That wasn't so much a gimmick, but a revitalization of an old idea: the joystick. It's also worth mentioning that the Neo Geo CD had an analog stick much closer to what we see on our controllers today. Another tidbit, the Sega Master System had a thumb stick, but it wasn't analog.

"Jotaro goes to a university which requires uniforms," alternatively, "Jotaro never graduated high school."

If I was the studio (and knew that this was going to happen) I would've retconned the show. Make Jotaro older so that it's no longer underage smoking. When the Blu-Ray releases just retconn it again, make him the appropriate age, and shit-talk the Japanese version of the FCC in the special features.

In an interview with Nikkei, Iwata briefly mentioned the hardware, saying he wouldn't go into particulars about the NX. "However, if you only expand upon existing hardware, it's dull," Iwata said. "In some shape or form, we're always thinking about how we want to surprise players as well as our desire to change each…

There's also a "Snoopify" app which allows you to put stickers on images. The most expensive sticker, a golden jay, costs $100.

Any clue what ruleset it'll be following? I'd hope fifth edition, but I wouldn't be surprised if they went with fourth edition given how recently the fifth was released.

The store page also features several quotes from press outlets about the game, including one calling it a 2D Dark Souls. Well no wonder I suck at it.

I've never actually seen that movie, but now I want to. It looks super cheesy.

I always figured that the transformation itself would be incredibly painful.

I just figured that it was a short-cut dress.

Why are the arms so lumpy? It's not like they're just thick, they're oddly shaped.

Maybe I'm in the minority on this, but I'd have liked to see all of that make it to the show. Sure, some of it might not be as exciting as the battle of blackwater, but it gives an overall picture of what's happening elsewhere across the world. It's easy to forget that things are happening not involving the Starks,…

Dying Light was already a tough game for many people when it first came out, but a new patch this week answered other players' demands by making it even harder.

I think the author was going for aesthetics rather than authenticity. Obviously, the resolution is too high, but that doesn't bother me in the slightest. I think it's a pretty nice looking demake, and I'd like to see a set of 1920x1080 images made in this style so that I can use them for my desktop background.

I wish I could see this with a high speed camera. My line of thinking is that the gun is powerful enough to go through multiple sheets of wrap, it's the space that's killing the bullet. When the BB hits the first wrap it 1) slows down 2) changes trajectory, so by the time it reaches the second sheet it is no longer…

Hosoda is just a really good director who knows how to make anime that the whole family can enjoy. He's currently the only director who I think can achieve recognition in the west from mainstream audiences.

I wouldn't' mind too much if Ghibli were to close outright. The worst case scenario is that the major talent leaves and the studio continues to make mediocre films, thus fading in to obscurity. Eventually losing all of your talent will be known as "doing a Ghibli."

No, it's just one of the most accessible rogue-lites, which is probably why Nathan mentioned it.

The wording of "user-generated stores" is interesting. It makes me think of something like the Cydia store on iOS or the countless Android app stores, which come with an official source with what the store's developers consider important and allow users to add their own sources, which compile apps that the source's…

I can see why someone might buy the physical edition - it'd make for a nice conversation piece or bathroom book - but why would anyone want the ebook? I can't imagine that this encyclopedia has any information which can't be learned from a website like the Anime News Network.
