The situation seems to be that the game was released in a badly bugged state, and also that the early game got off to a slow start. The initial wave of reviews for the big publications were not too…

I tried it, but decided to wait for patching, and DLC that never came. Then just never got round to it. I should give it a proper play. I was kind of put off in the early days, though not because of…

Yeah, exploration in that sense wasn't that great. Perhaps "discovery" is a better way of putting it. I was always intrigued by the possibility of going to new locations, which is exploration of a…

I think what's called American Cheese is a very specific and dubious substance - the FDA calls it “pasteurized processed American cheese product", as it fails to meet the legal definition of cheese….

It's a bit unusual - it's sort of somewhere between a hard cheese like parmesan, and a strong cheddar. So I find it really good for that fine sprinkling of cheese that lifts some meals, like a…

That's a bit of a gamble too, in the sense that we don't know if events would occur the same way again, or if we would replay the campaign again with fresh rolls. Not too much of a gamble, though -…

If I were going to take a bet on a future jump, I'd go a bit further forward. I'll be surprised if we get away without environmental, economic and political breakdown, and quite possibly a nuclear…

Yeah, I'm not as anti-Titanic a lot of folks. I always get something out of Cameron's movies, even if his later ones weren't up to his best work. It's a very clunky, cheesy movie in many ways, but I…

Yeah, I'm sure they went in fully expecting to sink money for a good while before seeing a profit, using massive loss-leaders.
I just wonder if they're presenting the figures in the worst possible…

I'm guessing this comes from that business where Epic was trying to sell microtransactions in mobile Fortnite, bypassing the Apple in-game purchase mechanism, and avoiding their excessive cut. I just…
