Hell, there’s bigger names than them if you include freshman cast members who were released during their first season: Joan Cusack, Anthony Michael Hall, Randy Quaid, Damon Wayans, Robert Downey Jr, Sarah Silverman... I’m sure there’s way more that I’m not even thinking of.

Mine’s 11. It’s no bullshit, there’s no eating in my car and there never has been. Not only has it never even remotely been an issue for the kid (or the wife,) I think it’s literally come up all of twice in that entire time at all, and both instances were someone else just not realizing and handling him a lollipop or…

100% agree. Not only on the fact that it’s more than possible to teach a kid to respect their parent’s property (I sure as hell did as a kid), but just the notion that we all need a van, because, children. I have 3 sisters and my parents drove a VW beetle for most of my childhood. We survived.

I daily drive a Camaro…

Oh yeah, you’re totally right on that one... It was insane for them to think a minimally remastered port (of a series that managed to stay niche in the middle of the birth of the modern FGC), was going to move any needles a decade later. They needed to do a actual launch/refresh of the brand like they did with SF4(+)…

Oh yeah, 99% of my Deck usage comes from laying in bed, with the rest when I actually go somewhere with downtime. It’s an astoundingly good piece of hardware, and I’m regularly blown away at how well it runs these games (most of the time at near-max settings), but that’s at 720p on a tiny screen... The second I plug…

I’d kill for a new DS/VS, but I don’t expect we’ll ever see one again. Cap was pretty vocal when Resurrection came out that our response to that release would determine the fate of that franchise.... Ono very publicly said afterwards that it was clear this was just not a viable franchise for them anymore. As I…

You hit the nail on the head right there for why the Deck is still strongest as an add-on to a gaming PC. Even though the Ninty Switch pales in comparison to what my PC is capable of, when I dock the Switch, the experience gets better. So it still feels like a stand-alone console. When I tried docking the Deck, it not…

Despite kinda wanting one myself, I personally think a Steam console continues to be a terrible idea... It’s trying to put PC gaming into the hands of an audience that just plain doesn’t want it. I know so few people who would be willing to even consider moving from “console” to a Steam machine. They simply think…

Hey, I hear ya, but it’s a tough call... MP blew my mind at the time, and the mechanics and storytelling were both unmatched for their day, but Control is on a whole other level. Every inch of that game feels intentional; it’s like a damn Kubrick movie. And the gameplay and gunplay is far better than it ever was in Pa…

It doesn’t. Heh, I promise, I’m not imagining this. I have the game, it is listed on Steam as Ultimate Edition, but I do not have that content. Maybe it was only an issue if you got it from a third party site like Humble or Gog, but it was definitely not just me. There’s tons of reddit posts about it. Heh, I just…

My brain wants to argue that Max Payne was better, but that’s likely just tinting... Control is easily in the top 3-5 games I’ve played in the last decade though regardless.

And the bigger thing I need to comment on here, just to try to save anyone else the same pain: Control Ultimate Edition on Steam does NOT include…

I’m with ya that it’s a starkly different childhood nowadays than I had, (which sounds very similar to yours,) but the reality there is that it has literally zero to do with video games. They’ve existed since I was about 3, and they’ve been pretty damn important to me the whole time. What’s changed is just communicatio…

That’s the thing all these doomsaying headlines seem to overlook though; it’s still not a niche market. DVD sales have been bouncing around between 1 and 2 billion for the past couple years. And that’s just DVD sales. Add rentals and other formats and we’re still talking about an industry that dwarves all kinds of…

Yeah, I’m honestly baffled by this exact thing regularly, and this article is the perfect example of it; if everything went down without a hitch, this person would spend 1.5-2 hours and likely a few dollars in gas, to... “save” $10.

Even if you aren’t willing to pay for convenience, is your time really that friggen…

Friday evening of a holiday weekend... That alone would cause a massive slowdown in response from (office) workers in the US, but beyond that, you’d probably be surprised how long it would take to correct or even stop, and “IT” would only be a teeny tiny piece of this. Most of it would be techs, developers, and QA at…

Kinda seems like this is missing the fact that an AC VR game (Nexus) was just formally announced last month... If I had to guess, branding it now to Mirage is just them attempting to find a way to sell this peripheral to the non-VR crowd too.

You could absolutely contain an image in some non-redistributable container that self destructs, the problem is that it wouldn’t make any difference. If you are displaying something on a screen, it is literally impossible to protect it from duplication.

An app can certainly disable the phone itself from being able to…

Hollywood wasn’t Brad Pitt’s first time working with Tarantino. He had already done Inglorious Basterds. Hell, True Romance counts to me too, although I don’t actually know if QT was ever on-set for that at all..

This right here. Same crap on newer gen Camaros. All the remote control and nav functionality of my last two have been behind those paywalls, with the same crack-dealer sales model; let you get used to all of these awesome features being there for a year, then see if you’re really willing to not pay to keep them…

So much this. I drone on about this every time this conversation comes up, but it’s still hysterical to me that people thinks game prices are going up. Street Fighter is my forever example. In the span of about a year and a half I bought SF2, SF2T, and SSF2 for Snes, for a grand total of $210. (About $440 in today’s…
