Roof rail airbags are not used for the same reason as steering wheel and instrument panel mounted airbags. Roof rail airbags are used almost entirely to help with FMVSS standard 226 (ejection mitigation). They are designed to keep you and your limbs in the vehicle during the event of a crash, particularly a roll over.…

I fully support all forms of artistic expression in product design, however, I draw a line when that artistic vision interrupts functionality. I say this admitting that I have no idea what the long term consequences of having the console upside down could be, but insist firmly that the users should never have to…

Color me an asshole, but am I missing something here that everyone else seems to be picking up on?
Crunch comes down to poor planning and budget issues... which rests on the shoulders of a producer not a director or design lead. For Pete’s sake, the description of the ‘best direction’ award was shared in this article…

And they are the ones with those neat pensions too.

The U.S. is going to have a huge problem in 25-35 years. By the time that Gen X and Millennials are ready to retire, pensions and social security will be long gone, meaning our personal retirement savings will be the only source of money we have.

I was certain that heading into this next generation with super fast SSD’s that install sizes would be on par or slightly smaller than current gen games. There is a lot of redundancy of assets in current gen games to drastically reduce load times. I figured this would be a non issue this gen, but I guess 4k textures…

Not to mention that the console is upside down in this photo... I think? There are zero distinguishing features to allow users to know at a glance what side is up in horizontal mode, particularly on the digital only version. Yes, I acknowledge that there is a stand with clip-in features that force the proper…

Cool, I can use this 8K TV to watch the 4% of available 4K content out there.

I see something like this and think nothing of it. A vote for Biden isn’t a vote for someone any American is excited about, but instead a vote against the orange buffoon. 

This is the idea that I had after reading this article. Asking devs to remove anything that may be a phobia for some people is just ridiculous. Having a list of potential phobia triggers is a great middle ground.

Yes, I have a problem with the PS4 UI. Sorry to say, but it’s freaking awful. If you don’t see anything wrong with it, it’s probably because you’ve been normalized to it after years of use. For current gen UIs, Xbox is hands down better than PS4. This seems to be a drastic improvement over what we have now.

I see it ideal for when I am grinding away on a game like GTA V and a friend gets online and invites me to play a MP game. I can easily just between the two without having to suffer through loading each. 

Honestly, this is it for me too.

No need to bet, you can just outright guarantee it at this point.

Is there anything that white people won’t pretend to be offended by?

I was actually thinking the opposite...

Splitting hairs over $15 just seems silly. You either want the game or you don’t. Sure, I will be the first to back you up on any comment about how anti-consumer Nintendo is, they always have been. However, you aren’t sending any message that Nintendo will ever hear by depriving yourself of the ability to relive your…

I haven’t played Diddy Kong’s Quest since I was a teenager. Since then, I believe my gaming skills have increased and subsequently decreased again due to age. As a 35 year old, I am excited and terrified to play this game again. I still have nightmares of that level with all the bramble and the parrot.

A stigma you say?

While I personally don’t see this article as an intentional smack in Microsoft’s face, it is interesting that the images used for this article are from the Unbox Therapy video. The same one where the guy talks about how its “way smaller” then he was expecting. A large portion of the video actually emphasizes how much…

Yep, and the dummies like me will buy both the physical and digital copies... “just to be safe”.
