There's a Humble Telltale bundle going on at the moment that has basically every game you'd want from them for $12.  Having played none of their games, I'm definitely getting this.  I figure most of you here own a fair share of their titles already, but thought I'd post it nontheless.

Oculus Rift data sharing policies challenged by US senator mcvuk.com

Seems like Facebook is learning Oculus a thing or two, with the Rift tracking what you're looking at in VR and sending it back to Oculus' servers all the time.  Oculus has already stated it's for marketing purposes.  I shall hereby predict that 'boobs' will be the most looked at asset in VR, closely followed by 'ass'.  Gentlemen, brace yourselves for never seen before amounts of advertising containing boobs and asses.

Waiting around for a furniture delivery is boring as fuck.

I love how NeoGaf keep trying to spin how 12% of retail titles have generated 75% of retail revenue thing into a positive. This console market is fucked.

It is good. For the mega-publishers.

I cannot fucking wait until I am done with Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze. Fuck this game...its just too frustrating. Maybe I'm just not into these types of old school die die die platformers anymore, but I find this game 10 times more frustrating than something like Dark Souls. In DS when you die and have to trek through an area again, it doesn't feel like a chore. Tropical Freeze does....and I nearly snapped my Pro Pad in half more than once. This last world is just frustration to the max.

Fuck you, Retro Studios.

Harder than the Wii game?

Here are some rumours from a confirmed source on GAF about the NX.

Oh wait,

here

.........assholes.

So IndieGamerChick was right

IndieGamerChick is reporting some rumors that she's heard regarding NX. She runs the website IndieGamerChick.com.

On NX's power...

Guys, I don't know anything about NX's inputs except that there will be more than one option. I was clued in about it being powerful.

All I know is that "more powerful than PS4/Xbone" is *technically* accurate, that it's easy to develop for and optimized for gaming.

The controller reports are to the best of my knowledge bogus. The horsepower rumors are true.

I complained for years about the Wii U's horsepower being the reason it failed, and a couple people clued me in that NX was powerful.

On Indie developers...

Hopefully, fingers crossed, I'll have something to say before E3 about how Nintendo will be handling indies on NX.

I do know. I just haven't been given permission to say. Face I made when I heard Nintendo's plans for indies. Make what you will.

Regarding controller inputs and control methods.

Guys, I don't know anything about NX's inputs except that there will be more than one option. I was clued in about it being powerful.

I should clarify that. I was told there is "more than one way to control NX." Not that there are multiple inputs.

What's the significance of the fake Metroid pic from years ago? Pipe dreaming?

So I don't recommend buying furniture from Amazon....Robio was right.

I got my new couch, its great and all....but it took two weeks to get it and the best part, get this.....ONE GUY came with it. One. Fucking. Guy.

I had to help this guy deliver my couch, basically. I said to him holy shit man I expected two or three guys doing this, and he laughed and said well you how it is, corporate america.....have one guy do the job of three and save every penny. I mean I couldn't believe it....if I wasn't home and I had my girlfriend or my mother or someone watching for it the guy would have been fucked. Or I would have been, with the couch waiting for me outside when I got home provided nobody stole it.

Ridiculous.

Latest NX rumours sound pretty good. The NX version of Zelda is a no brainer for me but I'd also be very interested in buying an NX version of Smash and some other games but no Splatoon NX for me though.

How so?

PS4 -> PS4.5 (really PS5)

Xbox 1 -> Xbox 1.5 (really Xbox 2)

I see people in the NX thread claiming its already outdated due to the PS4K. How so?

Even assuming the PS4K is real, how do people know its more powerful than the NX if the NX itself is "significantly" more powerful than PS4? Wouldn't that just put them on equal ground?
