Ultimate team is nuts. Not to mention EA is so grateful to its players that when you reach the max level they give you a nice reward, which is to be able to pay them $20 to buy a pack that gives you a really good card.

Depressing that a man committing a crime in a virtual FIFA game – wrong as it is – could face a longer sentence than actual FIFA execs ever do for corruption on a multi-million dollar scale.

i think it is the case for most people. i’ve never seen someone other than you say DS has good, non laggy pvp

I get that Kotaku is the we hate PUBG and love Fortnite site, but they seem to play so differently to me it’s almost the old Call of Duty/Battlefield comparison. 

Kind of but not really slow news. It’s pretty much the ‘light side’ of the extraordinarily brutal (and deadly) summer it’s been to Japan as a whole; crazy rain floods, and now well-above-average temperatures.

Would you prefer reading that Dolt 45 has tweeted us into a shooting war?

^ Right - worrying about temperatures is really a voluntary thing. You can just install your stuff at stock speeds, put on a basic cooling solution, and leave it, and as long as you clean your case every so often you shouldn’t have any issues. Overclocking and its attendant headaches and fixations are strictly opt-in.

Don’t worry, I’m sure his supporters will find a way to blame Obama.

This is the first time I’ve heard this choir. I’m a vocalist, choir singer, and I’ve directed childrens choirs (I’m more than a bit of a choir geek). That was an outstanding performance, and their soloist was amazing! (It helps that the song is an amazing piece of art as well!). I don’t watch tv, so thank you for…

Far more people are familiar with Cockle, making him synonymous with the character. I doubt this revelation will change that perception. Not that it’s particularly important to non Polish speaking folk.

I mean, that’s an interesting quote but I sort of think you have to look at the leading phrase “As democracy is perfected” to modulate this take a bit.

Ruining a community gathering to watch a one time only in game event? Yeah, I’ll confidently call that trolling.

Meanwhile....

Nintendo: Fuck you and buy one of our boxes. The box doesn’t have your game? Fuck you HARDER.

“We don’t want you to enjoy our work from unauthorized sources. The only legitimate modern-day way to enjoy our classic, timeless work is by trampling each other to get a NES or SNES classic during their extremely limited runs. We hope that what you want to play is one of the 50 games across both devices. We will not…

If I could buy these games at a fair price for use across my 3DS and Switch, Nintendo would earn a LOT of my money.

I put like 40+ extra games on the SNESretro, I’m tired of Nintendo deciding whats best for me to play when half the stuff isn’t even available physically, is overpriced or hasn’t even been translated. Nintendo needs to back off, this stuff is like 25 years old now. 

Good joke.

So does this hopefully mean that the games they are taking down will finally be available to purchase on Switch?
