  • Games should be cheaper to make, too.

    See, that’s the conundrum: big companies make huge investments and want a ROI. They dump 100+ million dollars on a game with a team that’s over 200 people and expect 10x money back.

    Shit has ballooned out of control in the corporate world and Indies have to fight tooth and nail against each other, bigger players, shovelware and older titles




  • Introducing the Xiavelin X42069!

    First you have to slide to unlock the trigger, then watch an ad for 5 seconds, then watch another ad for 10 seconds before the electronics start working, then watch another ad in order to confirm a lock on a vehicle then, finally, you can opt to post a pre-launch photo of your viewfinder, which will be posted on the internet with a 10m precision metadata OR watch another, 30 second ad before firing!





  • Saw those videos some months ago. I always thought those games were just boring “wait for the right moment to shoot an animal”, then Mandalore showed it was much, much worse than that. Lovely comment on the 2013:

    @GrounderPlus
    Worked on some of these games. I remember one day we were demoing the current build to a cabela’s rep and things were going great until they saw a message that said “You’ve unlocked new weapons!” The rep was AGHAST. “WE DON’T SELL W E A P O N S, WE SELL FIREARMS” we had to spend the next day reviewing text in the code and sweeping the game for any instance of the word weapon and removing it.










  • For some reason, this reminded me of Shi Pei Pu, a Chinese opera singer and spy who had a love affair with Bernard Boursicot, a French diplomat.

    He told Boursicot that he was “a female Beijing opera singer who had been forced to live as a man to satisfy his father’s wish to have a son”. The two quickly developed a sexual relationship, maintained in darkness. Shi convinced Boursicot that he was a woman.

    As the French doctors sent to examine Shi discovered, Shi could create the appearance of having female genitalia by making his testicles ascend into his body cavity and tucking his penis back.



  • In one such new study, researchers found that men and women infected by the parasite ended up being rated as more attractive and healthier-looking than non-infected individuals.

    Aha, see, it’s not that I’m ugly, I’m just not infected by the right parasite!

    In addition, women carrying the parasite were found to have lower body mass and lower BMI than non-infected women,

    Well, guess we can predict the next weight loss fad.

    That said, all of this is speculation at this point,

    Nooooooooooo, it’s on the internet now, it must be true!!!
