    Minecraft + Morpheus available at Gamestop at the end of Sony's event.

    I would buy the Morpheus so fast if that was true.

    Outlast would look dope on that thing.

    God I love puns.

    In all honesty, I semi-stole it from someone else here on PA. It might have been in this thread. I think their pun was slightly different, but the idea isn't mine.

    At least podcasts predictions are pretty fun and amusing.

    He's awesome, and not racist. The legions of nerds who complain about him do it just because they love to hate. He never claims to know anything for a certainty, GameTrailers just pays him to talk about stuff so he does it. He doesn't take any of it seriously because it's not his real job.

    I don't think you quite understand what a "job" is.
    I laugh at least once in every one of his videos, and he makes constant jokes out of how he predicts things incorrectly, so I continue to be baffled by how outraged people get over him.

    Because we expect better from them? I mean, if you're fine with sideshows and bribery, then that's cool, but I know I deserve better than that.

    Why do you "deserve" better? You're not paying anything,

    I do when I end up buying a shitty game because the game "journalists", who are supposed to be impartial, give it a high score because they were given kickbacks by the publisher.
    If he was as awful as you think he is he wouldn't be making as much as he does.

    Hate to break it to you, but there's money to be made by appealing to the lowest common denominator. What do you think pays Michael Bay's bills?

    He has never, ever claimed to be a professional critic or anyone you should base purchases off. I don't know how or why you ever looked to Pachter for that.

    Working as an analyst has no comparison whatsoever with entertainment and the arts. If he were wrong or a bad analyst, he would not have a job. Simple as that.

    Given Nintendos stance on E3 figurines, I would love to see some released for Mario Kart 8 during E3 that unlock different characters. That would be so awesome.

    I would like that, until the value proposition question pops up on whether it's worth paying x amount for a single character.

    If they were to add a character, some extra car parts and maybe an extra race track, then you would be onto something.

    See the cool thing, at least how Nintendo's pitched it, is that you buy one figurine and it does stuff in a bunch of games. It's not just one extra character in Mario Kart, it's also tilesets in Mario Maker, small trinkets in the next Legend of Zelda, and whatever other small additions they want to put in games. Or this whole venture will flop and Nintendo will drop it like they dropped the vitality sensor.

    I actually didn't know that. That's pretty cool if true.

    However, that would probably only be applicable in games the character would appear then. It's not like you could take a Samus figurine and pop into Mario Kart so she would be a racer with her own kart shaped like her spaceship.

    Then again....what if it did?

    If it's the real Michael McWhertor, he was an editor on Kotaku at least. Might still be - though I think he might've gone to Polygon.

    The best fake rumor I've heard was Giant Bomb insisting Mario Kart would be announced for Xbox One.

    I wish they'd just do a whole hour of bullshit E3 rumors. I'd gladly listen to all of them and would probably hope most came true.

    He's employed by Wedbush Securities as an analyst, he has no "TV Personality" presence outside of GTTV.

    No, I dont really think the Sony list published by Sony is fake. But I am bummed no dancing. And P4 Dancing is the image on Atlus' E3 badges, so it's weird Sony won't have it at the booth...

    Oh I know. atlus says they're showing it so it will be somewhere.

    This should actually be pretty accurate give or take a pixel here and there on the floating beams and the koopa paratroopa (also maybe the coins, but that looks close). And of course the text, which I just fudged :P

    KHII and BBS in HD is a hell of a combo. I'm quite excited.

    But then I saw that December 4th date. Goddammit, Square. :(

    I could see Capcom talking about a new RE.

    They've been pretty quiet about the series since 6 and I know the way they were talking it seemed like they were going to take a serious look at the direction of the series.

    I don't believe that even for a second.

    Not the new RE part, the "back to its roots" part.

    RE6 still made gangbusters for them, didn't it? All the complaints in the world aren't going to have them back-peddle to slower-paced ammo-limited hallways where atmosphere takes priority over action.

    And don't mention Revelations to me. It was a stripped down RE4 more than anything else.

    It sold like 7+ million copies, and was considered a disappointment due to them having something like 800+ employees across the world invested into it.

    So who the fuck knows? There has to be a new RE in development for next-gen, its a coin-flip as to what that game is going to turn out as though.
