I’m guessing you missed Peter Dinklage’s riveting performance as Ghost in the original Destiny?

I’m not. Should I be?

Agreed that getting over the initial hype is the toughest part, and it can save you a lot of money. I’ll also add that you can bookmark a bunch of podcasts or articles about an interesting game’s release to give yourself a feeling of being back in the release hype later when you get around to playing it (at a…

The Xbox Game Pass is seeming like a better and better deal all the time. There are already enough games on there (and in my backlog) that I’d like to play to justify subscribing for a couple of months, and with the promise of more day one first-party exclusives coming... I’m interested to see what comes of it in the…

Since you’re having trouble reading between the lines, here it is in TL;DR form:

Unless it’s codified in the league rules (it’s not), she is under no obligation to reveal personal details to the fans masses of whiny man babies. The only identity verification she’s obligated to is for Second Wind and Blizzard management. She doesn’t owe you or me shit, and the fact that some people think doxxing…

Guess it’s just another one of those days that I’m embarrassed of the culture surrounding my primary hobby. What is wrong with people?

Usually it’s either:

100% what I was thinking when I was reading this. It’s great that the devs put out a wanted feature, but the whole thing comes across as pandering to a bunch of entitled manbabies. If they’re going to far as to harass developers about a damn cosmetic suit in a video game, I say fuck ‘em, don’t release it.

wtf spoilers

Celeste is amazing. Don’t pass this one up!

Agreed on all points. I’ll eventually settle in to a handful of characters I always play with my competitive friends, but right when a Smash comes out, it’s fun to bounce around and try all of the characters like an all-you-can-eat buffet. The unlock system encourages that, though like Ethan said, I wish they’d bump…

Red Dead Redemption 2 (the single player game) is, by most accounts, worth the $60 price tag. Red Dead Redemption 2 Online is a continuously developed, free to play addon for purchasers of Red Dead Redemption 2, funded by premium currency purchases. Tell me, what game studio continues to develop an massively…

The reviews have certainly been ghoulish.

Why not? Would you rather someone who wants to buy $100 worth of currency buy 10 $10 packs?

But hey, if you have a Roku, now you can be color coordinated :)

What is offensive about this? A premium currency in an online-only add-on for a game is not particularly shocking. There aren’t any loot boxes (at least, from what I glean in the article). Or is this just general “Durn kids makin’ me spend more money on their game” grumpiness?

The noise drives me bonkers.

It could, but it would require a bigger change than I’m willing to hope for. They’d have to do something like favor hosts that had good latency with most other players and ditch the lock-step networking model. You could get rid of the slideshow effect where you’re playing the game a frame at a time, but you’d have a…

Getting a real Geralt vibe from that close up shot of his face (the one with his green eye closed).
