I’m just always excited to see an article that’s basically “hey guys remember when EA and Bioware tried to cynically jump on the live service bandwagon and failed miserably? good times”

Didn’t know that at all. That’s disappointing. I have good memories of playing custom games with him way back when. Also, after reading my post I feel I should clarify; I didn’t mean to imply that being an actor somehow meant being a good person or anything like that. I worded that strangely.

This doesn’t surprise me in the least. I used to play Halo 2 with the original Red vs Blue cast, and was even part of their clan. The only cast member who wasn’t an insufferable asshole was the guy who played Caboose, who was (as far as I can remember) a real actor. All around nice dude.

Bring back Imperial, you cowards

For the lawyers. 

Forgive me for not shedding any tears over Sony’s potential loss. This is a company that has rode the exclusivity train HARD for decades. Not just in games, but in all manner of esoteric data storage formats and interfaces. Some of them caught on (CD, Blu-ray), and others didn’t (Betamax). For them to suddenly act…

That’s how all lawsuits are. Hyperbolic and pretentious as fuck.

Hi! I see that you likely don’t work in the legal industry. That’s ok! You’ve made good choices in life.

I enjoyed the original. Wasn’t my favorite game but I liked the story and characters. When I saw what was planned for the sequel (which looked great), and then found out it was cancelled I had written the name off completely. THEN I see that they revived the name and stuck it on a completely unrelated game and it put…

Yes I also prefer my advertising to be natural and grass fed, not artificial.

It’s worth pointing out that with the removal of gunsmith parts, dismantling weapons and gear will directly award gunsmith reputation. So if you have a vault full of junk, you may want to wait until after WQ drops to dismantle it all. You’ll save the extra step of having to turn in the parts, and you might get some…

I thought this was going to be a story about ActiBlizz hiring policies

That’s also incorrect. Just because someone puts something in a contract doesn’t mean it’s suddenly legal. If there are laws against this sort of thing, then that contract will be rendered void as soon as it hits a courtroom, signed or not.

They were heavily influenced by the story of Mendicant Bias and Offensive Bias from the Halo 3 terminals. The main story of Infinite is roughly the same; one formerly good, ultra-powerful AI (Cortana/Mendicant) goes rogue and proceeds to clap the cheeks of its former masters. Said masters respond by creating an AI…

There’s no court precedent here.

No it means the case wasn’t worth risking in court, the costs were getting out of control, and/or the lawyers realized that they’d get a nice cut without dealing with extended litigation.

That was....his entire point?

I’m glad I’ve never jumped on the hype train for any streamers. I don’t care to watch someone else play games, and I definitely don’t care to watch when it’s just them curbstomping new players and then acting smug about it.

To me this sounds like a lot of streamers are mad that they will have to find a normal job.

Saw a lightly disguised Rivian SUV driving around Costa Mesa a couple days ago. I had kinda forgotten about them, so I was excited to see a real one driving around. I’m glad to see them get off the ground, let’s hope they can keep it going.
