Woah, nice. One less issue to worry about now. I’m evangelical and also a major in biology and I dig evolution, so I’m very different than most. I always thought that marriage is important (heck I’m marrying the girl of my dreams this October) no matter who you are. Other’s people’s lives are their own business, if…

I’ve actually only preordered one game in my life, and that was Wind Waker, and that was also only to get the gamecube version of Oot and Majora’s Mask. Weirdly, I didn’t even end up picking up my copy of Wind Waker... I don’t even remember why, but for some reason I just never picked it up.

I am sorry, but stopping pre-orders will not prevent broken games from being released.

Very glad I pre-ordered all the Collector’s Editions for Witcher 3, Elder Scrolls Online, Arkham Knight, The Phantom Pain, and Fallout 4. Will continue to do so in the future. Amazon.com no-money-down pre-orders for life son. Cancel anytime.

As a guy with a degree in marketing sign me the fuck up for this kind of “corner”. Seriously the good will this story gives them is impossible to quantify, especially when it was bought just by being good to a customer.

Now the question is: will the fan get a regular copy of Fallout 4, or will it be the highly coveted Pip-Boy edition?

Wait, if that tweet says Bethesda’s community lead’s office smells like beer due to the presence of the bottlecaps, that means GatorMacheteJr didn’t even bother to rinse them first...

On the plus side, you’ll be rich when the world goes to hell.

Right, and it’s fucked up that it’s still hanging over government buildings. Less fucked up that it’s used in Civil War games.

Agreed. Entirely appropriate for state governments to drop their recognition of the Confederate flag. Entirely stupid to try to edit the image out of public consciousness.

Speaking as a (big) Jew, I’m more offended by people trying to rewrite history than I am by swastikas. In fact, games like Wolfenstein: The New Order are way more resonant for me because they use actual Nazi imagery.

I’m all for pulling the flag down, and pulling sales of those stupid ass confederate belt buckles. But this, now this is just fucking retarded. The Civil War was a true historical event, so a game recounting that has nothing to do with anything happening today. It’s the same shit with all the other World War II…

This entire movie is free for one, and two, it’s extraordinary 80s fan service for us new 30-40 somethings on the block. It can be whatever it wants to be because it’s cool. There’s nothing else that needs to be dissected nor scrutinized.

I can only think of two reasons for not reveling in this movie’s ultimate glory:

1) A shockingly low amount of testosterone
2) You’re too young

What qualifies you to answer question like this?

All my yes. I felt this way since the thing first cropped up. I don’t care if Mike Fahey has secret sexual relations with Shep so he’ll push products he has stocks in. It’s just consumer shit and video games. There’s no real world effect that can come from anything they write other than me maybe buying a game or…

We call it “games journalism” but it’s really just hobbyist/enthusiast press. All of it is written with voice and perspective with the goal of being entertaining and informative about a narrow subsection of popculture.

The pushback is about scammers who try to profit by making unsubstantiated claims.
