They'll skip 9 as that seems to be Kryptonite to tech. Both Microsoft and Apple decided to skip straight from 8 to 10 with Windows and iPhone respectively.

Which is weird because they don't seem to understand a lot of the appeal of Minecraft and tend to boil it down to the aesthetic. When seeing talk of Minecraft dungeons, I was amazed that there was no dungeon crafting tool. Seems like it would have added a ton of value to a game and made it far more related to a game about... crafting.

In no particular order:

Metal Gear Rising Revengence

Psychonauts 1

Bladed Fury

Ori and the Blind Forest

Titanfall 2

OneShot

Undertale

Unpacking

Portal/Portal 2

Bastion/Transistor

Any member of the Shadowrun RPG trilogy

Little Inferno

Planetarian

There's nothing wrong with enjoying a game for a long time or a forever game. If it bothers you, try occasionally hitting a small game through to the end for a low statues way to get more used to completing something.

All of the network features, to my knowledge

I expect a large amount of this is the disastrous Xbox One launch as it was an exclusive there for a while. The PC release having features stripped didn't help, but I imagine the idea of investing additional money at that point felt like throwing good money after bad. I mainly hope that Insomniac doesn't become just a Marvel studio, though.

Not as frequent in posting as he used to be, but Todd in the Shadows is a pop music reviewer who also makes interesting videos talking about the careers and context of one hit wonders and career killing albums.

Every day.

While I'm walking/commuting, I have my headphones in and am listening to something, be it music, podcasts, or audiobooks. Even on days I don't have anywhere to go I'll go on a walk for about an hour and will be listening to something the whole time. I'd buy a phone without a camera before I bought one without a headphone jack.

They're probably waiting for The Last of Us Remastered Remastered for that

If the number was high Sweeney wouldn't shut up about it, so we can guess it is low.

Every time I think about going back to this game I remember that so much of it is walled off. Hard pass every time.

A Sonic the Hedgehog game? How would that even work? He's too fast I say!

Not who you asked, but I also refuse to buy a phone without a headphone jack. I am constantly listening to music/podcasts/audiobooks on my phone while out and greatly prefer using wired headphones over wireless for a number of reasons-

-Bluetooth can be finicky in connection. No matter the pair I've used, just the act of walking can make the connection falter at times and there's no way to fix it

-Bluetooth headphones have a much worse cost/performance ratio than wired when it comes to sound quality.

-I use the mic when taking calls and even a cheap wired mic is dramatically better than any bluetooth one

-Wired headphones don't have a battery. This is huge for me. I hate, hate, hate it when caught out and my headphones run out of battery. Additionally, batteries put a life span on electronics that I like not having to think about with my headphones.

-Simplicity. If I want to use my headphones, I plug them in. If I don't, I unplug them. I can quickly switch to a new device when I want to use them on something else. I don't have to think about what they are paired with at any time or fiddle with it when swapping devices

-Small case, but I like that when I need to take my headphones out for a bit, I can just ease one out and leave it wrapped around my ear rather than deal with the case just to talk to a cashier

Unfortunately, creative industries are notoriously difficult to get into and so anything that will help someone "get their foot in the door" will seem attractive to those who dream of getting in.

I've tried to start it a few times but have a harder time wrapping my head around it than similar games. Feel like the tutorial could be a bit more comprehensive for all the stuff you can do for dummies like me

I hope these are good games. Sega has been sitting on so many beloved series that still have tons of potential. Even the great Streets of Rage 4 didn't seem to get them off their asses.

For a small moment of being uncritical, I loved hearing the old Sega call again.

It wasn't great, but expecting great from this would be like expecting actual game industry insights from E3 in the latter half of its life. They've been slowly easing out of some of the egregious things they do, even, like advertising 'robots'

I will say that some of the speeches were extremely rushed for the amount of fluff they have in there, and I didn't care for all the rapid fire "no one cares about these" awards. I'd actually like more expounding on some of them, like talk more about game soundtracks, audio design, accessibility, and "impact" in their categories. You could probably fit this in just from cutting out each time someone said 'world premiere.'

They've succeeded in at least giving 'Game of the Year' a point of reference, even if every game in the world can get a Game of the Year edition. They'll have to try much harder if they want it to be the prestigious event they're dressing up as.

The fact that CoD had ads later in the show made it all the sweeter

This was back in 2007-2008 ish. I believe the Ubuntu version was feisty fox at the time, if that helps.

What killed my interest in Linux in highschool. Kept trying to get Ubuntu working but couldn't get the internet to work for anything. Given that every help guide boiled down to "Go to this website and download x" and I didn't have internet because... no wifi, I ended up getting frustrated enough to quit the whole thing. Maybe someday.
