Oh. You are a big developer? Sorry, cant go to the aftershow party, because you are wearing sneakers:
Last time I was there the clubs in the major casinos (at least the ones I saw) required business casual*. I was short on free time due to the trip being work oriented so my knowledge on the particulars of Vegas clubs is spotty. Its not uncommon for clubs in other cities to have similar policies however. As "amazing" the developer is in the development world, they are just another schlub a club deals with on a daily basis. This isn't outrageous or shocking unless your talking about the hosts inability to account for club rules prior to booking it or alternatively their failure to impart club requirements to developers.
*To be exact, the actual text spent more time delineating what type of clothing was banned.
Another WTF
That bias.
what is wtf about that? he's one of the jurors, obviosuly didnt like bayo 2
Witcher 3 overreactions, as expected

Even in a jokey sense that kind of terminology is offensive and bannable if pointed out to mods.

offensive? good lord. you know whats offensive? cops killing people. thats offensive, not videogame bullshit. but hey, feel free to report me. since I was so offensive
he didn't say that, tho, he outright said that he's biased, and hater too, that's not how judging works last time I checked.
I understand it could be a joke, but from standpoint of someone being in the jury, that's a tasteless joke however you look at it. 
Eh? That's a bit much, since when has that joke been bannable?
Remember when Steam's most played games glitched and it showed games that weren't confirmed at the time? I wonder if you can program a request to Steam that would return to the sender the least played games at the moment.
Though probably every dev now is using codenames for the titles.

Years?
There is a clear difference from thinking a game is not as deserving than another to win a prize and having such an intrinsic hatred toward it that you have a visceral reaction at the though of it winning. That difference is key when considering if someone is qualified to sit on a panel of supposedly impartial judges.
Well, it probably is a tasteless joke considering I very much doubt he would have quit if it happened.he didn't say that, tho, he outright said that he's biased, and hater too, that's not how judging works last time I checked.

He shouldn't have mentioned it, but judging is biased no matter how you slice it.
I've been turned away for having sneakers at a club in Bahrain. They were really nice Diesels, but those guys gave 2 shits. I went back later with the proper dress code though and it was awesome. Me having sneakers there would have really been awkward due to the atmosphere of the place.
you're telling me a judge had a favorite game of the year and wanted it to win and has opinions on games? #aguyinthepresshasanopiniongate #wewantthemythicaljudgewithno"bias" #corruption #thefirerises
I can't stand gaming press with this attitude
you don't shit on other candidates even if you want a certain game to win, there is difference between having an opinion (or preference) and being biased, especially after a game you wanted to win already won.
of course it is biased, we are all people and have our tastes and preferences, you just don't need to go around and shout out loud, hey, look I'm this biased! Impressed yet? (><)
That's like killing own credibility and not even caring about that. Oh well, that's a world we live in
For a long time.
Not only is it a phrase with a terrible history associated with it, but it is generally used as a derogatory term against PC gamers.
An impartial judge should be impartial and see merit in genres he may not personally enjoy.
That statement not only makes him seem extremely immature, but also that he cannot be impartial and shows an obvious bias.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
This makes me wish that Bayonetta 2 would have won.
but making fun of "console warriors" as most of the thread was with the SF5 announcement is A-OK right grief?
but youre right, I was extremely offensive earlier. in fact, I would put it right up there with calling a black person the N word.
Well, yeah, I agree there is a professionalism issue to be had with the tweet.
I was just arguing the point, I didn't endorse those other issues.

I wasn't aware that "console warrior" was loaded terminology with a dark history that involved systematic murder of whole groups of people.

I'll be back later.
Everyone has been at each other's throats lately.
Actua Soccer 3 was yanked earlier. Also, Miscreated has a store page again (that was fast).

It was always a weird choice to suddenly appear on Steam and it disappears just as mysteriously.

Even if it did win he probably would have deleted the tweet anyway.
Aren't TTG releases usually $5 cheaper on consoles?
MGR:R PC was released Jan 9, 2014. The pre-order went up on the first day of winter seals.

Not steam though.
I think the game is cheap on the Mac game store, not sure if its a Steam key there though.

Leisure Suit Larry 4 remake.
It was 29,99 when it was released but then Sony updated the price and put it down to the price you mentioned. I think there was even a thread mentioning the prices discrepancies If I'm not mistaken.

hey Monk! Sorry I missed your message yesterday I was away from my computer.
Just wanted to say that it's good to see you on GAF again!
not cheap and I believe no version sold anywhere (including MAC store) is steam except one sold on steam.
edited: most likely that's why it is more expensive too

Maybe it's Stockholm syndrome
Considering the time it was released and that it's the first installment of the franchise on 3D I think it's a competent game, when I played it originally on Dreamcast everything blew my mind, then I replayed it 5 or 6 years ago on PC and I also enjoyed it but for some reason I'm having a lot of problems with the Steam version mainly the camera going bonkers and broken collision through a lot of the levels, funnily I don't remember facing these issues back in the day or I didn't payed much attention to it. Also playing it makes me wish for a good 3D Sonic game with huge levels with diverse paths, and a Chaos garden.
It's not. Telltale stopped giving third-party retailers Steam keys with TWD S02.
See, this one is actually funny.
