Sometimes the broad answer when someone is bugging you in any capacity is to be honest, and blunt if it comes to it. Easier said than done, and it can be really hard to work up to doing it, but that is often the answer. It’s a little easier to manage if you focus on being polite but honest. If they force you to be…

I had a hot dog.

Thanks for the non sequitur I guess.

This seems like it’s fairly innocent. I mostly think that all SI is doing here is saying “Other sports outlets do ‘wacky’ and ‘fun’ topics that don’t take sports so seriously. We should do that sometimes too.”

The problem is that the laziest people like to take the idea of light/good and dark/evil and make it into a race thing. It’s usually a coincidence more than anything else, and it all started way back in the day based on the fundamental belief that light represented hope and safety, while dark represented night and…

I hate jingoistic American bullshit (I am American) so I don’t have a problem with him saying all this.  Doesn’t mean he’s right though, and just because he doesn’t make those kinds of films doesn’t mean that there isn’t a lot of killing and other fucked up shit happening in Japanese media.  It’s all just very…

I don’t disagree that the whole thing is fascinating but as you said the pricing structure will be key.  The fee plus $60 a game (no reason to believe this will change) could easily be more than what people now spend on consoles.

I don’t know if this is the time for an idea like this, but it is indeed the future. Once the majority of internet users can stream reliably, hardware is dead, and I can’t say I’ll disagree with that. I can see if someone thinks this is 10 years too early, but it’s going to happen sooner or later.

I play retro games and have a sizable but modest collection compared to the most hardcore of enthusiasts. I did not know this. I don’t have a nostalgic attachment to Nintendo though. Oh well.

In theory yes, but did you happen to pay $60 for Tennis Aces or Mario Party?  

This somewhat implies that they EA actually cares if the game isn’t perfect and 100% ready to launch. Destiny sold a ton, so the suits said “make us a Destiny and release it while the trend is definitely still in”. That’s all this is.

Same.  I thought it was an average game that gets propped up because of the Bioshock name and the “deep” ending.

But we still act surprised for some reason. I thought Watch Dogs had to the straw that broke the camel’s back. That came came out almost 4 years ago, and we still go through this every......single......time.  

Yes let’s discuss what “real gaming” is.  Seems like a healthy topic to debate.

25% off a Nintendo game is like 50% off any other game!

I’ve defended Microsoft a lot of times for sure, but the exclusive thing has been beyond any defense whatsoever for a couple of years. When people mention Halo and Gears I almost think they’re just being kind to Microsoft. Halo hasn’t been anything special for a couple of games now, and Gears is a solid franchise but…

Just bring back SENTUAMESSAGE

In my opinion, the key to online dating is putting your best self forward while being supremely honest. I think a lot of people come off as unimpressive in their online dating profiles because they’re afraid of someone not liking what they see. The truth is that you were never going to make connections with those…

Love Suda’s quirks, but anyone watching the evolution of this game with honesty had to have known this wouldn’t quite shape up. When Suda took the stage right before the Switch was announced, he didn’t even have a concept of what the game would be. When trailers/gameplay were available, the gameplay looked like an…

Right there with you. The bloated.....well, everything......in that game just mystifies me. Glad people had fun with it, but it almost ruined my love for the first game.
