I've mentioned this elsewhere, but there were similar shenanigans with Miranda Lawson / Yvonne Strahovski and the whole rule34 scene with Mass Effect.
I wouldn't be pleased, were I in Ellen Page's shoes, but I wouldn't be surprised by it. I agree that it is one step beyond photoshopping, but no more than that. The internet has provided examples for such behavior over and over.
A small blurb for Greg Tito...the Blade Runner adventure game for PC back in the day was actually quite good (Westwood I think?).
The only decent Alien's related game was the old coin-op brawler (AvP) back in the 90's. If they ever make a true Alien survival horror game, it'd be good, but Jim covered that story, and it ain't pretty.
Also in total agreement with Greg on that GTA review. However, I love Saint's 2-4, both for story and the sense of fun.

I guess this must be the spooky Halloween edition since all I get is a loop of people disjointedly talking about smurfs for an hour. Either the feed is messed up, or I'm having an acid flashback.
So is this still messed up? Will we get a fix or will we have to skip this one? When a senior editor is on it, I'd expect something like this to be fixed quicker, tbh

The issue regarding the RSS feed and iTunes download of the podcast are now fixed; the problem was larger than we thought so our IT team had to deploy some extra fancy tech-wizardry to solve it. We apologize for the inconvenience!Eleima said:I just redownloaded it, and same issue. It's Thursday and this still isn't fixed, how disappointing.
Sorry, but there is no argument with TotalBiscuit issue. It's his job to critique. That's what he does. The job of the developer is to make a game. If they fail, it is because they did a bad job, not because someone gave you bad press. That bad press was justified, by the way. Game is incredibly bad and broken. So if they were to lose their livelihood, all they have to blame is themselves, not a critic who simply did his job. Why are you even considering this? What those devs did was absolutely unacceptable. I would go as far as say that livelihood of making games should be taken away from them. I dont want more scum occupying gaming industry.
Sorry to be late to the party. but I just listened to this podcast.
I want to point out that in the original AVP comic (printed around 1990) a predator (Dechande???) does in fact befriend a human female who is marked by him. That was simply referenced in the movie. Movie was meh, but the comic was great!
