This seems to be plausible. I tried reading my ORCA card (transit card for the Seattle area) with my Wii U gamepad, and it came up with a "This Amiibo is not supported by this game" error. The Farebot app for Android (which reads the ORCA card with an NFC-enabled phonr and returns a balance) can read an Amiboo as…

Can't see this ever catching on unless they can somehow figure out how to cram 50 more seats into the thing.

A couple that come to mind from the original Xbox:

I have a job that exposes me to a large number of different phones that we use for interoperability testing, and we get quite a few LG phones in. I don't know what it is about them, but there's something that just feels off about the things compared to phones like Samsungs or HTCs. It might come down to things like…

It's been years since I played WoW, but it's hard to really state just how disruptive it was at the time it came out. Before WoW, the only MMOs which I had played were Asheron's Call (which I spent huge quantities of time on) and AC2 (which just never really caught on.) To give you some idea of what we were dealing…

I did see the Gamecube controllers (both the Wiimote version and the Gamecube versions) on the shelves at various places today, but the adapter was obviously nowhere to be found. Fortunately I've still got a Wavebird around to use if I can ever get the adapter.

Obligatory:

So far, I haven't found anything compelling enough to convince me to buy either one, but I'd say I have more reason to get an XBone than a PS4 at this point. Then again, I've long felt that one's enjoyment of a Playstation system depends heavily on how much you like first-party Sony titles, and most of those don't…

So basically it's nerd sniping, minus the nerds?

I've kind of been looking at upgrading to a bigger TV but at this point I'm trying to figure out if it's even worth buying one at this point or if I'd be better off waiting another year. Currently I have a 40" Sony that I bought back in 2009, and this year I'm looking at something in the 60" range since it seems like…

Better hurry and lock this comment thread in protest.

So this movie ought to be, oh, somewhere around 87 hours long, with 78 hours of it consisting of little but staring?

That, plus the fact that there are quite a few skidmarks on the ground in a lot of sections,

That was from a different publisher. Irem, I believe.

Seems to be a much more adorable version of Mr. Resetti.

I seriously doubt they were doing anything with Pixar, but given the nature of the industry it's highly likely there's at least some degree of cross-pollination (employees going from one to the other over time) involved.

A couple of oil changes and a new battery.

Nothing to see here.

My top 5:

I haven't played this game (and most likely won't, it just doesn't appeal to me) but in general, it seems to me that when games feature some sort of "interesting" mechanic (such as the hacking in this one, or the wallrunning/parkour mechanics in games like Mirror's Edge and the Prince of Persia series) they do a great…
