Haha, well done Microsoft. A 500 gig drive, with full Blu-Ray installs of 30-60 gigs, will hold somewhere between 8-16 games. So much for doing away with discs; I'd need some serious fucking trust in their cloud to drop $60 on games I won't be able to retain locally in any format.

Don't turn it down if you're short on time - I only have a dozen or so hours to game each week, and Skyrim was still worth it. Took me 90 hours (and about two months) to just do the major chains, not even touching anything that wasn't linked to the main quest/guilds/daedric princes.

Anybody want to take a wild guess at dimensions of the unit based on the controller (assuming it's roughly the same size at the 360's)? It looks like it's at least 28" wide. That's the length of my two-year old kid, ffs. Holy behemoth.

Why does that Skyrim Legendary Edition pic say 07/06/13? Is that the EU release date (in DD/MM/YY)? Because some frantic Googling shows a June 4 release date everywhere I can find.

Thought it had gotten delayed. Don't fucking scare me like that. Whew.

PC!

Well done, sir. I doff my cap at thee.

Actually, that was a great post that pretty cleanly lays out a possible reason for this trend that makes perfect sense.

I feel like I need to say that as a hetero cis male of relatively traditional preferences, I find Jes absolutely gorgeous. I don't want to leap too far into objectification, but I feel like this is relevant, because guys like me are supposed to be the target of male-gazey advertising, and I find myself pretty bored…

Damn skippy, I'm 32 and he looks younger than me in that "cleaned up" shot.

Don't misunderstand for a moment, "bloated" in this case is absolutely a euphemism for "fat." Homeboy is getting straight-up fat shamed, make no mistake.

Yeah, fuck that picture. Not a soul with a BMI north of skeletal is going to be attractive in a looking-down shot from below the chin. So he's put on five or ten pounds, jesus-who-christing-cares?

Wow. You really are a die-hard! No judgment, any entertainment staple of baby boomer childhood swinging out way left is a thumbs-up from me.

As much as I enjoy Corn Nuts, is there anyone who can eat those damn things and not feel ill? Corn is already hard to digest, so on the digestive effort scale those things are in the notch between "several small sticks" and "bag of rocks."

The ODB lyrics out of nowhere caused there to be Dr Pepper all over my screen.

Agreed, I went on a Hadfield spree one day and spent something like four hours watching everything I could find with him.

Ladies and gentlemen, Jesus to the motherfunkin' Christ.

Okay, so now I'm confused; Archie comics include throwback comics mixed in with the new ones? I just remember specifically seeing a cell phone, a soda jerk, a PC, and a drive in movie all within a fifteen second page flip.

Apologies if I have offended an Archie Comics die-hard! (alternate universe Chandler? Is that…

In one made-up onomatopoeic word, eeeeeyup.

This is what everyone actually means when they say that Nintendo is going to fail and go third party; they're hoping that will happen so we don't have to buy their goddamn console every generation to play 8-10 great first-party games. But we will.

This is a fair point, but with most games costing $1-3 it's not a big deal. Steam works similarly, but thanks to Steam sales few gamers actually end up spending full price on any but the most anticipated games.

In the case of consoles, cutting off used/traded games completely is a move that would definitely alienate a…
