Too good to be at the bottom of last page.

if it weren't for Benoit this game would totally be on PSN

fuck you McMahon

Dude, Flair's car has a grill that says WOO across the front

Come home, Scoops.

Too late, he just commented "+1" on the post where Gawker editorial is pissy that Gawker management put the squash on their outing gay people bullshit. Maybe wait until the fires simmered down a bit before making this grandiose stand of pathetic martyrdom?

 

[Twin Tails]

An Alex game.

Pretty good.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

I like how "very mixed reviews" just means bad.

Yikes. That does seem like a bit soon to start pretending you're the victim in this scenario.

 

[MassiveNights]

The constant shitting on Dan in live chat is really fucking lame.

I’m torn on the post being taken down. If Gawker made a mistake, their shit should stink publicly and openly. Deleting it is a symbolic gesture that does nothing to take back what happened–the genie is out of the bottle, so to speak.

It shouldn’t be management’s call whether or not a post comes down, that should be determined by the editorial staff. That said, issuing a statement like this right now makes it look like the staff is defending the post being written.

As I hope has been made clear all day today, that is not my feeling–at all.

The post was a mistake. It will always be a mistake. It genuinely hurt people’s lives, and Gawker has to live with that. As a reporter for a sister site of Gawker, in a way, I have to live with that, too. Believe me, it brings me great distress.

I do not blame anyone for looking at the staff statement and going “is this the hill you want to die on?,” however.

A heaping pile of fucktrash.

the best Sega Genesis game is NHL 94.

Patrick has been really disappointing on this and comes across as confused and trying to toe some sort of middle ground.

Losing some credibility as a self-styled 'issues' guy.

whoa buddy

NHL 94 is dope and all, but it's also a game that can be played elsewhere

It's why I never took him seriously on some of the issues he stood for.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Fucking Gawker. All they've done is made sure everyone remembers they fucked up. Taking it down won't take it out of people's memories, and leaving it up doesn't make them any more noble. Acting like they're the victims though, that's fucking hilarious.

except that the genesis version > all

You know, I'm not one to think that people have to answer for it when their company becomes shitty, but Gawker has been Gawker for a long time. If you choose to start working there, you're complicit as far as I'm concerned.

"Is it because Greece took all the money?"

I didn't realize Jeff had decided Giant Bomb needs to declare war on a continent today.

 

[Teddified]

Drew and Danny racing a whole race! Can't wait for the video on sunday.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

RC Pro Am always gave me a bit of anxiety because you can't see very far ahead of you.

You're right, it sure is Jungle Strike

 

[DrFunk]

NOW YOU HAVE THE LOOK OF A HERO

His tweets and tumblr posts have an air of making it about him, which is really fucking weird too. " Thanks for the support".

Yeah, perspective needed...

Similarly a problem in micro machines for the gameboy. Falling off the track because you couldn't quite anticipate and line up for the narrow ruler acting as a bridge between two tables.

Yep. And the AI can "see" ahead and anticipate turns. They seem like they're beloved by some, but I never liked any of those games.

I just got to this gba game on the stream. Wow does it not blow up well.

 

[Mister Negative]

Oh man, I totally want those chips now that drew described them like that.

 

[DrFunk]

Zero Tolerance had FMVs on a genesis

 

[Zeouterlimits]

UPF on the left monitor, Rocket League vs AI on the right. Beer too. Pretty good.

 

[justjim89]

I'm not sure I understand what Scoops and the Gawker editors are pissy about. The owners of the site took down a post on a site that they own. Is that not 100% within their right? Especially such an awful, stupid fucking post.

as a kid I played RC Pro Am enough to memorize the turns, and once you do that you basically start lapping the AI every time. turns out all the challenge is in not smashing into walls you can't see.

[Sleeping Lesson]

That's excellent Twin Tails. Good find. I'm going to rewatch all of the Contradiction videos this weekend, it's some of the best content this year. And it has been a helluva year.

Exactly! Fuck that, those games are trash.

 

[robotrock]

Very cinematic aspect ratio.

 

[Lingitiz]

I thought that was real life for a second.

 

[Mister Negative]

Can you imagine playing a game in 2015 where the actual game only takes up part of the screen so that it can actually run well?

Spoiler

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Yo guys, I just got an xbox one

You guys what the fuck with these menus

I tried to find the on sale section in the store and couldn't find it.

And snap is awful. Who wants to watch a postage size stamp video on the side of their screen?

At least the wifi on this thing is sick as fuck

 

[robotrock]

That Rez save.

It's been a long time since I've played or bought Rez.

Wait, what did they say about Rez? Are they going to play it?

Hooked up a 360 last week for some Rez. Top video game.

Don't get used to it. They're doing some whole new UI thing soon enough.

 

[DrFunk]

Ridiculous what you could do with a Genesis at the end of it's life

 

[repeater]

Haha, Brad shutting down Drew's snacktime.. Ice cold

 

[Twin Tails]

The UI is fucking garbage. Get in the preview program so you can get the upcoming UI update earlier.
And yes, snap sucks.

 

[Mister Negative]

oh my god, that elevator music that's hilarious

They were looking through a PS2 memory card talking about the polygonal save logos and I noticed Rez. I don't think they actually mentioned it.

It really makes me appreciated the simplicity in the ps4's menus. This shit is like menus on menus and everything looks like it was made for a touch screen. It's bad

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Why haven't they every played Vectorman on a show? Would be good for the Old Games Show.

wait isn't that just the PS3 menus

 

[Mister Negative]

Giant Bomb #16 | Nibble Some Knuckle

Giant Bomb #16 | Open Wide for Chunky

 

[MassiveNights]

Open wide for Chunky.

 

[stump sock]

this game runs better than I remember.

and Dan's idea just makes me want to make notification sounds out of Sexy Parodius' voice samples

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

That sign in the back has some weird shit. What the hell does "open wide for chunky" mean?

[Edit] I knew I couldn't be the only one to notice!

This is like a fetal gangbeasts.
