive, at least for me.

I dunno. I could see that happening with a Pro version but like most slim versions this one looks like a more cheaply-built version of the console with the same performance specs. I don’t see any reason to replace either of my PS5s with the new model.
