I feel like Google's actually trying now with Stadia by offering things to get into people's hands, even if you don't actually need anything to play Stadia. Anyone with a Google account can literally just go the site and start playing Destiny 2 or Bomberman R right now. A lot of people are...

I jumped on the deal. Already got a Stadia Premier from having YouTube Premium so this other one will likely go to my brother, another CAG. I've played it for about 8 hours, and I'm liking how the game has been running. Two times my gun has fired for longer than I held the trigger, but that was...

It is. I might have to run some cable if I end up with another one of these devices.

On Friday I got a free Stadia Premier in the mail for being a YouTube Premium member (I use it for music mostly). To be honest, I'm pretty impressed with it. I have a fiber internet connection and it ran really well. Claimed about a dozen or so free games from their "pro" service. Got a $10...

I was pretty excited about this, too, but apparently I bought it for $1.99 on sale in March.

Not sure why it's $2.00-$2.50 cheaper to buy Zone of the Enders HD Collection separately vs. buying them as one package, but hey guys, don't accidentally do something stupid and buy them as a package.

I played Persona 3 Portable a couple of years back and loved it so much that I played through it again immediately even after spending a good hundred hours on the campaign and extra stuff. It's my favorite JRPG since the SNES days. The characters, writing and voice work are particularly good...

Thanks!

This game is pretty fantastic. It's pretty cool seeing the alternate bad endings play out. It reminds me of when you made a wrong decision in a Choose Your Own Adventure book, and the story skips ahead and sums up why that last dumb decision you made means the end of the world. Good storyline...

You can get cable HD without a box. I did before I switched to my current system actually. Now I just get HD through my antenna and my regular-ass TV tuner. I've heard that broadcasted HD is actually better than cable because it's not compressed as much.

So glad that even in the middle of 2012 we're arguing over what underpowered game console is shittier.

Ah, ok. I guess I was mostly thrown off by your use of quotations around the J-word. I appreciate a save-it-for-the=next-day news embargo. Having a night to finely tweak a story instead of vomiting Tweets about a press show just seems a bit more civilized. People got some real good journalism...

I thought news embargoes were for the benefit of the publisher, as in they can control how the information trickles out to properly build hype according to how the marketing and management of the publisher sees fit. But hey, feel free to bash the profession of game journalist. Not enough out...

So now that we know embargoes are useless, how do we get rid of them? Should the game publishers just give up the entire idea?
