Probably picked it up from other people they killed.

Sort of. They used to have just a contributor site but that's been split off into https://tay.kinja.com/
Talk Amongst Yourselves, which is Nu-Gawker's kinja based reader community. Services all their sites (like AV club) so not just gaming content. They do feature articles from there sometimes or at least used to, not sure how often it they do it these days.
So as I understand it, Deus Ex: Human Revolution has a Director's Cut that integrates the Missing Link DLC. Does buying the DLC and starting the game with the DLC downloaded give you the same effect as playing the Director's Cut? I ask because I bought Human Revolution on sale for 3 dollars, and now the Director's Cut is on sale for 8, while the DLC is 6. Is buying the DLC and downloading it equivalent to buying the Director's Cut?
EDIT: Actually nevermind, the Director's Cut is 5 dollars. I should just buy that. 3 bucks down the drain! (Unless I shouldn't buy the Director's Cut...?)

I'm looking to buy a headset for the PS4 but I was wondering if those usually relay the game audio aswell or only the chat audio like the earpiece that comes with the PS4?
Because most of them seem to have a cable length of about 1,5m which I guess if for plugging directly into the controller and I'm not sure if that's picking up game audio as well?
Thanks!

You can change the behaviour for the PS4 headset in the overlay menu (hold PS button) so that it can send chat or all audio. I have a headset which separates chat through the link to the controller and main audio through the optical output (so I set it to chat only when I'm using that) and a standard set of cheap earbuds where I set it to all audio.
So you should be able to choose regardless of what headset you pick up.

I've heard it said that Nintendo officially banned Christian games from being released for the NES, but allowed Wisdom Tree/Color Dreams to release their unlicensed Christian game cartridges so they could get brownie points and no bad press from the Christian community. The thing is:
Why did they just not allow games from any religious affiliation to be released? That way they could say that they don't favor any religion; it just so happens that most of the religious games on the system are Christian. It's the same way with a lot of things in the modern-day USA.

Should I take the replies in this thread to mean that Toby Fox probably isn't interested in having discussions with rando fans?

So here's a question that might lead to me taking on a stupidly big project... and there's a simpler Stupid Gaming Question at the end that might be an easier thing to answer:
I'm currently playing - and rather enjoying - the original Forza Motorsport, but one random aside cropped up at one point: on racing the Laguna Seca track there, it struck me that I was sure that a very old game - we're talking ZX Spectrum-era - had Laguna Seca as a track as well; try as I might, though, I couldn't find it.
But that got me thinking of an aside, which is that there's now an awful lot of real-world tracks that have had representation that spans years and years of gaming. For instance, Silverstone:
Full Throttle:
Revs:
F1GP:
Forza Motorsport:
Gran Turismo 6:
...and I was wondering if there was any track-centric database of racing games collating where tracks appear in multiple games through the years, accentuating how their representation evolves over time. Often you can find that information for a single game (for instance, here's the Wiki page for Silverstone as it's appeared in Forza over the years) but I haven't seen anything that tracks the whole of gaming.
There is a corollary question to this, and it's about tracks that aren't real: Specifically, Mario Kart. Again, there's a great many instances where there are updated versions of classic Mario Kart tracks in newer releases, and even tracks based on the idea of F-Zero tracks (but being, as far as I'm aware, wholly original tracks) - but there's one interesting occurrence the other way, Rainbow Road 64:
Mario Kart 64:
F-Zero X:
Can anyone think of another example of an original, fictional track guesting in a game outside its original franchise?

How were you able to transport from one place to another using those machines when during an ending Yorha Bunker was overtaken by virus and seemingly destroyed/abandoned. How did it worked in the first place? Were there empty Android units always present in those machine which can download the data from Bunker when transporting making them the new 2B/9S/XX
A better question is that I'm not sure whether to take Toby not responding to that tweet I sent in December asking "Is this the correct email" to mean
1. He didn't see the tweet, so I should try again or
2. He saw it and chose to ignore it, meaning I'd be wrong to tweet him again
It really seems like a 50/50 thing. Advice here? I wasn't trying to just fanboy over him, I was thinking of having a conversation about how the religious culture he grew up in affected some seemingly-related elements in his games.
I got a stupid, nerdy hypothetical going on in my head
What would happen if Max Payne came across Michael, Trevor, Franklin. Would he like and sympathize with them or dislike/hate them. What would he think of them. Would he go after them?

I plugged my GBA SP into the charger because it was getting low on juice, and the orange charge light on the side stayed on for a second before shutting off. I let it sit for a few, but it doesn't appear to be retaining a charge.
I use it frequently, so is it possible that the internal battery is dead, or am I looking at having to replace the charger? Anyone know? A cursory Google search turns up nothing.

You should not think too hard about this. Any person who goes mainstream is hard to reach :)
Imagine the amount of emails, tweets and messages he gets everyday.
He probably is like any famous person and has like 3 phones and many many emails.
Ok here's a stupid question: is there a way to access the PS4 Share menu, without an actual Share button on the controller? I can only find the Share settings menu under Settings, not the actual menu to start streaming/take a screenshot.
I'm playing MK11 on PS4 with an old 360 MadCatz TE via a Brooks converter. I've already looked at the accessibility menu for configuring the buttons, but the Share button isn't listed there.

