Re: Is Steven Avery Guilty? Evidence 'Making a Murderer' Didn't Present

Lou Chou — Mon, 28 Mar 2016 12:34:59 -0000

Wait, at one point in this article you say it was highly unlikely Teresa was killed in the garage and the place was cleaned with bleach, but then in your concluding paragraphs you say you think this did actually happen, because Brendan said so?

Regardless of what Brendan says, does anyone really believe they had the awareness to perfectly clean a garage like that? For that matter, there'd be inconsistencies in parts that had and had not been cleaned.

I would need to believe Brendan and Steven were criminal masterminds to be able to pull something like this off, and for it to completely evade the numerous, extremely qualified eyes that had been working defence on this case, examining every angle.

I've always been a little dubious of them moving under the CBS banner, though. That said, I'm sure Gerstmann had the foresight to ensure some sort of failsafe for the GiantBomb brand.

To me, GT was a forward-thinking entity existing in entirely the wrong context. It's focus on personality-driven content was absolutely on the pulse of what people are looking for more and more now, and definitely falls in line with what makes a success of people on YouTube.

Were GT its own, independent brand, it would be crowd-funded in an instant; it wouldn't just survive, it'd thrive. But, as Jim mentioned, it instead belonged to an overlord who assigned GT an unimpressive number, and who decided to jetison.

It's a sad day when such an enthusiastic and entertaining group of people can be tossed aside. I haven't felt this bad for games coverage since 1UP were hung, drawn, and quartered.

If you're producing content as a hobby, and not a means to pay your bills, I wouldn't feel too depressed about it.

All that matters is the inclusion of Heath Slater. Everyone else is a footnote.

Anyone else annoyed by how they built up this Ethan/Terrorist storyline over a few episodes, and then just let a bunch of kids with no prior storyline or build up fly in and take a dump on it?

I'm cool with the outcome, and that one kid was convincingly messed up, but at least lay a foundation an episode or two before that they're a malevolent presence in Pines.

That's one of the few things I've disliked, she just suddenly became a good guy after they built her up as this menacing, insidious presence. There was no real transition, it just kinda happened. Seemed lazy writing.

It's a sad future where you pay extortionate amounts of money a month for the best internet connection available, and all games seem to favour those piggy-backing their neighbour's WIFI at 1.3MBs down/600KBs up.

I'm surprised George Miller said that. The vivid colours seemed like a very intentional decision to heighten the intensity. I agree it's a cool alternative, but a better movie? Not sure about that.

Re: Rewriting History in Mass Effect 3

Yeah, it's really the principle of the matter rather than the quality of the content. As I mentioned, I've not played the new endings, I just see it all as undermining to the progress gaming narratives have made. Especially since it's happened to what is essentially THE defining narrative experience of the current gen.

Re: EA Sports Season Tickets Launches; Likely Silliest Marketing Gimmick In Recent Memory

As obvious it clearly is that this is some weak ass shit, it'll probably still sell to hundreds of thousands, and be hugely profitable to EA, encouraging them to go a bit further with the "benefits" and limitations they slap on their games. I don't like people some times...

I have this ordered on import (I'm in the UK) but I'm very curious in giving it a playthrough, it does seem to deal with slightly more relative issues than your usual superhuman (space) marine versus aliens/opposing force kinda bullshit. It's about time games at least attempted to go a bit closer to home for their content.

Very cool headshot. Will he have black eyes, though? That shit looks weird. Kinda cool, though.

The more I read about, and reflect upon this game, the more I feel like it didn't need to be an open world experience. The side missions were a novel addition, but between that and driving between story missions, the open world element was pretty much redundant.

Had the experience been a linear series of cases/scenes I would have enjoyed the game more; just following the great story Team Bondi had crafted.

I'm not entirely sure about what he's saying. From the sound of it, this'll be the equivelant to God-mode if you've got someone like Messi or Ronaldo on your team. People will just be holding down sprint and running forward all the time, and because those players can "bounce of tackles" they'll probably just tear through the pitch. I hope that ain't the case, but it sounds like it.

Re: UK Movie Theaters Also Threatening An Alice In Wonderland Ban

This is very interesting, but could someone explain WHY theaters only make money in the last stretch of showing a movie? That was the most enticing part of the story for me, and it isn't explored.

Re: Why EGM Died, Part two

Lou Chou — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 05:20:13 -0000

It sounds more like Ziff doomed EGM than that magazines are fated to become extinct, which is the initial idea I got from the first part of this article. As you said, other companies are conducting their own business okay. it just seems like as soon as Ziff lost grip on things, it all started to avalanche; like EGM was digging a bigger and bigger hole for itself no matter what happened.

I'm wondering whether, in retrospect, there was anyway they could have avoided this? Is there a specific point in the past few years that truly defined the future of EGM? That specific sink or swim moment?
