Yeah, this. It wasn’t a perfect game but it’s fun, memorable, and challenging. To top it off, the article only mentions anything even SLIGHTLY related to the headline twice... that it’s using a “tired damsel trope” and that the princess gets squished by a cartoon cow.

I’m not sure I follow the thought process here. Earthworm Jim is a failed experiment because the levels are difficult to navigate and the princess is flattened by a cow?

This is incredibly rare. It only came about because one team was so far behind yet reached a point of playing perfect defense.

There is only one server, which they control. It seems like it's a console game. Alright then, you just only ever allow a PSN/XBL tag to appear once. Could someone theoretically continuously roll new tags? Sure, but then they have to pay for PSN/XBL every time, which would get pretty expensive, pretty quick. Not to…

WHAT IS AN HERB

I stood outside Target after hearing they'd have a few available. They had two.

Hey, man, it's just...like...an opinion.

It might have been a Sub-Zero freeze!

Actually, pokemon are killed when they are sucked into the ball. Arcane runes carved on the inside of the ball trap the soul of the creature inside, allowing you to command it through necromancy.
