As long as you have Gamergaters / MAGA asshats who are Star Wars fans (and there are a lot of them, especially since it has a really disturbing fixation on genetic superiority) you’re going to have virulent racism in Star Wars fandom. Which means it’s just part and parcel.

Well that beats what Squeenix was doing with Deus Ex.

For the love of God, Montresor!

This is actually really good news for GameStop!

All you need for that is a spreadsheet.  One without the crazy-ass random scores they just assigned things in this one.

This is Google levels of failing the Voight-Kampff test.

Thomas the Tank Engine was an Orwellian nightmare designed to scare kids into obedience - just as the trains learn to always bow to their God ordained overlords or they will be trod into the dirt by any means necessary. It’s very colonial British.  So this is awesome.

‘Lord of the Rings Game’ <woohoo party!>

We see every day just how damn Fungible these things are, but they never learn.

Squeenix is at that point in their life where they can’t be happy with a decent success, only a giant f@#$ing blockbuster will get them hard. They don’t give a fuck about the players. It’s all Bobby Kotick SHOW ME THE MONEY so I can rub it around my genitals.

And don’t forget those f@#$ers cancelled Bone  (for the third time!).

More like they just want a larger market of rubes to cough up for the crazy amount of microtransactions this thing is going to be littered with.

If you thought Ubisoft was bad now, just wait for Ubisoft owned by private equity vultures.  They’ll make even EA blush.

So many reasons. First, Geddy’s voice is a an acquired taste like coffee.

I think you violated Betteridges Law of Headlines here, because the answer is yes. A lot of us may prefer other albums (I have a soft spot for Counterparts which everyone else hates), but I bet it’s in everyone’s top 3.

Working for a garbage company might have had something to do with it.

This would be completely typical for Newsom. He’s a charismatic manwhore like Bill Clinton. And he’s lucky enough that his MAGA opponents are even so much more loathsome than he is that he’s effectively untouchable.

Technically this is true, but if we’re totally honest we don’t ‘need’ most video games at all, so a remake of a decent old game so it can be played on modern machines might be better than some new Ubisoft NFT abomination.

Well that’s nice, but the engine was not the problem I (or most people) had with the last thoroughly MEH Tomb Raider game.

Well, it was only 90 sales and marketing drones.
