    Prediction: Google Stadia won't last a year.

    That's the thing. If this was truly a "Netflix of Gaming" - a service where you could play God of War one day then play Gears of War the next all for a simple subscription fee then an argument could easily be made for "eh, it's worth giving a try." You'd be trading stability for convenience...

    Prediction: Google Stadia won't last a year.

    Not to mention look and sound worse. But google won?t care as long as they?re able to skimp on hardware cost, and more than double profits off of whoever doesn?t care or isn?t aware enough to know any better.

    Prediction: Google Stadia won't last a year.

    No, I most specifically don't. :3 When originally announced, it sounded like Stadia was going to be a streaming device that would unite the consoles. All games for a simple subscription price. Essentially combining PSNow and Xbox(I forget what their all-encompassing game pass is called). It...

    Russian Defense Minister claims U.S. uses MGS series to manipulate youth

    Russia's just afraid that their population's going to start using nanomachines.

    Please ignore double-post.

    Prediction: Google Stadia won't last a year.

    Beyond the fact that most regions don't have the internet infrastructure to allow streaming games without issue to be viable, there's the little matter of the pricing that was discussed in a recent interview. Step 1: Buy the $69 controller. Step 2: Sign up for the $10 per month subscription...

    Jim's Magnum Opus

    Pretty sure he doesn't in this video specifically because this is a video above all else that he wants to be taken seriously so he presents it sincerely (without the usual cut-aways or gags). That's why the intro and outro are both just straight-forward little speeches about the video itself...

    So EA apparently struggles with their image of being the bad guys

    No no no, it's much more straight-forward than that. There's a classic episode of Seinfeld in which George (Jason Alexander) concludes that the reason his life sucks is because every natural instinct he has is completely wrong, that's why he always makes terrible decisions. As such Jerry...

    Jim's Magnum Opus

    But the point will be mooted to them by him dressing up and acting like a fucking dingbat if it?s anything like most of his other videos. Haven?t watched it yet but am planning to, with some consternation. I?m sure his personality has something to do with his popularity, or vice versa, but...

    Jim's Magnum Opus

    It's the big one, ladies and gentlemen. This is a video that needs to be seen by everyone.

    Nintendo Direct for more info on Pokemon Sword and Shield.

    This seems relevant:

    What are some alien species from media that interest you?

    The funny thing about fan-fic is that you can find plenty examples of "wow...really?" for pretty much anything. I do fully agree that the whole "humanize the pred" or all that "the enemy of my enemy" crap is just ridiculous because - indeed - at their core they're murderers. Alien hunters that...

    What are some alien species from media that interest you?

    Yautja (Predators). Gotta love a race of intergalactic serial killers with advanced technology and a code of honor. And on the flip-side: Xenomorphs (Aliens) YEARS ago (just about 7 years ago, to be exact) I made a topic on this site asking which would be "more survivable": a zombie...

    Oh World of WoWCraft Lore...how have you fallen, so?

    In otherwords: they exist as retcons. And that's my biggest problem with the way Blizzard does things: 1: "We want to do (fill in the blank)." 2: "Ummmm...well (fill in the blank) completely contradicts stuff that's already fully known canon." 1: "Fuck it! Put it in anyways!" 2: "I...
