    Stardock has set up a direct purchase option for Star Control: Origins and it’s on sale for 50% off to encourage buyers.

    8/8 So any participation by me on my YouTube account now only enriches Google. This is just perfectly indicative of modern society. "We're going to punish you, but we refuse to tell you what you did wrong, because then you might be able to fix it."

    6/X Okay, can I get some information on what's wrong? Of course not.

    5/X So I appeal, pretty hopeful that I'll get reinstated. But of course, I don't.

    4/X From a content perspective, the account is clean as a whistle.

    3/X So I contact Google and use their appeal page. It's been years since this happened, very little has been done on the account since, so I don't see how there can be any weird activity on the account now.

    2/X Needless to say, I have never bought clicks or done anything else untoward on my account, but Google denied my appeal at the time, and I just let the account sit there. But I figured, it's been a few years and maybe I can get the account reinstated.

    1/X So, it's a new year. I thought I might make some new content on YouTube. Maybe finish that StarFlight Let's Play that's been hanging around for almost a decade. The only problem is, years ago, Google disabled ads on my account for "invalid click activity".

    Brevity is the soul of wit, but Jari may be taking it a bit too far with this tweet. This is the New Year's greeting demo from the Finland-based demo group tAAt. Give it a look, and find more of their stuff at !

    This is the douchiest thing Paul and Fred could have possibly done, and in my mind proves that they KNOW they have no case, so they just want to do as much damage to Stardock as possible before a judge ultimately rules against them.

    Spyro Reignited Xbox One Review: This is a near-perfect recreation of the first three Spyro games, all of which were well-designed and very fun. The frame rate isn't stable and load times seem long for such small levels, but these issues don't ruin the overall package. 8.5/10

    Spiderweb Software's games are all on sale on Steam! A great stocking stuffer for the eccentric fan of story-heavy turn-based RPGs in your family. 14 games for cheap!

    Ack! I forgot to mention another awesome thing she did - once Bao comes to life, the sound effects cut out and we only get music. The sound effects don't come back...until she makes the decision to eat Bao. Damn, damn effective.

    "Bao" is one of the best Pixar shorts I've ever seen, and it's the first short directed by a woman. And after that incredibly effective trick, I can't wait to see what Domee Shi does next. I hope they give her a feature.

    And mother and son make up and everything is right in the world. (I was also surprised and pleased to see that in the final montage, Canadian Wife was doing her best to respect and integrate into this culture that she'd married into.)

    (The medium subversion that Shi used to shock us is, by the way, almost identical to that of how the "Would You Kindly" reveal in the original BioShock subverts the idea of player agency. Hi, I'm Anthony and everything I do has to relate back to video games somehow.)

    It was so shocking to me that I actually swore and wondered for a second if this was really a Pixar short - just as Shi intended. Of course, we then see that the Bao sequence was a dream, a metaphor for the mother's relationship with her (flesh and blood) son.
