It sounds like Remedy understands the mistakes they made with the first Alan Wake, but as someone who also hated playing the first AW and never finished it, and loved playing Control (and absolutely loves the world that Remedy has built around these games), I’m very nervous about how fun this new one will be.…

Huge relief to hear that there’s less focus on combat, because my god, the original game SUCKED when it came to the actual gameplay. I was so drawn in by the story but sometime in the middle I just quit after having to redo the same combat section ten times in a row. Frustrating, not fun at all, clunky as hell. I…

As far as I can recall, the reason they went with Epic is specifically because Epic allowed them to retain ownership of the IP--much as I’ll rail against Epic, this is one case where I’m ok with the exclusivity if that’s the tradeoff.

Why does he always do that dumb cocked eyebrow expression? Every picture i’ve ever seen of the man has it.

The original face of Max Payne says things, and....I’m sorry, but I just can’t unsee his mug as the guns-akimbo, time-slowing excop with nothing to lose. “You are in a computer game, Max.”

You continue to cherry pick what you respond to

The GOP has been, explicitly and without consent, fucking the people of the United States for at least 70 years and didn’t have the shame to keep it from being recorded. If the Fuckface Party isn’t ashamed of their own actions they don’t have the right to try to shame anyone else.

It’s because it’s a stupid question. She’s a qualified candidate and the GOP’s campaign is solely based on misogyny. 

Nice copypasta, spanky. 

I might have added that they may have also found consenting adults watching them hot, but pretty much exactly what you said

Yes. You’re way, way off here. Why should a qualified, educated candidate well-respected in her daytime job exclude herself from a position she’d be qualified to hold because of the misogynistic attitudes of the opposition in regard to sex work?

They are bringing it up for 2 reasons. The hope that some democrats will decide not to vote for her and that some Republicans and centrists will be galvanized to vote against where otherwise they wouldn’t have turned out.

I’m not actually familiar with a lot of games that have these themes but I thought the conscientious was that in between Kojima’s nuttery it delivered the absolute best.

Remember, they said in *the medium*, so specifically video games alone.

I have plenty of outrage for the GOP. But for doing the most obvious fucking thing, to win an election? Point to a video that was posted on the internet?

Put something up on there, paywall or not, it’s out there.

As a couple who spent our children’s early years daydreaming about buying some property down the road and erecting a “sex yurt” to get some private time, my wife and I can only nod appreciatively hearing about Newman and Woodward’s fuck hut. They lived the dream.

Yeah... I’m kinda wondering what the next collection(s?) will result in. Can they do a good port of MGS4?

“remain some of the most profound meditations on geopolitics, war, and the military industrial complex the medium has ever produced”

I could see them then following up (if elected) with calls to ban porn in the state/country with “I have verifiable proof that people are mailing explicit sexual content to people without their consent”. 

I actually watched it a while back. Just a couple going at it and having fun and talking to people while they are. Both have nothing to be ashamed about in the least and honestly, Susanna is hot.
