That's what I mean though, you're only noticing the more vocal/active players. It's actually totally possible to play it without anyone noticing.

I think part of it is just the fact that if you're not playing, your only exposure to it are these sensationalized stories about dumb people doing dumb things while playing. You're not going to see anything about (or notice in the real world) the dude casually playing it off to the side because it just looks like he's…

I've always wondered why Pokemon fell into the "only for kids" cultural net, but not all the other Nintendo franchises. Was it the heavy non-game marketing (anime/card game/merch/etc)? What makes Mario socially acceptable for adults to play that Pokemon doesn't have? It's always seemed strange to me, collecting and…

I feel like there's a lot of weirdly unrealistic assumptions about how this game works. It's not that sonar map from the end of Dark Knight where your phone has a 3D layout of your surroundings, it's literally just google maps with Pokemon appearing randomly around players, plus a separate, optional AR component so…

It destroys your battery like nothing I've ever seen but data usage is actually very low.

I hope the huge influx of people wandering around outdoors because of this game causes a bunch of mysteries to be solved. I give Bigfoot two weeks.

That's a pretty badass way to end a mission.

It's kind of weird they got the rights to it, Godspeed isn't really known for being licensing friendly.

Oh shit wait it wasn't Sigur Ros, it was the beginning of Storm by Godspeed. I guess we somehow had different songs in our versions?

It was Sigur Ros though wasn't it? Or have the two just colesced into one in my mind?

Getting some heavy Neon Genesis vibes from this (particularly the end of the film) and I am super into it. Hope it's a good game.

Honestly "It was a long time ago. He was a little late, I was going to be a moment." could be a pretty devastating line given proper context. It'd be really interesting to see a screenwriter use this technology to get a starting point and then sculpt it into something coherent. Someone call David Lynch.

I actually got a little emotional during it, which I realize is just my dumb human brain being tricked by good acting, cinematography, and musical cues, but still. That "throws me out of his eyes" line is legit though.

They gave us a street date for NMS awhile ago (June 24 I think?) and then just recently pushed it back to August 9.

Look, this is a perfectly reasonable take on the scanning mechanic, but it's also saying something negative about Metroid Prime, and as a blind raging fanboy I'm going to have to GET MAD ABOUT THAT

I clicked out of curiosity because I genuinely believed that AV Club wouldn't just post an unedited clip of an existing episode of TV as an article. Those were simpler, happier times, when I ran unburdened through the fields of my naivety.

BURMAL

Kid does something silly onstage, audience plays along, internet jumps at chance to lament the downfall of humanity.

How has there been no mention of the joke so horrifying it ruined the plan?

The endearing, hopeful introduction was a trick and you fell for it. No one actually cares about Aviato besides Erlich.
