I’ve never known blizzard to be good at this - frankly they are probably one of the worst at being up-front and actually dealing with this kind of shit of ANY game company. Toxic behavior solutions in WoW usually comes with some type of penalty to the system and to all players instead of them focusing on serious…

It’s sort of sweet you think it’s 13 year olds. No — try 22-25 year olds. Even 30— who don’t know chill AT ALL.

I feel like that’s the way for any ranked game. Like lower level DOTA is its own brand of hell. It’s filled with people aren’t that good and while they lose, they don’t have the self-awareness to sit down and try to figure out and how to fix their playstyle or their attitude. So they just end up in the same shitty…

US audience =\= white....i know you know that but come on....

It’s a silent movie. The original score is an integral part of most of them.

No it’s not. https://www.criterion.com/current/posts/2211-napoleon-returns - This is ONE film. It took decades to get it restored. It then languished in licensing hell because Frances Ford Coppola is a tool and held the rights to it and refused to release it. It was also recut to add more film that was found…

You literally answered your question in the quote. “Keeping history alive” If noone does anything to keep them playable with new hardware they disappear. People — specifically companies with a lot of money — should do more to maintain their archives. Those discs, the optical drives in those systems will die. They…

I mean...the same shit definitely existed. Just in a different form — like people were just using message boards and AIM and then fb — but a lot of those early groups are long gone. I graduated at the same time as you and people managed to be horribly offensive and gross - they were just lucky the internet had a…

That’s how I feel. I’m just there to be free and have fun get mowed over.

I actually read that in that horrible robot thing’s voice. The dialogue in that game is so god dam obnoxious. I wanted to kill every character in that game and make them suffer for the horrible way they talked...then it would be nothing but silence. Sweet. Sweet.Sweeeet silence.

Anything Ubisoft has done recently is absolutely soul-less. It’s like being in theme park for 100+ - all empty set-pieces. It’s fun for the first few hours, but then you realize how fake and empty it is and you’re bored. I’ve never been able to finish an any of those games you mention because of this. And that’s…

It’s funny. I’ve been with the same gaming guild for 10 years usually was the only girl or there was one other one. Good guys to play with very chill and nice and met most of them IRL a couple of times. But whenever they pug someone who is a girl - it’s like...”hey hey hey...well i can help you raid or do that dungeon…

No. It’s not the official flag. It WAS the official flag of the Imperial Army and it was the banner under which they committed some pretty heinous shit. But it’s not used to this date.  It’s only used now commercially by people in Japan and America for #aesthetic reasons — and also still very popular among Japanese…

Huh....it wasn’t like she was sucker-punching him in the gut. She was doing the whole ribbing thing that friends do???

My engineering friends call tech jobs in game development a siren song for nerds. At least in NA - you are woefully underpaid in comparison to your counterparts in other industries, less benefits, way way more hours worked, less likely to be promote...you have to love it. My comp sci teacher worked for EA in the…

I got lucky on BOTW(like only by a little) - when I went to pick up my Switch someone had opted not to get the Link on the horse one and just left it sitting in line so I was like “screw it” and grabbed it because he was so darn cute. Didn’t realize they are that rare. So obnoxious.

WoW came out in 2005 and like most games iterated on itself to keep it interesting. Destiny came out in 2014. By that time every single major MMO had LFG matchmaking for raids so people could easily jump in and play...which is the point of ANY game. Coordinating 40 people to go through Naxx40 was fucking…

Truly amazing it wasn’t even there in the first place mostly because even then they were standard for every multiplayer game - including MMO’s with large group content.

I doubt the series is gone for good. Dragon Age and Mass Effect are marquee series for Bioware and A. Make them money B. Usually have a rabid fanbase which continues conversations YEARS after release which is free PR for them. I just think this may be a situation where they cool it down and mull over their next steps.…

Eh. This isn’t EA so much as the development of Mass Effect was just a nightmare it looks like. They had multiple creative leads leave mid project and from what I saw on that now infamous glassdoor review just an insane amount of turnover and poor working relationship with Edmonton — don’t work there and don’t know…
