"state something completely random time!"

[QuickSciFi]

In their attempt to stay relevant, themselves and their topics, Youtubers are starting to include way too much information on the title description of their Review videos of brand new games. Things like "[Insert game title] too Boring?" or "[Insert game title] Fun but not Perfect" or "[Insert game title] not worth it". Clickbait that, to said Youtubers, is "arguably so", but to me, it's downright annoying.

If there is one thing I hate more than spoilers of brand new games on Youtube, it's heavily-opinionated reviews of said brand new games. Especially AAA, story-based titles that a huge number of folks have been waiting years for, just like the lucky Youtubers who got early access, only to be ruined by a heavily-opinionated notion that will never escape you throughout the entirety of said game. It's like having a commentator ringing in your ear while watching your most-anticipated film in a long time telling you to "watch out for a specific point in the story that is definitely going to make you [insert emotional response]". Or like waiting for your delicious gourmet plate of [insert your favorite dish], only to be spoiled by some asshole telling you how much they can't stand the flavor or the texture or [insert characteristc].

It's manners. Pure and simple. I'm genuinely happy you got to play your game early. Just don't ruin the experience for others before they can play it, or worse, before the game even comes out.

I know what you mean, Quick. One of my favorite channels is Jirard “The Completionist.” I’ve had to avoid several of his episodes because he often releases a video the moment the game becomes available.

That reminds me of a complaint I have of some review channels and sites and this applies to basically to basically everything. Instead of comprehensive detailed complete reviews too many people doing this seem more concerned with writing up a quick review on release day or within a couple days of that. Usually I end up looking at user reviews or tech forums to get a good idea of what the product is like.

That’s why Jeremy Parish is my favorite reviewer - he can write a four-page spread on anything.

I came across an article relating to Phillip Nitschke — who’s now known affectionately as “Dr. Death.” by his peers.
And he has invented this death type of contraption- allowing each person that sits inside the freedom to quietly slip away.
That gif I posted was the first thing that came to mind when I read that piece. lol

Its sad that these days D-Pads like this are acceptable.

The location of the Xbox One D Pad is attrocious. It's as useful as a Gamecube D-Pad. I have defaulted to the left analog stick when playing Cuphead.

And the location of the left Dual Shock analog stick is atrocious.

Mark III games on a SNES. Who'd a thunk it.

Hey, QuickSciFi. Quick question about The Hobbit Trilogy on BlueRay; how many version releases are there and which is the best one to get? Looking for HFR (48fps) and if there's a toggle option between extended and theater cut on same disk?

Its sad that these days D-Pads like this are acceptable.

But it looks like rubber band grinding has stayed the same as ever.





... CHEATER!!!!!

Anyone else ever indulge in any risky console behaviour? I was, for example, just playing my Nomad in the bath.
