I would like to point out that the Carolina Hurricanes are 0-2 in games where a mic'd-up ref says "What's better than this" to the camera in an extremely soulless manner

For that matter, why isn't Election Day a national holiday/day off? It's one of our most important rights, but being on a *Tuesday* means a lot of people think it's inconvenient to vote.

I've had a full 24 hours to sit on it. Final Fantasy XVI might be the most disappointing game I've played in a long, long time. I finished it. I've at least played through every FF mainline game twice. I will not be revisiting XVI.

And honestly? Bussi looked pretty damn great. Was curious to see how he would come out this season. Rest of the team? Yeah, gonna take a game or 2 to get that rust out.

For my sins, I see way too much content and even I’ve only encountered the song in glancing and meta ways, like being scolded to acknowledge its popularity. It’s easier to top the charts w/o reaching everybody today bc we don’t have a monoculture, and that’s not the fault of individual consumers.

The biggest challenge for the US political system is reforming itself so that it can work with regular alternation in party control without either party trying to murder the other party's voters with secret police outside the law or, more generally, ignoring our Constitution.

in a week that saw microsoft give activision the reins to halo and bungie pivot back to destiny, one thing has become abundantly clear: the people in charge do not have a long-term, overriding plan. they’re just reacting. the result, when times are bad, is chaos

"Things are still very chaotic," a current id Software employee who was granted anonymity because they are not authorized to speak publicly told Aftermath. "While there has been an attempt to communicate to the studios, it is still entirely in bullshit corporate speak. I still don't believe they have a clear vision for the future. The only concrete thing they have communicated is they want higher profits, and they want it now. Aggressive goals are being set that would have been unrealistic even before the layoffs. ... To say the workers within Xbox have a dim view of the future is putting it mildly. We keep thinking morale can't sink lower but the obvious incompetence of Xbox management somehow keeps driving it down worse."
This mirrors shifts in strategy that have come to dominate the still-new Sharma era, including others outlined Tuesday. Rare is joining Activision, Turn 10 and Playground are fusing, and—most gallingly, considering their history—Obsidian is being folded into Bethesda to work on Fallout instead of its own original series. As with the previous round of layoffs, details betray Microsoft's haphazard approach: A Halo developer got promoted and laid off in the same week. Gears of War: E-Day's story director is out of a job days after celebrating that the game had gone gold. Hellblade developer Ninja Theory, now without a buyer after a brief glimmer of hope, is once again on the chopping block.
All of this betrays a simplistic mindset that does not accurately reflect the reality of game development: People are disposable, studios are interchangeable, and series can be traded like sports teams. Nothing matters more than franchises and their money-printing prowess. Unless, evidently, you are Hideo Kojima, in which case Microsoft suddenly has money to burn.

Erika Ishii's inclusion is not a "controversial announcement". This is elevating weird gamergaters' boring whining as deserving of attention. There's no "sides" to this, there's no "issue": It's a talented performer who's done nothing wrong being hated for who they are.
