Deals for Days. Big home savings are happening now.
About the Patents. Nintendo and Sony have the Best Dpads and Microsoft could also have a good Dpad if they wanted to. But they for whatever reason have never really been concerned with the quality of it. With that said the New ones are better. Just still not great. lol.
Thanks for all the news and info, but I hope you can work on your language.
37:00 you can actually like their tweet or respond
if people stop letting a vocal minority dictate what can, or cannot, be said there wouldn't be an issue.. but everyone caves out of fear ๐
it's kinda sad greedy ass devs are killing cloud gaming (or at least making it much harder). i'd never give up my local rig, but it was still a pretty sweet concept
The nonchalant swan booly sin because witch reilly like upon a gorgeous refund. mysterious, sophisticated cook
the comments are still as hateful. the only difference is CENSORSHIP!
SEGA pronounced SAYGA, not SEG-A, it even says it when a game starts up SAYGAAAAAA
LS: that word doesn't even offend me.
I can't be the only one who flashed to Eric from South Park "It doesn't hurt anyone, what's the big deal? F***, f***ity, f***, f***, f***!"
The prison thing sounds fun (for a game) make it someone.
Every time I see Luke I get lost in his eyes ๐ฏ๐๐
voxel destructable environments…. is a real option nowadays! ๐
Shadow.tech is still great
Aquisations
Cloud gaming was always going to be about the benjamins and control of the store front.. Once they had the market it would have been a way to price gouge and the consumer knew it!
Sorry bout your crazy mom! Hahahahahha!!!!
Stadia should become Oasis.
Impossible things? I can play Final Fantasy VX at 1440p 90 fps on my phone over WiFi. Only Shadow PC can do that
why the hell the hell they are still waering that terrible hats?? i mean come on guys …we are all looking shitty because of the situation we are in…but this is ridiculous. To wear a head set on top of this shit…ehhhm yeah …no comments to that
Oh goodness its been over 10 years…. Well, anyway, I never understood the hate even back then.
Yes, simulating being trapped in a prison where the guards are outnumbered 30:1 sounds fun!
I feel like its a antitrust issue. They are already on the Gov radar if they go full force into gaming they risk more legal pressure.
Hey Linus you know when you talked about one of the holy grails of gaming being destruction. You should check out Teardown by Dennis Gustafsson. It's a fully destructable environment with voxels and physics. I honestly think that gets much closer to achieving that holy grail than Minecraft. You can find it on Steam, go have a play ๐
If you want some auto tune on that sing-a-long you can cross feed garage band on a iphone/ipad.
Google Stadia could be a success because nobody can buy graphics cards. I'm going to give it a try.
Good chat. But. Why, for the love of everything that's unholy, would you wear a beanie indoors?.. Such a cringy trend.
Linus: Our audience is a lot nicer
(Immediately insinuates the worst word ever)
Xbox work with 8bitDo is also proof they care about gamers.
