Yeah, I agree. Can't really be mad when the system gave us the great games you mentioned (you forgot Pikmin 3 and Woolly World).
I mentioned downthread that it wouldn't even bother me if they ported the U's whole library to the Switch. The more people that might get to play the games they (foolishly) missed out on…

Wish I could upvote that more than once. If Nintendo were to become a ghost of its old self, ala Sega, I'm hanging up my cleats. The "other guys" may be the nerve center of the industry, but Nintendo is it's beating heart and soul.
I'm really holding out hope that the Switch is a huge success for them. And as…

From what you've written so far, I'm getting a Dark Souls (lite maybe..hopefully) kind of impression. I know you're limited on what you can say about it, but I'm hoping I'm on the right track.
Like every Wii U owner, the wait for this fucker has been an eternity, but the review you've written pretty much ensures the…

Oh man, some of that wafer thin ham with melted cheese on a biscuit….and then three gallons of water and you're "still" thirsty.
Totally worth it though. That's some good shit.

Mine too! Let's grab a couple footlongs from Hot Dog King, catch a dollar movie at The Village on Warwick, and then hit the arcade at Putt Putt!!
I doubt any of those three things are still there, but that was an idyllic summer evening for teenage me.
I know traditional malls are failing all across the country, but I…

Just remember to call Norfolk "Nawfuck" and you're good!

Grew up in Hampton also, with grandparents in Lynchburg, so there were many childhood road trips that took us by the Virginia Diner. I'd use their Burma Shave like signs (posted every few miles) to gauge how close or far away we were from our destination. And yes, Virginia peanuts (along with hams) are the best kind.
…

Oh man, Cap Toad was such a little gem on that system. Perfect old school game design.

That's about where I'm at. Age, having kids, other interests, it all cuts into that "endless" game time I seemed to have years ago. When I do have time to play, I just want something that takes me back, and Nintendo, for all their shortcomings in other areas, are masters of nostalgia.
They're also masters of game…

Oh fuckin' wow. THAT was a memory I thought I'd washed off till reading your comment. Did the trailer commercial for the movie "Magic" scare the fuck out of you too?

Upvoted for two working controllers in 89.

Try a BK Dinner Basket!

No shout out to the Mickey's Big Mouth?
You could get drunk as fuck AND cut the shit out of your hands with the fucked up pull tab tops on them bitches.

I damn near get the splats just saying its name.

Man, fuckin' Goldschlager will sneak up and knock your dick in the dirt. That shit is pure distilled evil.

Damn skippy! And they didn't break every two weeks like the weak ass 2600 joysticks.

I get that, I do. And I'm sure some people complain about him because they're racist.
But for most of us, he singles himself out for bullshit because of the crap he pulls. You don't see that kind of hate toward almost any other black artist, because most of them know how to act in public. I seriously think the man…

You can say with a straight face that Kanye "isn't" treated like royalty? JFC. Why, because people think he's an ass because of his antics? I'm sure if Twitter/Facebook/etc. existed when Zeppelin was roaming the earth, there'd be a fuckton of outrage over some the shit Bonham got into on tour.
But make it all out…

As long as you limit it to once a week, and on Sundays, I think you're probably good to go.

Yeah, fair enough. Kind of like when modern TV shows depict someone playing Gears Of War, but the sound effects are from Centipede. (I actually saw this on one of the cop shows my wife watches).
I'm pretty sure I've never described myself as a "gamer", but videogames are and have been a pretty big part of my life…
