During a press conference on Wednesday, Smith said Microsoft has launched a formal investigation into Israel’s reported use of Azure. “We are committed to ensuring that our human rights principles and our contractual terms of service are upheld in the Middle East,” he said.

What a load.

Who the fuck even wants this?

Thank goodness that telling people they cannot have something means that they immediately comply rather than doing everything in their power to circumvent the obstacles you put in front of them.

Although subtle, there is a very slight difference between “right wing party drifting even further to the right to court voters sympathetic to fascism to line the pockets of themselves and their friends” and “firmly centrist but pretending not to be party drifting even further to the right to court voters sympathetic to fascism to line the pockets of themselves and their friends”.

Not super keen on the bombardment of cutscenes so far in 4, but it’s still pretty neat.

This isn’t a spoiler but I need to warn you: the final cutscene is 40 minutes long with no break/checkpoint and you can only save your game after, not before or during. Literally everyone who goes into the game blind ends up trapped there late at night wanting to go to bed.

Possibly one of the best soundtracks of all time.

More testing of what? How to do basic market research so you don’t release a full priced game in a space where the thriving competitors are free to play?

“Land of the free”

I haven’t tried with a controller yet, I’m still wicked early in the game because I started to feel overwhelmed and a little obsessive. Need to make sure I can jump back into it at a time where I won’t forget to eat or drink!

You’d run faster with your knife out.

It really depends on the kind of shooter and the average caffeine intake of the people playing it. Works great in Titanfall but doesn’t make sense for Battlefield.

They could have taken out “sweaty” and kept the same meaning but that probably wouldn’t have driven the same engagement.

You should definitely consider playing Hell Let Loose!

Smells as bad as it sounds.

For me, it’s crashing on take-off on Tobruk which I don’t think we’ll ever get back.

gently cooking the surrounding area.

As in it’s slightly but not perceptively warmer or more like “oh god, we’re all going to die”?

With it being Japan, I’m more surprised that it wasn’t a fax machine.
