Does the spell she's casting, or whatever it is that's making her glow, cause her clothing to disappear? What happened to her cape? Did she take it off? Did it fly off? Did it burn away from Blue Glow™?

Until further information is revealed, I'm going to give the CBC the benefit of the doubt and think of this as a simple case of a news organization running a sensationalist clickbait type piece (not sure if "clickbait" applies to television, but you know what I mean) and just rushing it out the door with minimal effort and no fact checking. That, of course, still reflects poorly on them as it shows a complete lack of professionalism, because doing actual journalistic investigative work would require time and effort and who does that any more when they can just blindly run something someone handed them? Of course, given the guilt by neutrality stance of the SJWs and the ferocity with which they attack anyone not just opposed to them but even those that are simply questioning, trying to do their due diligence as a journalist, or even mostly agreeing with them but being more moderate and reasonable about it and not spewing hate hard enough, it's understandable how this could be viewed as something more sinister.

Now? People have been calling it XBone since it launched.

It's a little hard to buy the "he made the apology of his own free will" argument when he had that much hate and pressure hurled in his direction.

Dude come on, you are being very dramatic..you can't be serious? You are taking this whole thing waaaaaaaaaaay too seriously Irony level: CRITICAL

Yes, but only because evil frothing at the mouth zealots are out there to shame and harass anyone that doesn't conform to their Nazi-esque dress code where anything that could possibly be identified as a statement of some kind that goes against their strict totalitarian ideals, even in the furthest reaches of a seriously deranged mind, is deemed unacceptable and worthy of a mass coordinated assault. Shame on him for simply putting on the shirt which his friend gifted him for this occasion and not thinking through what extremist zealots might fabricate out of the shirt's content. It's definitely all his fault, and not a fabrication of the sick, deranged, psychotic SJW monsters that aim to destroy free will.

So... this happened Bayonetta wearing Mario's hat and mustache and wielding the Chain Chomp, because why wouldn't she be? Beating the game on 3rd climax also unlocks both Infinite Climax (Insane difficulty) and Rosa (Bayonetta's mother) as a playable character Rosa is a glass cannon. She deals massive damage but also takes massive damage when she's hit. Sadly, she can't use any of the unlocked weapons, she's stuck with her basic kit (guns). Now to see if I can get through the game on Infinite Climax difficulty and read up on a wiki to find out how to unlock Balder and Rodin as characters (Rodin is likely the Platinum Ticket).

I hate to post a 43 minute long clip (lies), but this needs to be experienced in its entirety. [Charles Barkley]Anything else would be uncivilized[/Charles Barkley]. Let's see if anyone gets that reference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tHUSiCzD6M

Played a bit of Mario Kart 8 with the new DLC. Top quality DLC, great value for the money with awesome new tracks. Also, Cat Peach is too adorable for words. A full blow Mario Kart 8 session is going to have to wait until my Bayonetta 2 addiction subsides (if that ever happens). I'm up to chapter 13 in my 3rd climax playthrough. I'm so close to the Chain Chomp unlock I can almost taste it. I also picked up the Salamandra weapon this time around (I missed 1/3 of a gold lp last time), it's a pair of infernal chainsaws that can be worn on either the hands or feet (or both if you buy the second set). For now I think I'll stick with the chainsaws on my hands for massive damage (the chainsaws do damage the whole time they're in contact with an enemy, potentially doing massive damage if you slice the enemy for a while) and the whips on my feet for reach and massive AoE.

That was a funny trailer but I'm a bit suspicious at the complete lack of game info, is there more information elsewhere? I personally hope it's an old style fmv adventure game with a 70's heist theme. If they could keep that level of humour then I think it would do pretty well. You can never have too many stealth games though. I think it's going to work like a squad-based strategy game. Here's a preview for it in Destructoid.

