I remember that guy. Didn’t he scan all Ds and Es? After Fultoning he didn’t make the first cut.

If I saw the Daltrey & Townshend Duo and they were playing these hard-rocking facsimiles of The Who songs then I’d get what I was paying for. While that sort of thing might translate well to seeing Jerry Seinfeld on tour, donno if it applies to overgrown BBC DJs and video forum hosts. But yes, I’m selectively

So Nikola is or isn’t another Elon Musk brand? ‘Cause if it ain’t it’ll always confuse me.

A great tragedy but then it’s kind of like a Sex Pistols/ The Clash “supergroup”... You loved our awesome groundbreaking stuff and it’s all long in the past, but here, pay us enough to leave mansions to our grandkids and we’ll play the hits and you’ll get nothing new or original.

I _love_ the little Woods bio bits, especially the iCarly one. Maybe, uh, dole them out sparingly rather than blow your wad all at once? With all your cards on the table now it’s hard not to consider this a Requiem for James Woods Stories. Anyway, thanks for being an anti-billshit bulwark.

Whole diff dynamic with two romantically involved adults. Glad it was a good time though.

This list is pimpalicious. Makes a person realize just how much better the lineup got for SNes/Genesis. Whole nights playing U.N. Squadron and Shadowrun and other such silliness. Pilotwings was this generation at its best.

Right, totally right. I want some River City Ransom. Nobunaga’s Ambition. Skate or Die. Super Dodge Ball, Golgo 13, Track and Field. Whatevs. I know all of these aren’t actually Nintendo IPs, but giving you the idea of what people want.

Indeed. Tough to keep these things fresh in this day and age. Seems like this last wave of FH 2, Project Cars, Forza 6, Forza Horizon 3 might be the last push to make this genre last but sadly none of it has excited me much since the days of FM4.

Sadly Dirt Rally is barely different. It’s good but hasn’t drawn me back

World War I is wrapped up for now so I’m hoping for Call of Duty: Civil War.

Sometimes I wonder if they didn’t set it in such a late year for the purposes of having several automatic pistols and autoloading shotguns and modern military rifles etc. available. Don’t get me wrong—cool weapons and whatever—but man, decades after the Civil War, prospecting, homesteading, the fictional events of

Its mediocrity. I’m far past the point where I would shit on someone’s treasured film though, so I’ll leave it at this: samurai pictures make good westerns and the reverse might be true too. But blending the two to tell the story of the dying Old West through the modernizing of Japan... meh. More fun watching some

If you think this is an unpopular opinion here, then you can see why I ended my Destructoid subscription. As close as this site is to otaku, it really isn’t that much. Anyway, at least I can rely on people to quietly boo my opinions and go on about their day, and most of the writers are smart.

And it’s not Gamespot.

Hahah, yes, yes. As he dabbed a $1,000 bill to his eye he was reassured by faceless America rallying around him. Right, but part of celebrity is this odd worship of them and, yes, unless you’re Robet DeNiro or similar, you do care about what we think at least a little bit. Anyway, heheh, point taken.

The most amazing thing here is that The Last Samurai is on the list. It is A) of course not really a samurai picture, B) not very good. I watched it and felt unnecessarily bad for Watanabe, who is clearly perfectly capable of, you know, *growing hair in preparation for playing the part of a samurai,* and then I went

I think anyone who watched through the lean years of the nail-biting Citroen/Ford rivalry (the rivalry-by-necessity ‘cause they were the only manufacturers) know that it can only get so bad.
A FIAT/Ford/Peugeot/Citroen/Hyundai/Toyota battle royale would rule. Look at Ford... they haven’t had a sniff at a championship

Forgive me if I’m a little -over- the horrors of war thing too. The corny quotes from Einstein and Kissinger et al each time you die. The exhausted, world-weary, cynical warrior who nonetheless dispatches people with the ease of Schwartzenegger’s Predator character. In fact, I liked the Predator angle a little better:

Customization was weak enough in the first game, i.e. it felt like you had progressed through all of the major unlocks within a few days. I’m a bit surprised too that they would go from shallow customization to none.
