Hopefully this is just the first of many. Sure PS4 won’t sweat not having another card game on their system, but if other devs start following suit and skipping the PS4 because of their BS, their tune will change pretty quick.

I bet Chris Roberts and Peter Molyneux are good friends. 

“And you are all questioning weather video games are being thretened by the media? You people are sick.”

True, but there may be some design choices and concessions built around these types of limitations. The framerate issues are part of what made Blighttown so infamous. That brooding feeling of having to go back there because you missed an item or are on another playthrough and the sense of accomplishment for clearing…

Having a definitive archival version in this day and age is tough. Console patches have become the norm which isn’t a bad thing but makes it so you have to wait until a game is no longer supported to get the “final version” of a game. And that is if the game community doesn’t pick up where the devs left off or a…

“I couldn’t ask him to leave the home we currently share because it’s owned by his best friend and I am not on the lease.”

While I agree with this for the most part, I think it can be an important metric for people who are on a budget. If I can only afford 1 game for the next month or so, I would be more than likely to go for the game I get the most play time out of than the 3-10 hour well crafted experience with little to no replay…

The point is it didn’t have to be. It would be one thing if they released this story as a DLC or even a full game a couple years later. It has been 8 years since the release of Red Dead Redemption and it’s a damn prequel? It was a super interesting time period that is mostly untouched in video games. There are so many…

I would argue that if the contents of loot boxes have real world monetary value then they are even closer to gambling. If I am buying loot boxes for the chance to get an item I can sell for more than I spent on the loot boxes themselves, that is essentially a virtual slot machine.

“But I don’t understand why you wouldn’t just pass new legislation”

One of the key reasons it should be called gambling is that then it would become regulated. As it stands now, gaming companies have full control of the odds of getting each item and change them at will. In many cases at the moment they also do not have to disclose the odds. This can lead to things like raising the…

Their periods attract drop bears.

Please stop. How many lines must we draw? Am I nerdy enough to be a nerd? Am I techie enough to be a geek? Did I do enough to get accepted by my peers? Stop putting people in arbitrary boxes. Let enthusiasts enjoy things the way they want to instead of trying to dictate the way they should from your perspective. If I…

Modeling is a paid gig. Cosplay is about being an enthusiast and dressing like a character you are a fan of. Saying that you have to make your costume is a BS stipulation for being a cosplayer. It’s awesome if you have the skill to do so, but it’s also awesome just to celebrate your hobby in this way. I don’t know if…

So you are saying that the cost and development time of a video game is more important that the health and well-being of the people making them? The conditions some of these people have to work in are ridiculous and then they are not even properly compensated for their work if they even still have a job by the end of…

Such a great podcast.

This type of logic only holds up in a vacuum. Besides, most “white” roles could be played by anyone of any ethnicity.

Get in line, ladies!

“there might be some competitive legs on Arms.”
