A lot of it revolved around pornography, and enough major players were married with children that it's pretty safe to assume.

Hey, buddy. :glomp:



Sony's Twitter atm is being hassled on almost every post by people complaining that they should change the games given with PS Plus for May because they're Farming Simulator and Cities Skylines. Gamers that literally can't contemplate trying a game that doesn't involve shooting people.

For The Last of Us? It's going to disappoint you and go "thats what people are mad about?" And the answer is yes

Joel gets killed an hour into the game by the daughter of the doctor he killed, who's name is Abby. Ellie goes on a revenge quest to kill Abby and when you finally meet up the game switches to letting you play Abby for the back half of the game before the final chapter.

The whole thing didnt really work for me, in that rather than getting virulently angry I think the devs wanted you to feel sympathy for Abby so they let you walk in her shoes for basically half of what's actually a pretty lengthy game. But i didn't really find her compelling and a lot of what happens feels like its done for misery or shock value. If it worked for people thats cool tho.

To be fair, when I heard the news I was working and Twitter was already working for me when I checked, so it's all secondhand information. If it did 404 Twitter a bit I'd imagine it was only for a short time as the servers overloaded.

The Smash fandom completely baffles me. How do people get so worked up over a button-masher whose only standout characteristics were (a) cool powerups and (b) playing your favorite licensed Nintendo property.

The whole franchise is just a goofier version of Marvel Vs. Capcom by now. What does it matter whose sprite is on the next character?

adults who are hardcore Nintendo fans do not tend to be very stable people, in my experience.

like, i get a lot of poo poo whenever i point out that Nintendo has more or less gone out of their way to cultivate a horrible fandom, but i think you really just need to look at how Smash players behave vs. how Tekken or Street Fighter people behave to see a case in point; even as hosed up as the broader FGC is, you don't see any of the absolutely goddamn buckwild poo poo that Smash players do, and non-Smash events don't tend to need stank bouncers except when specific, well-known players show up (Marn)

A pizza shop on campus has/had weekly smash tournaments. My much older, not especially social brother called me up and said "do you want to check this out?" I'm not sure how he heard about it. I said "You don't want to check it out, but if you insist" and he did insist. So we get there, he hops down to the basement where the tournament is while I say hi to my friends on the staff. A couple minutes later he comes back and says "you were totally right" and we leave.
