So a new game called Tiny Brains hit the PS4 today. It is apparently a puzzle game with some cool looking visuals. I'm going to fire it up tonight at 9:00pm PST. That's about a half hour from right now. This is my first time playing it or even seeing it and I'll go ahead and stream my session.

The Child’s play Charity dinner/auction is coming up on Thursday and I wanted to mention one of the items I donated this year.

It’s Cyber Monday! We’ve speculated that tomorrow could be Tech Tuesday followed by Web-sday, Internet Thursday and Wi-Friday.

I was surprised to learn that Gabriel's experience with Ghosts mirrored my own, because it's not like he was bad at it before, yet he's still feeling the energizing benefits of the platform shift. There are a couple things going on, though, and I know what the other ones are now.

The day after Thanksgiving means two things. One: It is legal to listen to Christmas music. Two: Black Friday deals! So what can you expect from PA on this blackest of Fridays?

We've had a few reports that Gabriel's "drivatar" has modelled him exquisitely, in every particular; that's been true in my own experience also. He tells me that he subscribes to the Days Of Thunder school of motorsport, where "rubbing IS racing." And then he flips down an imaginary visor…?

It looks like I’m probably the opposite of Tycho here. I find myself preferring the PS4 controller. He has spent his nights playing XBox One and I’ve spent mine on the Playstation. That’s not to say that I dislike the Xbox, I’m just having a better time on the PS4 right now.

The "Intense Heat" generated by these PS4 streams isn't even predictable, per se. Predictability implies that we can look at the data and, spurred by their factual constellation, arrive at a certain conclusion. But we don't need to look that hard. We're talking about cameras and young people. We're not gonna need a graphing calculator.

Ryse: Son Of Rome is one of those games where you dice and julienne human beings until you earn enough XP to unlock the brunoise techniques seen in the finer houses. It is a lot of things, and rude is definitely one of them.

The conduits for industry commentary on hardware have been fairly reasonable, but the rest of the dialogue is fucking goofed.

I’ve had almost a week with my PS4 now and I thought I share some quick impressions with you guys. I’ll start with the games.

Okay. So, chkdsk:

Not Dessert Bus! That is a totally different bus.

I found it interesting, maybe you will too. Good God, this whole thing has turned out weird.

My co-conspirator Mork Krahalo one hundred percent cannot explain what it is that keeps he and his son affixed to Super Motherload. He has described it to Kara and I on more than one occasion, with mixed results, to the extent that now we understand what on some level but not why.

Today is a big day for PA merchandise. All of our 15 year anniversary stuff goes on sale today at 2pm PST. You can see a full list of what’s going to be available in this post right here. There are only 2000 of the anniversary pins so if you want one of those I suggest being ready right at 2pm. The Hanna pin was a run of 1000 and sold out in about 15 minutes.
