Also, with digital marketplace sales and things like that, I would assume that by now the majority of sales for games take place under MSRP. At the same time though, I’m not going to shed a tear for AAA developers. You don’t need to spend crazy amounts of money to make a perfect looking game that sells, just innovate…

I’ll tell you what my suggestion is: Microsoft and Sony work to make consoles that are significantly more useful / powerful / niche-appropriate than each others’ or work on building up their first-party IP. I don’t have a Switch and I don’t particularly want one but I can understand why people buy them: Nintendo has…

Logically it probably only really matters for households that own both a PS4 and an Xbox. Which I’m sure isn’t exactly a low number but it’s also not near a majority of households with a gaming console in them, I would think.

Your daily reminder that Democratic leadership rushed to say that they would not vote to impeach Trump. They did this at the first opportunity that presented itself, despite his obviously impeachable conduct since day 1 of taking office.

She’s not going to put up with Roseanne Barr’s dumb shit for one more minute, not after the previous 90,000 minutes of putting up with it.

It worked in the PS2-era games because the games, while ridiculously fun and deep for games, didn’t really have deep social commentary or stories. It also worked in 4 because everything was tinged with disgust and extravagance, which fit with our protagonist’s world view. But in 5, none of the protagonists really fit…

There are going to be plenty of people loudly hating on Wolf for saying anything negative about 45, because one negative word about him triggers those folks to no end. But I do definitely think the Habermans and Brezinkis of the world will lose out. No one in the mainstream media seems to have learned that kowtowing…

I don’t have personal knowledge of what the people who make and write The Simpsons these days do with their lives but I’m willing to bet that they live in a very closed atmosphere of coastal comedy / animation folk who kiss their ass every single day of their lives for being a part of The Simpsons, The Comedy…

She knows there’s no reason for her to fold when it comes to Trump. She was literally his first call after the election was predicted in his favor. She gets to have all the access she wants and get all the headlines she wants while Trump gets to drag the media through the mud. Neither care that they’re contributing to…

Nurse identified! Just kidding, just kidding

Not to be a cynic about this but writing and calling your congressmen in this state does absolutely nothing. My wife wrote to Bob Corker — nationally known as a moderate nice guy — about the healthcare bill and he / his staff responded to her that she had been brainwashed by liberal teachers at UT. We’re going to be…

Not to mention the fact that the cops were called on him when he was apparently had a gun to his head. He also has one of the lowest collected time spent in his own district. The dude’s an embarassment.

“There has got to be a way to reach these white women.”

Education. Education, education, education. Republicans lie their asses off when it comes to abortion. Ask abortion supporters what happens when an abortion is performed and you’ll hear all about screaming fetuses being stabbed in the head with penknives. If you…

Yeah, no big deal, just a grown-ass man jerking off to videos of naked children.

Ayup.

Tommyknockers is the one where the little kid magician loses his little brother during a magic show, right? Yeah, I can definitely see the “repurprosed short stories” thing now.

“Valve’s pitch to us consisted of their representative playing a clip of a heart monitor flatlining, then standing there in complete silence for twenty minutes before saying ‘that man was a painter, but didn’t know it because he never bought a paintbrush.’”

I remember reading about NXIVM about a year ago before Allison Mack’s involvement was making the rounds on the Gizmodo sites and the guy in charge was apparently the type of cult leader who would force members to turn over personal information that could serve as blackmail. So yeah, that definitely provides an…

Scalia discarded his entire textualist philosophy on jurisprudence to claim that that. It really shows just how much of a snake he was.

If someone tells you the violence in modern Far Cry games is meaningless and inconsequential, they didn’t understand the game they were playing. In 3, 4 and 5 (the only ones I’ve played and thus the only ones I’m going to offer an opinion on) the violence is extremely meaningful. 3 was a game-long discussion of how…
