Is it? I don’t think it’s hard to acknowledge that game development is extremely hard while also criticizing shitty marketing and hype.

FF7 Remake was announced at E3 2015. I think it’s fair to expect that three years later we might hear at least a tiny bit about it. And it’s embarrassing that Square Enix is pulling a Versus XIII again.

*nintendo* “hold my beer”

I did really enjoy Vesperia! I’ll have to get it for my Switch for sure.

To be fair when they bought Rare, MS was had. That company had already lost so many of its main leads before the buyout. Most of the Goldeneye/Perfect Dark team was already gone (making time splinters) and most of the pkatformer team was also on they’re way out. The value in the company was its IPs which you can say…

Just here to point out that Frozen hadn’t even been released when Kingdom Hearts 3 was announced. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m going out on a limb here in saying that I believe you won your own shop contest!

Half-Life 76! I mean 73! I mean Episode 76!

Might as well at this point

ASW’s mindset seems to be “If you put in the work, you can stomp anyone with your character choices.” That’s a good mindset to have for a fighting game, making mid to low-tier characters become beasts in the hands of those who devote their time into learning them.

Yeah, I’m absolutely not surprised about this news for the same reason. It’s just not a money-sink, like CCGs. And I liked that about it. You only need 4 Android: Netrunner decks (2x Corp, 2x Runner) to have a fucking phenomenal time with that game for years. The play is so deep and nuanced that it takes a while to…

The ways these read screams machine generated articles. I will not give them the pleasure of the increased traffic, but I will not be surprised at all to find the articles to read like they were pulled directly from his Bio or an AP source.

What made Bourdain so special is that you don’t even need to fucking pick his life apart to figure out his “motives” or what was happening, because he had already laid it all out. He held absolutely nothing back, especially when it came to his demons. That’s why he’ll be so missed. The fact that his loved ones are…

Luckily apparently no journalists work for Newsweek anymore so you’re not contradicting yourself.

Search engine optimization. His death, which everyone will be Googling, the words “who is,” which everyone will be Googling, and something no one else will have, because it is irrelevant.

Apparently Newsweek wants to become the go-to magazine for people who find The National Enquirer too challenging a read.

My detailed analysis is as follows: a bunch of fucking assholes bought the Newsweek brand, and put their fucking asshole editorial slant on it.

Reason to not seek fame: as soon as you die, everyone tries to pick apart who you were, question your life’s work and motivations.

I found creative ways to fuck with them. Makes it kind of enjoyable, actually.
