I thought his mug was familiar.

The original face of Max Payne says things, and....I’m sorry, but I just can’t unsee his mug as the guns-akimbo, time-slowing excop with nothing to lose. “You are in a computer game, Max.”

This is indeed awesome, but from the headline I thought he was going to be playing the organ live with the Game Boy and I just wasn’t sure how that was going to work out. Composing a MIDI song on the Game Boy and then playing it through the organ makes a lot more sense.

Average game file size for CoD is around 175 GB. So for a 2 TB drive, you’re looking at 11.5 CoD’s storage capacity. 

So in terms of storage, how many Call of Duty’s can fit on one of these things? 

i imagine it crushes the human inside as it transforms

“Sure I’m worth billions but I’m not getting a paycheck, so when you suffer, know that I’m right there with you, eating off-brand caviar, drinking Johnny Walker Green instead of Blue, and suffering other privations.”

It amuses me more than it probably should that Bullbusters is made by Nut.

I was so disappointed that Worlds never made it to release.

Nooooo it’s just genuinely terrible voicework. Even by Mortal Kombat standards. In the campaign it stood out to me for all the wrong reasons, like she just read them off the page at rehearsal and that ended up being the final cut.

It basically requires public company insiders (and everyone named in this article would be…

Setting teams aside, from a purely narrative standpoint, Iris is my favorite, especially in the anime. All of Ash’s companions have lofty goals which mostly seem perfunctory, but Iris was the first who actually went out there and accomplished hers. Seeing one of Ash’s gang come back as a league champion was great, and…

The correct ranking:

Geeta is such a terrible trainer

You keep hearing all game about how she’s the greatest thing in the world. Only to be sweeped by a Skeledirge in less that 2 minutes

Why would they?

You can see how detrimental the cultural focus on “wealth” has become for the Western world. Anything to make a buck! To get rich! Which includes selling all of your IP and property to Chinese and Saudi Arabian establishments. Same reason US countries unnecessarily outsource engineering jobs to India: to save a few…

This includes Jagex/Runescape FYI.

My Bad, that’s another VC firm doing the same this week - The Carlyle Group

*Microsoft and Sony looking at Gearbox for a new exclusive IP*

This. And my additional (also cynical) take is that, by completely removing it from sale, he also gives it a sort of immortality. Like now it’s going to be this mythical “unavailable” game which will automatically increase its cultural cache even more.
