Unrelated to the article, but anyone notice that Bethesda games still initiate conversations by zooming in, placing the npc dead center in the screen and having them stare straight into the camera?   Its really unnatural.

Im very fond of “I love Lisa”, the Valentines/Presidents day episode where Ralph falls for Lisa.

Only having seen this game, my impressions were that Reese’s celebration was pretty excessive. She pretty much taunted Clark for the last 13 seconds of the regulation with the ring finger and the face gesture and continued after time had expired. That IMHO is bad sportsmanship and is much different than a 1-off…

The problem is lack of content. No one wants to shell out money for a platform that wont have any games in the future. This was the same problem with the original PSVR. It was a niche market, so it did not receive development money, so the market never got any bigger. How does one solve this problem? Id say the best…

I played it after 1.05 on PS5 with side quests interspersed with the main quest and enjoyed it quite a bit. When I was on a quest on a certain part of the map, I’d make it a point to clear that part of the map. Sure there were some quests that were better than others and sure sometimes they were in the main quest. But…

Dead or Alive 2 was, like Soulcalibur, a coming out party for the franchise.

Definitely worth the $5 . Ive only played on the PS5 so I didn’t go through all of the launch pain, so take my experience with a grain of salt. My opinion though is that its a pretty fun game. Not the second-coming every fan had imagined it might be, but a fun enough game with a huge world that Im actually enjoying…

I think I’d prefer a 6-10 hour experience that isnt repetitive or overstay its welcome, but cost closer t0 $20. I played Miles Morales and Uncharted Lost Legacy recently and they really hit the sweet spot for me. Nice, focused experiences with great stories that were enjoyable and not very expensive. Hell, Miles…

I picked it up for $9.99, and played it on the PS5 and was pleasantly surprised by how good it actually was in its (Oct 2021 ) state. No, it wasn’t the game changer that people had expected, but it is a decent game. I was enjoying getting immersed in the world when I decided that I liked it enough to pause playing to…

Beware of these.  Picked one up a few weeks ago and it was a knockoff microsd programmed to look like it had 128gb but really was much smaller.

Its not necessarily a lie, but I think it unfairly conflates and reduces the fourth of July to a day about racism. It implies that all of us white people are sitting around thinking racist thoughts on this day. I don’t think that’s fair or productive. Im not very outwardly patriotic, but I do believe in the ideas that…

Man decides beauty is more than skin deep. Jezebel goes on the warpath. What a crazy world we live in.

As a proud Italian American I’m disturbed by the yellow washing in this video :P

Cool to know that you can, but unless youre in a zombie apocalypse why would you? Just use the kettle (electronic for precise temp, or normal) and the “pharoah chess”, with the correct grind size, and repeat for each cup to pour. If you dial the grind and temp right it will come out better than any sous vide coffee…

Bill Maher regularly has guests and panels that he does not agree with. Its part of what I respect about his show. He’s allowing for differing viewpoints to enter in a debate, finding common ground, and in appropriate cases he admits when they’re right.

Am I the only one that thinks that bigger multiplayer maps are worse? Gears 1 had the perfect size multiplayer maps. I thought 2's maps were not as intimate. Havent played 4, but hearing that its maps are large is kind of a turn off for me. This extends to other games too. Powerstone was one I remember having the…

There are certainly parallels between open world gaming and Westworld, but isn’t the show based upon a 1973 Michael Crichton book? Id be interested to know which of the parallels were prophetic in 1973 and which were added by the show runners as they were inspired by the current state of gaming.

I get why Wario’s name is Wario. The M in Mario’s name is simply turned upside down. I don't get why the name is Waluigi. It's just dumb.

I dont know why there is so much support for Bosa. I think this press release was a response to all of the negative press the Chargers have been getting during this fiasco. Seems like a pretty fair deal to me. Remember all salaries are set anyway. Bosa is just being greedy and wanting all of his money up front. Maybe…

If you’re going to invest in one of the C’s - make it Cut. If you get an ideal cut, it will hide a lot of imperfections from color and clarity. Also if you’re going to skimp on a few things color and clarity have some options that are less expensive, but not visible to the naked eye. Keeping that in mind - get ideal…
