Jeez, I can’t even coordinate with one person while trying to play Katamari. Doing it with 3 people is going to be nigh impossible.

Those ankles are his Achilles heels.

I’ve always associated Dark Souls with D&D due to its vast lore and the amount of player agency in play style. Obviously, Dark Souls isn’t the D&D of video games, but this seems like a pretty natural adaptation. I’m curious to see how this plays out for that group.

I actually learned about Orange Caramel through Roommates, a Real World/Big Brother esque reality show which places several celebrity strangers into a house together. Nana was one of the roommates. The dance from Catallena must’ve been poorly performed dozens of times in the first season.

Price’s comment is bizarre. That wasn’t a man pretending they know better than a woman; it was a gamer pretending to know better than a developer. Not every exchange between a man and woman has sexual motivation. Her femininity didn’t have any place in the conversation until she gave it one. Hammers and nails, I guess…

That’s the case with all cloud and streamed gaming though, unfortunately.

I’m personally interested in the creative process, both in video games and out. That’s why I’m sitting on a bunch of book proofs; it’s cool to see how a work has changed since its earlier state of development.

Well Steam really bungled the “Steam Machine” thing. It was hardly advertised, they licensed the name to 3rd party manufacturers, and there wasn’t really any quality control on them. It was a half-ass attempt, and everyone knew it. It was further damaged by running a Linux operating system, which relatively few people…

Steam Link is a neat device, and I like mine a lot, but it just streams content from your PC. In other words, if your Mac can’t run a game then the Link won’t help you. That having been said, there are quite a few excellent games available for Mac through Steam.

I don’t think it ran out of steam; the problem, as I see it, was that the massive success early in the series caused the editor assigned to the series to put too much trust in Kubo. As a result, Tite Kubo came up with some batshit ideas, as many writers do, and his editor was incapable of or unwilling to say no, so it…

I was actually thinking of the heat sink on top. Either way, I’m wrong.

We should start a pool for how long it takes for Hi-Rez to fuck it up or abandon it.

The niche accessories that gamers come up with are fascinating.

Yes, on the bottom.

AKB48 had a popular idol with a very public ear and bicep fetish. If idol otaku can put up with this level of weird shit then I think they can handle something as innocuous and ubiquitous as someone liking Pokemon.

I’m just glad they’re re-releasing Gamecube controllers. I passed last time and in the period since then the price has skyrocketed and my OG Gamecube controllers have broken. I’ll probably be buying 4.

There are so many Samurai games recently. Nioh, Nioh 2, this, and the FromSoftware game. I love it. Now I just need an Onimusha reboot.

This isn’t really that weird of a game. I’ve been playing Jump crossovers since Jump Super on the DS, but J-Stars Victory Vs. actually received a western release on the Vita, PS3, and PS4. It just seems like nobody noticed it.

I’m doing my best.

Personally, I loved Smash Tour; it was probably my most played mode in small groups. I think Smash Tour would be a welcome edition in Smash 5; in fact, I want them to expand it - more mini-games, more powerups, more random events, more boards.
