That sounds right. I used to buy a ton even before the rebranding. Looking now, they have a bundle that has Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen (currently $30 on Steam) for $20 with 32 other games, most notably Devil May Cry 4, which is still more expensive on Steam than the bundle. Crazy.

Fanatical, or whatever they used to be called had rediculous bundles and is the reason why have have almost 1000 games on my account. There were times that I would be interested in one game, and it was cheaper to buy the bundle from them than the one game on it's own from Steam.

I upgraded to the OLED model when it came out. The screen looks much nicer, has a faster refresh and longer battery life. I definitely recommend it over the original, but it is a steep price when you already have one that works fine.

Yeah, I have to wrap up what I'm working on so that I can be available for the "quick meeting" which usually means I'm doing nothing for 15-20 minutes as I can't get started on anything else. If I'm caught not doing well, I get in trouble for the productivity, so I have to pretend.

When the 5-10 minute meeting runs closer to 45, I'm out an hour I could have been working.

Not the end of the world, but when we have these at least once, if not twice a day...

1 can, sure.

2 cans, maybe.

But when I see some asshole load up a cart and start booking it towards the nearest fire door? Yeah, I'm stopping you.

256gb of storage just so I can find the exact degenerate porn video I'm looking to watch again from 5-6 months ago?

There's an road with an intersection exactly like this that I commute to work on everyday, with the only difference being that it has a 35 mph limit.

Upon reflection though, when I have been in the leftmost car's position, I have never ever turned left onto the three lane road. Still though, this road is not usually busy and you can easily see over the road division.

I have seen people floor it just barely in front of me when they turn to the left though, but that's just because they're impatient, not because someone waved them on.

How can they just kick her out? Don't they have to go through an eviction process? Does she not have squatters' rights?

22 billion is just a drop in the bucket to the Committee of 300 on their path to world domination.

"Xbox...not a platform for fans of Japanese games".

Are people really surprised by this?

What big Japanese games have ever been exclusively for Xbox?

Blue Dragon? Lost Odyssey? Both of which would have been more successful on Playstation, or at the very least whatever Nintendo console was relevant then.

Honestly, it just a bad time to be a fan of Japanese games in general.

No one in Japan has an Xbox and the vast majority of people outside of Japan with one didn't buy it to play anything Japanese (nor have they ever).

Anything getting released on Playstation out of Japan is getting censored one way or another. Anything weird or crazy or violent or sexual is fine in Western developed games, but when it comes to Asian ones, then it's too much. It's almost as if Sony hates Asians.

Nintendo's hardware is so old, you'll be lucky to get more that 20 FPS on anything multiplatform, and no one wants to make anything exclusive for it because they have to compete against Nintendo.

And if it's on PC, it's either a terrible console port or isn't made because no one in Japan games on PC.
