Thursday’ll be my day for getting through all the Giant Bomb E3 stuff I still haven’t seen yet I guess

and then getting sad over Patrick

I thought that Patrick was the only Bomber (is that what they’re called?) that you didn’t like.

no, I…

But didn’t he make that weird response video to Tropes vs. Women and called the host (I can’t spell her last name, sorry) a femnazi?

Or am I an idiot who gets things mixed up easily?

nooooooo you’re mixing it up

he linked to that video in his usual post about the week (which includes several youtube videos without any comment on his part) as a joke

patrick, out of giant bomb’s crew, is definitely the one that most brings attention to sexism in the video game industry, actually

let me talk about the prisoner’s dilemma for a bit

For those of you who never got to the kashyyk level in kotor, the prisoner’s dilemma goes like this: you and some other dude are both accused of a crime. If you say he did it and he admits to doing it, he gets five years and you go free. If you admit and he accuses you, you get five years and he goes free. If you both admit, you both get three years. If you both accuse the other, you both get five years.

What’s happening with the xbox one’s policies and the ps4’s supposed opposition to them is the same thing. While the xbox one’s DRM and bandwidth requirements are in no way consumer friendly, they both, in some way, lead to a better future: the DRM removes a reason to buy physical games and brings us steps closer to an all-digital future, which gives developers a better cut of the profit (not to mention removing a lot of the need for publishers), lowers game costs and is just a lot more convenient than leaving your home to buy something. Likewise, the bandwidth requirement, assuming everyone rolls in on it, brings a push for better internet speeds for all, because otherwise our glorfied netflix boxes are worthless.

Microsoft, to bring this back to the prisoner’s dilemma, admitted to the crime, hoping sony would do the same so they both got off easier. Sony, of course, did not.

of course that’s not how real life prisons work but whatever video games you guys

giant bomb’s idea of nintendo consolidating portable and home consoles into one device seems pretty good though you guys, I think that’d be cool

see this is a good idea. we need less “NINTENDO NEEDS TO PUT GAMES ON OTHER CONSOLES” and more “Nintendo needs to get its shit straight”

like the wii u seems like the first step towards that, a portable console that also hooks up to your tv if you want it to

dude hell yeah. I’m gonna call Reggie right now

maybe they already had this idea forever ago, the wii u is a step toward it. it’s there to show how switching between tv and on-controller screen can be useful (and also make sure it works)

for those of you playing at home, that’s two zombie games, zero successful jokes, two fired audio engineers, two unnumbered scifi shooter sequel teasers, one watch_dogs trailer (shown twice), fifty thousand cars, and one gritty christmas
