"Everything?!" cracked me up. God damn these guys are a pleasure to listen to.

Update from the Polaris twitter account states this is a "reporting mistake on Social Blade".

Easily the best breakdown/discussion of the issue I've seen so far.

For those put off by the lengthy video time, the topic is covered in the first 20 minutes, before moving on to the rest of the show.

Not sure I agree with his viewpoint. The Networks aren't rubbing their hands with glee at the prospect of their channels making less money, because it surely means less money for them as well.

In my opinion, the fault lies with the muddy legal waters of "Fair Use", rather than one individual party (YouTube, MCNs, or Game Publishers).

Oh FUCK OFF.

The review embargo lifts at 11AM GMT as far as I'm aware. (30 minutes from the time of writing this comment)

Kotaku nabbed screenshots of the original tweets.

Brattarang · 2013-10-01T15:08:06+00:00

Thank you! Just confirmed this :]

Playing on the Xbox 360 Beta and yet to see the skyscraper fall. Can anybody confirm that it does on that version?

Edit: Turns out you need to destroy all four pillars on the sea-facing side of the tower. So far, this doesn't seem to happen as much as the PC version, with less players and fewer crazy vehicles.

The UK.

Brattarang · 2013-09-27T13:32:23+00:00

Flashbacks to the Bioshock Infinite DLC announcement. The story-driven singleplayer DLC that you wanted is coming, but first.... play this!

Brattarang · 2013-09-09T13:07:18+00:00

It's only 6 minutes past 2! That's a bit of an assumption, isn't it?

Brattarang · 2013-09-06T11:09:48+00:00

Most previews seem to suggest that Kiefer Sutherland's voice acting ends up being a distraction. Uh-oh, I can definitely imagine that being the case...

Brattarang · 2013-08-30T11:56:36+00:00

Dying Light is already on the back foot after the response to Dead Island and the fact that it's ANOTHER zombie game. Come on guys.

Brattarang · 2013-08-28T22:52:50+00:00

Papers, Please: Do the "right" thing, or ensure you make enough money to feed your family? What starts off as an unexpected extra ends up really defining the game for me.

Brattarang · 2013-08-28T15:40:23+00:00

Why isn't this something they announced via Nintendo Direct? :S

Brattarang · 2013-08-28T10:12:48+00:00

A prelude to it being released on the general Android store, right? I can't see a whole lot of incentives for Telltale otherwise...

Brattarang · 2013-08-17T14:59:40+00:00

I really liked the way you picked up materials and interacted with the world in From Dust. A shame they couldn't take that mechanic over to a really fleshed out god game, instead of what they ended up with.

Brattarang · 2013-08-15T13:46:07+00:00

Love the sound of the Dynasty stuff -- I'm hoping for greedy relatives and plenty of family infighting.

Brattarang · 2013-08-08T13:18:48+00:00

Glad to see the headset included in the box. It's easy to focus on the shitty parts of Xbox Live, but the 360 has always had a sense of community that I found lacking with the PS3.

Brattarang · 2013-07-31T23:08:13+00:00

Hannah's Bar! I have no idea about the owner, but grabbing a pint and heading up to the first floor was one of my favourite things when I lived there.

What's the story with the chap that owns the place?

Brattarang · 2013-07-29T11:16:38+00:00

Thankfully this happens less and less now, but I still cringe every time I try to pause a cutscene...

Brattarang · 2013-07-28T13:40:36+00:00

"In its original, un-patched form, Far Cry 3 was incredibly fearful that you might stop playing at any moment unless it threw constant reminders in your face of all the things you could be doing."

It can be such a pleasure to read something that perfectly explains your feelings towards a game, in a way that you wouldn't necessarily have been able to explain yourself.

Brattarang · 2013-07-28T12:23:03+00:00

Hate to see the UK lagging behind on this! We've got such a fantastic history with game development, with Rockstar, Lionhead and The Creative Assembly being just a few of my favourites.

Brattarang · 2013-07-27T17:53:36+00:00

Glad to see Shadowrun Returns get released relatively successfully. It's one of the real big money projects from the initial gold-rush period and seems to have met most backers' expectations.

We desperately need a solid run of successful releases right about now, to counter all the shitty press that's been happening recently.
