Well yeah that is basically the only PA joke there is. Black haired guy gets way too intense over something game/geek related, brown haired guy (or other character) treats him like he is dumb.

90% of the writer comments I see (on GMG sites as a whole, Kotaku is usually better than the rest) are just the writer being shitty or sarcastic to anyone who disagrees. 

The only way this happens is through a revolution or the US being invaded and surrendering to a different power that sets it up that way.

I would probably need some examples because I’ve never seen a game where the original sprites look better with CRT fuzziness, at least in my opinion.

That is 100% not correct. That entire opening segment was shown once with a comparison between 30 and 60 fps and again with 60 fps and an HD texture pack.

While I disagree with you on sprites from classic games (I’ve loved seeing the crisp and clean look of sprites in HD ever since seeing my first sprite rips in middle school), I agree about a general clash when mixing old and new.

I have an alternative take on this issue. Fuck milk in cereal, period. It adds nothing to the experience that you don’t get from a bowl of cereal and a glass of milk other than one less dish to clean and a countdown before it gets soggy.

I mean, it is a problem that should be fixed but I wouldn't call it 'game ruining'. At best you get 3 or 4 kills before you have to move on unless you get crazy lucky and are in the dead center of the final circle. 

Sure but couldn’t you argue that the GNR names are the authentic names for the English language?

Well if it makes you feel better, "fame" and wealth at a young age likely means they won't put any effort into other ventures or skills. So eventually their popularity will plummet and they'll be broke. 

Yeah how dare they talk about the story of a game that came out more than 2 years ago? Nobody should be able to talk about games until Potato Casserol has played it.

Eh I wouldn’t call it the “Mario spin” on the game. Mario Tennis has been a series forever and started off pretty great, then got worse in later generations. Can’t really give the Mario license credit by itself, the devs probably looked back at previous Mario Tennis titles and said “How can we make this good again?”

According to other comments there is a Basic mode that removes all the extra stuff. Won’t be long until we see demands of “Basic Mode, Clay Court, 3 Set, Mario only”, akin to “Final Destination, no items, 3 stock, Fox only”

Man, this guy is dedicated. After 20 years I would have said “Surely by now you have enough high quality clips of my yelling that you can tweak existing sound clips for any new screaming. I’ll just stick to the other work for Vegeta, acting like I’m the strongest Saiyan and then being angry when Goku continues to…

What I find entertaining is that out of all the Gawker and Gizmodo blogs the one catering to video games and weeb shit (note: I like weeb shit), things commonly considered for kids and immature manchildren, is the only blog where the majority of the writers act mature and behave like professionals.

If I had to guess I would say similar to PvP arenas in WoW, or possibly a large PvP zone for faction based combat.

Uh I hate to break this to you but Pokemon has literally never been difficult. The primary demographic is pre-teens. Note that none of that is a bad thing and the games are plenty deep while being easy.

You can be pedantic all you want but it was obvious they meant that it hasn’t had a official non-”early access” release.

I’m not calling you out specifically but your comment did remind me of what I see a lot in gaming circles that I find amusing. I often see:

Sounds like a deeper version of Reccettear or however it is spelled. I’m interested.
