Zoe Quinn is working on an FMV game project, starring Greg Sestero (Oh, hai Mark) from the Room. http://campsnotdead.tumblr.com/ She approached Carl Weathers to be in it on twitter and his entire response was #BePeace

I can't buy that Eron Gjoni wasn't trying to start shit. I have seen screencaps that indicate he posted all that shit directly to 4chan before he made the Zoe Post blog thing. Fuck that guy.

To be honest I really feel like watch_chart_gate_dog has been blown way out proportion. Different skus exist for every game and I imagine just about anything you've played that is a major release in the past 10 years could plot a similar chart if someone cared to. I think as a primarily steam gamer my choices boil down to 'with or without all the DLC' and thats pretty normal. 11 SKUs world wide, some of which are identical (Uplay Deluxe Edition is the same as Digital Deluxe Edition but on Uplay instead of Steam and PSN). RE uPlay's continued existence, I believe what you're probably remembering is them winding down the always-online DRM requirement, which they did do. It's a bit of an annoyance still but its pretty harmless at this point. I'd rather they just fully steamworks their games up instead of depend on their own shitty encrypted cloud posts, but watcha gonna do.

Yah, it specifically points out that you: The player in real life and also in the video game are a guy who reached the max level in AC3 Multiplayer and thus were given a job by Abstergo. This ties into the actual multiplayer unlocks in AC3, which has a video at max level announcing that you have won this opportunity, if I recall correctly. Its really really weird.

For anyone interested in looking up the Redditor's Robot suit, I present you: http://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/1p7r5f/uh_that_wasnt_the_broken_xbox/ It was exaggerated on the cast to be worth more than it was (it would never be a $2500 rig even in 2010 when the parts were new) but it's still pretty funny.

I will call most things that make me grin ear to ear good. That fucking ending is one of the most memorable and delightful things in all of my gaming history.

RE: The Reader mail about Gone Home/physicality of movement. The ARMA franchise absolutely simulates the whole body of the player character. Many people consider it very clunky because of that but it is of importance to the way that game works to have every part being 'real'. You can totally free-cam around to look at your chest and get stuck in doors if you're carrying a big gun in a weird angle as an example.

Why does everyone forget the Path of Neo? That game was kinda good. Mostly.
