    Hee hee, I knew you'd be excited about that!
  • i linked you to a trailer for that a while back


    not sure if you saw it though


    of course you prolly found it on your own well before that point

    Man by that logic TotalBiscuit is the only game journalist, because he doesn't like any video games. At all.

    He liked Vessel.
    and The Stanley Parable and that is literally it.
  • i actually did see it from here

    i fanboyed pretty damn hard but I didn't want to beat you guys over the head with that
  • also I own the movie now

    it technically belongs to the fam

    but it lives with my Rayman shit so I consider it mine
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    There is no reason to like The Stanley Parable.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    Rayman

    now those are good games
  • damn skippy

    he doesn't like Spelunky.

    The guy's entertaining some times, but I do wonder what planet he lives on that there are all these amazing games he gets his absurdly high standards from.
  • More people have said that and been killed than there are thorium decay products.

    Miko what is the best shmup ever

    aaaaaaaaaa that is such a hard question and also I didn't play Crimzon Clover yet so I can't really give a fair answer... hmmmmm, Kamui is rather excellent, though it isn't as brutal as most games... Armed Police Batrider is epic although fans tend to favor its predecessor... Hellsinker is absolutely beautiful, if somewhat of a headache... a lot of games by CAVE are really good too; Ketsui and Dodonpachi Daioujou, in particular, come to mind... should I mention Touhou or not? It might make shmup fans angry. ^_^; Touhou is a good series that Miko specializes in. :3

    Maybe he is secretly Icycalm and only Japanese games made by Cave live up to his standards.

    I'm pretty sure he's firmly in the "no good games have come out of Japan since 1995" camp, but I'm not positive.

    Lol that's funnier somehow.
  • I really don't like the methods behind a good deal of gaming journalism. 

    That said, it's still in its infancy. Gaming PR people shouldn't be paying them off, but if not them, who else? And its not like, say, film criticism is particularly great either, and that's almost a century old.

    Honestly, Kotaku isn't all that bad, but people have an annoying habit of picking out the fluff pieces and acting like they're indicative of the entire website. Every news website has fluff. 

    What I posted isn't what I would call fluff. It was them purposefully ignoring this article and calling it nonsense while calling a report on the gifts they got from a major videogame publisher "good gaming journalism"
    im googling shit about this

    best entertainment all night thank
    it's really sad that Halo is largely associated with two awful snack foods nowadays.

    Do people even drink Mountain Dew? It's really bad. It's like ginger ale's much worse cousin.
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    Halo was a decent game series, and always has been.

    Well, up to Halo 3. I haven't played the more recent ones.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    Mountain Dew is ok
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    I've dranken Mountain Dew. It's ok
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    also Doritos are the best, what are you talking about
  • Soda almost always tastes like piss when you've drank nothing but water for a while. Sometimes soda is the best thing in the world though.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Doritos are not bad
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    i rarely drink fizzy drinks

    i prefer juice

    4 was alright but the story kind of went off the rails and they suddenly decided that Cortana could not be just an AI and now had to be a
    Spoiler:
    tragic love interest who may or may not have had physical form in some way shortly before dying.
    Spoilers.

    The stuff about The Didact et. al. was cool since it had that classic Bungie feel, but everything else was just meh. I don't care very much about the new Spartans since there are tons of them and they have no characterization and I sure as hell don't care about the thing I put in spoilers. 5 might be better, but I'm not getting an Xbox One, so I'll never know.
  • Food is the one area of criticism I'll never touch because there is literally never anything wrong with liking a particular food's taste and I swear if anyone even mentions cannibalism I will scream

    I mean, I don't think people who enjoy Mountain Dew and / or Doritos are bad people or whatever, I just don't understand it since I think both taste awful and I also don't get why that specific soda is so popularly banded together with that specific snack.

    Pepsi and Lay's used to be a contender combination (and one I like far better) but it seems to have since died out.
  • I have like no sense of smell so I tend to like sour stuff (because it's a strong flavor and I'm not really good at picking out subtleties in flavor) or things with good texture.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    i didn't know they were banded together.  Mountain Dew isn't even very popular over here.

    Walker's Crisps are fine, but they're like, the most generic kind of crisps.  Doritos were always a treat when i was a kid.  i'd get excited about Doritos.

    And i like the taste.

    well, let's see
    • they're both PepsiCo products and have been crosspromoted at various times
    • both have cult fandoms of some sort
    • and both are aimed toward the same demographic (I don't want to say they're for dudebros, but they're advertised toward dudebros)
    also I can't say I don't enjoy either product, but I do like multiple of their competitors more and would gladly take a Dr Pepper/Barq's and a bag of Lay's BBQ over either of them any day.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    CANNIBALISM
  • also UK Pepsi tastes hella weird

    mountain dew and doritos have become like inexorably bound together somehow with the image of the "bro gamer type" who like only plays FPS games and says no homo a lot




    also Taco Bell, although Taco Bell and "Bro Gamer Types" are not associated to my knowledge at least.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    UK Pepsi is different from US Pepsi?

    i'm not a fan of Pepsi

    also i feel guilty if i drink any Coca Cola product, so no Dr Pepper for me
  • i drink things that contain caffeine and also are sugar free
  • Quick, someone get Dr Pepper to start advertising with Ubiso--

    oh.

    never mind

    oh

    hence the 'broritos' joke in Homestuck, i guess?

    that was lost on me; i figured it was just a silly pun and a dig at product placement
  • i have literally no other criteria

    in an ideal world i would subsist solely upon vindaloos, granny smith apples and coke zero

    actual factuals

    well, Dr P is a completely different drink over here, and also it's not technically a Coke product (some of the local bottlers of it are owned by Coke, but the brand itself is owned by Dr Pepper Snapple Group)

    and US Pepsi is better than UK Pepsi, but UK Coke is better than US Coke.

    Canadian Coke is the best Coke I've had, though. 
  • also the odd clementine and nice salads

    I drink milk
