I was thinking this was a parody/whatever you call it of Robie/Robin (which is it?) Williams. Truly I am an otaku who loathes (most of) western pop culture.DTWolfwood said:
The moment I saw Jim's face and lyrics beneath the video I knew that it was going to be glorious. I was right.
Honestly, not the worst version of Wonderwall I've heard. But then again, I live across from two pubs, both of which have karaoke nights, so that isn't really saying much.
I enjoyed the rendition anyway, Jim.

Thank GOD, for you Jim!
I've been playing Forza since number 2 (with the exception of Horizon), but what Turn10 are doing with their current DLC strategy is - pardon my French - an absolute fucking disgrace! The bloody season pass is more expensive than the game. A launch title (and their inflated costs) for the love of you! Safe to say, I won't be buying any DLC for Forza 5.

I do think that Ryse has a half-decent strategy. It gives a good selection of maps for multiplayer, and the only things you can spend real money on are costumes and nowhere near enough in game currency. The season pass is for 14 maps (how that gets split between 4 packs, I don't know. Probably taking a leaf out of 343's books), 6 costumes and a sword and shield (don't know how good the sword and shield are, and won't because I won't be buying the season pass. If they got rid of the ability to purchase gold, it would be a good way of doing things. Not the best, but better than quite a few recent games.
This seems to be becoming more common and I can only assume it happened while I was taking a nap or something. I saw on the Playstation Store last week that the season pass for the new COD is $50. $10 less than the full game. For some additional multiplayer maps.GeneralBigG said:
I'm sorry, but if people are going to pay almost as much as a full game, they should just be getting a full god damn game. Hell, back in the old days of PC expansions, and even now with things like XCom Enemy Within, we pretty much do get a full game for less than what that season pass costs. Any company charging that much for all of their DLC is doing it wrong.
That was great.
But I just don't give a shit anymore. As long as I have Steam sales I'm the winner. Sell your games big publishers. Sell them for $60 and $60 worth of DLC on top of that. I'll wait a year and get it all for $15. I have a life to live. And I have other sources of entertainment. I don't have to buy your games as soon as they're released.

I would like to take a moment to appreciate Jim in all his wondrous glory for this excellent performance. May we stand and fight needless paywalls for as long as they're built between us and our entertainment.
Or something along those lines.

Ok, Jim we now together have tortured my neighbors.
The second I heard the melody starting and saw the lyrics below the video I couldn't help myself and started to sing along. So yeah, I guess we have to pay for psychological damage now we may have caused.
Anyway I hate this whole p2w DLC crap and season passes and all that other bull... they're throwing at us gamers.
I want my old expansion packs back