It's fitting that that piece addresses Jim Sterling, since he is a man shown on multiple occasions to have no ethical standards whatsoever. Case in point his involvement in the unfair dismissal and blacklisting of Alistair Pinsof, and, of course, his infamous Kane and Lynch 2 "review". "Review" is in quotes because it was crystal clear to anyone with the slightest bit of reading comprehension and knowledge of the situation that his "review" was a revenge hit piece for the firing of Jeff Gerstmann, which clearly breaks ethical journalistic standards and is a clear disservice to the consumer, whom he was supposed to be serving with said "review".

Journalism - Reseach Optional

Looks like a heist game with a 70s vibe that's less about shooty shooty and more about stealy stealy.

I found the attack on him to be 1000X more shameful than the admittedly (in my opinion) tacky shirt he wore.

I'm confused. Is fantasizing about being an ideal version of oneself bad? When I do such things, and I do, am I being a bad person? Am I committing some kind of atrocity?

I can only speak for myself as a male, but it seems perfectly natural to me that when engaging in a fantasy role playing scenario (I don't just mean role playing games here) most would naturally gravitate toward playing a highly idealized character, though I do occasionally like to make a hilariously grotesque looking character for comedy purposes (thanks Saint's Row for allowing me to do that).

A bunch of the great Final Fantasy games (read: SNES Era) and Chrono Trigger are out on both iOS and Android. Turn-based, menu-driven jRPGs work very well on touch devices.

I don't know whether it will succeed, but it's a good idea. We honestly need something like this so that the masses aren't so dependent on metacritic, which is an inherently deeply flawed system. Something like this has been mulled over before, long before GamerGate, so it's nice to see someone push to make it a reality.

It certainly looks cool. What's the pedigree of the team behind this? Have they made this type of game before? Maybe more than any other type of game, a loot em up depends on an extremely fine tuned balance of classes, skills and abilities, enemy level scaling, and, most of all, compelling loot to give you motivation for the insane amount of grinding these games entail. As a backer of Grim Dawn and a follower of that project, that game has had its balance tweaked dozens upon dozens (likely hundreds upon hundreds internally by the team) of times since the alpha first released to backers, and they're nowhere near done tweaking.

Cat Peach on the Master Cycle in Excitebike Arena. Yeah. When she wins, she either purrs or says "Meow did it!".

Oldie but goodie

That video is tremendous!

According to Ubisoft, yeah.

It says they are making a game striving for historical accuracy and taking place in a time period when gender roles were very strongly defined and extremely difficult to defy. It's not the same as in a fantasy game where the world and the gender roles (or lack there of) can be anything you want them to be. Early 15th century Europe was a very real place with a very real and very strict social system divided by gender and blood. If you're striving for historical accuracy in a game like that it's not a trivial matter to allow the player to choose gender. It's not as simple as making a female character model and changing a few lines of dialogue here and there to reflect the player's gender roles. Almost everything would have to be written multiple times to reflect gender differences. Entire quest lines would have to be completely different or unavailable to one character or the other. It would be almost like creating a whole second game just to add the gender choice. While this may sound good to the consumer, it does to me, and I would welcome a game with such complexity and it would certainly add replay value, this would be a mammoth undertaking for the developer, even a publisher funded developer working with a budget in the hundreds of millions. For a small upstart studio working off a budget a fraction of that, it would be sheer folly. This is why so many of us gamers hate social justice warriors, this is why so many of us hate people just like you, Bruce. It's because developers are not free to express their art as they see fit, they are not free to act on their vision, not without harassment from zealots trying to cram a social engineering agenda into everything. Not every game has to be all inclusive. Not every game has to represent genders equally (guess what Bruce, the genders are different, this is a biological fact, men and women are not the same). Not every game has to include someone with every shade of skin color under the sun and make sure they're all shown in an equally positive light. Sometimes developers want to tackle specific subjects from a specific point of view. Sometimes these subjects may be difficult for some people to swallow. Developers should be free to create their games according to their vision, free from the oppressive noose of totalitarian control freaks tightening around their necks and sapping their creativity. It's called freedom of expression. This is one of the things we are fighting for.

Sweet. I can't wait to give it a spin when I get home. I hope every character can use the new vehicles and it's not just Link that can ride the Master Cycle. I want Cat Peach riding the Master Cycle.
