This is the dumbest website. Amazing. A Pog shower.

This is the first time I've ever heard Kaz Hirai speak as opposed to just read his name in a magazine or whatever. I had no idea he had an American accent. Always just assumed he would have been born in Japan & then grown up in Japan & lived most of his life in Japan.

The more you know.

Bruce was actually Michael's manager. Or managed the company their income went into.

That's really dope! Been watching most of his best of's for years now.

I'm really glad Giant Bomb are commissioning pieces like this, it's really refreshing, makes you think a bit and is also enjoyable. So kudos to Jeff, Austin & anyone else responsible for this decision. Between this article & the Greg Kasavin one, I'm really looking forward to what else we get!

Video game guilty pleasures is a hard one. I don't know if I have any? I must somewhere but I certainly can't think of any. There are games I feel a little guilty that I can't enjoy for whatever reason, that I thought I should like but just couldn't get into: Limbo & Braid both sit in that category. Watching other people streaming Euro Truck Simulator 2 is a guilty pleasure I guess, there's something intensely hypnotic about it, especially as they drive through Germany with some weird German pop radio station on. It doesn't look very good, nothing interesting or surprising ever happens, but I've lost hours just watching random channels on Twitch while some dude has a Skype conversation with some people and trucks along.

Why? What's changed in the past fortnight?

Well, I bought about 11 or 12 games in 2015, & the only ones I played more than Fallout 4 were The Witcher 3 &...yeah, that's it. Of course I haven't actually finished Fallout 4 yet. It's basically become my Dragon Age Inquisition of 2015 in that I played it for a few dozen hours & then dropped off fairly near the end & probably won't come back to it until the summer because there are old strategy games like CK2 & Darkest Hour & Gary Grigsby's War in the East to be played in the meantime.

Still, it was a mostly enjoyable experience even if it was a poor follow up to New Vegas from a story perspective. God I wish Bethesda would hire a couple of good writers for the next Fallout/TES project they drop. Maybe someone from Obsidian. And obviously it was an anti-climax from a tech perspective, though that is less annoying to me than some.

Sums up my thoughts pretty well. Life Is Strange & The Witcher 3 were my one & two, & it was by a fair margin.

It's not Christmas without Quality Street in the UK.

Every new episode gets me closer & closer to actually opening Kerbal up & seeing if I can get a satellite into orbit something equally unremarkable compared to VinCo's flight to the moon & not back.
