If you can’t say the most absolutely horrible trash for no reason then what can you say?

As a musician I say this every day about “The Trooper” by Iron Maiden.

That you have any hope of engaging in reasonable discourse on the PS Blog betrays your inveterate optimism. Don’t let them change you.

Agreed. The Imperials had become Romans by this point (even the armor has been changed to look more Roman). They are occupiers in Skyrim and they’re determined to keep the races of Skyrim from having any kind of self determination.

Correction: more accurate to say “you don’t try to find Lokir’s family or tell anyone.” Nobody in Rorikstead mentions Lokir.

The dude dies and then you meet his wife and never bother to tell her. Scumbag Dragonborn.

The intro to Skyrim is so terrible and Skyrim is not by any means well-represented by it. Not even going into the plot disparities in the execution sequence, the intro begins by tying the player’s hands (literally and figuratively), and dumping a pile of exposition on them. There is no context to understand this…

I saw this. you owe Luke 1,000 Internet cookies.

Scientists who leave their every waking thought in their journals, and in their e-mails, and in their voice-logs (who has ever recorded a voice log for posterity?) I’m not sure how all this lore could be better presented, but I am certainly not sifting through every last piece; I’m skimming and then going straight for…

You’re the kind of person who winds up as a scientist in the Fallout universe.

GTA Online was something I always dreamed of. When it came to fruition, I couldn’t wrangle any friends together to play it and playing with strangers was mostly annoying. Combine that with the constant grinding and it became an experience that, for me, never felt like Grand Theft Auto Online would be in my head.

I don’t like the TV analogy because there’s a long history in Hollywood of creative unions like the WGA who look out for the bargaining rights of creators. Content creators on YouTube aren’t in the employ of YouTube and they don’t really have any rights in that regard. Yes, YouTube makes concessions - they’re not a…

But whether it’s censorship or not, YouTube has nearly all of the power in this equation, meaning bargaining about it is less than “fair.”

I think quibbling over the definition of censorship is beside the point. We continually allow corporations to do pretty much whatever they wish on the internet because they own the sites. It speaks to how we believe the internet belongs in private hands. Part of the problem here is that there is a HUGE power…

These are complex issues and I think that piracy does hurt creators and consumers, but so do horrible practices by publishers like development crunch-time, exclusivity deals, endless monetization and shovelware. But every time big developers drive the story, we’re told to look at pirates killing the industry, because…

I don’t think that video games are necessarily more of a commodity than any other art-form under capitalism. I think the major issue with big-budget games is that the barrier to entry is so incredibly high. Major publisher games cost $60 (not including the inevitable DLC), and any system to run them is usually at…

Yes but how?

Thankfully I was able to nab the perfect gamertag of “IAmFilledWithSpiderEggs” before these gamertags got freed up.

Such an original and funny joke. Great job coming up with that one. Really top-notch stuff.

I’m going to come to the defense of Citizen Kane. It is absolutely worth seeing if you have the chance. Like Revolver, like Watchmen, like Heart of Darkness, you should try to just take it in without preconceived notions of how “great” it is. I don’t think it is at all a difficult film and it does the movie a real…
