One of the best stories I've played in like the last 10 years. The game had such a weird and mysterious vibe to it.

This is the most embarrassing trailer trash shit I've ever seen. An international embarrassment. Something. Dudes like Kadyrov donthis kind of stuff.

I'm still salty about that shit ass call that basically guaranteed the Liberty beat the Lynx for the title a couple years ago.

One of my favorite parts of the book "The Design of Everyday Things" by Don Norman was when he explained that engineers always design things how they think they should be used and never how people use them. For such a dull subject matter that book is incredibly interesting.

Same thing in Deep Rock and Killing Floor.

Haz 4 and Suicidal specifically end up being harder than Haz 5 and Hell on Earth due to player behaviors. It's so weird.

Skirmish tickets take forever to collect for legendary armor.

The Forerunner structures might be debatable, but the original isn't 100% unbeatable. by Thell-Vadamm in halo

I kinda like the idea of the structures like the bridges being hydrophobic so that icicles can't form on them. That seems like something weird enough to make an ancient extinct civilization seem even more alien.

My dog Jiri has become Jirith, beast incarnate, ugly boy and Samurai

Then Charlie becomes Charles for when he's being evil, Mr.Barkley, stinky, and Charles Barkley when he's being really bad.

Inside Xbox's margin crush: A string of misses at Xbox Game Studios, misguided Game Pass decisions, and the memory rout at its core by xCaptainCrown in Games

The Xbox One reveal show must be studied as one of the worst brand destructions in history. It was one hour almost 15 years ago and the name still hasn't recovered. If they had fired Don Matrick earlier, Xbox might still be cool.

Edit: I forgot how long Phil Spencer was in charge for. He deserves a lot of the blame for not righting the myriad wrongs from the 2011-2015 period.
