That is pretty bad... and also pretty unlike what I've heard TB saying. I know for some time there was this contingent of people who believed Anita herself had created the death threats made against her, but I don't know that any actual credible evidence came forward to show that, and I know the internet (and world at…

Yeah, romantic comedies more often than not portray a kind of love/connection that's completely unrealistic and very unhealthy.

I thought maybe he said something on Reddit or somewhere like that. I don't know. But it seems like every time someone goes running their mouth about hating major game journalists that I watch (TB, Adam Sessler, Jim Sterling) they never have a basis to their hatred. They just heard a guy who heard another guy say that…

GG was about journalistic ethics. It got sabotaged pretty early on by some people who just wanted a hashtag to rally their attacks against Anita and Zoe around. It's kind of pathetic, because those idiots completely derailed and halted the discussion that GG was trying to have, and ever since then it's become a…

I could hardly have said it better myself. She cherry-picks some VERY poor scenes where it's almost clear just through the information she presents that the context of the scene completely invalidates her issues with it. If you can dig a little bit and find that what she presents as problematic simply isn't so in the…

What did Totalbiscuit say/do? The guy's fantastic as far as I'm aware, and any criticism I've heard from him about Anita is legitimate.

I see these as entertainment, not the freaking Olympics. I don't care if you 'won fair and square'. It's not like the speedrun community doesn't recognize glitched and non-glitched speedruns as separate world record times. (hint: it does) You just see glitched ones reported more often because they're simply more…

I seriously don't understand why you think it's such a foreign concept. Do YOU have the time to intently watch a guy play 8 hours of Ocarina of Time? Because that's the kind of playtime you're looking at for someone who doesn't glitch the game. For every moment of incredible timing, skill or just plain interesting…

Yes, actually, I believe that would be considered a crime.

I made the realization on this one that, actually, like the DSi, I really don't need it. And so I won't be getting one.

And devs managed to port Battlefield 3 and Witcher 2, a couple of last gen's most ridiculously graphically-intense PC-buster games, straight to the even-more inferior Xbox 360 and PS3. Systems with a fraction as much RAM and older, slower hardware than the Wii U.

Might help your case if you backed up your 'objective' argument with some solid facts.

The Wii U is definitely a lot stronger than the 360 and PS3. Maybe it's running at similar clock speeds and whatnot, but it's undeniable how ridiculously pretty it's running games. I mean, Bayonetta 2, Mario Kart 8, and plenty more gorgeous games are running full 1080p and 60fps. Whereas games looking almost as good…

They lost any chance they had at making a customer of me when they marketed a equalizer like it was some kind of amazing new technology. It's not even an EQ you could change, IIRC it was either "Beats audio on" or "Beats audio off", the latter of which actually swapped to another, purposely terrible EQ setting in…

I can't stand this Flappy Bird stuff. It honestly makes me sick to my stomach as a gamer and as a developer. (hear me out. At least read the last mini-paragraph if you're going to skip/ignore everything before responding)

I don't think this is what's important at all. "black lives matter" - what? Who's giving the police a pass in this matter? Who's looking at this situation, all these police killing people, and saying "well when they're black it's ok, but the white ones really scare me!"

Nail on the head right there. I can't believe how many people seriously can't empathize even for a second with someone who's put on the defensive by their poorly worded argument. And fuck, if someone says "hey, but I'm not like that", they're NOT trying to debunk the whole argument or say that X never happens -…

Miyamoto also talked about the Wii U games that he personally is involved with at the moment, like Zelda and Star Fox. "I like to create gameplay mechanics more than I do stories," he says of the new Star Fox. "The story might not be too different from past Star Fox games, but the gameplay mechanics are going to feel…

You race over to the space station, neither stopping for supplies, nor waiting to power up your suit. It's one of those awkward screenwriting tropes, where the needs of the gameplay conflict with the narrative logic. How does Samus, who spent the previous two games powering up, start her new mission at square one,…

From this log, you learn a bit about Samus' personality— just enough to fill in the rest. She has a forthright, practical attitude about her work. She has a moral conscience, beyond the 'soldier-for-hire' concerns of a bounty hunter. But most importantly, Samus humanizes the Metroid hatchling, comparing its actions to…
