Then, it’s said Takada would supposedly resell the game machines, resulting in a 1.4 million yen ($12,374) loss for Square Enix.

Don’t forget The Gunslinger. Rape with a gun is definitely still rape (and also why that one dude in my book group is no longer allowed to make recommendations).

Those aren’t analogous situations. This is far more akin to the US remakes of Let The Right One In (2008)/Let Me In (2010), The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2009 vs 20011), etc. I think the best of these we got was The Ring (2002), a remake of Ring (1998).

I came to console gaming late, about 11 months ago, when I got a PS4. I love Bloodborne aesthetically and finally got to play it. Never in my life had I experienced hand pain like what happened with the PS controllers, like someone had set my thumb tendons on fire. The trade-off for a few hours of gameplay was being…

Bummer. I’ve been watching pages unfold in bits and pieces on Pérez’s Instagram and it’s just. so. beautiful. Shame when writers fail good artists, and I’m past that stage where I’ll get a physical copy of a book “just for the art.” I mean, 9 times out of 10 anyway.

Having your work put into a highly profitable game without compensation is worth exactly what you were paid: NOTHING.

clarification. These make WAY more sense

You have a gun in place of a shield, but you don’t ever “reload” it the way do in other games. After each shot, the next round is automatically in the gun. They’re almost all single-fire weapons and you can be interrupted at any point in use, just like with your main. It’s not really meant for damage, you use it to…

There’s this tweet regarding Bloodborne but I’m not actually sure what it means because you don’t ever actually “reload” a weapon. Weapon swapping, maybe?

It’s like rubbing fragrant tinted motor oil on your lips.

I could see how this would be more comfortable. I’ve been looking up options for alternatives to standard PS4 controllers because I get some intense pain if I play longer than 2 hours at a time. Maybe I need to just turn that shit around.

None of this surprises me. The real reason more places are banning photography isn’t because of light sensitivity anymore, it’s because of idiots using everything as a prop for their photo-op. I’ve watched a security guard escort a family out of a museum because they thought it was cute to take pictures of their kid…

I’m willing to bet that your choice was a game with a first-person, or at least tightly-cropped, perspective.

Gabrielle was the wooooorrrrrssssssssssssssssst.

According to Laursen, Einfeld mistakenly sent a response that was intended for two male coworkers to a group email address.

Today I had to break down a chemical at work which is flammable in contact with water. It’s a powder, so if it gets airborn it can actually explode. Chemistry is amazing. And betimes incredibly destructive. There’s tons of chemical families that you have to store away from Otherwise Innocuous Thing X because they’ll…

Tch. To think, I have friends who whine about having to call the gas company before they start digging.

Exceedingly minor if his family managed to avoid becoming bridge decorations.

It rides forth with four horsepersons across the land, and in its wake spring gender-inclusive public toilet facilities, craft breweries, feminist bookstores, and abortion clinics. You shall know it by its full sleeve tattoos, gender-non-conforming clothing, and Warby-Parker glasses. Trusteth not the Rachel Maddow…
