I think they explained their reasoning well enough. To me, I understand and agree with their choice. That said, I can't say I'm completely up on all of the recent gaming industry labor issues. The industry issues are obviously the more important problems that came to light this year, I don't think anyone's questioning that. Fallout's situation is most certainly trivial by comparison, but in terms of being the actively hottest, most on fire, most heaping-burning-exploding-pile-of-trash situation, Fallout takes that. I can understand the feeling that Giant Bomb, as a site with a far-reaching voice, is missing the opportunity to send a meaningful message, though.

If the category were, say, "worst trend," things would have gone the other way, I think.

Maybe it's because I've never been able to get invested in any of Fallout's story stuff in the past, but watching the quick look, I thought it looked like fun. Jeff essentially said it's a Fallout game that has the shallow charms, but none of the narrative substance. As someone who never found myself caring about any of the characters or plot points of Fallout 3/4, that doesn't sound like the end of the world to me. Seems some of the narrative stuff has just been replaced with other systems that people will either appreciate, or not.

As with the vast majority of internet backlash, I can't fully understand it.

I've been very anti-case my entire phone-owning life. That is up until a few weeks ago, when I bought one of Google's fabric cases along with my Pixel 3 XL. I feel like it's one of the few cases that actually adds to the style of my phone as opposed to looking like trash, so I'm not minding it.

This is probably more of a video player issue than a site design thing, but man, I would mark out hard for a 15sec rewind button.

This thread is 9 years old.

Also, left and right arrow keys will move back and forward in 5 second intervals, so that's something.

Dude, what is everyone's problem? A "real" Diablo game (so they claim) that I can easily play on a device I already have on me all the time? What's not to like? We'll see if it lives up to the franchine name once it's out, but jesus christ, do we need to always be so immediately negative about everything? It's exhausting.

"Game Journalist" opinions on this doesn't matter. I'm waiting on the Mario Party experts to give their take on this one.

Yeah, what does Dan think?

Also I want the opinion of Drew's brother.

Yeah, definitely wait until October 9th for their announcements. New Pixel phones, Google Chromebooks, Chromecast, and I wouldn't be surprised if they had a new Daydream, too.

I got one for free when I bought my Pixel 2 XL last year, and it's honestly not very good. I don't have any experience with Oculus or Vive, but the Daydream very much has that low res screen door thing going on. The little remote that comes with it sorta kinda works, but isn't great. It's fun to check out virtual art museums for about ten minutes, but I wouldn't say it's worth purchasing in its current form.

According to them, the vast majority of people don't come close to that. Probably true to a point, but also true that that number of people hitting that or going over is on the rise. Yeah it's kinda garbage. I hit my two grace months probably within my first four months of signing up. Now it's a game of what games to download and what games have to wait until next month. It's... fantastic.

I think Verizon has no cap, or at least that's what my quick browsing of their site would suggest. I should have went with them. :(
