You have to earn the beard.

Carey had an entire successful career BEFORE TPIR.  He gets to have whatever beard he wants now.

He looks fine?

What a fucking weird comment.

There’s more to it than that, but that’s part of it.

Letterman has basically dealt with severe self-loathing issues his entire life. Even in his early days in the 80s on Late Night he famously hated almost every performance he gave, night after night. His producers will tell you there’s about 12 shows he ever did that…

Nomura *cannot fucking help himself*. This needs to be understood by all. Just look at Kingdom Hearts. That shit is a mess narratively.

If Nomura can make something stupidly convoluted and poorly told, he will absolutely take it.

No, Rich is firmly in the “elder millennial” camp. He’s 35.

I’m an Elder Millennial as well, and Rich is consistently the writer at Jez with the worst takes on almost everything because he views everything through the lens of his NYC existence and basically has no touchstone to anything else.  It is baffling how…

So Kotaku is now resorting to front-paging old articles written by superior games journalists that left because of ownership bs on the weekend because they have nothing good to post?

Wow.

Say a lot.

Oh cool, a sociopath.

I think your “crayolas” analogy is off, here, though.

Kondo composed with the SNES music sampling in mind. Had he access to modern samples, it is VERY likely he would have written something completely different.

The limitation helped create the art.

It’s fine to like the remasters (I think some of them work...and others…

“The remastered songs are objectively better both for the player’s enjoyment and a better representation of the original artistic vision that had to be COMPROMISED because of those old limitations.”

This pretty much confirms to me that you aren’t a musician (nor a composer).

I guarantee these were chosen by Kondo and…

I mean, the article was pretty clearly meant to be partially a joke.

It’s just that Ethan isn’t very witty and writing ironic humor is DEFINITELY not in his wheelhouse.

This was only good if Pitchford was gone, and since he isn’t then nothing will have changed, really.

It’s so very clear you have no idea what you’re talking about. It’s honestly cringeworthy. You should calm down.

Nintendo didn’t cancel a property, they halted an adaption. This hurt Nintendo literally zero. There will be no market consequence for this literally at all. Not even a little bit.

Yes, the company that has been around for over 100 years and not only is still going strong, but had to readjust their earnings expectations in the last 12 months because they blew past all of their benchmarks definitely doesn’t know how marketing works and never has.

That’s the ticket. That definitely makes the most…

You have no idea what you’re talking about and it really shows.

The original first 2 Zelda games are directly linked (Zelda 2 takes place about 6 years later), and Link to the Past and Link’s Awakening are the same Link as well.

Not that it matters.  There’s enough stuff you could pull from all over the place to distill into a single show.  No need to adapt a specific game.  

Nintendo has no reason to keep the deal though. They don’t need it. They gave Netflix a shot to keep to an agreement and they couldn’t (one employee or not, that’s still the outcome). It doesn’t matter that “it would have been leaked eventually”. Those were the terms.

Japan doesn’t do business like the US does. …

I will defend F13 for NES all day. It isn’t a *great* game but I think it’s largely misunderstood because of translation problems and a poor manual.

Sadly the first thing the game tells you (“use the torch to light the fireplaces”) is straight-up incorrect and will leave a new player confounded about the objective.…

This is one HELL of a bad take. Wow.

Wow.

Yeah, THAT’S what happened.

Sure.

Rich hasn’t earned anything else, quite frankly.
