GM always strikes me as a company that is secretly run by the same people that make Hot Wheels. And that this self driving car is not a cartoon of a self driving car is incredibly bewildering. I mean, the Bolt, the Corvette, and Canyon all look like and have the names a 12 year old boy pretending at being a car…

I’m sure some will find it unpopular, but I don’t even understand how we even debate this. It’s not like the ethical dilemma of stealing bread or starve. With all due affection for them, they are just video games. There is no moral imperative to have them. They aren’t healthcare; they aren’t a job; they aren’t bodily…

Don’t know how serious folks are about this, but as someone at a financial institution I know our marketing is subject to review by the CFPB under UDAAP laws (unfair deceptive abusive actions and practices). Car dealers I believe are also subject to it. Go to CFPB.gov and file a complaint. It’s easy and the company…

So that the full quote is available. Jim Ryan is still not great at marketing/sales-speak for a marketing/sales guy, but definitely not saying he thinks indies are lame.

All we need to do is to whine more about the whining about videogames. Somewhere the God of Whine is extremely pleased by all of this and his long con is nearly complete.

I don’t know if people realize that neither Sony or Microsoft ccare if you besmirch their competitor and defend their honor as it were - you’re a unit of revenue generation. MS had cool stuff at their conference and Sony had cool stuff too. At the end of the day though, both systems are getting pretty much the same…

Lot’s of blow back for this game, which I guess I understand but also strikes me as odd. It was just a gameplay demo, but jumping off the wall and then jet packing through overgrown ruins, seamless co-op, cinematic story-telling, and gorgeous graphics - it looked fun to me.

I dip in for Horde every once in a while. They did a good job with the movement, weapons, etc. being recreated, and some of the new ones were really creative and satisfying (the EMBAR and Overkill come to mind). But the power collection and base building aspects are too much it seems. You spend too much time worrying…

Cyberpunk 2077 and it’s coming out end of this year. These are dreams, right? Highly implausible, bordering on nonsense dreams?

Diablo 3. Finally got into a rhythm when I started using the Witch Doctor. The spells for her are original (plague of toads, shamans, zombie bears) which made the combat interesting. Something about the isometric-like perspective just made the combat on the other classes I tried feel hollow. The story seems very…

It seems like whoever is in charge of Raid’s has a very optimistic world view and has control issues. They’re sort of like the people who put a jar of candy out front on Halloween with a sign that says just take one. Destiny 2 is like they saw that didn’t work out and now the sign has an exclamation mark and a guest…

This is, and the humor, are what set W3 apart for me. Other RPGs have tough choices but W3 always felt so tricky, in a good way. It’s been months since I finished this game but I still regret not kissing Triss in the garden under the fireworks, but I’m still happy I went with Yen . It has all the “feels” of real life.…
