Dislike Fallout 4's character creation? Note the black and lesbian couples on the street. And that in Fallout, 1950s values didn't go away.

This single paragraph explanation of the financial crisis by Prof Mark Blyth cannot be shared enough. Please RT

The Yearly Awards selected @Walbridge for Best Failure of 2014. Congrats!

@savetherobot Worst part: younger folks will feel jilted without all that bloat, leading to fewer sales. So, AAA is trapped in that cycle.

@savetherobot Excessive powerups, hidden achievement objects, and unneeded levels and plots points = telling rather than showing.

@savetherobot Like, I played Dishonored and it had a lot of potential but there was so much "game" in my way.

@savetherobot You know, all this crap is why I stick to competitive games or indie(ish) games.

@mkrpata Knife of Dunwall IMO. Witches is supposed to be good too. Consensus is that it's a good set of DLC.

Only on Steam do people you hardly know message you to give you a free game or point out a game on your wishlist is on sale somewhere.

So we're calling it the Gabecube, right?
