I can’t say I care much about which of these teams wins. The Braves have their stupid chant and the Cardinals have their own kind of stupid fan—I mean, they have the best fans in baseball.

That said, I’d still root for either of these groups of guys over the Dodgers in the NLCS.

His lack of hustle is one of the top headlines on MLB’s website right now. It doesn’t sound like the most egregious example of lackadaisical baserunning, although an extra base could’ve saved the game for the Braves (maybe! who knows!). Still, he didn’t truly cost the team by foolishly running into an out at second…

Is this the price people have to pay in order to get a Paper Mario game with actual RPG mechanics again? If so, that just plain sucks.

Here is the team I am rooting for: whoever is playing the Dodgers. If the Dodgers get eliminated, I’ll cheer for...Milwaukee? I dunno. I don’t really care. I definitely do not want Tampa Bay to win, lest every team decide that having an opener is suddenly a good idea, and I’m surprised that a Deadspin article does not…

It’s not perfect, but my favourite work of his is still the original Macross.

I’m not a big of Skies of Arcadia, as I consider it an average RPG, but shouldn’t Sega port it to some newer platforms like Steam and the Switch? I honestly thought this post might be an announcement when I saw the image but before I read the headline.

I’m not sure about a butt slam dunk, but I think a butt basket (where the basketball bounces off someone’s butt before going into the net) should be possible, although I’m at a loss to even conceive of a scenario in which it could happen.

If the gameplay and story of Ni no Kuni had been as good as its graphics, the game would’ve been one of the greatest RPGs of all time. Alas, the battles are dull and the story begins losing its charm after about five hours (and the White Witch section added to the PS3 version, and thus this remaster as well, is the…

Tales of Arise: we’re taking longer because we’re trying to make it better.

I hope that she has fun, but I’m worried this will be yet another sad attempt to come back that goes nowhere. Props to Clijsters for being one of the successful return-from-retirement stories in the past, yet it’s a lot easier to come back at age 26 than it is at age 36.

What does that make you?

That’s how I feel about this game. I bought the Virtual Console version of Link’s Awakening DX for like $3 or $4 CAD, and I don’t want to spend around 20x that amount for a substantial video and audio upgrade. With this remake, I’ll either get it as a gift or wait until it’s available for half the price.

It seems this guide could use an update to take into account Yakuza 3, 4, and 5 becoming available via bundle on the PS4 in North America!

Was that Mark Hamill voicing Don Corneo?

That Chrono Cross’s soundtrack is so good is all the more impressive considering it has one of the all-time worst RPG battle themes.

In any case, the sound quality of Chrono Cross’s OST is higher, but I like Mitsuda’s Chrono Trigger and Xenogears OSTs just as much (the latter’s OST suffers a bit in game, since it has…

While I’ve definitely spent a fair amount of time just hitting the lost item roulette and hoping to find the person who lost the item by chance, I did at one point just Google a list of who lost what. I don’t think it’s worth getting too worked up over this mechanic or spending a lot of time thinking about it.

Alas, the Dreamcast is a nostalgic console I have no nostalgia for. I remember it for being the original home for Skies of Arcadia (which I consider one of the most overrated RPGs of all time), Seaman (that super weird game with Leonard Nimoy), and Shenmue (the ambitious series I never tried and seems to have been…

Yeah, I agree about Serena benefitting from facing nobodies before the championship match (is it really impressive when Serena demolishes Qiang Wang in the quarterfinals? No). The WTA has been especially chaotic for seeded players in the past two years or so, with the world number ones of the week losing in the third…

I’m not sure that making it to the finals of four of the last six grand slams really counts as being “done,” but Serena’s fans need to realize that she is no longer the heavy favourite in these matches.

Well, unlike the men’s side, the WTA has a number of promising young players who’ve won grand slam titles, and Serena has to contend against them in addition to her growing age.
