About a month behind you.

I can see it now: a future-planned sequel, involving a driving school, called “three-point-turn”.

Obligatory:

Awesome. I’m still hoping that The Chalkeaters are correct about Valve perhaps soon learning to count to three:

I really don’t get this. Am I the only one who’s always heard it as, “So long, KING Bowser”? I didn’t realise the mishearing was so common. Perhaps it’s a difference between versions? I played mine on a UK (PAL) N64.

Passing thought: what if instead of a <suicide squad> game they made a suicide <squad game>?

If you use Ublock Origin, these custom filters will stop them:

Meanwhile, I shall wait for the Definitive Edition and only buy it on sale.

Okay then. That still makes no sense as a pun to me (as there should be a correlation between “bass” and “plus” too), but I thank you kindly for explaining it ^_^

I feel like the creator of the joke had the right idea in the “C- bass”, which could have been changed to “C+ bass” if they’d wanted something more positive.…

I don’t understand the pun here. What does “bass” (sounds like “ass” in the context of “sea bass”) have to do with grades? Is this a US-English-specific thing that I won’t get as a Brit? I’m aware that “bass” can sound like “base”, but that’s in a musical context only and still doesn’t explain the pun.

It may have a 91% rating on the Tomatometer from 462 results, but the audience rating is 43% from 218,757 user results. This is arguably the more-important metric.

I fully respect your opinion, but I fundamentally disagree. I particularly disagree with your comparison between Half-Life and other games, as they’re not a fair comparison at all: more like a reductio ad absurdum.

Before I write any more, I wish to state that, as a fellow conscious and feeling being, I mean no…

Let me begin by saying that I respect Value employees’ needs and desires as individuals. Additionally, I am happy for the gamers who both want virtual reality games and can afford sufficiently good hardware to use with it.

That said, I am disappointed with Value’s decisions.

Virtual reality, like 3D films, is not for…

During the Boxing Day sales?

I disagree that Google Stadia not succeeding is disappointing for anyone other than their shareholders. If it succeeded in the current world we’re in, there would be no continued push for faster, full-fibre connections and it would erode the idea of games as goods rather than services.

I wonder how much it cost them to use The Dream Of Life by Alan Watts. Interesting narration choice though. I wonder if the trailer makers were fans of the game Everything, which also used quotes from Alan Watts.

“Sometimes you just need to kick back, relax, and stomp some noobs.”

No. Your right to have fun does not override other gamers’ right to a match that meets their skill level. Your enjoyment should not be at the expense of others.

Huh? I don’t understand the confusion over the calculations.

(1+2+3+4+5+6) / 6 = 3.5
3.5 * 216,000 = 756,000

The calculations check out.

Also obligatory (from Into The Spider-Verse):

Episodes? No, no, no, no, no. I got stung with Half-Life 2 with episodes.

Besides, odds are that at least one whole episode will be dedicated solely to those bleeping mini-games!
