Microsoft’s gotten the green light to buy the fuck out of Bethesda’s parent company, ZeniMax. I think we all sort of thought it was a fait accompli, but now that shit is really happening. And with it? My god! Could, could Microsoft actually have some interesting exclusives? Finally?

Oculus Lawsuit Ends With ZeniMax Being Awarded $500 Million. That’s A Lot of Junior Bacons
The lawsuit between Oculus and ZeniMax has reached (a first) conclusion, with the latter being awarded $500 million. That’s, that’s a lot of Junior Bacon Cheeseburgers, man. But don’t buy them burgers yet, ZeniMax. At least not with the court ordered money. ‘Cause I imagine this case is going to be appealed, and then appealed again, so on, and so forth. Forever.
ZeniMax is taking OCULUS VR to court. If only Oculus had a rich backer.
We’ve reported before on ZeniMax being a bit pissed at some of their tech being ninja’d as John Carmack left the company for Oculus. Now they pissed. Talking court. Go ahead, ZeniMax. Take Oculus VR to court. Motherfuckers are owned by Facebook, which means to me that they’re pretty much comfortable sitting in a court room and farting on piles of cash for as long as it takes. But hey, I’ll bring the popcorn. Slap fight for a bit. The world is watching.
ZeniMax is all like JOHN CARMACK STOLE OCULUS RIFT TECHNOLOGY
Apparently ZeniMax ain’t feeling John Carmack. Ain’t feeling him in the least. The ‘Mack Daddy’s (I fucking suck, I know) former company is accusing the co-creator of Doom and Quake of stealing technology on his way out the door to Oculus. Who is right? Who is wrong? What’s the applicable shade of gray? Who cares. Watching Big Dumb Companies fight is fun for me.
John Carmack left ID SOFTWARE because they were like “NOPE” to Oculus Rift development
John Carmack, the coding genius/nightmare behind Quake and Doom left id Software last year. While most thought it was because he wanted to roll much deeper with the Oculus Rift, there’s a bit more to the story. Specifically, he was all “let’s like partner the fuck up! with Oculus” and the parent company ZeniMax was like “naw, bruh.”
‘FALLOUT 4’ TEASER SITE proclaims that NUCLEAR WINTER IS COMING. As Am I.
Sweet Merciful Dingleberries, how the fuck did I miss this?! How did I?! Not only is there a fucking teaser site for Fallout 4, but it has itself one of them bona fide hype-inducing countdowns. Jesus Christ.
