I’m an addict and alcoholic. 7.5 years sober. Video games at one point became the only way to keep the nasty thoughts I would have when I was drink from dominating my mind; something semi-mindlesd to keep the hands and senses busy, something external to dominate and control, something to fight (literal demons, often)…

I’m gonna go ahead and guess none of this is actually hypothetical, and I’m going to stand in solidarity with you.

I didn’t start drinking while gaming in any serious way until Demons’ Souls came out. I was twenty-seven at the time.

I’d been drinking since I was twenty-one, and tended to be a heavy drinker when I did…

Hopefully this isn’t the end of Deadspin and Jez. I literally spend about 1/3 of my day checking these sites. If they go away, what am I supposed to do? Work at my job? Pshhh. Yeah right.

GMG was/is the one corner of the internet where I’m NOT afraid to read the comments. It’s been a good 10+ years, guys.

Been trying to sort out motivation here.

I truly cannot believe how stupid Jimbo and his cronies are. Truly bewildering how stupid you have to be in order to come in and tank a popular series of sites so you can reap the cash from them and then move on.

Been told to stick to women, huh?

Luckily, Outer Worlds just released.

May I introduce you to Outer Worlds as a nice stop gap

Just play The Outer Worlds, it’s better anyway.

Wrong Ishamael lol. But ya get that a lot.  Once the WoT series starts my name will make sense. Soon... so soon.

Lets be honest, they’re monetizing whales to keep the game afloat. They likely don’t have enough revenue coming in as nobody new is coming in, so they need to extract more money from the players they do have. It takes money to keep these live service games afloat and Fallout 76 isn’t making enough to justify the cost…

I have 6mbs internet, it took me 4 1/2 days straight to download it for Xbox one.

On PS4, it was even worse. First the install, which was about 40minutes. Then, a day one 60Gb update, which meant I could not play on Friday and had to download overnight to play on Saturday. Then, when I finally played some camping and multi-player, I decided to try Spec Ops. Surprise! Spec Ops is not part of the…

Gotta love when downloading and patching the game takes up all the time you had to actually play the game.

As Chris Rock said “there are black people who aren’t even born yet who won’t vote for him.”

I realize that Trump is the poster boy for the Dunning Kruger Effect, so yes, he probably did think that he would get a rousing ovation - hell, he probably thought the bullpen was going to call and ask him to come pitchy a couple innings - but is everyone else around him so brainwashed they honestly weren’t expecting…