I have a question: I'm looking for a game that was announced during E3 2018 or 2017, I don't know which conference. It was a stealth sandbox game on a spacestation. Or maybe not. I think it was played from an first-person perspective. In my memory, everything was kid of yellow-ish and it looked very stylized but rather simple. It was not procedurally generated but some kind of rougelite. I think. I don't know.
But I remember the developer was kind of famous and everyone went crazy, but I never heard of him. It was indie. Am I crazy? Does someone remember this game? Does this game really exist?

I remember a similar game but I don't know what it was called, you're definitely not crazy!
I really want one of these.
I have no idea how i would go about building one buying one or whatever.
Sudoku myself?

Which are the best for FF7 PC? (Steam version). I've seen a soundtrack mod to get the proper PS1 OST and a FMV full resolution mod, but some other threads make me think the Steam version got these natively fixed in an update (haven't bought it yet to test it).
Does anybody else here know who the announcer is for R/C Stunt Copter (PS1 game made by Shiny)? Dude was a total smart ass, annoying yet still funny as hell.
Cash here (UK).
Your first pronunciation is used for cachet, but I think both words might have the same spelling/origin in French.
So, does anybody know when The House in Fata Morgana for PS4 and Vita is supposed to come out?
It was meant to be released in Q1, but it is still nowhere to be found.

Charles Bloomer, he was the project lead and also wrote the script. He's mainly a visual fx artist.
Wow, I thought it was Dave Perry for some reason. I've been dying to know who that was, thanks!
So, uhm...
Game comes out on both PS4, Xbox One and Switch. Only the latter is advertised, accompanied by a review for the PS4 version no less. I see this happen a lot. What gives?

Is there a thread here for amateur bloggers to share their content, discuss and get criticisms? I would like to read other peoples' blogs and learn new writing styles etc and just have in-depth discussions on video games that might not be possible in normal threads.
For example, I am working on two posts right now: my thoughts on Bloodborne as someone who has never played a FROM game ever and the other post is on some ideas that I think would be interesting for the next Persona 6 game. I don't think either of these deserve threads but if there was a place for people like me to just talk about such things at length, I think it would be really cool.

I see that there was a thing called My PS4 Life released by Sony at the end of last year that collated some of your personal stats on PS4 like most played games and how many hours and best trophies but it doesn't seem to be available any more. Is there anywhere else I can find info like this?
Having a weird Xbox controller/headset issue:
- Headset speaker/headphone works, microphone does not
- The 'mute' button functions (orange light)
- The 'mute microphone' option still appears while in a party
- No firmware update available
- Checked privacy settings etc and seems fine
- Works fine on a different controller (my broken one...)
- It's an official Xbox headset that attaches to the bottom of the controller - not a 3.5mm one
- The controller came with my X and the one that works (the broken one) came with my original one
Anyone know what's gan on?

What is it called when video games back in the day would have that little intro trailer/ingame gameplay video that would begin when you didnt press start or anything and left the game afk at the title screen for a bit. Would always be a ritual of mine when the first time I ever booted up the game was to let it wait at the title screen for like a minute and hope that it would do something. Did that have an official name or anything.
Something like this for instance from Chrono Cross https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aoPQQsDYZU
Only reason I ask is I was having some nostalgia pangs and was looking for the one for FF:Tactics on PSX, I remember it had like a job class trailer which I found, but for the life of me, I couldnt find the other one that showed a few cool gameplay bits. Remember it was a cool animation of a knight or something side stepping or stabbing another character.

Hey thanks, I searched that in youtube and found the video, was exactly what I was looking for.
What is the best way to use Headphones with a standard 3.5mm with a PS4? I want to hook up PS4 to my computer monitor and use my headphones for audio.
Really? I thought it would only work for the mic audio.
Edit:
You are right! Thanks! Found this:
For the PlayStation 4, you can just use a regular set of 3.5mm headphones to hear game audio through the port on the DualShock 4.
To do so, from the PS menu, go to Settings > Devices > Audio Devices > output to Headphones > With your headphones plugged in select "All Audio" as opposed to "Chat Audio." You can also adjust the volume from Audio Devices > Volume Control (Headphones).
Yup, works like a charm. Once you're all connected the PS overlay has most of those options too (hold the PS button).
Do any of the recent 2D Mario games allow for customised controls, like beyond switching AX to BY or whatever? Specifically interested in Mario Maker.
I'd love to get the new'un, but I found NSMB Deluxe unplayable with sprint and jump on face buttons when using a shoulder button to sprint would make significantly more sense. Nintendo seem quite stubborn about this control scheme though, so I wondered if I'm onto a loser pre-ordering this. Very odd of Nintendo of all companies not to try and make these games more accessible, controls-wise!

Unplayable? Y to run, B to jump. Allows you to use your thumb in a natural position, and without having to move it to perform both. Then you can use shoulder buttons for other actions.
I appreciate it works for some people, just not me. My thumb doesn't feel natural at all playing that way.
