The New 3DS’s 3D is awesome and I always keep it on unless somebody else is watching my screen.

Still just the gray Joy-Con, huh? Are they even making the colored ones anymore?

My excuse is that Catan is too political. I’d rather not spend my evening trying to convince somebody not to trade with somebody else because “can’t you see they’re winning?”

My list is empty, since I assume Nintendo will once again produce far too few units and I won’t be able to find one for a reasonable price.

I’m starting to think that all the people that insert talk about Bernie Bros., etc. into the comments of every single article are just conservative shills trying to undermine Democratic unity. Anybody else getting that feeling?

Just keep hating your straw man. I hope it keeps you warm at night.

Counterpoint: Legendaries do ruin competitive Pokémon.

So I think what you’re saying is that the word “might” makes the sentence effectively meaningless? Because to me, if he might be the world’s best game designer, then he definitely is close; he’s in the running. But uh, he’s not. He’s not close. He’s a great Magic card designer. There are some really fantastic Mario…

Gotcha, thanks. Weird that I didn’t notice it before (on Wii U).

One thing I noticed last night was that my map now had a cone to indicate which way the camera was pointing. I don’t remember that being there pre-patch. You could always see which direction Link was looking, but not the camera.

I’m curious if he did! :P

Rosewater might just be the best game designer in the world.

Boo, they only have units with gray Joy-Cons. I’ll wait.

A lot of your criticisms are just a matter of taste. You don’t like the color palette of the world. I find it beautiful and varied, but OK. You don’t like having destructible weapons. I think that’s valid, although I don’t see how you can be upset about a crappy club breaking when there are a million more of them out…

So which is it, the “AHCA”, or the “ACHA”? I’m almost sure it’s “AHCA”, but the article says “ACHA” every time, and public radio did the same thing this morning.

Jason, did you ever play the Prinny games for PSP? If so I’m curious how you felt about those. I’m wondering if there’s a correlation between enjoying those games and enjoying Plague of Shadows. Seems like the playstyle is somewhat similar.

Hmm, I wonder how much of this was just differences in expectations. I went into Plague of Shadows expecting the same game with a different playable character. So to me the changes to levels and the fleshed-out plot (and the extensive customization and the other twists on the first campaign) all far exceeded my…

Agreed. I especially liked the boss rematch challenges for Plague Knight. “OK, now beat this boss with this loadout. In 30 seconds.”

Correct.
