As Black Friday approaches, Jonah and Paul discuss this week’s news after an absence. No Devin this week, as well as no Gaming Flashback or Gaming History. Paul loses it on the last news item, too.
As for the news:
- Just Cause 3 announced for PC, PS4, and Xbox One in 2015
- Nintendo talks third party, holiday strategy
- Dev: It’s tougher to develop for kids than core gamers
- Intel resumes advertising with Gamasutra
- Xbox One sales triple following $349 promotion
- World of Warcraft hit with DDoS attack as new expansion launches
- Carbine: Redundancies are “part of game development”
The Question of the Week: “When did you first start buying games digitally?”
Wow Paul really let loose with that last episode. I agree with him that I’m tired of the whole Gamergate drama.
I am hesitant to get into the whole SJW issue since it’s a sensitive topic. Suffice to say that they generally are a oversensitive, zealous and fanatical crusaders looking for a fight where there is none or “Making a mountain out of a mole hill”.
A good example that doesn’t relate to Gamergate is the recent landing of a satellite on a comet by Dr. Matt Taylor. Not only did he mange the amazing task of getting the satellite to hit it’s target but we have amazing scientific data from that satellite. The next best thing to finding actual life forms, we found molecules, building blocks of life. We could be able to soon prove that life exists out in space, but what do we focus on? His fucking shirt. He’s wearing a shirt, with women (not naked) on it, made by his female friend as a birthday present, and he wore it to show his appreciation. Instead he was bullied into thinking that his shirt was a bigger grievous sin then his history making accomplishment.
So way to go SJW you’ve claimed another victory and shown why Alien life shouldn’t visit our planet.
@QotW; I’m not sure when the first digital purchase I made was. Probably going to go with the Wii and buying old NES games on it. Then Minecraft, PSn games, Xbox and Steam/GoG on computer. It started as a trickle and turned into a landslide of just getting Digital only. I love not having to worry about physical media getting damaged or lost.
