I wonder if Randy is so impressed by the sleight of hand that he'll just let it slide.

God, in such a garbage week, readintg through twitter reactions to this news has been so satisfying.  The people going on about how they will continue their boycott...

Sure glad we let this chode wave his dick across the universe by letting him launch his car into space forever.

Hyperbole.  People realize in very broad strokes what you'll be doing in general, but there's so much wiggle room in "third person stealth action" that it could mean Phantom Pain or it could mean Hitman.  Knowing the most broad of strokes isn't enough to get interested for me.

I'm confused by the general reaction to this. While it doesn't show how the game plays, it definitely shows more of what you're going to be doing in the game. This trailer is pretty concretely a lead-in to a sequence where you run/hide from a dog-like monster, a thing you've done countless times in videogames before.  It isn't weird or confusing in any way. I get that it is annoying that this game continues to be vaporware. I personally have gone from excited, to frustrated, to having completely forgotten this game exists, but the whole "what even is this game" makes no sense to me. It's a third-person action stealth game from Hideo Kojima that is going to be similar to those other games he made. You don't need to go through an ARG to figure out what was always obvious.

People aren't confused about the very basic notion of what you'll be doing in this game, although being weird and coy about it certainly isn't doing Kojima any favors.  People are more confused about what in the blue hell any of this is about and in a larger sense why they should care.  I don't need to see a bunch of weird outlandish shit to get interested in a game, I need to see why I want to actually get this in my hands as opposed to watching a supercut on youtube and saving $60.  The special Kojima sauce is something that makes great gameplay even better, it's not enough to slog through a mediocre game for, so I need to see where the rubber meets the road on this before I'm going to commit, and showing my a bunch of barely related mind fuckery aint gonna do it.

 worse was them saying they have no plans for a follow up.

I mean how many times do you press the button that electrocutes you before you stop?  Even rats figure that out quickly.

It's going to be crazy hard for anyone in the Facebook/Twitter generation to run for hight office in the coming decades, because of all of the embarrassing stuff they've posted o ER the years.  Hell, I sometimes think "why the hell would I post that?" As Facebook reminds me of a post I made just a few years ago.

People keep saying that, and I've been waiting for this turn for so long that at this point I'm confident that it's just not going to happen.  I mean we've got this dipshit who almost certainly will make it to the Supreme Court, Roy Moore who came within a hair's breadth of becoming a senator when he has a known history of chasing teenage girls, and a man with a long well documented history of being a piece of shit is the god damned president.  

Look, it's pretty clear that until we can round up every rapist and person guilty of sexual assault and launch them into the sun that it's just plain hypocrisy to NOT elect one to the Supreme Court.  Duh.  

I hope they bring the kid to his sentencing so just he can be flossing in the background.

You forget he’s from Kansas though. Also everyone assumes Goku is Asian and he’s also a carbon copy of Superman’s origin

Kal El is from Kansas in the same way that Arnold Schwarzenegger is from California.  Also everyone in DBZ is a fucking moron, so that tracks.

Is the accused a well-off white man or a poor black man?  That kinda makes a significant difference to the outcome in this society.

 

And your motion is denied.

Most people don't have the entire GOP eager to overlook their transgressions backing them up.

Two things here.  

One, let's not pretend there isn't a whole rash of other admitted as holes without an entire political party behind them making a resurgence of late.

Two, let's not pretend the GOP doesn't have a literal platoon of eager, young chodes that would slit their mother's throat to be a supreme court justice who haven't probably raped someone.  It would take them minutes to replace Kavanagh with the next eager lickspittle Democrats couldn't pin this to, and yet they won't.

The Joker has been dissected, examined, re-imagined, re-invented, and portrayed so many times I could not possibly give less of a fuck about him as a character anymore.  

When, not if, this guy gets on the bench, I move that when anyone on the CEB makes some statement to the effect that sexual assault accusations "ruin your life" they be perma'ed.

Well that's one way to get Mexico to pay for the wall...

God, I remember when a certain banned user argued on the old board that Superman had ALWAYS been a christ figure since the day he was created...  Sometimes I miss not having the old archives and sometimes I think it's for the best.

What people don't like is stunt casting.

 

I think most rational people would have been happy with Idris Elba as 007.  Also I think most rational people would love for Marvel to develop Miles Morales in the MCU.  

 

However just coming out of nowhere and race flipping Superman seems a bit out of left field.  That casting seems to be a 'look at what we did' kind of move.

*checks microphone*

*shuffles notes*

*composes self*

ahem

SUPERMAN IS A FUCKING ALIEN FROM A DIFFERENT GOD DAMN FUCKING PLANET.  HE DOESN'T HAVE A RACE THAT MEANS SHIT TO PEOPLE ON EARTH BECAUSE HE'S NOT EVEN FUCKING FROM HERE.

I don't mean 1137, I mean like... 20-30 years ago. People have had the violence trained out of them at a fundamental level. Which is good overall, but bad for dealing with situations like this when clearly this dude needs an ass whoopin'.

...are you seriously suggesting that the 80's and 90's were somehow better about people being rampant dicks to each other?  Has our collective short term memory really eroded that badly?

Why don't you guys just kick the shit out of him? Remember back in the day when you were an asshole and you got your ass kicked, so there was a reason to not be an asshole?

 

It's very effective!

Yeah, Ye Olden Days were sure known for their civility and people not being horrible dicks to one another.

Oh, wait, it was the exact opposite of that.

I'm not following?  What "benefit" are you specifically referring to?

For Amazon.  What does Amazon get out of this?  They get to have a bunch of defunct product listings that aren't available for sale and a bunch of higher priced options that are?

Someone who is better at the economy than me explain the benefit of this?

That's terrible. Only question I have is, why would this guy accept the position from a minority filmmaker if he doesn't like minorities? Just to sabotage the project?

Plenty of racist pieces of shit out there working for brown people.  The money is green and they get to to bitch about shit like affirmative action and all sorts of other stuff to help themselves feel superior.  

Civ Rev was streamlined in the best way possible because I almost never lost.  

I don't know how we're defining short here.  Journey is maybe 90 minutes, but a lot of games mentioned here are 8+ hours.

If you're looking for truly short experiences, here are some of my recent favorites:

Downwell

Donut County

Devil Daggers

The Fall

Jazzpunk

OlliOlli

SUPERHOT

Renegade Ops

Into the Breach

Rocket League
