It apparently isn't. Would you really be surprised if it wasn't? The original article link seen in that tweet (http://www.polygon.com/2015/7/12/8940053/nintendo-president-satoru-iwata-is-dead) is gone too, it redirects to the fixed article now.

edit: Scratch all that. The reason the headline was changed was because "Nintendo president Satoru Iwata is dead" was rude and disrespectful and some kind of idiot decided it was ok to put as a news headline. The crap title is real but the attached pic is in fact fake.

If I had a shitload of money I'd buy the IP and have Obsidian make a superbly written direct sequel to RDT but only if we could get Jake's original VA back (I actually like Jake's VA in this game).

You tell Pat to find another hat to start wearing. I started wearing mine months before him and I need it to cover my balding head more than he needs it for his. Besides i'm taller, i'll just hold it above his reach.

Wrong, gamers want their games out now now now! It's why Ubisoft is having so much trouble with their Assassin's Creed series right now. They just can't match the demand and get their games out fast enough for people.

Actually, now that I think about it, this is in line with everyone's apparent hatred for CoD. Who buys these things?

Your friends are not the majority of the fanbase that buy 1-2 games a year. You and they are not the target audience.

Absolutely! The demand for Assassin's Creed games supercedes that of even Amiibos at this point! Gamers want those things in their hands last week so they could play them yesterday! But, they're only slowly producing one game a year and they're losing so many profits despite sacrificing QA for more games on the shelf.

Between the hat, his "put K' and Iori in everything" sentiment, and his Kyo shirt Pat is reaching new levels of jonesing for a new KoF.

unity and rouge both came out november 11 last year, and by december 31 had 10 million sales combined. codaw was the top selling game in 2014. all these people you talk to are whats called anecdotal evidence and doesnt really represent anything at all, probably because you associate with like minded people. kinda blowing your whole worldview up huh? :wth:

heh, I have been playing a bunch of KoF recently as well. Got 98 in the steam sale, and have been playing that and 13 with a buddy of mine, to the point where he is now eyeballing fightsticks so we can also play Skullgirls.

Also, after playing '98 I can honestly say that Geese Howard and Rugal should be in everything. I did my first Genocide Cutter two days ago and it was loving life changing.

You're paying to go watch a movie, not paying to watch an LP of one, there's a big difference.

I agree with Liam, serious films shouldn't have idiots chatting and laughing about it the whole way through. Goofy movies are the ones that it's fun and OK to make noise in.

Those people payed too and if they want to talk about the movie they're watching during the movie I don't see why this is such an issue. You are not the sole person in the theater and they don't have to care about how you watch the movie just as much as you don't care how they do it. As long as they're not loudly heckling the movie, there shouldn't be much of an issue.

EDIT: Let me add something to this by saying if these people are actively ruining the movie for more people than yourselves they will make it known. I especially think it's weird when someone specifies "laughter" not being appropriate in serious movies when laughter usually comes out of nowhere as a reaction to something that happens. I mean, I can think of a lot of people in the theater who were cracking up at those lovely romance scenes from Avengers 2.

That's really lovely, but that's not everyone that goes to a movie theater. Also I dogpile on Liam because he picks really weird times to have these soapboxes and I just generally like disagreeing with him even when it's a topic I agree on like the Vita.

PiedPiper

Yeah, some people in the theather were laughing at the scene from Django Unchained where dogs were attacking the slave. Another idiot was explaining to his girlfriend what, in his opinion, was really happening in Shutter Island. Which would've been ok, really, if only this dude had a grasp of such concept as whispering.

But no, it turns out I was in the wrong for not liking these people. I guess I should've laughed with them.

I think you guys missed the key detail that the theater place actively seems to encourage it, or at the very least slam anyone including newspapers for calling it out. There's a bad time, and then there's a bad culture for a business.
