I haven't played or seen any of the Other M cutscenes! I consider myself lucky, because I loving loved the Prime trilogy.

I do wish someone at Nintendo would acknowledge that Other M was a mis-step, though.

Also that the genuinely seem to play and enjoy their own games (even if that's not true). Like when the other CEOs come to talk about whatever they just seem like marketing people.

Grasshopper finally explained what the hell Let It Die is. Here, here's a handy diagram they had at hand:



Don't get it? It's simple: When you die, your character is uploaded to the DEATH CLOUD where it'll become an enemy in other players' games. All those enemies running around in your game? Other dead players. Sort of like Bones files in Nethack, I guess!?

But what kills the first player? And if everyone starts with nothing, how can you kill others to get their equipment, where does it come from?!

The entire game is just a big arena with a bottomless pit as a moat. The first guy jumps in the pit because he's bored.

Maybe the entire thing starts out with you fighting an enemy you have no hope of defeating, thus the first death of the first player is the first person to hit New Game.

Maybe during development, they'll have the playtesters commit harakiri on their characters. And thus begins the endless cycle of Death Cloud (trademarked).

I think the ghosts kind of have to be AI controlled, because otherwise you wouldn't get hurt at all unless you suck and just run into one.

Although, actually, I guess, given enough ghosts, they wouldn't have to be AI controlled for this...

It's a Grasshopper game so the odds of the combat not being terrible are pretty low but it's a great concept.

When he stops swimming through his pile of PS4's, Scrooge McDuck style.

He should definitely team up with Shinji Mikami again. Killer7 was great, but Shadows of the Damned had too much meddling by EA. Mikami also makes fantastic games with campy stories, but if Suda wrote something as good as Killer7 or Flower, Sun, and Rain again, it would be brilliant.

Incidentally, GameTrailers just laid off like 2/3rds of their staff after E3, in the wake of their acquisition by another company, so it's possible we've seen the last of Geoff Doritomann covering E3 on Spike TV.

But based on the amount of coverage E3 got from IGN, Gamespot, Twitch, and even Nintendo and Sony themselves, it's probably not a huge loss other than the sad loss of all the trainwreck potential that Gametrailers always brought themselves.

RIP giraffe with bowtie.

Who bought them? I read about the layoffs earlier on Twitter but I didn't know why that happened.

And I guess that means no more GTTV on Spike? Not that I was a frequent watcher but it was cool to see that kind of stuff on TV every now and then.

While the Council of Dew has been busy as of late, I believe they convene on the next Day of Radicalness in August.

I wonder which name Cardinal Geoff will take. Historical succession would seem to indicate he may take the title His Holiness Pope Dew VII, but he's more of a progressive leader, and this may lead him to choose the title The Most Beatific Pope Doritoman II.
