Existence

Eh, I don't know. The crew (sans Dan) hated MP1 and 2, but they still seemed to have fun playing and bashing it, while it looked like MP3 just bummed them all out.

I have the same problem, but only since a couple of weeks ago. The gamespot chat doesn't load for me, either.

Alexa needs to be on UPF, stat.

Because why not?

(Kinda want to try this out now.)

One can only hope this is the first in a long series of videos. I really want to see what sort of cuisine the mind of Dan Ryckert can come up with.

On one hand, I believe that anyone who got into "Gamergate" genuinely out of concern for the state of ethics in gaming journalism needs to take a look at what the wide perception of the movement is, and draw themselves away from it; they need to realize that all they're doing now, for all their good intentions, is adding strength to a hate group. They can argue that it's just a few bad eggs that are distorting the message of the movement, that those few don't speak for all of Gamergate, but those "few" have poisoned the debate to such an extent that no constructive discussion is possible at this point. There will be a time when their objections can be heard by sympathetic ears, and there can be a reasoned debate on the issue, but that's just not going to happen right now.

On the other hand, will there ever be a time when these wretched people who delight in threatening decent people won't be present on the internet? Will there ever be a time when proper dialogue will be possible without these people showing up and twisting words and motives, and burning everything down? What if those waiting to voice their concerns about journalistic ethics in a decent manner will be left waiting forever? Is not the best thing to do then, to push ahead and have the conversation anyway, ignoring the assholes? Man, I don't know.

Thanks for the letter, Jeff. Fuck all the shit that's been happening over the last couple of months.

We need to go back and talk about that 8.8 now.

I'm the sort of person who doesn't give a shit about a company "exploiting" or "milking" a franchise, as long as they consistently put out fun and entertaining games- it's when the games start feeling tired that I start thumbing my nose at it (and I realise everyone has different limits on that)

In that context, provided I like this game, I'll have no problems buying sequels as long as they continue being good.

Pretty pleased with the scores! I was bracing myself for a let down similar to the likes of Watch Dogs.

I think I'll match that.

I wonder if GB will post it's review today- if they review it at all. I don't see a QL in the upcoming tab.

I usually hate to judge a game before it's released (or even revealed) but this is disappointing.

I think it would drive away a lot of the non-trolly commenters as well. At least personally, I occasionally leave comments on videos I like, but if a website introduced a premium comment section, I'd just go "You know, I don't care that much about leaving a comment." I suppose it wouldn't matter too much on GB in particular, since I already have a premium account for the videos.
