the deal-breaker for me, besides the lack of hd rumble, is the fact that many games on the switch are already a struggle to decipher on anything but my 40 inch monitor. smash bros. can become almost incomprehensible in handheld on the regular sized switch. i cannot fathom trying to keep up with a four or more player…

they should definitely reboot. the series has gone on about fifteen years too long.

this would be the perfect point to end the series.

i’m burned out on comics—it was superhero comics, batman in particular, that killed the passion, but without that hook, my passion for comics, comic stores, and all related media, faded in general. i had probably every issue of batman from the early 90's to 2009—in the end, it was grant morrison’s slapdash batman…

anchorman 2 is what killed anchorman for me. i similarly loved the first film but was ice cold on the sequel.

as someone who basically dropped out COD after modern warfare 2's multiplayer amped things up too much—attracting a personality type i loath—this does sound interesting to me.

mcmillen seems to be no angel, himself. just look at all his burned bridges.

this honestly sounds incredible. 

the story of the overweight guy feeling bullied into walking until his chafing legs bled is horrifying.

precisely. i’ve always reminded myself that there’s little distinction between pretending to be stupid and actually being stupid. 

great comment. personally my favorite godzilla films are the non-hammy ones: the original godzilla, godzilla 1984, godzilla 14, and especially shin godzilla, which i hold to be a goddamned fucking masterpiece of filmmaking, full of wit, heart, horror, and cultural and historical resonance.

becuase it’s more granular and precise in its criticism rather than ideological and vague?

“ the core gameplay is indeed repetitive and thats what the game is all about”

i suspected this would be the case. after completing the beta, i was emailed a questionnaire about how to improve the game. i declined to fill it out. there was just too much that was essentially wrong with it, and i could tell that whomever was in charge of story was so wrong-headedly deluded about the direction they…

you need a few ounces of plutonium? what’s your address? 

steam lets any game launch on their store—they’re democratically indifferent—epic, on the other hand, chooses which games to launch, and places an expectation of exclusivity on the publisher in order t0 launch.

valve was completely in the right by complaining. it’s not their fault their users are immature.

shame, i wanted to get one. but i guess it’s dead now.

also hawaii is his home state, which makes it a more valid destination for a vacation... as if he needs an excuse (which he doesn’t)

glad you brought up the Halifax explosion. what an absolutely horrifying disaster. completely wiped out a local indigenous population.
