The funny thing about a certain type of angry conspiracy guy is that they’re literally being confronted with an elite paedophile ring and a tyrannical government at the same time right now, and because it isn't being done by the people they wanted it to be done by they’re all being pussies about it

Silent Hill F. Is by no means the worst example of this, but I am so fucking over having a scary monster pose for the camera in a cutscene, do a little scream and have the camera shake. It was never scary, it is now annoying and trite. Fucking stop it. Stop it now

The first big publisher that decides not to spend $100m on one AAA game and instead spends $20m on five AA games, or even $10m on 10 games, is going to make so much money...and they'll all pretend it's some amazing new business model rather than just How It Used To Work Before You Broke It.
