Remembering the JP version of Fighting Vipers and seeing how Pepsiman ‘saves’ your character from certain defeat.

Kotaku has a bit of a history of not sourcing real creators for many things in entertainment so I am not surprised hopefully it gets corrected

I moved past that ages ago, and many of my friends did as well.

“AI Dr. Mario can now see you for your prostate exam.”

I think it’s telling how seriously the “awards show” aspect is taken when you’ve got plenty of celebrity appearances hocking their upcoming projects/products for minutes at a time, while the folks winning the awards are quickly ushered off stage.

That’s not to say celebrities don’t belong on the Game Awards stage; just…

tbh I’m not convinced a few of the latest class of kotaku writer are even real.

Every time I hear about a Twitch streamer it’s because they’re a piece of shit. Stop giving them free publicity by writing about them.

Miles is, however, zero percent colonizer. Unlike Peter.

“If we continue to coalesce around the four or five genres, then we won’t get the new players because those people have already said we’re not interested in your genres,” Layden said. “Don’t kid yourself that someone who’s said ‘no’ to Call of Duty for the last 15 years is going to start suddenly saying ‘yes’ to Call…

My son probably has a bunch of em. Making trades with his bulk extras at school to collect fake cards....on purpose....  HE KNOWS THEYRE FAKE.,

Lighting candles and doing a weird ceremony I just made up to will Phil Spencer into reviving THPS 3+4 Remake after Activision canceled it and sent the development studio into the Diablo 4 polishing mines.

It still feels like Peak Activision when the company posted a strong end of the year financially in 2020 in part, explicitly laid out in their quarterly report, because of the success of THPS 1+2 and Crash 4, and their conclusion was not “Hey, maybe Vicarious Visions and Beenox can remake a couple more Hawks” or “Hey…

In the States, scalping is the correct term used for what is happening here, a form of arbitrage  that occurs when supply is limited and demand is high. While scalping is most commonly used in stocks or tickets, it does also apply to goods.

Not too terribly long ago, the hobby collectors and the resellers were the same…

“microsoft is one of the most consumer/union friendly companies”

Of course the youtubers who get early access to the set and given 1000 packs are going to be dishonestly hyperbolic about how good the set is.

Both of these are easy to make work with the Switch. You just put a digital representation of the DAS on the screen and the player lines them up the stuff for the puzzles on the pretend screens, then press A to "fold" or "close" the device. Same thing as you did in real life, just in the game.

No, thank you.
