So like every major American city then.

I don’t think these will ever work as a reliable means of transportation. Their practical use seems more geared toward “fun” and spontaneity. Seems like a good way to spend an afternoon in Santa Monica. Not so much as a means to get to work. Especially in a hilly city like SF. And forget about riding somewhere with…

Wow, so you’re telling me that anti-piracy measures have greatly inconvenienced paying customers while pirates get to enjoy simple features such as back up saves? Wow. I am shocked! Shocked, I tell you. Who could have seen this coming?

This is so cool. Glad to see they listened to the complaints. I’m going to have to wait for a sale though since this will be the 4th time I’ve purchased this game!

My pick would have to be from The Killers - Hot Fuss:

I don’t think this game is for me. But I sure do love the art style. Would love to see an adventure title get this coat of paint.

It’s been out like a week. My guess is this time next week everyone will be busy raving about A Quiet Place and maybe even Blockers.

This is a great list. Lots of great mentions here in the comments as well, like Shovel Knight. One game I would add, even though it’s very niche, is Factorio. I recently picked it up and am loving it, and can’t help but notice how well it runs on my weak laptop.

I listen to a lot of rap but wouldn’t consider the word as part of my lexicon. My mind simply doesn’t go there. Not saying it proves he uses the word outside of rap. But it makes me question it. Maybe it was a fluke. Or maybe more of this stuff will surface. Time will tell.

Not trying to be racist but the fact that he went for the word would suggest that it’s part of his common vocabulary. If I was ad libbing a song my mind simply wouldn’t go there. Basically I agree this incident isn’t necessarily a huge deal. But it does make me question his character, how he behaves off stream, etc.

I can appreciate it as a way to better understand their mindset when they played the character. It’s interesting from an acting standpoint. But in terms of the movie itself and its plot these reveals are usually meaningless.

Deleting the Facebook app from your phone is a great place to start. Really now, how often do you need to look at Facebook? That said, I did notice something concerning even after I deleted the app. One day I went to look at furniture for my living room. Later that night, I logged into facebook and was targeted with…

I finally bought my first Nindie, Steamworld Dig 2, about a week ago. It’s a pretty simple game but it sure is fun. It’s been great for quick play sessions here and there. It really is like Minecraft meets Metroid. Combat and story are the weak links. But the exploration and digging is damn fun. I think I’ll try…

Here’s a tip that’s good for any Nintendo console: Buy eshop gift cards when they go on sale. Nintendo’s digital sales are rare and usually offer shallow savings. Using discounted eshop gift cards gives you a little extra bang for your buck, especially if you can stack it with a discounted game. Just don’t buy more…

Also worth noting: They showed in game footage of the Dark Souls remaster for (IIRC) the first time ever. Also they announced something about a network stress test before launch that will allow newcomers to try the game.

Well now we know what big game they’ll be showcasing at E3.

It’s a risk factor. Not an underlying cause. To attack it as if it were the latter is plain stupid.

Old man yells at cloud. I wish the gaming execs would boycott in unison. They’re being scapegoated. Why would you show up just to get roasted by an ignorant blowhard? To give him an audience is to legitimize him. In a year he will point to the games being released and cry that they didn’t do as they were told. What a…

Because they’re filled with hate, resentment, bitterness, and so on. All these things take a toll over time.
