Microtransactions account for nearly half of ‘GTA’ publisher Take-Two’s goddamn revenue
Games as services, bay-bee! Games as fucking transaction machines, bay-bee! Even if you hate both of these models, you better get used to them. ‘Cause they’re the goddamn profit engines for countless gaming companies, such as Take-Two.

‘Metal Gear Solid’ movie coming from the ‘Kong: Skull Island’ writer and director. Infinite exclamation points!
The dudes behind Kong Skull: Island are teaming-up once again to tackle another beast. The duo, whose flick Kong: Skull Island was pretty fucking rad, are taking a stab at adapting Metal Gear Solid.
‘Grand Theft Auto V’ is now the best-selling game ever in the United States. Passing, uh, ‘Wii Sports’
Folks, Grand Theft Auto V is now the best-selling game ever in the United States. I suppose it’s not really that surprising. You know, given the game’s popularity, and its tethering to the perpetual moneymaker that is GTA Online. However, do you know what is surprising to me? Fucking Wii Sports was the previous best seller.
Ben Affleck doesn’t know if he’ll play Batman again after ‘Justice League’, this dude hates the role
Ben Affleck has just up and fucking said it, folks. Dude doesn’t know if he’s going to play Batman again after Justice League. Amid months of rumors that the dude is departing, I can only interpret this as he is probably fucking done, but isn’t going to reveal such while doing promo for Justice League.
Disney was in talks to buy 21st Century Fox properties, as it continues to engorge itself on all culture
According to a shit load of reports yesterday, Disney was in talks to buy a significant amount of properties from 21st Century Fox. Admittedly, the news was both bonerfying and terrifying. A mix of “holy shit, Wolverine in the Avengers” and “dear god, Disney owns all of Western culture”, you know?
Brian Michael Bendis has signed an exclusive deal with DC, holy shit. Nothing makes sense anymore
What the fuck? Brian Marvel Bendis is no more. The writer who sort of totally fucking *is* Marvel comics has signed an exclusive deal with DC. Honestly, I’m having a little trouble wrapping my brain around this.
Monday Morning Commute: Perpetual Fatigue Machine
…and a fucking hearty salutation to everyone! As I predicted last week, it seems that Tuesday Evenings are the new Monday Morning this semester. I’m going to level with you folks, I’m fucking tired these days. My malignant malaise is equal parts Being In The Teeth of the Semester, Chemical Imbalance, and an Ever Increasing Lack of Sunlight.
Why, just mustering up this column begs a good amount out of me.
You know, after a ten hour work day.
You know, after going to the gym.
You know, after unpacking my bags.
You know, after walking the dog.
So on, and so forth.
But, I’m here. Hopefully, you are too. This is Monday Morning Commute. On a Tuesday Evening. Within these walls, I’m going to tell you what’s getting me through the week.
What I’m watching.
What I’m playing.
Et cetera.
I hope you’ll join me in the comments section with your own happenings.
Blizzard bringing their own official “Vanilla” servers to ‘World of Warcraft’
Blizzard is finally giving fans something they’ve wanted, and created for themselves for a while now. That’s right fuckaroos, World of Warcraft is getting its own “Vanilla” servers.
Amazon in talks for a ‘Lord of the Rings’ TV series, in case the franchise wasn’t already paste
I thought Peter Jackson and his nauseating ocular puke jobs masquerading as Hobbit movies had already stretched Tolkien as far as he could go. But, I was wrong! Amazon is taking another stab at extracting every ounce of wonder from the franchise.
KFC Japan is selling bath bombs that smell like fried chicken. We deserve our fates at this point
There’s something always freeing in seeing humanity collectively shrug at progress, and just lean into our collective rot. Like, how else am I supposed to interpret fucking fried chicken scented bath bombs?
