There’s, actually, a weird question with Twitch. Can an official governmental apparatus stream on Twitch? Because, having an unmoderated stream is a ToS violation.

That must make for awkward social gatherings, as one half of your family chases the other up a tree. :P

Yeah, they need to respect the first amendment. This isn’t a stream from some random kid who wants to make it big on Twitch. He’s there as a representative of the United States Army. One of the most powerful military forces in the world. He is a spokesman for it’s position. Because of the American Constitution, he is…

Vietnam was a two pronged situation. First we stepped in to help prop up the French Colonial government, after the French decided to GTFO. Second, it was built off an absolutely bonkers political theory called The Domino Theory. The major reason the US got involved in Vietnam was because policy makers honestly…

Remember how, last year, they were like, “this armor will be useful even after Armor 2.0 hits. We’ll give you new 2.0 versions...” and then those versions had terrible rolls?

Having interacted with him a few times in the past, I deeply dislike Derek Smart as a human being. However, I must concede, when it comes to his all consuming hatred for Chris Roberts, the man knows his stuff.

Don’t forget the part where Roberts took Microsoft’s money to make Freelancer, and used it to finance the Wing Commander film.

A few minor, but somewhat important details.

That is, actually, worse. Because it meant they paid others to create assets they had no intention of even using to sell their game.

No. Not even remotely. Spend any time on the forums, the sub reddit, or produce any content for it, and the Cult of Roberts will swarm out and attack you for being a sock puppet for Derek Smart.

While you’re probably correct that no developer goes in with the idea that they’re creating a project that will balloon out of control, the fact remains that Chris Roberts has a history of doing exactly that. This is not the first time he’s started up creating a game that will be everything to everyone, and then just…

I think we can safely lay this at the feet of Chris Roberts, rather than CIG as a whole.

Reverse importing is when a consumer imports your product from another market you exported to, instead of buying domestically.

He left during preproduction for Pillars 2, long before Outer Worlds.

Tyranny was the first game released after he departed, and the last game of theirs that he had direct influence on. He’s credited for creating Tyranny’s setting, and being the, “story designer.” I’m not sure if that means he wrote the main quest, or if he just plotted it out, and others scripted it. The other writers…

It does make a certain kind of sense, when held against his, “sudden departure,” a couple years ago.

They did, however, completely trash the Campaign’s voter research data. All of those “highly motivated voters,” aren’t. If the database was set up to permit rollbacks, they’ll lose the data they would have gained. If it wasn’t, they now have a much more limited grasp of who will vote for Trump, as they throw money at…

Yeah, one of the biggest problems with WD2 (and to an extent the first game) was how easily you could go loud and get away with it. The story gets really jarring when Marcus is blasting his way through his problems. That said, as a stealth game, it is absolutely worth playing.

Watch Dogs 2 is remarkably good in comparison to the previous game. Granted, that could be damning with faint praise. It has issues, but on the whole worth playing.

Only God and meth.
