by Sato
Dsider

So if you look at Shinya's cap there, the text on it is "GET SMOKED". It drew quite a reaction from twitch chat on the stream I was watching the announcements through, and I'm sure once it's more widely known among the fanbase you'll be seeing it a lot.

Anyway, Hifumi is looking pretty devastating.

Persona 5's waifu wars just reached its next level with an introduction of seven new "Cooperation Characters," the game's own version of Social Links.

Another Day, Another Alarmist Warning Against Violent Games

by Cecilia D'Anastasio
Dsider

Like they said, it's unfortunate that this is the same ignorant shit as always, but does push the single good idea of more parental involvement in what kids consume. It should ALWAYS be up to the parents first and foremost, the creators do not need to be babysitting their children for them.

Today, the American Academy of Pediatrics published a powerful statement about the effects of “virtual violence” on children that media psychologists are describing as disingenuous.

Animation quality doesn't look as good as the cutscenes from the game, but that's to be expected at this point since it's on TV and not the big screen.

Damn, another shittastic redesign. I can honestly get behind just about every aspect of this game EXCEPT for the character designs. That Shang Tsung wannabe in the trailer looks like garbage too.

That's Not How Pokémon Go Works, Michael Page

Man that gif looked like a shop, but this apparently actually happened.

Contrary to Michael “Venom” Page’s demonstration at tonight’s Bellator MMA match indicates, one does not need to jump knee their Pokémon in the face before catching them in Pokémon Go. Though I suppose it wouldn’t hurt. Or it would. A lot.

Look, I'm glad that they reacted so quickly to this threat, but what about the EVEN MORE SERIOUS ONES before this that aren't related to this current fad? This is far from the first time someone's threatened serious violence over failbook.

EVO 2016's Super Smash Bros. Melee Entrants Nearly Equal Smash 4's

Nintendo released Super Smash Bros. Melee 15 years ago on a console that sold less than its competitors, the PlayStation 2 and the Xbox.

The Struggle To Bring More Women Into Game Development

by Cecilia D'Anastasio
Dsider

What I was trying to touch on earlier, was that we'd never get an anime more in this vein

Gary Gygax, biological determinist and creator of Dungeons & Dragons, once told a reporter for Icon magazine that “gaming in general is a male thing... Everybody who’s tried to design a game to interest a large female audience has failed. And I think that has to do with the different thinking processes of men and women.”

I played this at PAX, such a wonderful presentation but I ended up not having any fun.

Necropolis is a cool-looking game from cool developers that looks cool sitting atop Steam’s top sellers list. It’s got the feel of a surefire hit. It’s also really not very good at all.
