I've always meant to google Keith David, but I've never gotten around to it. I have no idea who he is, and was never even certain (until right now, I guess) he wasn't just a fictional celebrity like Nyte Blade.

Keanu has been the darling of memers and and reddit for years. Spends a lot of his money for charities, is down to earth and approachable.
I think it all started with the sad Keanu meme.

I mean Keith David's only had a career spanning 40 years. Mostly as a supporting and character actor, rather than a lead. But he almost always is a plus to a movie, rather than a minus.
Absolutely TONS of voice work, too.

Two big roles in games: Admiral David Anderson in the Mass Effect series, and The Arbiter in the Halo series.
The Imam in Pitch Black and Chronicles of RIddick
Spawn in that weird-ass HBO animated series
Goliath in Disney's Gargoyles
Childs in John Carpenter's The Thing (1982)
King in Oliver Stone's Platoon (1986)
Sgt. Cantrell in Sam Raimi's The Quick and The Dead (the gunslinger movie with Sharon Stone, Leonardo Di Caprio, Russell Crowe, Gene Hackman)
and a few dozen others.

I thought at first you meant “Larry David” and I thought boy are you about to be disappointed,

Including his role most relevant to Saints Row, namely playing opposite Roddy Piper in "They Live" (The movie that gave us the quote, "I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum. ")
I have been thoroughly shamed
FTFY.

The biggest dissapointment of E3, for me, was that 8Bitdo doesn't seem to have been there at all. I was really hoping to get an update on their Pro+ model controller.

The lawsuit between Stardock and the Star Control original coders has been settled.
Saw that, here's one of the developers' blogs with the story, spoiler alert, bees saved Start Control.

As much as it pains me to see Stardock get anything out of that deal, I'm glad it's over.
Star Control Origins, outside of the controversy, is still just a shitty imitation of Star Control that takes all of the gameplay and beats of Star Control 2 and makes them less fun and more cumbersome.
What a disappointing list. Man my hand-held Turbografx, bunch of games and a case of AA batteries were a mind-saver during Desert Stupidity.Konami has announced a TurboGrafx-16 mini. It's Konami, so they'll probably find some way to fail at this, but the announced games are:

Best Nintendo has actually earned consumer trust over the years basically.
Not IMO. Quick google: https://www.polygon.com/2017/11/6/16612080/youtube-nintendo-super-mario-odyssey-demonetization
And I've never heard anything that says they're any better to their developers than any other software house, especially Japanese ones (sweatshops). If you've heard differently, great, please inform us.
Because I've never heard of Nintendo being caught in an outright lie before.
Yeah, the way they treat YouTuber's is shitty & I'm not going to try and defend that - but I will say that while they treat non-employees badly they do seem to value their employees.
Just do a quick Google search for "Nintendo bosses pay cut" to see the way top bosses took pay cuts rather than lay off staff when the 3DS & WiiU were struggling.
Working the same schedule as anyone else in Japan does is a little different than 100+ hours of crunch for weeks straight.

Apparently Commander Keen is making a comeback.... but it's not good.
I could accept the new style choice if the game was even remotely like the previous series, but it's just some quick cash grab mobile game so...
As a mobile game, no less

60Hz vs 240Hz gaming, does it make a difference?
Yes it does.
