I’d be more excited if I Kurt Russel had a cameo.

I imagined Mae’s father went “Putangina!!!!!!” during that Oculus session.

Also, the easiest example that could have been given as to what makes spectating gamers entertaining is just to have Kimmel read comments on Conan’s game segments.

He’s terrible at gaming but people want to see what he was like experiencing a…

If you stay long enough, you just might encounter the enchanted moment when the game just “clicks”.

It’s a moment when you figure out something about a hero, item or game mechanic and realize that “Oh my God! This is incredible! I want to destroy someone with this! How could be my enemies be so stupid as not to be…

Dota 2’s rules and playstyle are not what I consider it’s very “core” difference between other MOBABOBAS.

You know what’s in the very core of Dota 2; something that no other lane pushing game has bothere to do? The game characters and elements are all free and there are no persistent advantages carried over from game…

Don’t worry guys. Hideo had it covered a long time ago.

Every time he went to work, he looks around the office, smiles, and tells himself:

“A Hideo Kojima game.”

I like how Valve approach things and decentralize credit for the work of their company. Their end credits even go on alphabetical order without job titles.

You can’t change Jimmy Kimmel by being angry.

Some non-gamers just have a better ability to appreciate gaming culture more than others. He’s not one of them. And just happens to be a comedian.

His only flaw (making fun of gaming is not a flaw) is being ignorant of how game spectating matters. It matters in the same way…

I wish Kojima was given the chance to make a real movie so that people can see how terrible a storyteller and he actually is. His stories are overacting, corny and self-indulgent. His characters are derivative and juvenile.

What he is however is a good game designer. I just wish he appreciated those strengths and…

Go ahead. Tell us what Oculus has innovated on. What is this thing that no other HMD can ever do. Those hand thingies are just analogue triggers and thumbsticks with sensors. They did not invent anything there. And we don’t even know if it will be better than whatever will come out.

By saying it will be on top with…

Lighthouse tracks from the devices locally. That means that it is computationally cheap and does not give any additional work to the computer. The lighthouse emits light. The sensors on the headset and whatever peripheral does the computation on dumb sensors. There are also 2 tracking angles as standard (no buying of…

It’s never necessary. That’s closed garden type of thinking for media ecosystems. You know what system types brought us? Microsoft trying to kill PC gaming in favor of their XBox.

That’s a bit dramatic to say that those controllers change everything. They don’t change everything. They make things proprietary.



You know what that means? That means that it’s the console game system all over again. Some games will not be fully converted to run on another VR system. Exactly the way Facebook would run…

Oh please. America is a continent of immigrants.

Actually, that group does exist.

I started the Steam group Planet Half-Life as part of the IGN/Gamespy’s Planet Half-Life staff. Planet Half-Life was a big deal back then and it was the go-to resource when it comes to anything Valve and Half-Life. Its community forums were the battlegrounds of so many heated debates as well as the most interesting…

How much different is this guy from his spiritual successor Invoker? What I know about Invoker is that you have to be like a damn keyboard pianist to be able to invoke his 10 abilities on a moment’s notice.

Prior to going to the objective, the red team just killed the enemy team’s MVP, Sumail who is playing the character Storm Spirit. What they did not consider is the tragedy that awaits them as the support heroes Earthshaker and Ancient Apparition have the power to wipe them out while they’re in close proximity of each…

What I mean is that Valve only deals with the players themselves. They are hands off with whatever deals the players have with sponsors, their company and their team.

It’s understood that the sponsors take something.

It’s all relative. In Pakistan standards, Sumail would be considered financially better off since his father managed to get the whole family to live in the United States. Only a few Pakistanis could do that.

You guys need to watch Free to Play and see what Fear went through.
