This is probably a high-point in gringe-worthy game-reporting. The girl has this terrible intonation that makes me want to slap her around the block a few times. What is with that slurring the end of every sentence, where's she's sounding like everything that she says is a question? It's of such an overdone level that I stopped listening to what she was saying and was just hearing a weird kind of brown noise that's about to become self-aware.

Yes, Colonial Marines wasn't a good game at all. But it also takes two parties to start a fight and one of those parties is the most insessant, petulant, crutch-bearing, vindicative, bile-spewing cavedweller known to mankind. And no, I'm not talking about the evil gamesindustry 'that's only after our money'.

Jim goes one-sided in his views upon 'free content' being a service that other gamedevelopers should follow. He doesn't touch on the fact that witheld content being dripfed to the buyer 'for free' isn't free at all. The gamer has bought it already and now has to wait for his game to be content-complete.

I don't really appreciate Win10 much. Even for free I don't want it, which is somewhat of a first for me because I'll try anything once if given for free. (No, that doesn't include scat.) The first time, it crashed spectacularly during install gimping everything and forcing a reinstall. The second time it installed proper, but then videocard resolutions suddenly meant nothing anymore. 1920x1080 suddenly meant that only the upper left quarter of the picture fitted on my monitor, and that games had the weirdest resolution except the ones I expected them to have.

DH raises a few interesting points against the practices of youtubers. A youtuber's work is 100% derivative and in most cases not gracious towards the people they derive their videos from. It's almost a money for nothing deal for a youtuber when you regard the 'new profession' secly.

If you're wondering why no codes for the Pre-Sequel... Well, that studio doesn't exist anymore. So yeah.

Fallout 4.

I finally was able to sit down and see the Bethesda Showcase after the fact. I'm very impressed with how F4 looks and the amount of content it seems to offer.

1 Complaint: Please developers... Stop making single player MMOs! Thank you.

Other than that... Bring it on!
