Fuck Putin and his GOP allies here at home. They can all rot.

Nintendo has actually historically been pretty good in terms of physical game preservation.If you owned Nintendo hardware and a physical cartridge/disc, you would rarely have any problems.

Maybe because being politely outraged didn’t fucking do anything and the world is being literally ruined for every creature but, possibly, ourselves? We’re going to literally drown millions, if not billions of people or at least their former habitats, because we were politely objecting to bad policies in the 20th…

“Obviously what I did is wrong,” JiDion said, “but how am I supposed to do better the next time if I can never get a next time?”

None of that power on screen came for free, none of it.

Blizzard thinks these changes will clean up their image, but it’s the whole damn company that needs to be fixed. It has nothing to do with sexual references in WoW.

Yeah, that’s how you get out of this mess, capitulate to the right. Blizzard is a bunch of idiots. They’re under fire because of the culture inside the studio, not because of tongue in cheek jokes. Ultimately it’s not a big deal by itself, but it’s snowballing quickly.

What this is, is a way to lower their overall risk and cost of keeping the PS3/Vita versions of the stores open.

So long as they’re transacting money there, there have to be additional controls, oversight, regular audits and lots of other things. But if they’re just transacting made-up “Sony Bucks” then it’s a much…

(tl;dr at the end) MGS3 was pretty amazing too. You’re entitled to your opinion but (and I know the Citizen Kane reference is played out) this is sort of tantamount to saying ‘I saw Citizen Kane, movie wasn’t even that good!’ The innovation, vision and sort of comprehensive experience of the games he’s made have had…
