Ahh Metal Gear Solid. I love that series. Never change Kojima, you crazy diamond.
Ubisofts leadership really needs to step in and do something about this mess. Every time somebody opens their mouth about Unity, the hole they are digging just keeps getting deeper. Slowly filling up with bullshit.

They've (Ubisoft) a shitty PR department. Having the position that adding women to AC Unity will double the work, but also having ride-able elephants in Far Cry 4 that can be used to rampage and stamped enemy strongholds is quite the contradiction if you ask me.

Well, not really. But it's a stupid argument.

The thing is, it wouldn't double the work. It would increase it, but they are imagining doing a female character per male character. Instead of just...doing half as many male characters.
Yes, there would be more work doing animations models, but honestly, it's not double. And would be risky worth it - plenty of players, even male ones, have been clamoring to play with female characters for ages. And that's ignoring the presence of female characters in the multiplayer of previous games, which just makes them liars.
Poor form, really, and reminds me of Microsoft's idiocy in saying things their 'stupid customers' will obviously take add gospel...oh, wait, the internet is smarter than that? Oops. XD

I giggled:
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Can't quite believe the latest ad for the xbone.
Why on earth would anybody possibly want to play a game and watch a football match on their tv at the same time?
I mean, I know this is their big selling point but it just looks ridiculous.

So that's the story. And what was the real lesson? Don't leave things in the fridge.

I play with people on it who play Forza and between races they pop the 'snap' bar on to catch scores and/or wait for people to tune cars for the next race.

The ad with Aaron Paul cracks me up. It's advertising the $400 Xbox One which doesn't come with Kinect, yet he spends the entire commercial using voice commands.
uhm, that should be 'stuff.' My stiff is never nihilistic.

Because this console doesn't know what it is, doesn't have anything in particular going for it, and had to remove its "integral" extra component just to sell units. >.> What's a bit of false advertising in amongst all the rest of its problems? XD

I did. Now I look at it and I don't know why I did that. It's just so money to hate on Rome 2 this summer

Anyone playing Divinity: Original Sin? Heard of the game for the first time today, and just watching a trailer has gotten me extremely interested.

For anyone interested, Bungie has opened up the beta testing period for all playstation and x-box owners the next three days. You don't have to own a pre-order or anything.
I know what I will be playing this weekend.

Gloriously shot some russians relaunching CoD4: Modern Warfare. Curious how I always do better in the missions in Russia than the ones in Hedjaz...

This trailer has me thirsting for some late 90s FPS arena multiplayer mixed with some Section 8 gameplay.
I am so damn close to pulling the trigger and just buying into the early access, even though I hate the Early Access model. I am trying to convince myself it is like Kickstarter. If I don't give them 15 dollars the game will NEVER come out. Could I live with my self then? Absolutely not.
