If they want me to advertise their brand on my body they should pay me, not vice versa. Brand fanboys are useful idiots for corporations.

I didn't.

 

Although I should clarify - I specifically meant company brands. I.e. that Obsidian logo. Like, band tour shirts are cool. Still a bit of walking advertisement, but okay. Record label shirts? That's that fine line Eddie Izzard described:

 

"Dean Martin with one toothpick? Quite cool. Two toothpicks? Looking like a ****-head."

 

Dragon Age shirt? Quite cool. BioWare logo shirt? Unless you're working for them, looking like a ****-head. And Playstation shoes is waaay higher up that list. :lol:

I've now pre-ordered a Hunter, Kratos, and Crash.

so the following is actual a test?

choose the poe t-shirt or mousepad is getting you rat pack membership, but select the obsidian t shirt and forever be dismissed... just another one o' those curiously bearded millennial d-bags who wears hats and sunglasses indoors, owns multiple designer cashmere hoodies and is as obsessed with social media as a socal teenage girl. 

 

choose wisely young hero.  

 

HA! Good Fun!

yeah not seeing the association ... am neither bearded nor millennial yet own multiple Pillars and Obsidian shirts with a hoodie inbound. Suppose arguably a d-bag in certain lighting, however. 

 

 

don't ask Gromnir to explain.

am admitted a bit lost concerning the distinction which makes the poe or dragon age shirt dean martin kewl, but the obsidian shirt closet fodder for ****-heads. 
 
is the guerrilla tacos t shirt fun or fit only for ****-heads?

Pretty weird industry where a small developer like Obsidian manages more projects at once than a massive one like Bioware. I get that the scales are different, but it sure seems like bad business to be all in like that. Do movie studios do this?

Which is why (one of the reasons, anyway) some people believe we are headed for another industry crash.

The 'middle' (middle studios and AA games) have largely already fallen out. That's a bad sign. Having only large 100 million dollars prodjects or 4 million dollar indies isn't a sign of a healthy market.

You're looking for a hard and fast rule where there isn't one. Let me explain it otherwise: People wear game shirts, movie shirts, etc. all the time. It means little. You're probably a fan.

 

You wear a bunch of corporate brand crap, though? That's not the mark of a fan but a fanboy. I feel that the internet has supplied enough proof that fanboys are, essentially, the devil. A useful corporate tool, but in any other way horrific.

 

There's a case-by-case scale. A 'Last of Us' t-shirt is not the same level as Sony Playstation 3 Sneakers. If you dress like a corporate tool, you probably are one.

 

To go full godwin on it, the former's fine but the latter's like wearing a Waffen SS uniform. Sure, it's possible to wear one when you're NOT a Nazi, but that's unlikely and you can't blame others for thinking you are. :lol:

 

Looking forward to you taking this much more seriously than it deserves again. :)

That looks like a game that's really rad...  that I would be really terrible at...  Then I would write things in the What Are You Playing thread like

 

I'm playing Iconoclasts and I really want to love this game.  I mean, it's a great game, but I'm really terrible at it and it's frustrating the **** out of me.  I need to stop, it's hurting my hands and my sanity.
