For a second I thought it said “experimental failure”. Would be more accurate, I think.

The quality of the game isn’t why The Crew makes a good target. It’s because it’s made by Ubisoft, which is based in France. And France has some pretty strict consumer protection laws. Were this, say, EA, which is based in the US, the lawsuit would be a non-starter. In adddition to that, France is a part of EU, which means Ubisoft has to comply with EU law in addition to the aforementioned French laws. So if this goes through, they will have to fight this on at least two fronts. The Crew is also a singleplayer game with an online component, which shouldn’t be necessary for the game to function, but here we are.

So to sum up: the lawsuit is not because people are super passionate for The Crew (though some probably are), but because if you’re going to make an example of a game, your best shot is suing a company which is located in a country with good customer protection laws. The Crew just happened to fit that bill.

I’m sure it’s a very capable email client, but the UI just didn’t mesh well with me.

omg, you’re right! The “hand” on the left looks like a foot.

Wasn’t this debunked as fake ages ago?

Okay yeah, true enough. Maybe it would be more accurate to say that people are now much less likely to go see a mediocre to bad superhero movies. To give an example, the first two Thors and Iron Man 3 weren’t great, but they were still box office hits. I have to wonder if it would pan out the same way if they were released today.

Soooo, would this be a riposte to a repost?

Yes, that would be one heck of a twist… if they hadn’t revealed Dr. Doom’s identity at Comic-Con. And we don’t even know what the movie will be called, I might add. I think that if Disney was confident in whatever movie it is they’re making, they would have kept RDJ’s involvement on the down-low, to surprise the audience. Instead, they made this big hullabaloo about RDJ coming back.

Far as I can tell, the casting can be explained in one of two ways:

• This Dr. Doom is an alternate universe version of Tony Stark. But if this is true, why the heck would they spoil the reveal?
• Second option is even worse: no alternate universe chicanery. This is MCU’s version of Doom. But that’s just lazy casting.

Yes, hello. I recently found out that wikipedia has a whole article about you and the, uh, challenges you have faced over the years. In light of this, have you considered renaming your mascot to Dicky Louse?

I smell desperation. There’s ten of thousands of actors out there and they decide to re-hire RDJ? It feels like they’re counting on his star power to save their precious Marvel shows and/or movies. It won’t help, of course, because bad casting isn’t why people stopped watching. People are superhero’ed out and yet they’re pumping out Marvel shit like there’s no tomorrow. And I do mean shit, the quality of Marvel movies fell off sharply after Endgame. The talent just isn’t there, man. Stop.

I started playing the first Nioh. Send help.

I know, I would love to see more games using that style! Then again, I completely understand that it might be easier for some devs to use skeletal animation on voxel models instead of making a static voxel model for every frame of animation.

So, horrendous clock design aside, when is Guiness time? At U o’clock or is it at like half past E or something?

I loved Picross 3D 2 (or Round 2 or whatever it was called) on the 3DS! As you surmised, it’s not what I’m looking for, but I’ll try to snag it the first chance I get. Thanks!

It definitely qualifies! Alas, I’ve already played it. It still astounds me that the game wasn’t ported to other platforms, it was good!

It helps that they don’t eat avocado toast, so they don’t lose money.

Yeah. It’s like… you just want to keep sleeping in the morning.

Landlords contribute nothing to society.

Not surprising. Either this was their long game or MS is in crisis mode, because lately they haven’t been doing so hot.

Somebody is obviously trying to cover all the bases. That’s just good thinking. If ghost are real, they get zapped. If they aren’t real, they get to chase a group of adolescents all over the place for about 20 minutes before said adolescents figure out it’s not a ghost for the umpteenth time.
