all your cyberpunk dystopian fiction has failed because it could not conceive of something so simple and perfect as a rebel faction that's just juggalos
our older cat is on some new topical medication that has to be applied to her ear and the instructional illustration is the most serene image I’ve ever seen
I've been trying to put my finger on who MrBeast's whole vibe reminded me of for a while now and I think this is what finally nailed it for me. Hank Scorpio.
always fun on here when everyone discovers at the same time that a regular prime time network show that's been on for like six years is completely batshit. like kicking over a rock and finding an unexploded landmine.
whatever you think of Tom Brady, you have to admit that blowing up your marriage to Gisele Bundchen so you can get powerbombed three hours a week by guys 20 years younger than you and achieve, generously, an 8-9 record is objectively a very funny bit.
the thing about the Nier church thing is that it doesn't really matter if it's a real thing or something fan made. it's been so long since we had a good old fashioned carny mystery in games that it's just nice to see people going apeshit for something fun for once.
I don’t really care what fictional characters people jack off to but something about the specificity of “Chun Li (Fortnite)” chilled me to the very core of my being.
Streamers worried about getting their content pulled because they used music they didn't pay for should be more worried by the fact that they're streaming games they didn't pay for as well. It's all gone as soon as publishers decide to enforce it.
If you had your TV on this weekend and weren’t watching football, chances are that you might have seen a recent hit movie. There’s nothing unusual in that, but the difference is that not only does that cover VOD rentals and downloads, but also at Netflix:
I like Phil Spencer as much as I've liked any game executive of my lifetime and I think it's both incredibly wrongheaded and borderline disrespectful to the people who lost their jobs today to consider his hypothetical hurt feelings as something worth remarking upon right now.
I see a lot of shots at Phil over today's Xbox announcements. I get it. But knowing him as a human, I know this hurts him as much as anyone else. I can't speak for all of the leadership there, but I do know him and I do know what he is likely going through.
I'm not trying to
in case you didn't happen to tune into this week's Bombcast, I should probably say publicly that I have given my notice, and this Friday will be my last day

. It's been an incredible 10 years, but I made the difficult decision that it was time to move on.
the LeVar meme is good and I support it as a Drake replacement, but I would also love to see some support for “marginally more enthusiastic Kevin McDonald” meme, of which I am currently the sole supporter
Fortnite will not rest until it has exhausted the totality of fiction and successfully handed every possible character a machine gun, and while I don’t agree with it, I am forced to admire the sheer magnitude of that vision.
The Wynn Golf Club is one of the most expensive public-access courses in the country ($600+).
And now you must stare at a 366-foot tall and 516-foot wide fake eyeball while you play.
They can’t be happy about that.
i’m a big fan of the Lion King and Aladdin remakes because I always think things should look like real things, and not drawings of things. Will Smith? he’s real, and I think that’s great. that other genie? that was just some artist lying to you.
Incredible actor, unbelievable voice, deeply underrated comedic presence. This scene is a thousand times funnier having someone with this kind of gravity say the words "you unloaded just a tremendous amount of glue into that tank". RIP.
This was...a truly crazy day. I mean I'm a pessimist, so I always keep my expectations low, but this was waaaaay beyond anything I'd imagined for day one. All the thanks in the world to everyone supporting us. I hope what we make more than justifies the outpouring of enthusiasm.
it's not that I don't hope they somehow eventually find a way to make a good one of these games again. it's that I'll just be a little sad if/when the games ever stop doing shit like this.
I can’t think of a time when Microsoft’s lawyers would be more bloodthirsty and pleased with themselves than at the tail end of a historic merger but hey, go with god I say.
I will never remove my shirt to reveal unexpected muscular definition. I will never betray my fans by becoming ripped. My torso will only ever resemble a sack of wet trash. That is my promise to you.
there are no bigger fucking dorks on this earth than the sneering geriatrics who hate greta thunberg. just an astounding level of self-satisfied dipshit energy radiating off all of them.
last weekend we unexpectedly said goodbye to our little Thelma after 12 years. it was very sudden and we're still heartbroken about it. she was a wonderful companion and I'm going to miss her forever.
proud to announce i’m launching a new games site where every article is just an anguished, uncomfortably protracted scream. no politics, just endless screaming.
the "The Parkland Teens aren't grieving the right way" takes are infuriating me in a way that's difficult to articulate without just screaming in blind rage
the GameStop stock crisis in short: a bunch of finance dudes with ancient jpegs of Ben Affleck in Boiler Room blown up as their windows backgrounds are very cross with redditors who have Leo in Wolf of Wall Street fucking on that pile of money as their phone wallpaper.
instead of delaying all these video games over and over, let’s just not release any games in 2020. all the devs can have a nice rest and we can catch up on our backlogs. doesn’t that sound lovely?
GEOFF KEIGHLEY: We’re here to show off the latest work from acclaimed genius, ultimate video game auteur Hideo Kojima. Can you please describe your ga--
KOJIMA: The baby is metal gear. Woman is mother. We must connect society. Lindsay Wagner was hot in 1976. Thank you, Greg.
@giantbomb
I will spend some time tonight catching up on all your messages and DMs, but for right now I think I just need to take a walk around the block. let's save the goodbyes til Friday. we've still got videos about video games to make!
I hope the flat earth rocket man succeeds. I hope he breaches the barrier of this false earth and frees us all, instead of crashing and dying, which is what he will actually do.
I'm happy for IO Interactive getting the Bond license and I'm sure they'll make it into something fun, but of all the beloved British properties they could have taken up, why did they choose this over the most obviously correct one for their skillset: Mr. Bean
We are excited to announce Korn Koffee. Korn has collaborated with
@jgurseycoffee
to bring you a unique blend of beans worthy of the most die-hard coffee fans. Available Now:
Rutger Hauer’s final video game credit is Kingdom Hearts III and I can’t help but smile thinking about the face he must have made while someone tried to explain to him who or what a Xehanort is
