Key word there is “their” subscription model. The idea of a subscription model for classic games (and — brace yourself: modern games, are you listening Nintendo?!?) would be totally fine; I’d shill out decent change a month to play Nintendo first-party games like Skyward Sword, Kirby and the Forgotten Lands, Origami…

I think Parks & Rec actually used it to great effect!

He obstructed a federal investigation. 20 years seems about right. My guess is the sentence would’ve been much less if he hadn’t done that.

Yeah but luckily the horny giggly Great Fairy moments in the game only ever happened the moment my wife walked into the room to see what I was doing in the game. Hope they brought back that feature for the sequel, can’t wait to get more awkward side eye!

My first car was a 1988 Buick Electra Park Avenue (before it became its own line, I guess?). I still miss that car; age 16 me didn’t realize how good I had it, with the bench seats, all-leather, and that solid V6. Think my mom had me “trade-up” to a ‘98 Cherokee because of the lack of airbags, though. 

Musk: Here you go! The keys to the castle!

No way; there was the oversexualization of female characters throughout gaming’s history, and definitely plenty of lewd games (and mods to make them even lewder) but since gaming was so male-oriented it was only limited to the one sex. Now, with gaming being such a more diverse audience, and the accessibility to games…

I’ve rewatched The Leftovers a couple times, I’d probably rewatch Watchmen if someone wanted to, and the only reason I haven’t rewatched Lost is because it’s too damn long. If you’re referring to Damon Lindelof (or that’s just a hilariously coincidental typo haha).

Gamer culture seems to be getting increasingly horny, which is fine, if not somewhat exhausting. I dug the Mass Effect romances until they showed the sex, and then immediately wished I’d just spent more time at my favorite store on the Citadel.

There’s a huge market for pop-punk right now but, ironically, Sum 41 hasn’t been purely “pop punk” in well over a decade. They can still shred though. I’ll have to catch the farewell tour!

Interestingly here in LA, they interviewed members of one of these encampments (also in a wealthy area) and asked if they would consider themselves “unhoused” and many said no. I’m sure many would prefer to live in local housing, but there are also many who likely don’t want to give up the “lifestyle” (i.e. having a…

Their point is useless. Every candidate running in CA in this past election ran on a platform of addressing homelessness. It was the number one issue among voters. People chose who they thought would perform the best. The fact it’s not fixed yet has nothing to do with political will; it’s that it’s a multi-faceted…

Shipping jobs overseas to avoid having to pay Americans a living wage? Sounds about right.

Using the shotgun for the first time was akin to using the double-barreled shotgun in Doom 2 for the first time: just those transformative FPS gameplay moments that stick with ya.

Barry’s deadpan “that guy’s here to kill me” was so good.

“I have an interest in the media’s ability to transform villains into heroes via selective reporting.”

Honestly, it’s a result of the culture that’s been fomented on this very site, with the constant articles on Elon Musk and how everything he touches turns to shit. I fucking hate the guy, and wish he’d be removed from anything SpaceX so they can continue to do great work without the bad perception, but still -- it’s…

They said the same thing over on Gizmodo so I think they’re just in a cranky mood looking to pick a fight. 

Sounds like something GlaDOS would say in Portal.
