Microsoft has been trailing Sony for some time now and while I wish it was done via an internal push for more and better first party entries, them having additional massive franchises under their belt will help prevent Sony from resting on their laurels. If 3rd place is always 3rd, why do 1st & 2nd even need to try…

This deal is good for no one but the stock holders and of course, those wonderful golden parachutes for upper management.

Just going to say this so the cheap seats can hear it.

I’ve come to learn that G/O Media sites are TERRIBLE sources of “deals”

And the AV Club is doubling down on green face paint being a scandal. Is this the new Ellie Kemper Participated In a Ball a Long Time Ago?

That’s a terrible price on the T7. If you aren’t in a hurry, they regularly go to $80 at best buy, and in fact are currently $75. The non shield, which should be fine for ps5, since you don’t need it to be water and shock proof, is $70.

I’d also like to mention the trend with Manufacturers and dealerships:

Dealership: Orders everything in black, white, and gray. Pushes sales on the cars they have in stock.
Manufacturer: *arms up in the air* Hmmm, I guess people don’t want to buy colorful cars, let’s stop offering colorful cars.

Reviews like this one show how good it was for Kotaku to ditch scores all those years ago.

Well written. I’m looking forward to finishing this game sometime in the next few weeks.

I would say the game has at least as much conventional exploration and puzzling as BotW, so if that game grabbed you, this one should, too.

It’s really weird that FF XVI would have such a homogeneous cast when their previous entries were so loaded with cultural diversity and representation.

I think a lot of us got that “modern gaming isn’t designed with us in mind” feeling with this one.

I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt that you genuinely don’t understand, and spelling it out for you: his tweet suggests LGBT people are pedophiles, hence “they should leave little children alone”. If you don’t see why that’s bad... well.

Despite the report, Schwarzenegger beat out incumbent California governor Gray Davis, a Democrat, for the role.

25 fucking years. Quarter of a century. That’s a long time to rest on one’s laurels.

Theyre not saying Link is officially and canonically trans. They’re saying Link isn’t a super masculine character the way mmostmale heroes are portrayed, and Link’s androgynous look lends itself to folks playing Link as a trans or differently gendered character.

This is all just AI, isn’t it? This has to be AI. There’s no way Nintendo’s legal team is this consistently stupid unless they hired an intern to input a set of data and push a button and let ‘er rip.

I kinda want the final round of that Tournament of Champions to be two players, and tehn have Ken Jennings introduce them, and then a third podium lights up and he introduces himself as Player 3

I feel bad for D&D.  They should have either popped it out a few weeks earlier or waited for late Summer.   A week before Mario was a bad idea.  

In a world of C.S.I.s and N.C.I.S.s, if you don’t have a 10+ year run and at least two spinoffs you are a catastrophe of a series. We should be on S.W.A.T.: Kennebunkport by now!

It’s neither.  The whole point is to force the gamer to get creative with their inventions, so you never know what you’re going to get, but you still have to make it work.
