I will fully admit I haven’t been a fan of BioWare’s stuff since maybe 2013, but the company produced some legendary games that changed the industry for the better. It’s astonishing how EA mismanaged the company after the success of Mass Effect.

BREAKING: Electronic Arts is cutting 400 jobs and shutting down BioWare, the legendary development studio behind Dragon Age and Mass Effect. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Don't let billionaires convince you slop is the future. They're used to managing & directing, not making things themselves. Of course they can't see the difference. They don't understand your love for the craft. Keep making personal, beautiful games. You've got my support 💖

There is no way “Hope” is a two and a half hour movie with no ending. I refuse to believe that. Why not just go full hog and make it three hours? All that build up for nothing in the end.

I have no intention of seeing Street Fighter in theaters because of Andrew Schulz, but early reviews are claiming Mortal Kombat 2 was a better film. If that's true, then Street Fighter must be absolute dog shit because I found MK2 to be one of the worst video game adaptations in a long time.

Big news for F-Zero GX (credit to bstest4he on twitter): we have found cheat codes to unlock everything in the game, including the elusive gold parts that were previously JP-arcade event locked! Though there are a couple of caveats.

The cheat codes, entered at Customize -> F-Zero Shop, all directions must be performed using the Dpad:

All AX Courses Unlocked: X Y < > Z Z > < Y X Z Z Y Y > > >
Dark Schneider Unlocked: Z Z Z X X X X Y Y < < > > > Y Y
All AX Machines Unlocked: X X < > Y Z Z Y < > X < > Z X > < Y Y

Gold Parts (must be performed with 4 controllers simultaneously):
Thunderstorm parts: X Z Y Z X Z Y X
El Dorado parts: X > X Z Y < < Z
Chrono Symphony parts: < > Z > < X > Z
Bahamut parts: Y Y Z > < Z X Y
Gladiator parts: > Z X < < > Z XThe gold machine parts, previously unavailable outside of participating in JP-exclusive AX events or by hacking

My thoughts on AI coding are that I do not care if it's good or bad at what it does, I do not care about how "useful" it is for "simple and/or repetitive tasks"... I do not care about those things because the human costs matter far more than any convenience the world rape machine could ever provide.

With a new month upon as, I’d like to remind everyone that I’m still looking for work in both film and games criticism. I would love to do reviews, videos, op/eds, or even interviews. I have plenty of time on my hands to give you great coverage.

While I am very much enjoying 007 First Light, I really need to know how reviewers were giving this 8s, 9s, or even 10s. It’s a really well done throwback to 360 era action games with a touch more freedom in options, but it’s considerably more limited than the Hitman titles.
