Yeah, maybe the whole building will get hit by a meteor.

Oh hey. China. I was wondering when you would show up. You're late, my dude. So the interesting thing about this, currently, is that the one and only source for it has some pretty vague wording. This part seems clear enough: But then we get to this line: Which, honestly, is pretty vague...

That's...nothing new, actually. He featured those palette-swapped Klan hoods in his video for "Black Skinhead" over a decade ago. The implication, at the time, was that they were some kind of black KKK out to do a violence against white people or something. Because that's the kind of reactionary...

Didn't the gold checkmarks basically take the place of what the blue ones used to mean already?

Wow. Just straight-up reigniting McCarthyism in one of the world's more progressive countries. I mean, I guess there's precedent for it; the original McCarthy was a contemporary of the president who oversaw the highest income tax rates in US history...

That tells me that either these video essayists are just swiping other people's footage, or they have their own games so heavily modded that they've lost track of what is and isn't part of a mod anymore—assuming they ever bothered to play the vanilla game in the first place. I have issues with...

Knowing that there are people either not aware of the post-credits scenes or not bothering to watch them does make it feel a little more special. More like an actual hidden thing that only the superfans are privy to.

Guarantee like 50% of the site's addicts users will just VPN their way in rather than brave the scawwy world that is the rest of the internet.

Yeah, any law against boycotts is so unenforceable they might as well be passing laws that ban having liberal thoughts. Oh wait, that's literally what a law against boycotts is, because the only thing that differentiates a boycott from any other buying decision is what motivated it.

I don't even remember there being any songs besides that one.

You mean fake surrenders that are a trap? (Which is a common enough thing that there's a word for it, "perfidy", and it is also a war crime for reasons that should be obvious.) The answer could honestly be anywhere from "as often as they think they can get away with it, because obviously nothing...

Killing people who are waving white flags is a war crime, but I'm not sure what the rules are for assigning responsibility. Like, I doubt this one incident would be enough to make the entire nation of Israel "guilty of war crimes" as far as the UN is concerned, but I wonder what the threshold is...

Atari was old enough that they spent a lot of time flying blind in a brand new market, and got stuck being the one to make the mistakes everyone else would get to learn from. Like, maybe there's a more ergonomic way to add more buttons to your controller than bolting an entire telephone's number...

Then his heirs will just have to pay it out of their inheritance, I'm pretty sure. And if it's more that he'd just rather die than suffer the indignity of having to pay up personally, then he'd better do it, and decrease the surplus population!

This, by the way, is the exact same mistake Nintendo narrowly avoided about a decade later. The DS was originally going to come out alongside some new handheld system that would be the actual intended replacement for the Game Boy Advance, with the DS being aimed more at the casual market. But...

Oh hey, I remember those two from the hearings last summer. Good for them! Not to be a downer about it, but if they're smart they'll use the money to pay it forward and foot the legal bills for others who are seeking justice in cases like this, because being a hundred-millionaire is definitely...

So, never then.

People were calling E3 an irrelevant relic over a decade ago. And by "people" I mean the very same journalists and critics who nonetheless devoted the whole week to covering every single thing that was said and done there. (Looking at you, Yahtzee.) I'm just glad game studios are no longer under...

They kind of put all the interesting action scenes at the beginning. Which, hey, isn't nothing; it basically gave them a reason to put their facemapping tech through its paces and prove that it was mature enough to carry the best part of a movie rather than just a couple of brief shots. The only...

I think (selective) respect for their fellow man is what's motivating it. Seriously, can we not just write both sides of this conflict off as evil and be done with it? Is there some reason we have to give either of them the benefit of the doubt, ever? I don't mean the entire Israeli and...
