Oh look, YouTube did something that upset everybody again. As videos are being flagged as inappropriate for monetization, all eyes are on YouTube’s guidelines for “ad-friendly” content, as well as the crapshoot bots that unpredictably enforce them. Because, y’know, automated systems are great at determining context.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is yet another victim of this industry’s unchecked avarice. It’s an ironic victim at that, given the series’ themes. So, let’s chat about the preorder bullshit and microshenanigans that inevitably dominated the game’s post-launch discussions. Oh… oh Square Enix…
I’m pretty much done with talking about No Man’s Sky (“do a Columbo, do a Columbo”) – oh, one last thing….
No Man’s Sky finally came to PC after a few days of delay to really get it polished and… oh. Oh.
I’ll never understand developers who get so protective of games they haven’t even made.
Overwatch is in the news again, with a loot-flavored event that has made even a lot of the game’s defenders raise their eyebrows. Let’s all just admit that no matter how much you might love Blizzard, it’s still another fee-to-pay peddler at heart.
The return of a familiar (and still angry as ever) Australian “developer.”

Anyway, Link’s not a girl, Zelda isn’t playable, and Nintendo’s reasons for this situation are total bollocks. And that’s my problem. Not the situation. The bollocks. Bonus…

Its announcement video is the most liked trailer on YouTube. Hell, even I’M interested in it. Electronic Arts executives, however, didn’t want it to happen, which is sadly…
YouTube needs to seriously unfuck itself.
http://www.patreon.com/jimquisition http://www.thejimquisition.com Clearance Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Remastered is only available as part of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare’s special edition bundles. This is, obviously, bullshit. It’s also Call of Duty though… y’know?

Consider that your content warning. This video does not even entertain the possibility that the controls for Star Fox Zero are anything other than total garbage trash.
