game-related lolz of some fashion

ladies and gentlemen, 2017
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-11-20-clicker-heroes-studio-abandons-upcoming-sequels-free-to-play-model-for-ethical-reasons

That is actually pretty honourable of them. Freemium is a scourge. Sadly I don't think the new model will work, because the micro-transactional nature of freemium means you can fool your brain into thinking you're not spending much, whereas £30 for a clicker game seems like a ridiculous outlay.

Heroes. Sad that Nintendo is planning to go the other way: https://www.engadget.com/2017/10/31/super-mario-run-200-million-downloads-not-acceptable-profits/

I agree that $30 seems way too high for that kind of game - it'll need some mindblowing reviews to sell it. That said - are they the first F2P developers to actually admit the terrible psychological cost of it, let alone take action?

^ ghostbusters theme playing in the background near the end of that video is icing on the cake

also great is watching the dad idly check out the flap on the front of the console.

A call placed to the number that Musk tweeted on Tuesday went to voicemail and played a message from the video game God of War. “By the Gods you’ve done it,” the message intones. “Somehow you’ve found your way here to me. I offer you my congratulations and my respect.”

i thought i never wanted to play that misbegotten mess of a game ever again

reader, i was wrong

Is that a game or day in the life of mike pence?

if i ever get some disposable income again, it's gonna be a tough choice between a switch and some sort of VR system. on one hand, new instant classic games like zelda. on the other, i can twist my fingers around in people's ears

VR wet willy zelda would be the ideal compromise but i'm not sure the world is ready

i'd back that kickstarter tbh

(xpost)

Aw, misread as a glance as 'VR Jet Set Willy', which would be neat (and probably still impossible).

When you die in VR Jet Set Willy, you die in real life.

omg

Hell yeah

Worth the wait. I thought “OK hippo is sort of funny but is this just going to be another lp of of somebody sucking at Getting Over It?” And yes, but also no.

tombot, that's videogamedunkey and his back video catalog is worth exploring if you dunno. not everything but lots of it is insightful and funny.

dunkey is a national treasure

i lol'd

omg how have i lived without videogamedunkey in my life

one of my fave ol' dunkeys

WAHHHHHHHHH!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=as-o01CW5Vs

hell yeah

i'm-a gonna ween

both those videos are amazing, kudos

not to turn this into dunkcentral but he just posted his best of '17
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6ODTQKhaXk

i really like that guy's sense of humor!

yeah and he has good taste

i remember watching that and being legit mad SM2 wasn't on the tier list. good gag

Laughing at his critics video in which he talks about Armond White.

the final minute of this w Donkey Kong losing his 1st place status is so funny

p much perfect. getting hit by the red shell after the blue shell already wrecked him is the true mario kart experience.

little milkshake duck warning here that you might wanna be careful how far back you dig into the dunkey catalog

Mario Kart is about learning to accept the blue shell with equanimity.

Ulysses- what's to worry about?

standard internet numbskullisms

Well there's some of that in the recent videos too, probably a lot less though.
