Jedi Knight and sith Warrior were so good. Bounty Hunter one was pretty neat as well.

MoP wound up being one of the best expansions tho.

Eh stylized assets aren't necessarily easier or less time consuming than PBR. It's not difficult to make a game look realistic these days at least to a reasonable amount of scrutiny. Also this is a large developer with a lot of funding so EA isn't going to cut corners in the art department with one of their flagship IPs. You also can't just reallocate artists to work on mechanics, these are entirely different departments and the process of hiring/firing workers dynamically doesn't gel well with a production pipeline.

Well when rent is due or stomach is empty, you don't assess the fiscal responsibility of debt you pay the piper and live another day. Some people live paycheck to paycheck and one accident can send them into a death spiral of debt due to no fault of their own.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. If your site doesn't work on Firefox your site doesn't work. As web developers your job is to develop applications for the web not for one specific browser. This goes double for essential services.

MMOs to MOBAs to BR.... On and on and on. Publishers being 2 years too late to a trend and trying to jump on the train after it left the station fucking over their existing fanbase in the process. The MBAs in charge of these decisions should be fired.... Out of a cannon into the sun.

The fact that shrink-wrapped agreements aren't automatically void worldwide is a fucking abomination. No you shouldn't get to push a legally binding contract on me after I paid for the product. It's my property now and if you want to require a license agreement after the sale then I should be able to decline it for a full refund fuck you.

The S5 was IP67 with a removable battery and an SD slot (so don't listen when people say they removed batteries for the waterproofing).

The S6 had no waterproofing, no removable battery and no SD slot.

The S7 brought back the SD slot and had IP68 water resistance but they never returned the removable battery.

Furthermore, if the manufacturer wants to pretend that they're selling you a perpetual license to use the hardware or whatever legal bullshit they came up with on the back of a cocktail napkin between lines of coke then they can't advertise using the words buy, own or anything similar without explicitly indicating in the largest font that you aren't the owner of the product.

One thing that always jumps out to me with each of these is that these videos are all just a sequence of 3 second clips stitched together.

I know all film consists of discrete shots edited into a larger piece but there's something mechanical about these. Like I'm watching a slide show that's just been placed in chronological order.
